After battling the hectic traffic which comes with the M25 traffic and also the Dartford Crossing charges, James Crosby finally arrived at his chosen venue in Kent in search of Tench and was rewarded with this 11lb 8oz fish.
The Herftordshire angler was targeting a large gravel put where he fed groundbait, hemp and pellets on the back of a raised gravel area at 40 yards. Over the top, he fished maggot feeders and topped up with his spomb after each fish. Alongside the eleven-pounder, James added fish of 9lb 6oz, 9lb 5oz, 8lb 12oz and 8lb 8oz in what was a fantastic session.
Well done James!
