[Tench]

Hi. Jenny, It was a long time ago, about late 70 s when those big rat things were about. We saw several in the martham area also the men who were catching them, they had dead ones strung up a pole. however back to tench, 4 seasons ago while at the new inn ( horning ) an angler in a rowing boat opposite us cau ght  a really good one he estimated well over 6lb. a couple of years before that at dilham dyke a local angler showed us his catch it contained 6 tench amongs other fish. Now i know horning and tench dont go together but i saw it as plain as day. Sorry if you think i am getting boring now. i,m just getting excited about being there again on the 16th june, Forgot the name of those animals think it began with M.

i,ll shut up now  Cheers

whatever decides to take my single red maggot, i cant do serious fishing when on holiday. the other half doesnt understand my passion. Out of interest in those 60years of broads boating, the little grub has caught me Roach to 1lb 14oz Perch to  2lb 12oz bream to 7lb 8oz and Pike of 15lb 4oz which grabbed an incoming roach at the 24hour moorings in wroxham and refused to let go. I realise that is nothing special for over 60 years but it was good at the time, Happy Days

FORGOT THE SEVERAL TENCH TO 5LB INTHE ONLY YEAR I CAUGHT THEM AT MARTHAM, NOT BEEN UNDER BRIDGE AT P/H FOR YEARS

Right, TC, so what will you be fishing for come the 16th? It'll be roach & pike for me although I expect the odd bream might muscle in, maybe even a nuisance carp, we get a few on the Southern Broads.

[Introduction]

Hi, I would like to say thanks to those that welcomed me to the forum, hello to those that havn,t. I appreciate the nice comments i got from most it,s a shame about the couple of idiot remarks i got, i like a bit of fun, but being plain stupid is for those much younger than i, i,ll be 75  in a few days but still fit and always glad of a laugh. On SWAN ROAMER the 16th June that,ll make it my  60th year of broads cruising, so for now i wish you all happy sailing.
