THANKS to everyone who has watched my tench fishing videos and given them the thumbs up and given me some great comments. If there is anything you would like me to cover in upcoming videos then please just let me know in the comments and I will do my best!
This spring and now into the new season most of my success has been on mussels,bought from the freezer department in the local supermarket. Mussels have accounted fir well over 50+ Tench caught on feeder and float targeting two different waters.
In terms of meat, (I havent fished properly for years) i used to always keep a jar of paprika handy, and made paprika meat for every session, the tench went nuts for it!
Interesting films paul. One thing I have a different opinion on is that casters are loads easier to keep on the bank for several days than maggots ESPECIALLY RED MAGGOTS. You know my background Paul and you know my bait experience. You will no doubt have noticed that red maggots tend to be slightly smaller than other colours. They also have less tolerance for heat and tend to die quicker than other colours in hot weather. Get any maggots wet (if it rains) and they are often buggered. The point about loads of maize is correct but casters are still easier to keep on the bank with no refrigerator. Try simply putting them in a black bin liner (or smaller doggy bag), squeezing all the air out then tying up and putting inside another black bag. With no light or air penetration the casters will remain the same colour for weeks. They will start to smell after a few days but this is easily resolved by just washing them. You can also store them in a sealed polystyrene box and if this is kept in the cool (under your bedchair) the casters won't even start to smell for a good 5-7 days.
Great vid Paul. One venue here in Ireland I'd a bumper haul of tench. All on chickpea dyed red on the bank, hair rigged with fake corn, they wouldn't touch anything else that day.
Hi Derek, that’s really interesting. Believe it or not, I was thinking of doing a video on carp fishing with chickpeas as they are such a great cheap bait. They really have been forgotten about, but the fish don’t know that 😉
thanks Roy, very much appreciated. Mussels, yes I've used them in the dim and distant past too, talking about them, I've also caught well on cockles and giant krill too.
Really good video, do you work for Nash,? wild tench that never seen corn will eat it, I found this on wild water same for wild carp, and I found the same with pop ups, no one putting boilie in but they still love a pop up,
@@fightingfisherman9690 I'm not sure why Paul didn't answer your question about Nash, but he is involved with the company. Do at least try to be a bit more open in your reply Paul.
@@drpaulgarner i have been very fortunate over the years to have had some great fishing experience watching your video as brought back lots of memories for me and i thank you
Helo paul i am now joining a big 100 acre gravel pit in new season .which is mainly open water few wooded areas . my question is do tench actively look four sodium like the carp.in baiting situtions thanks
Hi there, yep all freshwater fish need some sodium (because it tends to be lost primarily from the gills, and is an essential nutrient. The opposite applies in saltwater (one of the reasons not many fish live in both fresh and salt). There is quite a lot of salt in many baits already though, often just though ingredients such as fishmeal's. Tight lines ! Paul

i know it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?
@Connor Uriel Flixportal xD
@Leonel Dangelo Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Connor Uriel Happy to help :D

Prawns can be good too 😊
This better work for me Sunday mate, because I won’t be a happy chappy

Just a tip re flavouring maggots. A few drops on a couple of cotton wool balls. Just pop them into the bait box the night before. 👍
Thanks Chris, nice tip.

tinned kitten food, mixed with brown ground bait and used as hook bait. Great for Tench.
Well done Paul cracking video again mate i used to use muscles for tench going back to my child hood days 👍
thanks Roy, very much appreciated. Mussels, yes I've used them in the dim and distant past too, talking about them, I've also caught well on cockles and giant krill too.
Great video. Off on my first dedicated tench only session tomorrow. Sure this video will help me a lot thanks 👍
Chopped worm n caster! One a best combo going!
Definitely Gaz.
Could I use it without the caster becuase I can't get a hold of any
Great vid as always, nice and informative 👍🏻 loving the regular content, my favourite tench angler along with Mr gribble. Tight lines 🎣
J R thanks mate, loads of plans for more films, hopefully some underwater bream filming next week - watch this space!
Great video Paul - I'll hopefully be starting my Tench campaign in the coming weeks and look forward to trying the popped up maggot rig.
Amazing bloke, so much knowledge. Thank you for sharing
Thanks mate brilliant love tench.
Well done Paul another great video! Really intrigued by the chod style rig you use, I’ll be looking at that more in my own fishing!
Jed Shevlin thanks Jed, much appreciated.
Another brilliant video Paul and great production too. 👍
Paul Scowen thanks Paul, trying to get a little more polished with each one. 👍
nice one mate, some good advice there and well presented, thanks
Brian Silver cheers Brian, glad you liked it, trying a few different styles, enjoyed putting this one together.
Really great video very informative 👏🏻thank you
Another very interesting vid Paul,thanks!
Mark Hepworth thanks Mark, glad you liked it.
Excellent insight and some great tips.
Wayne Nippard thanks Wayne, much appreciated. Tight lines! Paul
I caught two tench today in 2 hrs using 6 maggots and a size 12 hook with 12lb line
I am from Poland and I am wondering how do you avoid taking bait (ex. maggots) by little fish. Do You even have little fish in GB? :)
Very informative video. Do you pick up more Carp and bream on your tactics?
Thanks mate. To be honest, I pick up very few. The odd big bream, but very few carp in the scheme of things. Best wishes, Paul
Great video paul...could you demonstrate the set ups on the rigs as I've just started fishing for tench ie worm kebab cheers mate 😊
Really enjoyed this video
Matthew Wooldridge thanks Matthew, I really appreciate it 👍👍
Really good video, do you work for Nash,? wild tench that never seen corn will eat it, I found this on wild water same for wild carp, and I found the same with pop ups, no one putting boilie in but they still love a pop up,
Fighting Fisherman thanks, glad you like the videos. 👍
Paul Garner Fishing keep up the great content 👊
Fighting Fisherman will try mate. I’m enjoying your channel too, keep up the good work!

@@mickymouse677 thanks thought was abit weird. If work for company at least be honest.
Hello Paul, what do you think of Nash Scopex Squid for tench fishing?Thank you for your answer;Jean marie France
great channel and great products !
Kenny Hempson thanks Kenny.
great video lots of information
Thanks John.

Meat is a great bait but you can't trust it on the alarms, small silvers can easily whittle it away in a couple of minutes without moving the feeder
TjDolHaus86 true mate, worth trying peperami if that happens as it’s much tougher.
@@drpaulgarner ahh yeah nice one, the thought never crossed my mind
Great video thank you
Love Tench but haven't caught any this year 😭
SheppeyFishTales hope you have a chance to get out after some. 🤞🏻
@@drpaulgarner Me too! :-)
Good job mate
Prawns? They seem to work really well and produce violent takes . . . .
great video. what coated braid hooklink would you use for the tench?
many thanks again paul.
Thanks Damian, I don't use a lot of coated braids for tench to be honest, but I hear good things about the Gardner coated braids. Best wishes, Paul
Ive noticed big tench like boilies haha
Chickpeas are brilliant
👍
my freedom 👍
Where are you fishing
Because u don't fish in a tench only lake like this guy ripoff his set will cost you 100$
🙄 what does that even mean ? 😂
