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 Wels catfish

    Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.
