Tench Advice

Found a little pond i never knew existed tother day and saw some good tench (up to about 5lb) rolling.
Any advice on rigs/bait/feeding habbits/etc would be helpfull as Ive never specifically targeted them.

Cheers Folks, Chumley.

pm mate

Why the PM?

Is your tench advice that good??....

i wish andy asked him a couple of questions first mate

Cheers for the help Nick. I had 3 this morning at 3, 4 and 6lb on sweetcorn and a bonus common at about 2lb

A 6lb Tench is a nice fish, mate.

Cheers mate, Ive only ever had small ones to about 2lb. Didnt half give my elastic a workout. They went straight for the sunken trees every time and were a real pain in the to keep out.

Will deffo be going back in the near future.

They are lethargic bottom huggers until they feel a hook, then they fight! They are like a stillwater Barbel

I used to love fishing for them. My second favourite fish after old toothy
Had many a night fishing for them, on a float in an old disused canal near here. Sweetcorn as bait, no great size but usually between 1-3lb. They always make straight for the nearest weedbed & can't half scrap!
