My first tench fishing session of 2024

[@Micks.barbelfishing.adventures]

Great bit of fishing you had, bud. The backdrop looks amazing this time of year with all the vibrant greens. 🎣🎣👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Cheers Mick, apart from the traffic in the background the scenery is lovely. Even got to watch a sparrow hawk hunting 👌

[@StewartBloor]

A surprise mention, wasn’t expecting that 🎣

[@BlackCountryPiker]

I was too shy to say hello as I walked past with Lee, sorry. Knowing how well you know the water I was intrigued as to what you caught. I believe there was a chap your end on the waggler that was up to 8 fish by 12ish

[@StewartBloor]

Ah, you should have done. Next time 👍 I only just caught Lee when he was past me. There’s been multiple catches when they move in but very slow times as well. If you stay there a while then inevitably you hit a few 🎣

[@briandurkin586]

Enjoyed that steve. Really need to have a go for the tench.

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thanks Brian, we’ll have to meet up and Chris 👍

[@leedavies339]

Hello mate, I have just moved into the Kidderminster area and was wondering what are the best club to join for fishing The canals and rivers in the area I’m a predator angler and love walking to find the fish I’m a member of BAA and was told that’s all I need but just a bit of advice on that matter would be great thank you

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Hiya, most of the canal around kiddy is BAA and we have loads of river bank too. However, there is also KDAA “Kidderminster District Angling Association”. They have some river bank from above Bewdley down to Blackstone. And a pool just out of kiddy and near stone. Obviously you’ll also need your rod licences 👍

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Nice one Matt, sounds good to me 👍

[@timothywilletts]

Back of Himley house pub, caught my first tench and carp from there in 1982

[@BlackCountryPiker]

It seems to be a venue for many over the years. It’s just a shame the Crucian Carp are no more

[@stephengibbins3958]

Great video love himley, only fished it once this year, usually on waggler line by now, but I hear not showing yet as still very clear. Can you still use groundbait in the feeder

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Thank you, their rules still say no groundbait but I think that’s more aimed at spod or balling out groundbait

[@baldvale5418]
