Hi ,
I am hoping for some advice on fishing a weedy gravel pit, mainly for tench.
I know they like to feed in weed so I guess I need to fish here somehow?
The pit has weed in the summer from what looks like top to bottom in large areas. Wherever I fish I drag large amounts of weed back in!
Have tried raking a patch and have seen tench appear as I am doing it, but can't buy a bite even on 4lb line float fishing. The silt is black and stinks is this the problem or should I fish into the weed?
Thanks
