Get all flavoured and coloured corn back in UK o Neill. The range of baits is incredible I know guys who use cockles from the jar for Tench and Bream. I always was old fashioned bread barely sinking on the hook or a whopper worm under a float. ]]> Thu, 29 Sep 2016 21:52:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659921&title=first-tench-session#1659921 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659573&title=first-tench-session#1659573 Author: o Neill

Now we have all the hi tech gear fish are still the same. Going to try plastic corn soaked in Scopex next.
Also corn soaked in strawberry flavouring.]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 21:38:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659573&title=first-tench-session#1659573 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659564&title=first-tench-session#1659564 Author: Muppet

Nice one boys good old Tench was always a stubburn fighter 6 1/2 pounds a great PB. I caught one near 10lb back in the UK once a bloody beast got no photo's though just two mates there. Though most I caught weighed about 5lb. My method was simple a hook and slow sinking bread pinched on or two bits of corn lobbed into the weed fringes. Then I would pinch another piece of bread between the first and second guide and pull it down a little and watch the belly in my line. When it went tight and that bread between the guides twitched up I would strike sometimes I used a bottle cap from a washing up liquid bottle as cheap bite alarms!  Funnily enough my softbaiting is watching the line in the exact same way its all the same this fishing lark.

I'm certain there are double figure fish here. Yes the current record is 8 pound 3 oz still a great fish .]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 18:25:36 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659521&title=first-tench-session#1659521 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659505&title=first-tench-session#1659505 Author: lemmy

Tinca Tinca are really cool fish to target called the doctor fish by many as as lots of other species rub up aside them to get a coating of the protective slime to coat other wounds and scrapes ,I think the record is 8.5 lbs in NZ but I have personally seen double figure ones in Lake Pupuke .

Thanks i have had several expats say the same to me on the bsnk they are a special fish tactically challenging , moody and a powerful fighter. they are not that well spread but where they are they have anglers who really enjoy their sport
otaku Wellington Canterbury and north Otago have fisheries out region has suffered from carp problems. going to fish a new venue nextweek that might have them in.

my pb is 6 1/2 pound caught three times by three anglers in two weeks from the same swim(different part of the lake) .I know of one over seven pound caught in the 90s. the more of us who fish (and release) these the more likely they will get the protection they deserve ok off my soap box.]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 17:26:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659501&title=first-tench-session#1659501 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659447&title=first-tench-session#1659447 Author: JW

Great stuff. If my old man sees these I'll never get him back out on the salt next time he's over. His favorite freshwater fish. Always had a bit of a tench fetish. One of my favorites too. Had no idea they were in NZ in numbers. I bet they grow huge. ]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 13:43:18 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659447&title=first-tench-session#1659447 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659435&title=first-tench-session#1659435 Author: Fishb8

no it's also important to remember that the fish is under pressure from kio destroying their habitat and illegal fishing from some. the venue itself has warning signs that fish should not be eaten due to water quality issues that are on going. I am going to table a rule change proposal in line with other regions to have a zero catch and kill rule to protect the species .]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2016 14:47:43 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659228&title=first-tench-session#1659228 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114320&PID=1659225&title=first-tench-session#1659225 Author: Reel Deal
