I'm fishing a popular carp lake and it seems that the biggest tench are falling to the carp fishermen using boilies. And to them the tench are a nuisance 
Rather than asking them what they are using (which they might not like!) can anyone suggest good boilies for Tench?

Why is it that when we're talking to God it's praying, yet when he talks to us we're barking?

| I've had a fair few tench on 10mm Ringers White Shellfish in my last couple of outings, but usually the sweet fruity flavours such as tutti fruity are a good shout. |

If the tench are such a nuisance though, I don't see any harm in asking them. They'll be glad to have someone take them off their hands won't they?  |

| The tench I have managed to pick from my local were caught on either marmite boilies or molasses soaked nut and white choc boilies. |

| l asked one of the carp lads on my local lake what he was getting his nuisance fish on, ie big tench and big bream, and because he knows l dont have any interest in going for the carp in the lake he ended up giving a load of boilies that he was using and told me what his main ingrediants were for his spod mix. not a bad bunch of lads most of them :) |

| Just done a bit of research. Seems Esterberry is hailed as an awesome tench bait? Am I just too young to remember this bait? Seems to be a long forgotten quality product. |

Never even heard of Esterberry - but it sounds like a go-er!
Thanks for all of your tips guys. |

| Best bait for tench is plastic yellow sweetcorn. Have had so many of them on it when carp fishing. |
