hi errrm
if your going to try a new bait at this lake then what i would do is to chuck a few worms in 1-2 days before you go to introduce the fish to the new baits and get them feeding confidently.
if worms work i dont realy no all lakes are different so the fish may not like worms but they usualy work for tench. if its not usaly fished and youve introduced modern day baits too them then the'll be more confident in taking your bait.
as for catching tench and bream at my lake that i fish at i use carping methods boilies and pellets and it works a trat for the carp, tench and bream so just experiment with the lake
hope this helps you

Ive never actually made a mistake in buying baits but my friend has he brought what said to be squid and octopus boilies and they didn't smell like squid and octopus they smelt of rat food
so i brought some squid and octopus ones from a different brand and they smelt completely different mike

hi there
perhaps you should bait the swim up where your going to fish to get the fish feeding confidently so when you get there that night they wont hesitate to take your bait
also you should try to be quiet and check the weather before you go, because if its going to rain then you'll need to take a shelter of some sort.
the rig that i use is a braided ledger with a hair rigged boilie but thats for my lake you need to experiment with your lake and learn what the fish like there
and the best place to cast would be either near a bank and maybe near lilies but lilies are better for tench
good luck

hello there anglers
i think a few of us experienced the conditions of Sundays weather and i got absolutely drenched and was not happy as i wanted to fish for longer, but couldn't because of the weather.
so i was wondering if any one can help me on buying waterproof gear so i can fish for longer on rainy day
all help is appreciated

spicy shrimp boilies or strawberry jam the strawberry jam boilies have a great sense of smell. but realy its all a matter of opion and different lakes, some lakes spicy shrimp may be a perfect boilie and it works realy well there and some lakes they might not work at all
