Hi Steve. Loving your videos they’re fantastic. I’ve religiously paid attention and my catch rate is up massively especially on the method feeder. Keep em coming guys. Could you do a video on how to get into match fishing, what gear you need and what to expect. Many thanks

Barbel are fantastic to catch, only fished for them on small rivers where you hook, hold and hope. Looking to target some bigger rivers this autumn. Great to see this video and the tips and tactics. Nice fishing!

Lovely video. I've never caught barbel, I live in Scotland. I've caught salmon, seatrout, chub etc but no barbel. I'll have to try it, I'm getting to an age where being static seems better. Loved it, then again all your videos are spot on.

I think that pound to pound nothing beats a proper river carp. Barbels for sure are a challenge (especially big ones like the last one WOW!) but a carp of the same weight...fiuuuu....that's a real challenge, especially if you are not doing any species/size targeting fishing

Would love to catch a river Carp! In our area they're fairly elusive and take a lot of time and effort if you want to seriously target them!

Nice video Steeve, lovely barbel 👍 Indeed the rivers are low and crystal clear in Belgium too and that are the worst conditions for barbel fishing...😒

I'm not too sure I'm afraid mate, we're not local to the area unfortunately.

I have never used feeders, seems counter productive?? Loading the column with food? Here in Montana you can catch as many barbel as you want with just a worm and a weight heavy enough to keep it on the bottom. Good fight for sure. Clear fast river. You can see the barbel like a carpet on the bottom. Easiest fish to catch. NormLly we catch them on accident fishing for lake or Bull trout. Are they tough to catch over there? Do the feeders really work?

chris thomas we fished for 20+ hours and all through the night. It wouldn’t have been possible to sit and watch the tip for that long. If we’d just fished a day session then bite alarms wouldn’t have been necessary.
