A Time For Tench
ฝัง

- No species of fish in the UK signals the onset of warmer weather than the tench. Stocky and hard fighting, with teddy bear eyes and a paintbrush tail, tinca tinca holds a special place in the hearts of many anglers.
As well as making occasional videos, I also write monthly articles for the Freshwater Informer, a free angling magazine available across the South East of England, as well as in digital form @ www.freshwaterinformer.com

What beautifull to hear when you are high as a kite
I always enjoy watching your fishing sessions. I was very surprised that you didn't have any carp on the line this time 🙂
Thanks Mike,
The carp were conspicuous by their absence, but I don't mind when the tench are feeding so well. 🎣🎣👍
Lovely tench 🫡
Idyllic peaceful spot with beautiful fish... fantastic sound in this video too. Lovely.
Thank you 👍🎣
So relaxed and informative, love this centre pin method, thank you.
What a great video Alex,
Your videos capture the true feeling of what angling is all about and the exciting thing about tench fishing is its visual,
when you see the bubbles fizzing infront of you, your excitement goes up a level theres nothing like it.
Thanks for sharing a woderful trip.
Thank you 👍 🎣
Wonderful video, love the trees, bend in the rod, magic time, loved this, doctor fish lol yep heard that one too, brilliant.
Thank you very much. It is a stunning venue 👍🎣
Really enjoyed this video, thank you :)
Thank you 👍🎣
Another great video, I watch them all! Fab camera work. I like your style. Thanks for uploading!
Tight lines Alex!
Thanks Mike,
I've just subbed to your channel as it appears that we're in a similar area of Sussex 👍🎣🎣
I had a go for tench last Sunday, fished the float, in 10ft of water, with the hookbait an inch over depth ( the whole tiny pond is that deep all round ) and I had them bubbling and fizzing over my ground bait and maggots and corn but I couldn’t buy a bite from them,I had not a single twitch on the waggler. 🤣
That sounds both frustrating and exhilarating in equal measure!
Although the lake I'm fishing is nowhere near that depth, I have faced similar challenges, which is why I tend to open up my baiting pattern in an attempt to keep the fish moving for better bite indication 👍🎣🎣

Yes that makes a lot of sense, and I was doing pretty much same really, plus the 10 ft depth helps as bait filters out the deeper it is, I was also hand throwing distance out which is another help in spreading too
Try 3 inch over depth.... ❤
Classic tactics on classic tactics are so satisfying to see and enjoy. Thanks.
How was breakfast after that session?
Thanks Steve,
Breakfast was all the better for a good morning's fishing 👍🎣🎣
It is quite funny as over the last 40 years I would imagine I have caught 100s of Tench and yet can probably count on one hand the baby very small Tench I have seen or caught. I mean I love all species and sadly yes over the last 20 years carp fishing took over my life in general and it still does now I have moved here to Germany, but I love all species and the Tench will certainly remain up there with the most special, a very unique and beautiful species. Great video, really enjoyed it.
It's funny you should say that about baby Tench, the place I fish has a lot, all the best to you, and yes it's a lovely video he has made from the heart ❤
Where I fish at times you're plagued with small 4 to 5 inch fish. I've literally caught hundreds at a time. Still can't get used to fishing lakes in the close season.
@@tonycamplin8607 Hello Toni, that is such a good point, are you float fishing, im going to try this weekend with a new plan...to catch a fish lol, al the best mate, one month to go then river time.
Fantastic fishing. Thats how it should be done! Due to personal reasons I haven't been for about a year. My local canal is showing some fine Tench (and Common Bream) at the moment but I think another couple of weeks and it'll drop away some. Thanks for 20 minutes of peace and quiet by the water seeing a good angler catching fine fish.
Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully you will be able to get back out on the bank soon 👍🎣
Hope you can get on the bank soon pal
Nice video Alex, they do scrap hard don’t they. Very relaxing watch. I am off tenchfishing tomorrow for hopefully another film for my channel. Tight Lines Russ 👍🐟🎣
Thanks Russ, good luck with your fishing and filming 👍🎣
Only just found your channle. Great stuff an well earned sub. Keep it up. Love a bit of tench fishing. Its not got so complicated like the carp fishing.
Thank you, I appreciate the sub👍🎣
I do miss my bottle top indicators, lovely video
Thank you. You can't beat a bottle top 👍🎣🎣
Interesting, in sweden they're called "sutare" but the historical nickname is "skomakare" meaning shoemaker, i have no idea why tho...
-they are lovely fish❤
It's strange where these nicknames/myths come from. Thanks for sharing 👍 🎣
@@InTheEdgeWithAlex i did some research on the subject, "sutor" means shoemaker in Latin, and apparently the sutare/tench have thick enough skin to make leather out off. So sutor turned in to sutare when meeting the swedish language I guess 🤔 😅
That location look absolutely perfect 🤌🏻 like one of those hard to find tranquil tench and crucian ponds. Must be somewhere down south. Haven’t found anything like this in north east 😅
It is a very special place, although sadly, like many venues in the southeast, under constant threat from developers 😕
Got my sub - lovely video 🎣
Thank you. Much appreciated and reciprocated 👍🎣
Hey bud, seen you fishing a bit recently great capture!
Thank you friend 👍🎣
Hey Alex have you got some duck tape for the geese lol, tight lines, and thank you for sharing with us.
😅 Not yet - they do enjoy making their presence known 😅
Most enjoyable.
I didn't think you could fish in May??
Hi,
The close season in the UK has not applied to stillwaters since 1995. It is still in place on rivers (15th Mar - 15th June). Obviously, it's never good practice to cast a line around spawning fish and most clubs, controlling bodies, and indeed anglers, will self impose a closed period on lakes and ponds around these times👍🎣🎣
