have managed to obtain a new supply of brown crumb,so made up a big sensas bucket full,added some corn,scopex flavouring,casters,3mm green pellet,and some minced up white chocolate 6mm boilies,and took my alsatian,sadie,with me to my beloved bristol docks,for a little pre baiting.i hadn't taken into account three factors.1.sweet mary mother of jesus ,was it hot! 2nd.the place i intended to fish is no more than fifty yards from a very renowned pub,and i think that everyone sitting outside or in the vacinity,must have thought i was a right looney toon! 3rd.the peg (26) was empty at the time,but come early sunday mornig,and a boat might have moored up overnight!!
so off i went with my pre baiting,and nothing was said to me,though i did get a few odd looks,but im used to that!! sunday came and i was at peg 26 by 5 am!! i mixed up 6 balls of the same mix as befofe and balled in at 10 metres. i decided to fish with double red maggot,and after giving the swim five mins to settle down,i swung into action.15 seconds no more,and my float buried.out popped a small roach.next put in and i got a skimmer of about 10 ozs.this went on till about 7 am,when i struck into a fish ,and the whole pole just shook!!! i thought "what the fxxk is this,this time??"as i thought it might be a big eel.played the fish really carefully and after about 10 minutes,up popped a lovely dark green tench of about 2/12 lb!! i had heard of them before but i was not expecting to catch one.i did lose a good bream of at least 4lb,that did me as i went to net it.still,this docks is throwing up some great sport for me at the moment,and i love it big time!!!!!!
