I know like me many don't even want them and I'm lucky in as much as I don't fish too many waters that are plagued with them.
However, there are plenty in the estate lake and they have to be endured whilst waiting for a tench to come along. In my limited experience I find the bites especially from skimmers infuriating, it seems they just toy with the bait whether it's meat or corn and more often than not I end up striking in frustration and foul hooking them quite regularly.
Is this quite usual? I'm fishing on the bottom in five foot of water laying on a couple of inches.
