David Lee Masterclass Day Tunnel Barn Farm

brilliant catch Dave
This was a special 60th birthday present from Dave’s wife Anita and his family. The fantastic Tunnel Barn Farm, Shrewley in Warickshire was the chosen venue.
Dave with his first fish
It was a cold clear morning, only about 3 C. So I thought it might be a difficult day. I could not have been so wrong – it’s such a brilliant venue that within 10 minutes Dave was slipping his net under his 1st F1. Bait was some well soaked 2mm hard feed carp pellets with a 4mm Van den Eynde elite expander on the hook.
it was nonstop action
As it was so cold some caution was needed on feeding so 2 lines were selected one in the margins and the other in the deep water at about 7 mts, cupping in just a few pellets on each line and then topping up with about 12 pellets with a small pot on the pole. After the first 30 minutes the action was nonstop with a fish almost every put in.
a 1lb F1 in perfect condition
The cold wind finally drove us from the bank at about 4 pm, Dave having had a brilliant day catching close to 50lbs of fish, a great catch in adverse conditions.
