There is something really spiritual about early morning Tench fishing using the Lift method, with the mist rolling over the water. A couple of great Tench and a wonderful Video Mark.🎣🎣👌
I could watch a new video of yours everyday. The content and presentation is so good. One of the best channels I watch on various subjects I subscribe to.
Great boy and girl Tinca's there, Mark. What a lovely little lake to fish, at dawn with the dawn chorus birds singing, how fantastic! You look a lot slimmer than you used to, it is really showing
I’ve had that rod about 4 yrs now absolutely love it. I’ve had big carp on it whilst tench and perch fishing. If you’ve seen Matt Hayes vid where he had to catch two twenties in 24 hrs, he caught a 37.6Lb carp off the top on that rod. Anyway another great vid mark and well done.
Always love Yr vids mark you put all into it the joys the disappointments and always at the most crabtree like venues, looking slimmer too, brilliant 👌
Hey mark great vid as always... lift method tenching with my youngs mrk 2 centrepin is my (and my son's) favourite fishing... I generally use mussels or lob worm's on my float set up or triple fake caster or single fake corn to a size 6 mugga hook on my ledger or bag work. Happy fishing and tight lines.
My favourite method of all time, I use a Darent Valley 12oz with my Pin. Must be me but less tackle means more fun I guess it pulls us back to being kids strapping our one rod along our bike frames and heading off full hope.
Great vid and Tincas mate really enjoyed it.I also have that rod and love it,big tench and carp at close range ,also around tight spots with a lot of overgrowth this rod is the biz.
Mark , takes me back to the old days mate, tench fishing the gully. You know me i luv using the pin . Ye dont see many using em these days , semi fixed leads etc lol.Keep em comming all the best David. ps moved back up to the midlands what a relief .
@@francolinobasco Hi Mark, Sawley ,Long Eaton. We have moved back up to look after my Mum, who has the onset of dementia , its hard work , as you well know.i havent been on line much so i dont know how your Dad is , i hope he is ok .Please excuse my ignorance. Anyway hope you are all ok mate, all the best David .
PS if we ever meet up i will show you how to Wallis cast a lead its very easy and not as hard as people say .Its very accurate too in close range swims.
@@davidhaddon2854 Sorry to hear this David horrible disease truly nasty :(. My fathers dementia is worse and our last phone call was full of abuse towards myself and mum and we cannot visit him because yet again his care home now has covid..
Some beautiful tench there mark. There used to be an absolute bucket load of tench in my local lake years ago up to double figures. Then all of a sudden some of them were getting caught with red spots on them. People don't even catch any nowadays. Think it might have been a disease but we never saw any bellied up. Strange.
That is interesting Neil... Hmm i wonder if it is a parasite or related to qater quality or some form of stress related condition, but they seem in good health.
Hi Mark. I'm currently on a carp syndicate lake that's very weedy. Its full of nice tench that nobody fishes for. Im going to give them a go on the lift method. The water is very shallow. 3 to 5 feet and very clear. What line and breaking strain would you recommend? Thanks Sean
Love it. How much of the groundbait did you end up using? I always worry about overfeeding a spot on a lake when im fishing short sessions like this one.
Good question! Right so although you see me with that tub of groundbait I certainly do not pile it in as if there is one thing i have found with tench over the years is that doing so can be the kiss of death as they then become preoccupied too much, so what I tend to do is feed some small golf ball balls in and taper it to match the bites then with what is left over at the end of the trip will either be taken home or used to prep.
@@EricPollarrd Quite simply put low stock density of carp. I have another lake i fish for tench and have only been smashed up once by a carp once again due to the lower stock populace of carp so the simple equation is if i am fishing for tench on a water that has a higher populace of tench than it does carp then chances of connecting with a carp will always be a lot lower. Most of the waters I choose to fish are lower stocked ones in general.
@@EricPollarrd Where i have had my doubles and larger tench getting one or two tench every so many trips is considered good, so much so the rest of the club members flock elsewhere, but that suits me lol.

Got to agree with you there 👍
Agreed John it a special time of day and full of atmosphere and optimism
Epic, you can't beat a session like that, real coarse fishing demonstrated by a real expert. Thanks Mark.
Cheers mate! Part 2 due soon.
Very nice, Cracking Tench and lovely surroundings 👍
Cheers Chalk!

Wow, thank you! That is so nice of you Rich.
Thank you kindly Xfire!
Brilliant mate👍
Thank you! Cheers Charlie!
Hi Mark. I hope your lay off is helping. Enjoy your fishing, we cannot wait for your return. ❤️
Another excellent video Mark. Already looking forward to the next one!
Thank you Alan part 2 is due very soon!

Glad you enjoyed it Baz, it is a serene location and thank you I have lost a fair bit of weight but need to shift some more timber.
Another cracking video and as always easy to watch. Pin and lift method is always satisfying and usually my go to method for tench.
Absolutely agree with you
Cracking video mark, tinca's on the lift and pin, first light, magical, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Cheers Craig i hope you are feeling a bit better and heading out to the forest and woods a bit.
Ahhhhhh that birdsong in the early hours. Wonderful. Sadly, a sound that's becoming rarer especially in the towns. Nice fishing mark.
Sadly that is true along with too much light pollution :(
Well done Mark 👏
It's good to here u swear Mark, we're all human
Cheers mate and I agree sometimes good to vent when losing a fish lol!
Superb, as ever Mark. Thank you.
Very welcome
My favourite fishing channel - wonderful stuff
Cheers John the cheques in the post lol!

Love watching a float. Mine, yours doesn't matter. Thanks for the video:)
Lmao! My float :(
Quality as usual Mark,don't worry,the words F%@# and B*€€?x were invented for those times when you lose a nice fish 😁
🤭 Yes I ended up forgetting and saying rollocks too lol.

How you finding the dv rod ? Is that the 11ft ? Am looking at the myself but unsure if to get 12ft float or the 11ft specialist
Great vid and Tincas mate really enjoyed it.I also have that rod and love it,big tench and carp at close range ,also around tight spots with a lot of overgrowth this rod is the biz.
Thanks James it is a superb little rod and have to say has not let me down one bit.
Mark , takes me back to the old days mate, tench fishing the gully. You know me i luv using the pin . Ye dont see many using em these days , semi fixed leads etc lol.Keep em comming all the best David. ps moved back up to the midlands what a relief .
You can't beat the pin for purity and an almost perfect connective feeling when fishing mate. Where in the midlands have you moved to?

great video i do a lot of beach fishing now but use to love a glow stick on calm evenings catch tench on bread flake
Cheers, it is the simplicity and that air of what might happen.
Nice keep them coming mark that second tench defo been getting jiggy with it lol . Rudd always show up when u dont want them and not when u do lol
Haha i reckon so David :D and yes its like go chub fishing catch barbel go barbel fishing catch chub..go perch fishing catch pike lol
@@francolinobasco
😂 so true but a bite or catch is better than none
@@david-ci2qq Always!
Mark , buddy, how are you? Great video as always. Tell us more about the float, and the beta light on it, home made or did you buy it?
The float is just a straight waggler which i removed the top from and put a little chemical light in.
Nice tench Mark and what better way to catch them!
Totally agree Mike!
Good , honest solid angling as always Mark , well done fella ...
Start them Tinca catching tutorial/coaching sessions spring 2022 mate .
Steve M
That is not a bad idea haha. I keep considering doing a raffle for some guided trips actually.
@@francolinobasco if you ever do decide to just holla mate , I'm sure your angling diary would be booked in no time .
Sounds like ur in Sarawak bud!
haha :D
I am looking for a rod for centerpin will be fishing largely stillwaters . Do you think a 12ft rod is a must in the majority ?
Never mind the bollocks!
haha I know! I simply forgot what swear word i had used and used another lol

Is there no carp in that pond sir?
There are carp Terry.
@@francolinobasco how comes u never catch them when tench fishing ? They can’t be separated by any method or bait at all
