Another informative video for people eellput together and love catching tench on the float rod

[@connorcgs]

Finally! Massive fan of tench fishing probably my favourite species. So happy you are doing other species on traditional methods instead of carp fishing all the time! You should do big specimen hunting of different species soon! Love the video!

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks Connor! I think there’s so much fun fishing to enjoy, and keeping it varied makes it a lot more fun personally! I’ll be hunting big perch soon probably :)

[@connorcgs]

@@fishingtutorials I couldn’t agree! I’ve watched you and your brother since the beginning and I loved it when you got on your bikes and went chub fishing down the river or feeder fishing and catching some colourful fish! I can’t wait to see the perch video, will it be on more traditional methods on commercials or?

Th cinematography of this is a pleasure. It adds to the mood of fishing. The dawn in early summers by the lake is special time. And tench fishing is my favourite in those times.

[@freddieharle4322]

Great video as always Carl! Gotta be the best course species tench. Nothing beats seeing some bubbles in your swim. Really love the way these videos are presented, would of been such a useful guide when if these were around when I started fishing. Keep up the great work mate!

It’s a fun and effective way of fishing for sure! :)

[@CB-xr1eg]

Feeder fishing can be good but there's so much more to fishing than just that. Float fishing requires more patience and finesse, maybe even more skill? But it's very relaxing.

[@Ratkas007]

Everything about your videos are exceptional. From the camera work to presentation to the choice of music, everything fits and feels exceptionally well. I really do enjoy your videos because of these qualities. Nothing feels overdone. Congratulations and all the best! Cheers mate - from South Africa

Omg... everything you do is so perfect man! How calmly you talk,how detailed you show rigs,explain what you do and Chery on top of the cake is those little moments you film nature ...

I wish we could fish together one day and you could teach me more about how to do it properly. Do you do one on one daily training sessions? I am from West Yorkshire

Hi Carl, great video! One question - any recommendation for weight of mainline and rig for tench in a lake with tench, silvers AND up to 30lb carp? I hear about 8-10lb recommended with 4lb leader but wondering what’s a responsible option incase I hook a sizeable carp unintentionally. Thanks for the great tips! You make angling possible for those of us with nobody to teach us on the banks

[@fishingtutorials]

Hello mate, for tench I'd go with 6lb if there's no weeds or snags, 10lb if there is. for carp I'd use 12/15lb - Korda carp line is very reliable, and means you don't need a leader :)

My tench fishing is on a canal, admittedly they don't grow much more then 5lb, but I use a pole. Mainly for accuracy, as very weedy.

What beautiful lake Carl. What is it called. Tench fishing is the best early mornings raking the bottom,

[@alanlinthwaite2670]

Not complaining, but as a tutorial video aimed at newbies perhaps, it would have been nice to point out on the Heli rig that it is important not to have the hook link to close to the feeder so as not to cause tangles, other than that great vid

[@lewisdavies2149]

Hey carl, I love fishing for carp and I think they are wonderful looking fish. They are always exciting to hook into, but. I am wanting to go for bigger ones mainly in the double digits because whenever I go fishing for them I will get a 7 pounder if I'm lucky. The problem is, my tackle isn't strong enough to go for the bigger ones so I was hoping you could maybe recommend some fishing gear and rods I could get to seek the big carp. Thank you

[@CB-xr1eg]

I wouldn't complain about regularly catching 7lb carp. Why do people always think they have to catch the massive ones?

[@ethan.butler3681]

I live in Ireland and the canals near me are full of tench like on a good day you'd easily catch up to 10 big enough tench

[@Evrsa]

A good top 10 carp reel video for starters would be good!

Hey Carl - looks like you get to the venue already rigged up - how do you stop getting tangled up transporting your rods?? Keep up the good work mate, all the very best (from Adelaide, South Australia)

[@CB-xr1eg]

I don't know if you tried it, but if I kept catching the baby tench, I would switch to sweetcorn. The bigger ones would be more likely to go for it.

Question …… mono or florocarbon ? Braid or coated not allowed So which of above is best ? The two large ponds I fish are a uniform 2 to 2 1/2 foot deep , no weed just a few old leaves & coloured

Its a beautiful little lake Carl, can you say where it is ?

[@timotejm]

Great video mate! What typ of feeder rods did you use? I am thinking abaut selling my carp rod and buying feeder rod (i mostly fish rivers and farm ponds so carp rod is over kill) was thinking abaut 9ft 1-30g A-class from guru. What would you recomendations? Thanks!

[@fishingtutorials]

Yeah they're decent! That would be perfect for small rivers and ponds!

[@punana4]

Another awesome video, i fish similar style butbwith smaller size 12 drennan specialist hook i find it gets more bites . 4lb biggest so far

Yes, smaller hooks will get more bites! However sometimes you want something a bit bigger if the fish are big or fighting hard near weeds!

How does feeder fishing for chub and roach on rivers and streams (slow mooring ) work ?

[@loujundong]

Nice video Carl. I have a qeustion for the community. I noticed, when I was using the guru speedbead on my lightfeeder set-up. That my hooklink breaks/snaps a lot faster, compared to loop to loop connection. Am I the only one, or do some of you guys/girls also have this problem? I use a nylon hook link around 4 to 6 pounds.

I haven’t found this happen to me. But I haven’t often fished loop to loop feeder rigs.

Are they more spooky on large hooks or small. I use 18 with as many maggots I can fit on. And a six inch hook length.

Small hooks tend to be best, however on this session I think I used a 10 or 12 as there's a fair few pads and I didn't want to lose the fish in them!
