This Wild Canal Has Some Big Surprises! First of the Year!

[@thebadradio5340]

Nailed it at 2:15 , nice session too, buddy!

[@Tass...]

The red dots on the 1st Tench is marks that they get from being damaged whilst breeding during the spawning season. They are a minor thing that clears up pretty quickly. Great video, thanks.

[@DrWhosmate]

Do you have a source for that? I have never seen this before in over 30 years of fishing, I plugged the symptoms into ChatGPT and it had this to say: "Tench with red spots could be an indication of a bacterial infection called "red pest". This disease is caused by the Aeromonas salmonicida bacteria and is commonly seen in fish populations in freshwater canals. The red spots are actually areas of internal bleeding and are a result of damage to the fish's blood vessels caused by the bacteria. The infection can be fatal if left untreated, so it is important to monitor fish populations and take appropriate action if red pest is suspected." ChatGPT being ChatGPT, I asked if there was any other cause: "While red spots on tench can be a sign of the parasite Trichodina, there can be other causes as well. Some of the other possible causes of red spots on tench in freshwater canals include bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infections, or even physical injuries." You say this is due to damage, how does that manifest? I would expect a couple of bigger areas of damage rather than hundreds of tiny spots? No? Cheers.

Probably chicken pox

Love fishing for tench something special about them. Enjoying the chanel. Thanks.

[@ejayman]

I’m so jealous of your canals! 99% of every stretch where I am is just concrete/timber siding with barely any features :(

[@alexleighton6552]

Mine are just highways for barges. Can’t go for 10 minutes without one sailing through

[@foylad4862]

Chop a tree down and make a swim 😂 there's always fish to be found though. Fish on a wide bend somewhere on your canal, using bread on the bottom. Try different spots until you find a few good ones 👍 GL

[@Catonkey1]

honestly mate thats what its like near me, but most of the fish I catch are in the middle of no where, maybe by the odd tree. Nothing like these YT videos portray. I think I've caught one fish by a lock/bridge in the last 7 months.

[@dibdabdub64]

Theres only 2 canals in Ireland. And both very over fished. Lots of fish like small rudd/roach /perch. Watching ginger years an always amazed the quality of the canals. From my experience here the big rivers/lakes hold the larger fish.

[@Lunatix246]

The canal near me is pretty much dead, aside from pike and roach. It used to be full of perch and carp with a few tench and bream. Years ago I even caught a couple of either sea trout or salmon parr in it.

[@petercalthorpe7966]

G'day Chris, two beautys never caught a Tench . The Bream was a beauty as well👍🏼. Love the drone shots , oh and a nice bum crack🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. All the best form down under mate. 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tinker5349]

Hi Chris, Tench are also my favourite species to fish for. You have a fantastic canal there, look forward to the next episode. Trevor

Great canal session and some nice tench… had me laughing that you had to blur out your arse 🤣🤣🤣

[@Seany596]

You definitely had "great crack" at 2:16! 😂🇮🇪

[@TheJaymon1962]

This is cool. I went to Wikipedia to find out about tench because i had never heard of them. They have a huge range. All the way to Lake Baikal. That's a long way from Tennessee. Thanks! Beautiful fish!

[@Deekm69]

I live in Scotland so dont see that type of fishing, great video, im loving your editing, it just gets better every time

[@hughjarse2909]

Try the Forth and Clyde canal .There is a coarse fishing venue in Cumbernauld and another in Livingstone.🐟😎

You have great places for fishing. I wish we had such places in Latvia. Tench are beautiful fish and very tasty.

[@MrTench8]

I love these fish, i used to travel a long way to catch tench on a canal and was rewarded with 2 just over 8lb and 1 that got away!

[@grantwhite2543]

Canal fishing for tench. Nothing better. Hope you do some more like this.

[@simonparry3823]

Brilliant my favourite fishing

[@needham831]

It's that time of year again Chris!☺ Great to see you targeting the Tench. I'm suprised you didn't drop some mashed bread into the first swim to see how the Tench reacted. You could have had it as your Plan B and gone back there for the last hour. Hopefully I will be in amongst the Tench on Sunday, fishing on a new lake that I've never fished before but have heard some stories of the resident Tincas.☺

bumpy bream looks amazing

Not exactly over endowed with canals here in Sussex but I had 10/12 Tench plus a few Crucians and Rudd on a club water last week. Always amazes me that I'm usually the only one there until about 10 o'clock!!!! They've missed the best part of the day.

10 o clock? It must be dark by then. Does your club water allow night fishing?

Fantastic tench - beautiful fish. One question; why hair rig the corn? I see the need for a hard bait like a pellet but trying to understand with this. Thanks and keep ‘em coming!

[@CB-xr1eg]

He's using a size 14 hook so maybe thinks the fish could be hook shy. Probably better presented on a hair rig anyway.

@@CB-xr1eg fair enough - I don’t do them that often to be quick or good. Haven’t really had an issue with corn and a 14 but who knows, could do better - will give it a go!
