Yeh its more than likely around 2lb, to be honest, I just fish for whatever I can get.
Although, I do love the Tench in the pond, theres a few Golden Tench, which I've caught before, but unfortunalty, back then I never had a camera


My normal way of tenching, is to fill a mediem sized feeder, start off with some form of paste, fill either maggots, drop of smelly liquid... (like the carp stuff) more paste to keep maggots in.

Few casts to get the bait on the floor, then swap to a smaller feeder just to top up the swim.

I catch tench all day long then!

I am mainly a sea angler these days altho done alot of carp fishing late 80's to mid 90's, packed it in when people who never been fishing in their lives started carp fishing so they could get P****D and stoned with the lads.
Managed to catch a uk best of 36.5lb, holland best 33lb and france best 47.9lb.
Mostly fish on boats and had some really good pollock this winter to 22lb and a cod of 26lb.

we had a really good day at blassfords hill. we got there about 8am, it was really windy and cloudy, the carp was caught by Belinda which weighed 4lb 12oz and the rudd a really nice size, i even had to land it lol.

i had 5 carp of similar size, 3 of them on the pole before the pole actually broke, not by the fish though. i switched to the waggler rod and had 2 more carp, a nice size tench similar to dogs one. caught that on luncheon meat.

whilst we were fishing i looked down by my feet and saw a grass snake pass and enter the lake, was quite scary lol.

some real nice fish guys. my sons 14 and totally fishing mad! so I like it as well as a fisher of old, I like lake fishing couse it relaxing he likes river fishing which means waders on a spinners out and loads of work, but you can catch some nice Grayling and brown trout or rainbow trout Here.

[Grimmy@JHE]

thought id bring this back up.
im off to france a week today!
fishing a really nice lake which doesnt get fished much at all. its 100 acres and half of it doesnt get fished for 8 months out of the year because of the shooting season. we have managed to get on this side of the lake as i think it will be awsome. got two swims on a 50 meter by 10 meter island.
bought about 80kg of bait
i cant wait. its going to be brilliant.

and for those who say sitting behind alarms isnt fun, iv done every sort of fishing going from sea trout to conger in devon, zander to cats and there is just something about carp fishing that allways brings you back. dont knock it till you have tryed it.

[minidan]

that sounds like a proper good trip. i'd love to go to france carp fishing myself someday.

i hope you catch a whopper!
