neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 He looks in great fettle so I'll guess around 16 lbs. Were you pre-baiting for tench or bream ? Hoping to pre-bait a good swim for bream on a local river either this week or next week myself. Let us know how you got on. Quote Link to post

Arry 21,788 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'll go on the higher side and say 18lb + . I thought there was a formula for length so I found this on the net. http://www.in-fisherman.com/pike-muskie/northern-pike/pike-length-to-weight-conversion-chart/ Well done any way. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post

She was in brilliant nick and put up some scrap This evening should be perfect for tench on a canal. No sun and after the rain a bit of colour. Good luck. Quote Link to post

Let us know how you got on. hi neil only got to fish for about 2 hours this evening had 1 decent tench about 3pound and a dozen or or more roach and skimmers. There was a few tench about so hopefully I can keep the swim going till I get a good session at them, hard to get time with work and building a house tho Quote Link to post
