“On a recent trip to my local club water in Cheshire, I was feeder fishing for a bit of everything, hoping for tench, bream, and the occasional crucian.
“I opted for the groundbait feeder and used a small 6mm dumbell hookbait.
"I hooked a fish that gave a great fight, bending the rod right round. I thought it was a carp at first, but it turned out to be this cracking crucian, weighing 4lb exactly.”
