Quill & Pin.....An Evening Tench Session

 Hi all,

I' ve been getting out a bit for a change!!!!

Working in Yorkshire I have been exploring a few local ponds and lakes.

I do like a nice early season tench so armed with a Youngs B.J. Pin and a custom made Harrison SU Waggler Rod from Andew Boyne I had a couple of hours on a local lake.

It was a slow start tonight, surprising as the weather as much warmer then the prevous session.

Bream were the first to show. I had seven or eight of these before a small mirror put a bend in my rod. 

After an hour I had a big lift bite off a small tench which is what I was after.



Not the biggest but put a nice bend in the rod.

A short time afterwards another, even smaller one graced my landing net.


I had a few more larger carp and bream,  called it a day when I couldn't see my float.



All in all a good night with plenty of bites and fish.


PS: I dont usually like comecials but this one is very nice.


TTFN

Lathe Made Pike Bobber - First Effort. . . .😊

Image
This is the first float to come off my new mini lathe. Its an old style " Pike Bobber Float " for live and dead baiting. It is a steep learning curve but, at last, I feel I have something to show all of you. 😊 Cork bodied (turned by myself ) with a birch stem. Jay feather inlay with two  satelliting jungle cock feathers. Fluorescent pink paint and a brass eye. This is how it looked fresh off the lathe . . . . As I said its a steep learning curve for me: 1) Using a lathe.  2) Working with cork. Both had their challenges but a feel I have come out of the other side with a pretty good effort. With a little more practise I feel I can get this pattern looking a much better. This is how it looks now. What do you think ? 😊 Any constructive criticism is always welcome. Until the next time . . .   TTFN . . . . Peanut. If you would like to look at all of the hand crafted floats I make p...
