I always like to watch Steve fish he's a brilliant angler and always explains everything in detail and the reasons he does things. Cracking video.

hi steve how long have you been back with browning

So Steve, what is the float weight then please?

I have 2 questions, i recently started with fishing. - Why is is better to fish on a harder bottom than fishing in the silk? - If you plumb up in the shallow part on a slope where the depth alters. Why don't you fish in the deeper part? Someone told me because of the undercurrent of a canal the bait ends up always in the deeper part. I am confused with this.

'Why is is better to fish on a harder bottom than fishing in the silt?' That's because the fish will stir up the silt and you can get foul hooked fish as they won't be able to pick out your bait as easily (a cloud). Also you know your exact depth on a hard bottom. 'Why don't you fish in the deeper part?' That's where all the dead leaves and silt will form in the deepest part mainly (flows down). The silt will cause tell tale signs on the surface like bubbles (fizzing). In winter the deepest part can be good because the fish will shoal up together but they can be easily spooked and they won't feed as well. There are lots of variables but these are the main ones. Hope this helps :)

@@TheDJKareem Thank you! Yes it helps a lot! :) I do have one more question, in this video he is using 0.21 mainline and a 0.16 for hook lengths. Do the fish never notice the thicker mainline? Or do they only see what is on the bottom where the bait is? So lets say if i make a pole rig with a 0.18 in the winter and 0.12 for hook length, this will not spook the fish because of the mainline is a lot thicker? I fish on carp and bream. :)

@@tinne4282 No, they tend to not notice, make your hook-lengths 6 inches long and your last shot just above the knot to knot. If you are going to fish on the bottom they will have their heads down anyway but you can't avoid them bumping into your line. It's fine :)

Proper lumps.
