Despite a cold north easterly wind, Robert Brooker managed to land six tench from a local gravel pit during a day session.

He located an area of clean gravel at 50 yards with a marker rod and baited the area with a mixture of hemp, pellets and dead maggots.

He chose to use 45g Feederbombs helicopter style on his Specialist Distance Tench & Bream rods to cut through the strong cross wind and keep his feeders landing on the same spot.
