Bad luck but you can't win 'em all as they say. What a pity that that lake is under threat, its got some lovely fish in hasn't it?

A great setup, can you reuse those weights by putting them back on their wire. That's one advantage of shot, I always take mine off to use again next time. Another good one.

Just found this. You're very fortunate to have access to such a lovely lake. I love fishing with my old tackle, all purchased in the 1950s. I have a Spanish reed/ split cane match rod, a heavy Avon rod that's all split cane and another that's has a cane first section with split cane tops. Have also got a MkIV carp along with 3 Rapidex reels and another with no maker's name on. They're all beautiful pieces of kit and are just as good now as when I first got them 70 years ago.

This is such a lovely way of fishing, thank you for your video realy inspired to give the pin a go! What test curve is your rod?

Great fishing and fish in difficult conditions. My scales don't use batteries, much better!

Lovely film about proper Fishing on a non artificial water, well done catching that lovely carp. I regularly use my cane rods and reels that I bought in the 1950s. They were always very expensive though even when new, I paid £5 for my roach/match rod in 1958 when I was earning just £3/2/6 (£3•12) per week!

Alex do you take any form of light shelter for the rain ? Trying to get some options . Even thinking of poncho tarp set up .

Nice video, nice tench

So don’t get the carp fascination, ugly fat things if you ask me, brilliant video all the same!! Tight lines

Lovely.

Another great vid

Alex, no hair on the float rig, what are your thoughts on it, please? I see you do use it with the bolt rig however!

Mate, what bad luck and such good angling right up to the end.

It just shows how good your float rig can be, as the line does not spook the fish. It seems a line lying across the bottom does, however. I float fish all the time now for big carp but understand sometimes you have to adapt to the fish themselves. Love you stuff mate.

Come back to the light Alex, stay away from the dark side, bolt rigs will only darken your soul! 😎😊😊

Alex, was it maggots direct on the size 12 hook? Nice video and fish.😎

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.

Hey bud, seen you fishing a bit recently great capture!

Really enjoyed this video, thank you :)

Do you find sweetcorn is a killer bait that big carp rarely refuse? You seem to fish it directly with no hair, correct?

I do like bream, I think half the fun is the preparation, and you can relax, and feel the thump as you latch into a lump.

The moods of fishing, lovely light, this was perfect to enjoy after a hard days work, loveld it, love Perch, wow clonker, tight lines.

Hey Alex have you got some duck tape for the geese lol, tight lines, and thank you for sharing with us.

Wonderful video, love the trees, bend in the rod, magic time, loved this, doctor fish lol yep heard that one too, brilliant.

I didn't think you could fish in May??

I love how your videos capture the beauty of classic english waters and the magical essence of what makes this kind of angling so alluring and unique. Isaac Walton would be proud.

Idyllic peaceful spot with beautiful fish... fantastic sound in this video too. Lovely.

How many nowadays appreciate the bend and feel and look of that rod? Kin stunning! The 30 million Mitchel 300's sold who taught anglers how to back wind when playing a fish. Choice would have been nice but. Respectfully yours the old fart.

Got my sub - lovely video 🎣

Know how you feel lol

I do miss my bottle top indicators, lovely video

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❤

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 😅

What beautifull to hear when you are high as a kite

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.

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.

So relaxed and informative, love this centre pin method, thank you.

Most enjoyable.

Another great video, I watch them all! Fab camera work. I like your style. Thanks for uploading! Tight lines Alex!

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.

Lovely tench 🫡

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. 🤣

Classic tactics on classic tactics are so satisfying to see and enjoy. Thanks. How was breakfast after that session?

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 👍🐟🎣

I always enjoy watching your fishing sessions. I was very surprised that you didn't have any carp on the line this time 🙂

What rod and reel combination were you using please?

A great little film and a cracking fish!

Brillian video, my sort of fishing. You see people in their bivvies playing video games, three rods cast as far as they can. Everybody to their own, but this is way more exciting.

Great video, that's my sort of fishing. I haven't the same rods and reels, but the sheer excitement of spotting, then catching close in is intoxicating. Also watched some of your other videos. One of you slipping down a bank. A few months ago I too slipped over, but unfortunately for me it was on the Wye, I was on my back,then watched in horror as a Barbel pulled in my favourite reel and new Barbel rod in a flooded river. But I carried on to catch a pb Barbel. Once again very good videos.

Great video, just getting into this more traditional tackle based fishing, yearning for my youth again when life was relaxed and tranquil I guess. Searching now for a nice Mk4 Walker to go with my JW Youngs Pin. It all started last year when I started to transition from my modern method feeder and ended up using a quill float on the lift method on a commercial, it was so much fun transporting me back to the 70s. Your videos have been an inspiration and I’m enjoying my fishing more than ever, cheers.
