Today I spent the afternoon on a local pond which is known to have Tench to about 8lb and Crucians.
I was fishing a Banjo feeder on a lightweight Drennan Competition Feeder Rod with a 6mm Pineapple Ooozer as hookbait.
No Tench showed up but I did manage to land a solitary Mirror Carp - all 22lb of it!!
The question is this - I was fishing with 4lb mainline and the rig was free running - is this irresponsible or would others fish just as light (bearing in mind that according to local knowledge all the big carp had been netted and removed years ago.)
