September Success

Tom Oliver enjoys a productive week at his syndicate!Unfortunately August was not a great month for my angling as I only managed to squeeze in one quick weekend trip to my syndicate and unfortunately that didn’t produce any fish. I was very much looking forward to the month of September however as I had the first week of the month booked off work and had a lengthy trip at my syndicate planned. I was hoping to spend some time in one area and build the swim over the course of the week as this tactic can often work extremely well on this venue. I also had some filming lined up with Gardner Tackle at the latter stage of the week so hopefully by then I would have something established enough to get a few bites for the cameras.
