Tench Fishing - Searching For a Large Tench (Video 256)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- You join me as I head back out hunting for a big tench. Having lost a nice Tench on my previous trip to this particular lake I was determined to get to grips with it. But would I be successful and would the short trip result in my largest (Venue best) from this particular lake?
Please do excuse some of the colour saturation as I had some hardware issues on this trip!
Bait
Air injected
Red worms from my composts
Lob worms
Maggots
Corn
Link ledger to allow the bait to not sink into the silt and air injected maggots and worms as bait.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Groundbait
loose fed maggot
Mainline Margin Mix, mixed with liquid Mollasses and a light amount of hemp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tackle
Okuma heavy match rod 14ft which would allow me to change to float fishing if i should have wished to and a very old second hand Daiwa match reel loaded with Shimano Technium mono

Nobody on you tube catches finer looking tench than you mark and it's obvious that the venues you fish aren't easy but the effort and your enthusiasm for the species is contagious a true pioneer Marko 😁 keeping us entertained and very much appreciated fella 😀 good god these fish are jaw dropping 👍
Well that is very kind fo you John !
@@francolinobasco absolutely welcome mark is there any chance you could try moatlands this year fella as it obviously produces special fish also , your a lucky man having all those venues close by ,I'd love to catch a bigger tench my pb is just over 6lb they're a bit thin on the ground up here in Yorkshire 👍
Cracking fish yet again.
I would love to find venues that are overlooked like you have found.
It's very rewarding finding fish like that.
Your videos have definitely inspired me to get out after the tench.
I can now have some idea how holding big tench like yours after a visit to an East Midlands river.
I fished it last year and saw the tip of the iceberg having tench to 6lb.
This years first trip I had 3 big tench to 7lb 13oz my new pb.
Hopefully I'll find something as big as yours on some new venues I have access to this year.
Tight lines looking forward to your next video.
This year has probably been my worst season for Tench. Really underestimated the lake I'm fishing.
Yes it was a very poor spring weather wise and that is being kind.
Just watched the video mark , what an amazing brace of fish ! Awesome angling my friend 😊👍
Thanks Andy, it is nice when things work out, stops me from premature hair pulling at least lol.
Did take your own aviary with you🤪 nice video Mark, Tench are bloody lovely
You would have thought so wouldn't you Clive! lol! Glad you liked the video mate.
Hi Mark, I hope you're well .
Great vid looking at a small practically unfished water near me that has been known for holding good tench up to 8lb....
In your opinion, do you think a 2lb 6ft Dwarf would be suitable? The water us unmanaged and fairly snaggy.
Thanks and keep up the a* vids 👍
That would be absolutely fine in my opinion Daniel however depends on the action of the Dwarf, you dont want it to be too stiff.
Wow congratulations what a session . Lovely tench and a pb for you. Brilliant. Well chuffed for you Mark. 😅
Thanks R333wall , yes it was a venue best not an overall pb but my largest from this particular lake, I was very chuffed mate to say the least. Can I also take the time to thank you for watching the video as well.🙏
Ive never been a jealous fisherman, but wow, i felt the thin veil of green envy obscuring my vision looking at that brace of tincas, absolutely cracking pal well done.
Thank you, sometimes you have a purple patch and other times can pull your hair out, this was thankfully the former which I was very fortunate to catch. Thanks also for stopping by and taking time to watch the videos as well.
Great video Mark
Thank you John!
Beautiful fishing
Thank you!
That’s a tight swim in which to handle fish of that calibre. Amazing angling both in terms of preparation and actually getting them in! Well done 👍
Cheers Bob, it is a gnarly swim, especially that tree on the left if they go that way you get that rod tip down as low as can be or else!
Not seen one of your videos for ages but glad i saw it what a cupple of beautiful fish congratulations mark
Thanks Nathaniel!
Well done mate, enjoyed it....not long now till river season...yeah boy!!
Thanks Kev and yes not long!
Great to have another video Mark. Lovely fish mate.
Thanks Mark, I am glad you guys have had patience with me as I have been taking my time.
I, for one, appreciate the groundwork put in to bringing quality fishing videos, thanks Mark💪🏾
Rafael your advice and guidance regarding people, how to respond and how to be calm have helped a lot over the many years that I am glad to say we have been friends, yet have never met each other, separated by that big old sea, but still remain good friends.
Hi Mark. I'm sorry, but I keep watching this video over and over and it doesn't let me sleep like a fisherman, you understand, it's not envy but a dream to catch such a fish. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm looking forward to the next video.🙂
Thank you ever so much and i am editing more new videos soon.
Well done 👏 mate, that was one hell of a fish, lovely colour too, not the very dark woody colour that a lot seem to have these days.
Again congratulations definitely a fish of note.
Cheers Les.
Stunning fish mate and supremely well angled in that tight swim! I lost two decent fish today in the lilies. I suspect one was 8-9lb. Gutted! I'm still after my 9. Had an 8lb 2 last week, so getting close! Tight lines.
Argh it is the worsed feeling losing fish,lilies can be particularly unforgiving too, sorry to hear that :( . Hope you manage to get amongst them again.
Just watched 👀 great tench mark very jealous! Love the videos 🎣👍👍👍
Thanks Danny! I was immensely happy. Cheers for watching too :)
Wow amazing fishing 👍what kind of depth has that pond got Iv been stocking a small pond with tench would love to think they could grow that size
this lake is actally fairly deep in places but does vary based on how they extracted the gravel, to be fair you don't need a deep water to hold large tench, it is more down to the availble food sources be that natural or otherwise and ph levels of the lake. I know quite a few shallow waters with good sized tench.
Absolutely cracking tench and nice you are fishing less commercial venues l will be looking 👀 everywhere for lakes near me ? Well done 👍
Thanks Alex, they were a very welcome reward and also nice to be able to bring you guys a video showing them. Well worth keeping your eyes on the look out for sure.
Nice Tench :)
Thanks 😁
Magnificent Fish.......
Thank you Hayden! Also thanks for taking the time to stop by and watch as I know yourself and many others have been very patient and I don't always have a reliable video release schedule.
Wow .... well done
Thanks Dav!
Well done mark lovely tench its all about the home work till the next time
Cheers Mark and no truer word, the investment in looking is as important as the time spent eventually wetting a line in my opinion mate.
Lovely tench nice video🎣🎣
Thank you Chris!
The best angler on UA-cam.
You're too kind, sometimes you get lucky fishing trips.
Absolutely lovely fish mark! Another amazing video
Thanks Luke!
Fantastic tincas chap. Very envious😅 I was feeling pretty pleased with myself before I watched this as I have been doing well on my tench fishing of late, but those 2 blew my catches out of the water(so to speak 😂) picked up a tip or 2 there as well, so thanks for that. Cheers mark
Thanks Dave, all tench are good tench mate, i am as happy catching 4s and 5s, this was special though for sure, i am glad that some of my information and tips helped too.
Brilliant fish ,. Rare as rocking horse up here in lancs .
Cheers Stephen and yes i bet they are rare up there.
Good to have you back mate
Keep those films coming ❤️
Thanks ever so much Matt, your mollasses are currently being put to even more good use, thank you ever so much for them, you have helped me out no end and always been sound towards me. So very much appreciated, many thanks mate.
Superb brace of tincas, looking forward to the next vid!
Thanks Richard, there will certainly be more.
Nice vid, Mark, you got the electric bike all rigged for a mission, regards.
Thanks yes, not sure where I'd be without it mate as a non driver.
Wow, great fish Mark, well done! Magnificent condition.
Mark respect. I have been fishing for tench for about 18 years in Ireland, but I never caught or seen such a big tench. thanks for the video. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Stunning Kippers 😎👍 well done Mark 👌
Thanks Mr Briggs!
Congrats Mr E, Nice to see you posting Videos again!
Thanks David, hopefully there will be a few more.
Well done Mark a marvellous brace of tench a great groundbait strategy as you have proved thought always produces results very impressive!
Thanks 👍 Nigel!
Cracking Tench Mark, well done.
Thank you John :)
Congrats Mark! What clinker! Love your videos and appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in
My pleasure Paul, many thanks for watching mate.
Hi mark excellent video with some fantastic Tincas well done keep them coming fella 🎣🎣🎣
Glad you enjoyed it Paul and will do!
Very well done Mark. Had a 5 pounder once but 9+ for me is an outstanding tench. ❤
Cheers mate, yes you see a lot of magazine articles showing doubles usually from well known venues, which for me gives false ideas of just how hard it can be to search other waters for larger tench. I was very happy with both these fish.
won't see a nicer brace of tincas than that 👍
Cheers, yes they are old fish too.
Hello, another beautiful day! and I notice that the bike is well loaded!! the price of glory!! see you soon
Merci Eric! yes the ebike helps a lot,the blue bag is chest waders and the side bags are originally retired Army bags. You are right the price of glory.
Some belters there well done Mark
Thanks Owen I was very very happy.
Lovely tench, Mark. And you've put a lot of work in, from start to upload. Looks a lovely lake and lovely hearing the wildlife.
And nice well kitted out bike
🎣🎣👍👍
Thanks Mick and yes you know yourself what it is like making these videos! The bike is a life saver to be fair.
Fantastic brace of tench Mark. Congratulations. Thanks for another great video.
My pleasure Mojo!
Truly fabulous angling. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Thank you very much 🙏
Nunca hubiera pensado que en un país no muy caluroso como es Gran Bretaña hubiese esos enormes ejemplares de tenca de …¡más de cuatro kilos! Excelente vídeo. Saludos desde España.
Gracias si en Gran Bretana tengo Grande Tenca 6 kilo mas en Lacs/ Platana. Muy Bueno Juego Spain en Copa Euro final.
@@francolinobasco In the late 70‘s and early 80’s there were a lot of tench in the area where I live where it is not a native fish. You could catch a lot of one to two pound specimens. You would hear of catches of fish over two kilos, but no more. Then in 1984 they disappeared, possibly due to the proliferation of the Louisiana red crayfish. My brother and I were very fond of fishing for this beautiful fish with those wonderful colours (green but sometimes golden) and red eye. It is not a strong fighter but it is a very mysterious fish and one that makes you very happy after having properly baited a spot, or even without baiting at all. In mid October with the arrival of cold weather they stopped biting until the following spring.
Thank you Mark. The England team is very powerful and that's why the match was very intense and exciting. The outcome was very uncertain until the last second of the game!

Excellent fishing mark” two cracking Tench there”.most enjoyable
Thank you Glyn!
Stunning place mark, absolute Stunning tincas ,well done as always, any chub or barbel videos in the pipeline from last season at all, I've been watching all your previous videos again, needing some fresh inspiration, and you sir inspire me, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Cheers Craig and yes there will be a few barbel videos in the new season mate!
What a tench. Well done my friend. Another great film👌 makes me itch to get out again
Thanks Roman, you and me both mate!
Belter 👍👍
Thanks Paul!
Wild quite lakes and float fishing for tench is my favourite place. Cannot beat it.
I hear that too, well said!
Lovely pair of Tinca's there Mark. I don't have any tench waters near me so it's nice to see someone such as your good self catching them, and to a good size too. Well done!
Cheers mate, yes it can be hard to source tench waters depending on your location and even then many can and will be carp syndicated.
great session mark,two absoloutley stunning tinca's well done mate,top angling.
Thanks 👍 Glen!
Fantastic, thank you
Thanks for watching Ray!
Simply brilliant.
Thank you Dan!
Another brilliant video Mark, thank you for sharing mate!

More to come Martin and thanks for tuning in!
This was ace Mark, lovely looking fish and classic Tench venue. Take care mate.
Thank you Mark!
Another great video Mark. That 9lb Tench looked like a proper old warrior, would have loved to have caught it myself 🙂🎣🎣
Cheers mate! She really was an old girl. Thank you for watching the new video too.
@@francolinobasco Always enjoy your video's Mark especially the Tench one's. You certainly have some great venues in your area that hold some real quality fish. Keep up the great work Mark, already looking forward to the next one 🙂🍻🎣🎣
Nice one mark, two absolute belters 👍🏻
Cheers Jordan!
Well done Mark.Excellent Tench
Thanks Blondie!
What terminal tackle was used here . Hooklength , hook size style ? Cheers . Unbelievable fish
What a brace. They look like old wildy fish. Propa tench fishin. Love to see u have one under the float. Love watchin Ur vids.
Cheers mate.Yes certainly old fish, if you check my tench fishing play list I do have quite a few tench videos on float from my older videos and will certainly be editing a new tench float fishing video in the near future. Thank you ever so much for watching the video.
Wow! What a chonk of a fish. Well done!
Thanks 👍
Piękne prosiaczki😃👍
Savage mark. The video didn't disappoint. 💪💪💪 congrats again
Thanks Ben!
A lovely brace of old warrior tench mark, loved the natural soundtrack too 👌
I have a phone app called Merlin which identifies bird calls. I used it to identify the birds in this video and they are, Eurasian Blackcap, Eurasian Wren, European Robin, Common Wood Pigeon, Dunnock.
I use it when I go fishing as I have an interest in wildlife as well as catching fish.
@@CB-xr1eg fair play
@@CB-xr1egnow that is brilliant thanks for that app information.
Cheers Steve!
AAAAmazing Tench!
Thank you☺
What a couple of tench. Just fantastic. Cant beat winning when wild fishing. Cracking and congrats
Totally agree David, it is a special feeling. Thank you kindly.
Well done Mark, cracking fish. Tight lines.
Thank you Jason!
Lovely old looking fish Mark, and great weights too.
I also love my spring tench fishing.
Thanks Mark yes they were ancient looking. You cannot beat spring into early summer tenching, especially as this spring really hasn't fully got going weather wise, so should be good for a few more.Cheers for stopping by to watch the video too.
Wow that some pair of tench my friend & nearly river season tight lines
Cheers Lee and yes not far away!
Cracking couple of Tench Mark. Well done mate. 👏
Cheers Pete! How about yourself? Are you out carping at the moment or have your waters started spawning for them?
Beautiful fish😅
Thanks Joseph it was a special little trip mate. Cheers for watching the video!
Fairplay , top man fisherman, particularly like your river fishing when you go for the Chub and Barbel, you show many skills as always.
Thank you for all you have shared with us. 😊
Very welcome Greg!
You never fail to make me smile mate .. tight lines Mark . Baz
Thank you Baz! I have me moments, must say the early start had me rubbing my eyes at the start of the video as you could probably see lol.
Another cracking session Mark , well done fella and great to see another video . Tight Lines buddy.
Steve M
Thank you very much Steve! Hopefully see you again with a new video.
My first comment was about the first fish 🐟 😅 then low and behold you go and top it 👍
You certainly had a red letter day didn't you.
Just reward for all your effort 👌 Sir.
Les.
Thanks 👍 Leslie!
Great video! Can't wait to go tench fishing!
Cheers and good luck to you when you do!
Well done Mark, super video.
Thank you Mark!
superfisherman
Thank you!
Deserved 👏
Lovely fish
Thank you Colin, I hope your trip for them went well today?
@francolinobasco nope no one on the lake had any Tench
All that was court on the Hole lake was 5 Bream
Absolutely brilliant well done Mark ,a very memorable trip.
Thanks Stephen it was a very special trip and a very early start as you could probably tell from the mixture of eye rubbing at the start lol.
Nice to see this pop up. Great stuff.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching too.
👏🎣well done
Thank you Spence!
That tench was HUGE! Nice one Mark
Cheers it was an oldie too, makes you appreciate how tough life can be as much on fish as it can be on all of us. Many thanks for taking the time to tune in as well Quietcatch.
Mark don’t know If you could recommend me a rod. I am looking for something for stalking and margin work with my centerpin . With the aim to catch big carp and tench .
I can try mate. You don't say what length of rod you want or whether it will be for ledger and the pin or float fishing. if you are thinking close range ledgering with the centrepin then you could do a lot worse than the Angling direct ambush rod 1.75 test curve and 7 foot. Outside of that it may be worth checking out the Tackle box Dartford website as their Darent valley range of rods can be well suited . For float fishing and stalking or tighter swims it is worth keeping your eye on ebay for the TFG compact float rod, that is now discontinued but turns up second hand on ebay and is around 9 foot ideal for tight swims on rivers or lakes when trotting/float fishing.
@@francolinobasco Thank you for the reply ! It would be nothing bigger than 9ft. And something that can do float fishing or small ledger little bit of a allrounder. A friend of mine has recommended me WYCHWOOD EXTRICATOR MLT 9FT, this might be close to the tfg you recommend has them rods are stronger . I have never had a 7ft rod just thought they would really limit you ?
@@francolinobasco also would 1.75lb not be light for Margins for big carp? The ambush rod does seem a steal tho but could it pull in a 20lb carp ha
Bravo sir
Thank you very much 🙏🙂
Do you release all, not eat at all, i think it is very delicioso fishi when seasoned and smoked ;)
Just to clarify the facts, read up on the rules which is knowledgeable to know. We do put the fish back. Catch and release, so other anglers can catch and release another day. Editcate and respect to the fish it self. Fish safety.
Catcho and realso put them back in the water and not in the frying pan it's the rules here in the u.k ALL FRESHWATER FISH MUST BE RETURNED TO THE WATER UNHARMED. Just to clarify and clear things up.
Wow, that is indeed a strange law in your country. Many people think that fishing just for fun is not humane, as the fish have to fight for their lives, possibly multiple times in their lives due to hobby fishermen. Inevitably, many fish get seriously injured by the fishing hook and are then simply thrown back into the water to die? Every country has its own rules :)
@@ExcitedFrogmouth-np8zt agreed mate well said.
I'm a fly fisherman Mark but I appreciate watching your craft ,and dedication a truly brilliant angler my man........those Tench are something else.
well done mark fantastic summer fishing with tench ,,,,,you summed it up perfectly old fish in a natural old pit ,the birds were singing their harts out ,great session away from it all emerged in mother nature ,we anglers are so lucky we never grow up when it come to angling and we get away with it,,,, doing what we like most,,good to see you back mark more to come i hope river season just over the next hedge,,great stuff tight lines ,,until your next adventure down by the waters edge keep um cumming,cheers,,
Many thanks to you stephen and best of luck if you are out on the rivers on opening day mate!
Great brace Mark well done it's great to watch when I can't get out there myself
Many thanks mate, not nice when you can't get out either :(
