After a relatively hard spring spent tench fishing on his Norfolk syndicate lake, Andy Waters’ efforts were rewarded in spectacular fashion when he landed this 11lb 7oz fish alongside five nine-pounders!
A month of cold winds had impacted sport at the venue, but with an air pressure drop and a south- westerly blowing in, Andy positioned himself on the lake to take full advantage.
Fishing maggot feeders on heli-rigs, he was into fish from his second morning, the first one landed being a 9lb 4oz specimen. This was followed up with a few smaller tench, before fish of 9lb 3oz and 9lb 10oz came to the net.
His next bite was from an altogether more powerful fish, and when he saw the huge frame of a big tench coming through the water, he knew he was attached to something rather special.
At 11lb 7oz, it’s a new PB for Andy, and the next day he added others of 9lb 12oz and 9lb 11oz. What a session!
