Chris and I had our 3rd visit of the year to Fennes Fisheries, Braintree yesterday. It was out best days fishing so far with a good bag of Bream with a few bonus Carp thrown in for good measure. Chris fished mainly with the pole and I used a long range feeder method together with a float set up just on the edge of some reeds about 15 feet out.
I tried some soft liquorice bait for the first time with the feeder. I used a number 8 barbless lassoo set up. The fish seemed to like the liquorice bait as I caught a couple of nice Bream and a F1 Carp. I fished sweetcorn on the float rod and caught steadily throughout the day. Mostly roach/bream hybrids, quite a few rudd, one large Crucian and some nice Bream.

Chris caught more fish than me as usual using the pole method and soft halibut flavoured expander pellets. He caught mostly Bream, roach/bream hybrids, roach, some nice carp and a bonus tench.

All in all a good days fishing. Next trip is scheduled in 2 weeks.
