went down there yesterday afternoon, had an amazing 6 hours, amassing a great weight of tench and bream and also losing 2 absolute monsters.

got there at 2pm to find 2 gents on the oak trees by the royal oak pub. so i walked further along,about half way between the bridges. was very overcast and was not sure what to expect. first chuck on single magg on 22 hook i get a perch touching a 1lb,followed by a prime roach about 10oz and a succession of roach,rudd up to 5oz and then bang, out came the no4 elastic,following a hefty fight i netted a great tench about 3lb. Out came the monster gear,14 elastic 5lb line 16 hook. Had another tench straight away about 3lb followed by a succession of skimmers up to 1lb+. Then came a boat which met a quiet spell, but having fed some more worm i got into the tench again, catching 4 in 4 chucks the biggest about 4.5lb. Then a bream came to top about 4lb and the smile could be seen on my face from a long way away.Nosey gents drinking in the beer garden ambled over to ask what i was doing,what didnt help was that one of them spued his guts up in the margin,human grounbaiting at its best. The missus came over and i set her up on a 5m whip and she was annoyingly outcatching me, perch,roach skimmer hybrids and bump a tench just as my laccy was out again, now this was awlkward, 2 tench on at same time..but we just about managed it even tho mine was a tad bigger than her 2lb specimen.I then had a succession of tench and 2 real quality bream about 4lb, the biggest tench was about 5lbs and snagged me up twice en route to the net. i also got smashed up twice, they must have been carp or monster tench to snap 5lb 12oz line.the missus went at 6 so i had last hour to myself and added a few more tench, a 6lb pike that took double maggot and another couple of real prime roach that looked like they'd never been caught before, 1 was well over the pound mark.last half hour was spoilt by a barge full of morons hammered out of their heads speeding thru,and a young child who accompanied and ecouraged by her father started shcuking bricks in the canal about 6 yards away.it was a fantastic days fishing, just goes to show what the curley wyrley canal is capable of. ended up with 14 tench 4 bream,6 skimmers and about 10lbs of roach rudd and perch. not to forget the pike.
