Shallow Fishing at Westlands Angling Tench Lake

After the tortuous spring canal campaign it was time to take a break and head to the East coast, of course I took the the rods and visited some fisheries, one of which was Westlands Angling at Sigglesthorne near Hornsea and Brandesburton.
On my initial visit I fished the Little Tench Lake which ironically is predominantly F1 fishing so I decided to return a couple of days later and fish the Tench Lake which was reported to house lots bream and a good head of tench.
I'd fished this complex a few times before but had never been on the Tench Lake and for a commercial fishery I found that it is quite deep . I decided to setup in a corner of the lake that I thought may be a natural habitat for the doctor fish and found approximately 9ft of depth on a short pole line. The plan therefore would be to go pole fishing for tench and bream and try to target them on the bottom but it quickly became apparent that the fish were going to dictate the methods used and with lots of fish showing on top I also setup a slapping rig and a mugging rig.
"Mugging Tench?" I hear you cry - "Don't talk daft!" Is this a new fishing technique ? - well I'll let you decide😉...Enjoy the video 🎣
