🎣 A Sunday morning return to the roach pond
After yesterday‘s session and the interesting scenario with the fish regarding location, I was intrigued enough to return to the same swim, and cast to the spot where I had the roach.
The silvers were still there and, after a short wait for my first bite, it was action all the way again.
Not necessarily a fish every cast though, as I had more sucked maggots than roach, but nevertheless, it was a busy 1.5 hour session.
Tackle, bait and tactics
