This fishing was organized by a member of the AnglerNet Website - www.anglersnet.co.uk/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi which I am a member of. Also met another member of the LPAA - MrMatthew also fishing there. Wingham is the most beautiful place I have ever fished. And it was my first time fishing there. Fishing is not easy but in my case very hard indeed. Me and my fishing partner Budgie we had some classic laughs and chill out for the long weekend as well. My tactical approach was going to target the tench and the bream. Using a worms and sweetcorn cocktail on the two of the rods and the third rod with a hair rig sweetcorn. Me and Budgie starting fishing at 6pm and the very first minutes, I was getting some blips from my old optonics on the hair rig sweetcorn as Steve Burke(the organizer of this fish-in) was talking to Budgie about the fishing at Wingham. Throughout the night I was constantly getting blip from the sounder box and my vibrating pillow pad (which Budgie converted part of the sounderbox because of my deafness) Unfortulatly the fishing was very hard as at 1.40am had a belting run on the hair rig sweetcorn and was into a good fish but the main line was snap I would reckon a good tench maybe around 7 -8lb at that point I was completely gutted. Also in the later early morning had a typical bream linebite. Budgie also had a nice Perch at 3lb 9ozs in the early sunday morning Budgie - what a great fish mate I can't wait for next year fish in at Wingham

Was a great lake, sadly I caught bugger all, which as far as I can make out was the story for a number of anglers better than me......... Was bothered a plenty by not one but three grasssnakes: (Not that I knew they were till afterwards!) Impressive venue, though not the kind of place for me I think, I took 2kgs of groundbait dribble fed over the whole weekend and was astounded to see the bloke in the next swim chuck in 10kg of Vitalin before he even started to fish... Still you live and learn!

That looks a great venue. And that's one hell of a Perch Budgie. On the right day I'm sure this water would produce many more, quality fish. Looks Brill.
