Love how only a necessary amount of bait is being used unlike other videos ive see on youtube, where they get as much free bait as they want and put an absolute tonne of bait in for 1 session,which is just unnecessary and very expensive for people who actually have to buy their bait. Aswell, i love how simple the rig is compared to those showcased by companies trying to make you buy extra products that may slightly help with catching fish but essentially doesn't make any significant difference. Cracking film great to watch 👍
Just back from a very cold session on Colney, one fish but not pleasant! Good to see these great fish and a really well-made video. Well done Phil - outstanding.
Hi Leon, They are my favourite feeder for tench fishing, combined with the short fluorocarbon hook length they are really effective 👌 Good luck with your fishing, Phil,
Great video Phil 👏 so miss Tench fishing now I live in Australia. There are a few places though where they have been introduced, so still get to see them.
What a nice fishing it must have been...! 😎 Thank you for the video, it is really inspiring! 👍Tench is one of my favorite species (besides roach, rudd & perch), sadly in my country (Hungary) nowadays you can hardly find any of these beauties in our natural waters! 😟 Excuse me, which exact Advanta Twin Tip rod model did you use on this fishing trip? Is it the 1,25 lbs or the longer version, with 2,25 lbs strength?
Glad you enjoyed the Tench video 😊 Phil was using Advanta twin tip rods in 1.75lb tc. The rods have been slightly up-graded since we filmed this. Check out the Advanta Barbel rods with the 1.75lb, they are similar and perfect for BIG tench 👌 www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advanta-barbel-twin-tip-fishing-rod?
do you ever get the opportunity to get over to do any fishing in ireland phil.................the pike fishing over here is great and it would be great if you could do a video from ireland ...........lakes / rivers are gin clear...always welcome love your videos on you tube..
Just been out for a tench session Phil and had 35 fish over 2 nights. I'm hoping to bring my young lad out soon and would love if you could put out a bream video when the time suits.
Great Video Phil!! Absolutely Awesome Tench Fishing, I would like to see some Pike Fishing next and the rigs use for it. As I am a Bream & Tench Fisherman as soon as the first frost hits the ground I turn to Predator Fishing Perch, Pike and The Zander. I am based in The Forest of Dean and I have the glorious River Wye which I work on as a Canoe, Kayak Paddle Board hire provider, the River Severn and the Gloucester Canal is where is Zander. As you know the Pike & Perch are everywhere in between. Thanks Phil!! 🙂👍🏻
Great video, I’ve been out for tench a few times this year blanked every single time, but to be fair the weather hasn’t really helped me much, would like to see you target some barbel
Hi Kim, glad you like the videos 😊, I think I can honestly say Mullet are the most frustrating and difficult fish I’ve targeted…..but I do like a challenge 😂😉
Might have to dust off the tench kit, not been In years would make a nice break from the carp from time to time . Great video Phil thanks for re-lightning the fire.
Hi Phil, great video, I usually use a float and centre pin to catch tench but would love to have a go at some gravel pit fish, I'm curious to know, how much bait do you get though in a session? Thanks.
Great vid Phil hoping to get back on bawburgh this year and gonna target the tench and bream did ok with carp up to 30lb years ago but fancy a change,that looks like the point on bawburgh lake?
Hi Carl, Good luck with your fishing, im sure you will manage some decent fish on Bawburgh. Im not entirely sure on the swim, but this was certainly filmed on Bawburgh lake. Regards Steve.
This video was filmed a few years ago now. I was using the Advanta RVS twin tip rods.

Hello Paul, yep they are the new Advanta RVS twin tips in 1.75lb tc. It’s the first time I’ve used them and was very happy with them. I was using 12lb mainline as the lakes can be very weedy at Bawburgh and there are some very big tench too.

Phil Spinks comes over as a very calm, competent fisherman and the video represents what fishing should be. I really enjoy his videos.
You really succeeded in capturing the magic of fishing for tench. Well done!

Had to come back to this video for some inspiration for my last tench session on colney tomorrow.
Hopefully the video helped? Colney can be cruel at times 😄

Thank you Ken, hopefully the weather will improve for your next session 🤞
Have to love Early morning Tench Fishing… great video guys
You can't beat an early misty tench morning. 👏
Those maggot feeders are good for everything in my opinion Phil using them well here

They are my favourite feeder for tench fishing, combined with the short fluorocarbon hook length they are really effective 👌
Good luck with your fishing,
Phil,
Great video, Phil. Credit to you and your camera man
I know when June 16th arrives it's time to dig out the old Terry Eustace Big Tench rods and get a few before catfishing starts!
Great video Phil. Still waiting for the warm weather!
Thank you Roresepic, I'm glad you liked the video. Hopefully it will warm up soon.
Thanks for the uploads you have kept me going must go fishing need to use my swing tip rods old school no one on TH-cam doe's it same thanks

Hi Kim, Phil targeted grayling last winter for his Specimen Series.

Do you use hair rig or you set the maggot on the hook?
Hooking the maggots straight on the hook has always worked fine for me.

Great video, I’ve been out for tench a few times this year blanked every single time, but to be fair the weather hasn’t really helped me much, would like to see you target some barbel
Keep at it Dan, I'm sure you'll catch a few once the weather warms up. Barbel fishing on the specimen series could be fun 💪
Thanks 👍
How about having a go for some mullet Phil? Tricky at the best of times! Love the videos keep em coming mate!👏👏👏
Hi Kim, glad you like the videos 😊, I think I can honestly say Mullet are the most frustrating and difficult fish I’ve targeted…..but I do like a challenge 😂😉

Cheers Phil, could you perhaps do a Big Perch hunting video?
Your welcome Greg, a nice big perch in it's winter colours would look great on film 🤞
Love Perch fishing with a worm or a prawn in the margins
Tench are one of my favourite species but I would love to see big bream in your speci series.

Nice video phil. Do you ever use helirig?
I see ken bingham has commented. Is that THE Ken Bingham from the tenchfishers back in the day???
Hi Chris, yes I do use the heli-rig sometimes. I find it a good choice when casting further and fishing over silt or light weed 👌.

There are three large gravel pits on the complex and four smaller pits.
