Stalking Wild Canal Tench

- Out on the local canal and armed with the ultralight rod i decide to target the wild green canal tench. Using bread and worms i rove the canal for some oppertunistic fishing in the clear water focusing on feeding fish in the margins.

On my local stretch of the Thames (Oxford area) The Tench start biting at dawn, you could set your clock by them lol. Never bigger than 3lb but wild as you like and great fun on light tackle. As the sun rises to daylight they disappear as quickly as they arrived. But after a night of bagging up on the Bream up to 8lb and the odd Carp or Barble they are a welcome end to the session. Same bait as I fish all night sweetcorn tipped with a single maggot or small worms. The arrival of small silvers let's you know that the session is over and it's time to go home for breakfast. 😊🐟🎣 Really enjoyed your video, you sound like I do, always expecting to lose the blighters. 👍😊 Liked and subscribed. Ps stay with the rivers and canals or wild lakes. Commercials just don't do it for me. 👍😊
@@TonyChurch112 Everything that isn't actually a 'fish' comes under the umbrella of 'tackle' including ironically the large 'umbrella' many anglers utilise during bouts of inclement weather. Seriously tackle generally refers to all the line, rods, weights, hooks etc of which most anglers have far to much of, but would be lost without. I hope this reply hasn't caused injury to anyone? 😊
Nice video! Mastered tench fishing last year. Here in Russia tench like magic fish, need to be very lucky to catch.
Tench love sweetcorn with vanilla essence maggots and casters mate from UK I gre up fishing for tench 👍👍🎣🇬🇧
Went fishing yesterday got a ton of tench from prawn...give it ago you'll be surprised
@@kieranroberts9119 naaah, the best bait for tench has to be bloodworm, Tench go crazy for them, you should try that mate and you gonna wish you can turn the time back in time. 😉
@@enisazemi6533 lol we all have the confidence baits mate and I wish I Coukd turn back time I had some great times back then with me corn and a waggler 👍👍
Here, in Indiana, a perch that size would be considered a trophy. I had never even heard of tench before this video. Cool looking fish and a great fight too. Great video, as usual.
They're a different species from the perch you get in the states, quite similar in appearance but a different species altogether.
Brilliant video. Real fishing without a truckload of tackle in a overstocked fishery. Keep up the great work 👏👏👏
Great video. Reminds me of my local River for the Bream - had a walk along there yesterday, two and a half foot of water and about 12 between 3-5lb all shoaled up ready to spawn , couldn't miss them. But I will have to wait until 16th June!
They were like that on the canal last night as well as a million roach. Im sat on my hands thinking about what to film
@@The_ginger_fisherman If you are ever down West London way I can put you on to a couple of small rivers locally where the water is crystal clear, depth is 2-3ft maximum and you catch 5lb Chub, 2lb Perch and 4lb Bream on light tackle by watching them hit the bait
Good vid buddy .. nice fish .. cheers Chris & Sam
I've been subscribed now for about a week and let me tell you, if you dare fish one of those commercial fish In a barrel carp lakes we are over! Lol Stick with the wild fish your lucky to have water like that ,our local canal is now unused and just a shallow Reed bed...thanks for reigniting my passion for fishing 👍 great session again.
Thanks buddy :). I really don't like commercials, but im thinking about going to one and fishing pinky mice on a hair rig to see iff they'll eat anything XD
@@The_ginger_fisherman
Fair! ...looking forward to it 👍 tight lines!
I love it when canal tench just bolt unstoppable up stream, all the running from pike make them so strong. Many times I'd be on pole light elastic and off you go running up and down with 9 metre of pole.
I was stalking for tenches with my friend Last week and we got 3 beautiful Tenches. So exciting.
Very nice Vid. Abo and Like from me.
Greetings from Germany

When we were young, (1960s) we used to catch a lot of pike, by design, on floatfished worm on our local canal... 4lb line and #10. Surprisingly few bit us off ... up to 16lbs too. Nice video. Would love to see some more tench and perch fishing, don’t see many of them where I am now!
Not a canal boat in sight 🤦♂️you lucky so and so 😁Been watching your videos randomly and i got to admit, even though i thought about it a 1000 times ,is to Get on my bike and travel ultra light and fish for a few hours .But the bloody hill i got to ride back up has put me off over the years ,and i'm not getting any younger 😏Thanks for your effort mate 👍
Tench are my favourite fish to catch. Beautiful coloured eyes. Wow they fight hard.
Makes me sick jealous watching your videos mate, the fish in the waters around you are top notch quality I'd give a finger to catch some of the fish you land! Round me you just couldn't dream of that stamp of fish. Top angling dude.
Another Beautiful Fishing Video.
Congratulations, this place is wonderful and has Big Fish.
Hug!!!👍🎣😎
nice video,well done,from a fisherman of 42 years,
Some nice fish you caught there mate. I would rather see you catch or even try and catch a canal carp than a carp from a commercial fishery.
Funny you should say that. Last night was out with the light rod 2lb line and saw a ghost carp. Cast some crust to it and bam it screamed off and broke me in the weed. Dont know why i even bothered casting to it to be fair XD
@@The_ginger_fisherman hard look man, that would have been a nice fish for the camera. A few years back I had a 6 pound koi from the Royal Canal in the Irish Midlands. Great fight from it as I was only using a 2.6lbs hook length. Best of look in the future my friend. I look forward to viewing more of your content 👍
watching people catch carp from commercial fisheries is about exciting as watching the bins being collected.
Always loved stalking tench my PB is 9lb best bait is a big log worm they just love them or strawberry gluged pellet or boillie , split shots always spooks them they love it when the worm just flutters down
Oh god it’s ripping line, it’s ripping line 😂 . Brilliant bit of fishing mate 👍🎣
I highly recommend watching these videos with chill music of your choice! very relaxing
Nice one , as always my friend. My kind of fishing.
Best video I've watched for a bit. Would love to see you try and tease out one of these canal carp, I tried a few years back defo saw fish but couldn't get them to feed was tough going. Always said I'll be back to try again but havnt quite plucked up the courage to do so 😂
Caught a 16 LB common carp on the local canal. We'd cast our rods at 00:00 June15/16th. We'd watched this group of 4 carp, a mix of 2 common, mirror and a leather, patrolling most of the blistering hot day. Then about 3 pm my mate took his girlfriend home and bored I thought I'd chance dropping a freelined nugget of maize on their nose as they came by next time (the carp, not my mate and his bird lol). I knew I'd have to be spot on or the maize would sink before they're likely to take it. I hadn't seen them take anything from the surface but that was the most exciting take up to that day
Beautiful fish, and healthy looking too.
The Grand canal here in Dublin is teeming with tench. They really are a kick on ultralight gear.
Another great video.
I caught some lovely tench this evening on sweet corn. I've not tried bread yet but will give it a go later in the week. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing your fishing with us 👍🏻🎣
Thanks matey. Sometimes bread just works. Off camera i did try dropping some juice lobs in front of some tench but every one turned away
Top Session fishing with Ultra light rod welldone!
Very nice film mate just being able to stork fish like that is great well done
Enjoyed the video keep it up and speaking of tench i had a couple tench in my pond beautiful fish they are unfortunately had to get rid of them but the biggest one was 18inches
I have a couple of golden tench. Cant seem to get my hands on a green tench
The Ginger Fisherman my dad got them about 10 year ago they were only like an inch or two when we had them
Excellent Chris! Stick to wild fishing mate... I like commercial fishing now and again, but you should keep doing what you are doing. Maybe go back for a canal carp and record the footage finding them.
This is quality Ginge. Wish he had canals near me in Wigan as clear and stuffed with perch and slabs like that. That “small” perch you had would be a fish of a life time from my canal 🤣
Thanks bud and im guessing you have a population of zander? Usually thats affects chubnky perch numbers
The Ginger Fisherman lots and lots and lots of jacks, yet to see a zander.
Wigan canal has huge perch? And tench Nd bream and pike. Go to wigan pier mate and put a small live bait on . Weve had them upto 4lb there.
Big slabs aswell 8lb , tench to the same.
James Marsland I’m more towards appley bridge parbold way mate, loads of jacks but really struggling to land any stripeys. I only lure fish live baiting isn’t really my thing
fantastic canal fishing.
That looks a great stretch of canal, some varied fish in there, really enjoyed this vid mate! An old guy pointed me to a good Tench spot on a canal near me recently, sweetcorn didn't work there, but will def try bread after seeing this! I've seen them in there, do you think early morning and late evening are when they're feeding? Cheers.
Deffo dawn and dusk. Pretty much all species even predatory feed most at these times
Bread is a very good option as well as worms and personally i'd say dusk is best just as its getting dark they seem to gain so much confidence and start patrolling the margins
Don't catch many Tench. One of my favourite fish. Good watch. Cheers 👍
Good one Chris. Not to excited eh 👍🐟
Outstanding content . I find this fishing extremely intriguing . I'm from the states and the way you are fishing is similar to creek fishing here . The species you have are very cool ! we have what we call Bream but they are not at all like over there . Your perch could eat our perch for a snack . We have huge carp in small steams that never ever get fished for .... like 25-30 pounds and very common . Keep making content , I'll keep watching
@@TonyChurch112 I wish I could but work keeps the Wife and I busy all the time . What are you fishing for here ?
You're such a great bloke!
Best of luck mate !
Brilliant video love sight fishing, river or the sea nothing to beat it :), so good to see light sport being prompted, mackerel on 2 lb line is very good fun :) tight line sir, stay safe
Realy enjoyed this. dont see many fish here on the canal in Milton keynes just dont see any. Thanks.
Another great video Chris Keep them coming 👍 PS your a pike magnet 😂😂
Love all your content mate best fishing channel on CZcams by far
Could'nt agree more haha
Keep it up fella. Enjoyable watching
Great Video, the canals in my area (the grand union & the oxford canal) are soooo coloured, I’m guessing there are no boats travelling through that stretch. Must be awesome to have a clear canal.
Good video, mate!
Come to the North East, fish the River Wear and catch a barbel in double figures, that is not easy! Great stuff again!
Super video just restarted fishing after a 24 yr ,especially the lure fishing but this video goes to prove anything can be caught on the this type of tackle,i was a bit sceptical but a pike on lock down day,another one on lock off day and a couple since in very short sessions as little as half hr on my local canal has really inspired me,one question though can recommend the landing net you use as is seems more compact than I’m using at the moment, also like the idea of the bike to cover more likely spots,keep the the vids coming spot on
Thanks Richard. The net im using is an abu garcia predator landing net, but you can also get savage gear and fox ones that are all pretty much the same
Great video
Quality 👍
Tight lines bud 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Great video, I would like to see a carp video. It will mix things up a bit.🎣😎
Great video,brilliant fishing,🎣
Love your vids, even better they are filmed on my local canal on which I have the pleasure to work on (weed boat) I'll keep an eye out and say hello.
Really cool video 😎 more micro lure videos for roach, rudd and perch please 👍🏻
Yea i'll probably do that this week i cant help myself
That's a big mic!
Nice vid, "lets try something different" something like catfishing? and i would also love that carp fishing video from you :D
Proper fishing, I feel lazy going the sticker fish pond tomorrow
really enjoyed that video. cheers mate
AWESOME ! beautiful fish 🙌
2:59 gotta love it
Great video. That 2lb braid was certainly tougher than I thought it would be. When you fly fish on the canal again I'd be interested in any tips you have for starting fly fishing this way. There's loads of stuff on CZcams but it nearly all seems lakes and rivers.
Tench is one of the best best for wels catfish!!! Give it a try
Love the videos but your so luck to have so many waters near you that are gin clear. Our canal is chocolate coloured
The whole canal is like that for miles. As soon as the boat traffic picks up it will be a different story
Good footage mate
So nice video bro..I love yours video
Great to see fish returned gently with net
Awesome session Chris. Beautiful Tench. Still my favourite fish.☺ You ever try freelining a few grains of sweetcorn for them too? And no matter where you go, you can seem to escape from the Pike...😆 lol
Thanks mate! As much as i like pike and perch, tench are my favourate. Ive caught them on sweetcorn while targeting the bream, but can never get them confidently taking it to be honest
@@The_ginger_fisherman Well...you could try laying around trap for them with plain crumb groundbait and sweetcorn mix in a swim where you see the Tench on a regular basis and get them feeding confidently on it. Then you might get a bag of them.
Brilliant,, get some fly on the go on the river,,,👍👍👍👍
Great fish..bream was a clonker :)
Hi , What's Stralking!!!!!! Ha ha.
Why did no one mention this sooner XD
Ha ha ha 😆
Awesome fishing! Was the jighead 0,7g or 1g?
I'm not using 2lb line with my Livingston lures! shits are £20 a pop! 60lb brade on a baitbaster for dem bass
really good
Hi pal great vid.👍
I know it’s a different topic than today’s but I wanting to start drop shoring for perch, small pike and chad etc.
Can you recommend decent light drop sit rod and reel setup that won’t cost the earth. Cheers 👍
So much better than those Tame Canal Tench...
Lake I fish on a carp water there are doubles galore when you waid out the tench bang into your legs eating the dropped bolie. 14lb is my biggest
Great stuff mate. Go for wild carp. keep doing what you're doing. Don't do that commercial carp trash - not proper fishing that. Love ya work GF.
Just lost a canal carp last night on the ultra light rod. i'll deffinetly have to seek revenge sometime
Did you ever try to fish with artificial bugs ? Like Illex woodlouse or so ? Would be great to test some of those in a video. Great video this one. 👍
And the location , as just love it
Fantastic result Chris, something I’ve thought of doing recently after finding a good gear of tench. Problem is they are constantly on the move and heavily over run with weed and Lilly’s. Apart from your tactics here but heavier line, any recommendations
Nice vid bro!!!
Tench are ace.
Loving the micro fishing do another video on micro perching
Been doing the same with a live frog or earthworm, for black bass, it's always a pleasure an you may get unexpected bites.
Chris, may I ask which canal you are fishing on? Thx
alright. have you tried springwood fishery in derby? i was there june last year and had a lot of carp. had to travel 700 miles .
Why is the canal sooooo underrated and that's coming from someone who lives on the London stretches. I rather fish for bloody gudgeon and Tommy ruffs all day. Then fish in one of those carp lakes can't beat it
At 4.00 minutes, it looks like a bigger fish gets spooked, right next to the pike. Is it just the video looking like that?
Great video does anybody know any good spots around the midlands for zander absolutely none round me and would like to catch my first one
You should do a what’s inside my tackle box video
In Australia we have invasive tench but they are extremely rare
Awesome tench👍🎣 Congratulations. 👏👏👏 Did you catch all of them with bread?
Thanks buddy. Yes all the tench were on bread
Absalootly brilliant!!
Excellent. 👏
Love your videos sir. Please don't take this the wrong way, and i'm no Dr but have you had your neck checked out? Looks like some kind of swelling / lumps when you talk. Glands? Tonsil issue. Anyway i just noticed watching this. Sorry , do not mean to offend , just concerned.
Hey buddy love your content do you have any how to videos? My biggest problem is knowing how to retrieve certain lures as I'm only new to lure fishing :) be great to learn about it from a great angler like yourself :)
Small red worms and cheese - wont go wrong with these two hookbaits
Catch a canal carp.....they have their habits.. That's what I would do..that second bream was a fine one..
you could try for a river carp on a centrepin?
6:30 thats a good size for the canal or overall because i've caught one that was 69 cm and they get even bigger than that!
UK fish are laid back, it's like they can't even be bothered.
Congratulations on the most ridiculous comment ever found on a fishing channel :)
What on earth do you even mean?
It's a pike lol. If your getting them on work theres far to many pike.
Where is this canal I need to go there
Oh please please do more videos like this
