More Tench anglers please!!!!!

[BoldBear]

The following have given me the most Tench over the seasons:

In order of preference:

1. Breadflake pinched from a fresh loaf
2. Large grains of soft sweetcorn.
3. Lively Redworms (Not lobworm or Brandlings)
4. Fresh Casters
5. Active-8 pellets dipped in Active-8 Bait dip (a favourite for the larger Tench on my local Estate lake when legered against the distant lilly pads )

I think breadflake is over looked by alot of 'new' anglers on many lakes which often means the tench go crazy when it's put infront of them...the old methods are still productive...;o))

I'll definitely give the flake a go, just need to fastforward the week a few days now.

Yes I agree with you.
The modern trend on our club waters seems to be using scaled down Carp rigs and Boilees for Tench and I love to see their faces when the more traditional thinking angler who has been fishing at first light or during the evening and using conventional baits nearly always seems to catch more Tincas.
I suspect that the modern trend of fishing for Carp, Carp and more Carp has something to do with it.

I love to fish for tench and just use the old lifting float method. They look great too with their teddybear eyes.

Roll on Spring, nice warm day's by the Lake, nice surroundings, and wild life
Love to catch tench, either Green or the beautiful Golden.

I usually start to get a couple of Tench in March if it is mild. so I am getting my Tench gear ready and keeping my fingers crossed for the temperatures to rise a little in March.

Bread flake over a carpet of Van den Eynde expo groundbait usually works for me.....

Count me in too, there's something about those teddy bear eyes.

I'm a rod and reel man myself, the lakes where I like to fish have a good variety of fish in them, Carp (Ghost, Common, Mirror, Hybrid), Tench, Roach, Bream, Barbel.
I've had some great day's fishing there since I retired Two years ago.
It had been 16 years since I last did any coarse fishing due the work I did, this is my second year, and I can't wait to get back at it again.
My brother also retired, and I have got him back into it as well, he also is looking forward to the new season, for some more great day's out.
Best Wishes
