[@joshua.mulholland]

Bro's in serious nick! Nevermind the fish hahahaha

Great video, very informative and packed full of fish, the Mirror was an absolute stunner too. I know this was a year ago but, what was your Rod / Reel set up ??? Looked very nice and well balanced 👌 you only mentioned 10LB line. Would be interested to know 🤔 if you remember 🤔. Were they Drennan rods ?? To be honest I only ever had one Drennan rod, I had it for a long long time too, it was a Cygnus Carbon uptide rod, it was an absolute beauty to fish with and landed many many fish including cod 20LB + back in the day. Again great watch, thanks in advance for info if you can help 🙏. Cheers mate Les.

Piękne ryby.

[@joshtate555]

Id be interested to know how your tactics change from what youre using now as you move into summer time?

[@gavincorbett1272]

Some nice tench on show but they looked bang average next to that chaps guns 😂 ....what catapult was he using to get those groundbait balls out?

[@simonashton7032]

I use the original whopper dropper Gavin , I’ve tried all brands and models for the last 25 years and this one is by far the best In my opinion…… I bought my first to use in Ireland in the 90’s . The key is to keep the balls the size of a snooker ball and you can hit 60-70 yards no problem 😉

[@GeraldBoyes]

Does the bar run all the way down to the bottom corner (not the marina end the other end)

[@amieflyfish2577]

Brilliant editing/filming , you look amazing but do you have a permit for those guns 💪🏻 😂

[@simonashton7032]

😂 💪🏿

[@DrennanTackleTV]

All guns in the video are fully licensed 😂

[@iansmith6599]

[@hannagoransson1006]

Simon,what reels are you using?

[@simonashton7032]

Shimano loncast medium pits

[@connorcgs]

Brilliant video now these specimen series. Just out of curiosity what was the TC of the rods?😁

[@simonashton7032]

2lb buddy , the mk 1 distance tench and bream rods

[@connorcgs]

@@simonashton7032 heavier then I thought tbh!

[@simonashton7032]

@@connorcgs they’re just the job for lobbing out heavy feeders at range and controlling big fish

[@connorcgs]

@@simonashton7032 ah I see, I currently have the drennan specialist 1lb dual tip, will this be to light for fishing for specimen sized tench?

[@simonashton7032]

I’d step them up to at least 1.75 if it’s big tench your targeting.

[@peterriches6446]

Tench far less impressive than the gun show / tan
