Fishing Techniques
- For Tench
Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.
- For Northern pike
Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
- For European whitefish
Use a slow retrieve or jigging action, keeping the lure close to the bottom where whitefish often feed; experiment with different depths.
