Can experienced tenchers give me some advice please.
I usually fish for pike but this summer have been turned on to Tench by my fishing partner "Des the Tart Tobin".
When raking how much should be removed ,does over use of the rake make tench uncomfortable ,do they miss the cover ? Just how much should one remove .
Secondly how much ground bait should I put in at present not very much with a sprinkling of corn and a a few casters . Does a boyant bait beat one fished on the bottom ,are they more likely to go for a visible bait ?
Any advice gratefully recieved.
My best to date is 6lb 4oz , the water I am preoccupied with is a hard water good fish but they tend to be shy and hard to get , not a big head of tench but what is there is good.
