Ive noticed big tench like boilies haha

I used this method in 2004 albeit slightly different feeder back then. Red maggots with dead reds as hook bait. Fishing a 10 acre Essex mature gravel pit in late May I caught 4 Tench that morning,smallest 7lb 5ozs., biggest 10lb 10oz. Two others of 8lb 9oz and 8lb 5oz. Finishing off with a mirror carp of 18lb 8oz. In front of the feeder I made up a sinking leader of three feet from a section of an old lead core fly line anchoring the reel line to the bottom. I’ve used this rig on other gravel pits and reservoirs with equal success big Tench,just under doubles and continue to use it.

Best method of flavouring dry pellets ?

Will try the Kebab thing next time I go for tench, they are such a wonderfull fish to catch..😃 Normally I use corn, earthworm or maggots, but I mostly use corn because they do not attract eels, I do not want to catch eels they swallow the hooks crazy deep and are difficult to get out, without killing the fish, which I do not want to do, as they are protected and not a fish that is OK to catch..

How long can you keep them in a bucket for?

I'm new to tench fishing, this seems to be effective & simple, just like me so happy days. Thanks for posting 👍😎

Great. Thanks

nice video, thanks. greetings from north germany. i love feeder and methodfeeder ;)

You can't beat float fishing for carp, well done guys 👏

Interesting films paul. One thing I have a different opinion on is that casters are loads easier to keep on the bank for several days than maggots ESPECIALLY RED MAGGOTS. You know my background Paul and you know my bait experience. You will no doubt have noticed that red maggots tend to be slightly smaller than other colours. They also have less tolerance for heat and tend to die quicker than other colours in hot weather. Get any maggots wet (if it rains) and they are often buggered. The point about loads of maize is correct but casters are still easier to keep on the bank with no refrigerator. Try simply putting them in a black bin liner (or smaller doggy bag), squeezing all the air out then tying up and putting inside another black bag. With no light or air penetration the casters will remain the same colour for weeks. They will start to smell after a few days but this is easily resolved by just washing them. You can also store them in a sealed polystyrene box and if this is kept in the cool (under your bedchair) the casters won't even start to smell for a good 5-7 days.

Interesting video thanks!

👍🍻

Made some pellets today Paul turned out bang on. The best tutorial I've seen

Do the float or sinkers

is that a feeder hanging off that tree? lol

Great just what I needed to know and big 🙏🏽 thanks to you 👍🏽

Hello well explained video, where can you buy this nice zip hoodie with the westin logo in the hood? -I can't find it in the Westin range. greetings from Germany

I've even used a single quick stop on a hair rig using dendrobaena worms as bait for float fishing for Tench. Two worms doubled over and both cut in two to give me 4 pieces of lovely, juicy worms as bait. And some times, I'll even put a single or double red maggot on the hook too. And even though, due to ill health, I gave up fishing some 15+ years ago, I've still got the bug to go and watch loads of fishing videos 8-))... Though I never thought about using two quick stops! But my hairs are slightly longer to accommodate two worms ;-))...

Hi, Please can you forward a link for part 2. Cant find it?

This better work for me Sunday mate, because I won’t be a happy chappy

I haven’t fished there for 10 years since me and the owner had a fight. Apparently tiger nuts weren’t allowed. I explained there’s no scientific evidence that these are harmful to the stock. Once I proved him wrong to try save face, he head butted me. Let’s just say he got thrown in the margins and kicked in the face.. never have I witnessed such an unprofessional fishery owner. Regards, Tony Church

Hi Paul. Really like your vids. I tried your method for pellet paste for the first time. Unfortunately, the pellets were way too wet and soft. Any tips about how to get the right consistency? Cold water, hot water, grind the pellets, etc. How long did it take you to get the method right? Thanks.

Thanks mate brilliant love tench.

Very educational.

Do they act like the Nile Perch take air out of lakes & makes algae & dry them up any ruin the pants for fish eggs or whatever all they do , that makes them a threat in the wild creeks , & Lake around the world ?. These are the ones that grows up to 2 feet & one inch right ?. As the Pet store goldfish species grows up to 18 . 7 inches right on record , & then Koi being 4 feet long , says the internet right ?. Are they all dangerous to Creeks & Lakes of doing destruction like the Nile Perch of Africa ?.

Hi Paul, I really enjoy watching your videos, I find them very well done and very informative, I'm very interested in purchasing an underwater fish camera and would like if you could suggest a good middle of the range one please, thank you very much Paul and keep up those great videos 👍😁

Exellent video . Could you use a knotless knot to tie the hook on and snip the hair off? Regards John

I live in Worcester and I can't find anywhere decent near by....its a shame I used to catch loads as a kid and would love to fish for them by design

Great explanation Paul, thank you. What do you do if the water doesn’t allow fixed leads? Is there a particular safety clip you would recommend to attach the feeder?

Hello Paul, great video! Just tried to contact you via your form on the contact section of your website and it didn’t seem to work

Any more videos on the horizon, Paul? I Love your insight

Great video Paul I was also wondering what shads do you choose for fast and/or slow retrieves. Also you said about a gram per foot of water how do you stabilise your 16 cm shadteez with a 5 gram jighead if you do such a thing?

What happened to this channel it was really good shame really

Whats wrong with it these days as its been given up ?

Surprising that you favour the first rod for heavy lures. I would have thought that baitcaster setup would be better for that. I run two setups - 4-14g light (fixed spool/reel) spinning setup for perch (although it has caught me a lot of pike!) and a 15-50g medium/hard baitcasting setup for big pike. Out of the two, I much prefer using a baitcaster as its almost effortless to use once you dialled in the spool tension and the brakes not to mention the push button bail arm/spool release and the ability use your thumb to control where your lure drops so you can get pretty accurate casts. I'll eventually add a BFS baitcasting setup to my collection once they become more available/popular and the prices drop.

Very Nash darling! Only joking, great video!

I love how all crucians do that round in circles thing under the rod tip when they’re almost ready to net 😊

Alan Alda's brother is an angler. Geez.

Ive been ill and lost touch with Rigs , ur vids are brilliant simple and affordable thanks ,

Take comments off

That was really good and helpful I do.a lot of carp fishing so I am gonna look into i

It was really enjoyable watching this, but true, the actual information of get going is missing, the actual work required, how to ensure how to seal the bottom of the lake to prevent the water from leach or seep into the ground. Do you require a form of fresh water running into the lake to an extend etc etc....How did you construct the swims ? How did come to decide where is the best spots on the lake ?
