Fishing at Linear fisheries

Before lock down I had a few hours down at the local pond having fishing in the margins stalking for carp, and was very suprised when the tench appeared. I was fishing on my 10ft shakespear Onmi pellet waggler rod with 6lb 0.18 Guru mainline with a 4" hooklength with a size 16 Animal hook with a small bait band. I was fishing with single corn and Reb Robin pellets.
The first hour was really quite which was nice, Just to sit and relax and get a feel for what the next move would be if nothing happened. 🤔 my mind would not stop as I sat there say shall I or shan't I..... don't you just love it when your mind is running at 100 miles a hour
I was thinking, what depth shall I fish, what float should I change to, or do I fish a small method feeder with the method mix I brought with me. The temptation is always there to change my set-up after 10 minutes of fishing just becuase I'm not feeling confident enough on my current presentation.
Before I even made a choice that hour resulted in the little tench ( selfy photos apologise for the poor fishing handling ) 😅
The other 2 carp even tho it look identical and the same fish is not. Both carp was caught of double corn and the tench on alittle corn skin.
So the brother has been fishing at Hallcroft fishery again and he has not failed the anglers dream by catching some nice carp on this session. The largest catch was 19lb ( apparently - always telling him his scales are broken) nothing like brotherly support.
