Hi Duncan great video. Was that Enton lake?

Hey Duncan I've just joined GAS and have found your videos so helpful. Do you remember on this session if you fished down the margins or far out? Thank you!

Great content...would love to see some more perch videos with livebaits 👍

Hi how do you hair rig worms cheers Jason 😊

Still wears his hat sideways ha ha, always enjoy his vids

Always enjoy ya vids cheers.

that is a NOPE bug. Also known as don't touch it because it will probably irritate your skin or worse !

Great video Duncan. Could I ask what hookbait you were using? Think you said pellet paste. What size of paste did you use and do you mold it around the hook? Thank you!

I don't understand why the swinger indicator is set up differently to carp fishing? Does it offer less resistence than a light bobbin? Can I use my bobbin indicators in front of the reel as for carp, and put the line in the rod line clip? Also, is the bait just bottom lip hooked? Thanks.

Not promoting your sponsor? You’ve got to be joking. NASHNASHNASHNASHNASH!

Nice one Duncan as always

Morning duncan Just moved to surrey from the midlands and using your videos as a kind of guide to local waters ( have joined farnham angling also) my passion are tench and big roach/rudd so will be putting some time in at frensham shortly...... but i have to ask where is this pit ?? 🙏

Anyone know where this is?

Great video, the tail on that 5lb Tench at 20 mins was amazing. Hope to see you soon Duncan.

Thanks, Duncan. Reinforcement of your help last year at the Tenchfishers. Only a 7lb 8oz largest of four this year. Tight lines. Richard

\been fishing a large pit for Tench, One of the guys has been having luck on maggots in a feeder, But as much as Iv`e tried I can`t get one. They`ve been fizzing around the bait but not taking the hook, Which is a maggot kebab on a 10. Praps I should use worm. I have been using hemp and hali ground bait as well. You thoughts ? Great vid by the way.

Hemp.......Your fickle friend.

Hello Duncan, great advice and yes, all the time the bait is always a chance, I do love a big water, lovely Tench, these fish are just class, great job.

Another quality video Duncan and some clonking Tincas. I hope Chris was upwind of you though after you ate that Chilli knowing your tendency to blow a good southwesterly or two!

Great video as always Duncan! I’m currently putting all my time into a small gravel pit. Worm kebab for whatever reason just doesn’t work, but switching to bunch of red maggots/T-rig works brilliantly. All the Tench I’m having average 5-6lb - however all the carp lads are pulling Tench in between 7-9lb on boilies… have you ever faced something similar?

Could it be eels biting through the hooklinks with the worm kebabs? I've had absolutely screaming runs from eels recently so I've been switching to wire twig rigs whilst its dark and back to fluoro from first light. I'd hate to think I could be deep hooking eels and potentiality killing them

Great video Duncan. Very interesting tip about use of hemp and their pre-occupation on it. Thanks.

Great vid Duncan, very entertaining and informative, one of your best I reckon and that's saying something.

You almost nailed it there Duncan. A tiny bit more emphasis on the hours and sometimes days spent looking for fish, the size (and low stock) of the venues and the extent of the weed would have added to the realism. I've just done 7 days on a pit it berkshire (a 10 hr return trip) 5 of those days were spent looking for fish, and I caught my first fish yesterday! Yes there are easier options for fish that might just scrape double figures (linear etc.) but for me the emphasis is on achievement. Those large southern gravel pits are something else.

Bait boats not for me. Too clinical. I find it pretty sad to honest.

Pretty bunch of great tench there Duncan. Great tips aswel. Thnx

10.1 would do me. Well done guys.

Excellent once again Duncan.

When you fish this are you fishing off the bottom still ?

Always some sound advice in your videos. Keep it up.

Wow, this is helpful. Thnx Duncan

Much thanks, been trying to get my head around this for ages how to do this properly, thanks again legend.

Very humble admitting he was wrong we’ve all been there,easy to stick to what you know,and not adapt to different waters and conditions.always good to learn

Nice one Duncan, Are you actually casting or fishing off the rod top, like you would on a pole? Very well done mate.

lovely video, haven't been for years, but used to fish Test and Itchen regularly - my PB grayling, dace, roach, sea trout and brown trout all came from the test, which says so much about the quality of the fishing

Hi buddy how are you keeping 👍🏻🎣🐟 great to you back on the bank and having a great laugh cracking video 🐟🎣👍🏻me and my son are off to Stillwater for the weekend any tips like front or back lake he’s after carp or some pb tench and bream thanks

For how long is it ok to keep them out of the water..? It seemed like ages, whilst you were talking at the end. 🤔

Best rods fox have ever done, superb.

Very nice! Which country is this? Well I’m go to tell a true story here in the USA, Colorado to be exact. Grass Carp. We used small Marshmallows that floated with a floating bobber. Anyways this true story was when I was about 17 or 18yrs of age. (I’m now 47) It was a power plant lake. Every cast with a bass spinner lure was a large mouth bass monster! The cast would not even touch the water yet and the bass would jump and take it out of the sky! Every large mouth bass we caught there was no smaller than 18” and as big as 30” for a large mouth bass. You can fit 2 adult size fist in that large mouth bass, that was crazy!! I want to say it was definitely a record and we was too young and dumb to claim such trophy status. Well we started to see large dorsal fins out about 50 yards out. From the dorsal fin to the back of the tail had to been at least 4ft to 5ft long. Well that is when my cousin said let’s catch it. So we saw the big fishes eat cotton balls that float across the lake cause the wind blew them off the trees into lake. The cousin said I got marshmallows! So we rigged up a #2 hook with bobber on a 10ib braided line. We cast it out there and within 1min we got one! It was like a thunder in the lake splashing. We fight this grass carp for over 10min until it tired. We got it close to the shore and this thing was monstrous! We all looked at each other and said…😅 You go get! Lmao! No one wanted to because of the size of this fish! It’s eye 👁️ balls was about the size of a cows eyes. Its girth was 40inches round and we measured it to be 4ft 11inches. This thing weighed 56ib on our scale which was maxed. Well the 2nd one we couldn’t bring in and this fishes was even bigger!!! Every time we got it 10ft from shore, it would jet splash back into deep waters. That went on for 30min and we meaning the 4 of us was taking turns trying to reel in this monster with 10ib braided. Well the only glimpse of this monster was his head, dorsal fin and tail at 10ft out in the water was at least 6ft and over 100lb the because it was a tank! It finally bent our hook and that my friend was the MONSTER that got away, till this day I wish I can still have it back! 😭😭😭 Grass Carp are no joke when they get that big and it was GODZILLA because of the power plant! Yikes!!! I just wanted to leave a true story here for everyone.

Love the videos, helped loads with my first year tench fishing I’ve used a worm kebab for tench twice and twice been bitten off by a pike 😂 back to maggots and casters for me!

Absolutely superb banter!🤣 thanks guys, great video👍

Can’t help but think after all this time have you thought what you’re wading in Duncan 🤔be careful please

Using old school swing tip please and a soft rod great service thanks for the uploads you have kept me going

Great video. Won't the stop rubbers slip when playing the bream? Surely the pressure would be enough for the hooklength to slide down to the feeder? Not sure if that would be a problem, but Im very surprised if the stop rubbers have enough grip to hold position when playing a fish. Thanks

Great video guys, I do like a good old slab, enjoyed this with my coffee, get rid of that cold mate

Love the banter between you two,

Hi Duncan, what is the optimum hook length on the helicopter rig and how far above the feeder should the rig sit, also would there be any advantage to tie an eyed hook with a knotless knot rather than a spade end hook? Keep up the good work

Absolutely brilliant video from Duncan, great sidekick in Colin.

Nice video and seemed like a good laugh was had between you.

Very funny and very enjoyable. Perhaps another challenge should be on the cards and then a "Shit Angler" trophy could be awarded to the loser!
