TENCH Fishing using handcrafted (BeeMouse fishing) LIFT FLOATS

[@Feederfish74]

James I thank you for the donation to the barbel masters. I am part of the committee that will be running it this year. Great fishing on a super mixed fishery. Lovely care and video. Tight lines.

Hi Gary, really pleased you enjoyed the video and you’re welcome for the floats. Just happy to be a small part of a brilliant competition.

[@albionangling]

Thanks for the kind feedback on the video Gary. Currently working near Southwell, crossed the Trent a couple of times today, never fails to strike fear into me, such a beast of a river!! All the best, Joel

@@albionangling do not fear it. It changes every time I fish it. Think simple. And you will not fail.

[@Feederfish74]

@@JamesOJ9643 I hope that myself and the team delivering produce an enjoyable weekend for all. I am a multi species angler but got to love those barbel.

[@albionangling]

@Feederfish74 had a walk down Gunthorpe Lock on my lunch break today, that looked incredible! Just can't get over the scale of it.

Lovely video guys, nice seeing people catching average size fish that we all can find. Also love the handmade floats, you’ve inspired an old codger.

[@albionangling]

We just love being out catching fish mate 😀. Always great catching a big'un but its not the be all and end all! We have to balance our work/business/parenting responsibilities too, so no point in getting hung up on having to catch specimens, enjoy the free time when you can 🎣

[@lenraby5920]

@@albionangling Fishing is more than catching specimens it’s about friendship, being there and just enjoying the world for a few hours. I’m 100% with you juggling everything and maybe grabbing a few hours is the best most of us can manage, keep up the work lads I subbed and I’m looking forward to seeing where you take us.

[@albionangling]

@lenraby5920 really appreciate it mate! We've got a few videos being edited at the minute: learning how to pike fish properly, multi species challenge and wild rainbow trout on Derbyshire Wye. Thanks for the support.

[@richardbarrett4104]

What a wonderful video, and such a change from all the Biggest is the best type. The way you fished the lift is 100% spot on. just enough weight, just.

[@albionangling]

Thanks mate! We are currently working on the second episode of this Tench On Lift Float series. We've not struggled to find the tench on the commercials but what we are still chasing is the coveted wild water tench, Crabtree style. We are going all out on wild waters, raking swims and tracking them down. Its a slow burner this one!

[@themagicoffishing]

Fantastic fishing, lads - nice video 🎣

[@albionangling]

Thanks mate, much appreciated 😀 We are working on the second installment as we speak, we've had plenty of tench from the commercials but we are aiming for a tench from a more wild water to finish it off, its proving a challenge! Can't get through the bream, we are well over 150lb of bream between us now 🙈

[@jamiehambrecht2952]

Great video Joel!! Awesome learning new methods! You’ll have to teach me!

[@albionangling]

Cheers brother ❤️ Was great fun learning how to finely tune the lift rig. Its been deadly on my secret crucian pond this week, been using a BMF porcupine quill float, so so sensitive ! Had close to 10 crucians in under an hour this afternoon 😀 Can't wait for you and Luther to visit again when rivers open, Luther can catch me that PB Dace from Ribble 😉

[@fishingtailfilms]

Very nice video 👍lift method is a lovely way to target Tench

[@albionangling]

Thanks mate 😀 Its unlikely i'll do much now until next spring with rivers being open! Tight lines and thanks again for the feedback. Cheers, Joel

[@fishingtailfilms]

@@albionangling I agree Joel, rivers for me as well. Let’s hope we get regular spells of rain to keep the flows going and keep the oxygen levels up. Tight Lines

[@underwaterfishvideos9]

great video mate! tench are so cool

[@albionangling]

Thanks 😀 Just been watching some of your Tench footage, dreamy stuff! Dropped you a sub for more Tinca content ❤️. Thanks again for the kind feedback, it really is appreciated. All the best, Joel

[@soultrader57fishingandmusi25]

Well worth the wait! Super video Joel! It obviously pays to have a little Tinca🤣 My tench sessions have so far been dominated by bream, not even the sniff of a Tench. Is the venue a club water? Looks good. I especially liked the music, seemed familiar somehow? Meet up again soon!

[@albionangling]

Cheers Dave! Again, thanks for the music, hope the video did it justice 😀 They are little beauties are those little Tinca floats, super sensitive and even managed to hold tight on a super windy session we had in early spring. When's the Soul Trader Float range coming on the scene? 😉 All the best, Joel

[@chrispage1888]

nice tench that

[@albionangling]

Thanks Chris, we are still filming our sequel video. Heading out this evening to try snag a Tinca!

[@jorvikangler]

Beutiful floats but given my ability to break them I think they'd be left sat on a display shelf. I'm surprised that rig worked as a lift rig evening the distance between the weight and the hook. I've only used it with 2-4" between the shot and the hook.

[@albionangling]

Funnily enough, we were talking yesterday about the floats potentially being used as display pieces. Always prefer to see them being used on the water where they belong! Its a good point you make mate, we often tweaked the lengths of line between the terminal float stop and hook depending on what we were dealing with, the big bream were picking the baits up with such confidence that the longer hooklengths weren't an issue. You're right though, I did make mine shorter when I was picking up some of the smaller, more finicky Roach. The beauty of the rig is that the float stops easily slide up and down, so fine tweaking is a matter of seconds without damaging the line 😀 All the best, Joel

[@jorvikangler]

@@albionangling I have some display floats. They have been damaged on one side so I display the good side. I can't have been paying proper attention when the rig was described, but having watched again I see the hook length isn't attached to the swivel along with the shot as I thought.

[@albionangling]

@Jorvik Angler we did start by using the standard fixed hooklength attached to small swivel but then we found a Drennan video with Martin Bowler explaining his lift rig which only uses float stops on the mainline and the swivel acts as a free running weight (with inch or two of line with shot attached). As soon as we tried it, we never went back!

[@jorvikangler]

@@albionangling It looks like a really good rig TBH. I'll have to give it a go in a local puddle.
