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 European conger

  Fish baits and lures close to the seabed, especially around wrecks and rocky areas, as conger are often ambush predators.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
