I have just returned from a morning’s coaching at the Surrey tench lake I have mentioned here several times. I was to take the Morris boys, Jack and Alex on their second lesson. Unfortunately their Dad was unable to come so Grandad came instead but did not fish.
The weather had not been kind over the previous two days, the temperature having dropped quite a lot and the tench and carp were not feeding very enthusiastically. We still managed a few bites for both the boys but only Jack managed to connect.
He caught this nice tench which gave a spirited fight. He followed it with a good rudd. The bait for both fish was prawns.
Both lads fished very hard but Jack being older than his brother had the edge in concentration and hand eye co-ordination and managed to hit two bites on a difficult day. Perhaps it will be Alex’s turn next time.
