Thanks Wayne.

I hope it works for you, best of luck.

Glad to help, best of luck to you both.

Thank you very much.

My pleasure, thanks for letting us know about your great catch. Best of luck.

Thank you and best of luck.

To be honest, I avoided the Roach more by luck than judgement.

Obviously I've been using judgment, ha ha ha, I get fed up with tiny roach with eyes bigger than their bellies. I've caught one tench in 9 months. I like tench, they look fantastic.

Give prawns a go, whole or halved. Fish close to weed beds in the day, quietly try the margins on a summers evening. Loose feed with just six half prawns every half hour or so. If Carp move in to the swim they may bully the Tench away.

Cheers, I'll try that, a guy on my local lake was fishing with prawns last week, he gave a couple he also gave me some rubbers and a stretcher for them, he'd caught one tench but then I had a phone call and had to go home, I'll try that as soon as the sun shows it's face again. On the float and is it ok to use anything other than a waggler, I get in too much of a mess with them and I've tried everything?

I don't use a bait band with prawns, I just put them on a size 10 or 8 hook. If you don't fancy a float then ledger with a simple running rig and a light bomb perhaps.

What a water, sounds very interesting, best of luck.

thanks 😊

Why do you have to cast 30 yards minimum do the fish hold in only certain areas that are that far out?

Loose hanging with a cage feeder.

Give the Yucatan knot a go, please test and make sure it suits your purpose before you rely on it. Good luck.

thank you i will try the knot

I wanted to use a small amount of feed and guarantee it would be close to the hook, but there is nothing to stop you throwing the feed if you like, best of luck.

Thank you I am really hoping for some tench and please keep up the great videos

Hi - groundbait can sometimes be hard to judge with Tench...if it breaks up too quickly and particles rise to the surface then the Tench move from your hook bait to take from higher up.....that's a problem the deeper the swim - if you're only a few feet down then it'll be fine if not make your groundbait stick around for longer by adding more water and chopped worm - this'll keep them interested for longer!

Quantum commercial heating Make sure you use your line clip for more accurate casting. Use 2 bank sticks at a meter or 2 apart to measure any back up rods. Try using a target float if your casting at distance so you have some thing to aim at. I used to go to the bank and practice casting to the same stop until my aim & casting improved alot. The line clip is a must when you're fishing a tight area especially at longer distances. Practise makes prefect. Remember when using your line clip to make it a little bit shorter when you've clipped up as a full feeder will have more weight and will stretch your line and don't forget to take your hook length into account especially when fishing close to a far bank.

On that occasion, I was using 6lb mainline and a 4lb hook link. Best of luck.
