A picture of a tench and a Apollo Taperflash boy,you could get one for 20 quid,how good is that

[delboy]

Got the bbq ready the other week and started getting me particles sorted for the tench fishing........................and then the weather changed back to normal,water temps still at 44f,so might not be to long................p****d of with the piking,Been 3 or 4 times a week since sep/oct had about 30 doubles to 15lb which I am quite happy about ,not used a treble with I am really happy about,Back in the day if you heard of a 30 your ears pricked up,10years ago if you heard of a 20 your ears pricked up ,now if you hear of a 17 or 18 lber you get excited,(Remember I am talking about normal fishing,not on the ressies)

Back in the day if you heard of a 30 your ears pricked up,10years ago if you heard of a 20 your ears pricked up ,now if you hear of a 17 or 18 lber you get excited,(Remember I am talking about normal fishing,not on the ressies)

I always said southerners had it easy.

Back in the day up here you're ears would prick up at a 15 pounder and twenties were a dream.

Nowadays a 20 is on the cards and it's a thirty which makes your ears prick up.

It really was grim up north!

I bet you put eight pound tench back without a photograph too.

[Fentiger01]

I'm currently thinking about having an early season trip to the Fens for a spot of Tench fishing with my little lad.

The Ball n Chain wouldn't let me take him last year because he was only 7.

I used to get bottles of wormz, liquid worms extract.

It stank to high heaven and if I was knocking groundbait up on a Sunday morning after a heavy session on a Saturday, I'd be baulking my guts inside out, it did seem to pull the bream and tench in though!

Never seen it for years????

[Fish on....]

I need some worms so will order some of the liquids too and report back.

Like the idea of the castor liquid in a bag full of castors

[Jason Skilton]

Ferment a bucket of hemp, maggot, corn and caster for 24hr......nice !

Better still, forget about it for a fortnight.

[Esoxuk]

It was my first day tenching this year, a cool easterly wind seemed to put them down and I had a day of contemplation instead.
Still it gave me chance to get my act together and iron out my rusty methods and casting abilities.
I remember the old liquid worm mix that was available and it stunk, also it was a bugger to get off your clothes and hands afterwards... but still its probably worth a try.

I found some in a bucket from June last year when I was getting myself organised yesterday. Might just throw the whole bucket away

Been there. Done that!

[Fish on....]

This might sound a silly question, but a kilo of denbrobena worms; is that an awful lot of worms?? trying to work out how much I need to buy

[Jason Skilton]

Yup thats 40% worms the rest is soil

[Fish on....]

Cheers, I’ll stick with a kilo for now and see how long they last.

Less than a week till my first trip to Bawburgh now, hugely excited!

[Fish on....]

Hitting my marker proved challenging first thing this morning

Nice misty morning, any tench ?

Nope, saw a few around me but they didn’t fancy my baits! Turned cold this morning. Next time!

Was a beautiful place to blank though

[Milvuss]

Frosts overnight in the midlands - local Carpers unhappy ...

[Jason Skilton]

Will be out again on Sunday.....I think I need to feed alot less......

[Fish on....]

I won’t be out again until after Easter Sunday. Good luck Jason, think a softly softly approach is the way with this cooler weather. Maybe even just single bookies or bags at showing fish. Let us know how it goes

[suffolk si]

First session for me on syndicate today in six degrees and easterly wind, boilie on one rod corn on another and tried different natural baits on third, not a sniff all day! Won’t be going back until that wind changes!

[Fish on....]

That wind is bitter! Not a lot of good for fishing, or sitting outside
