Absolutely great dave love em keep em coming we'll done me mon

Another good video mate. Enjoyed it.

Well done Dave.

Good fishing Dave, look forward to seeing Day 2 & 3. I wish we had those types of waters in London & South East instead of towpaths resembling shanty towns with dilapidated moored boats occupied by anti-fishing brigade.

Great video and result Dave, looking forward to the next 2 mate 👍🐟🙂

Always a joy watching you work out the lines - canal n river fishing are my fav venues

Absolutely the biz Dave 👍🏿

Another great result Dave, well done mate, love these canal videos.

Brilliant match Dave and commentary you don't half get through some worm. Congratulations on winning your zone and second overall. Brilliant bit of canal match fishing especially with the boat traffic. Once again well done and can't wait for the next match keep the videos coming tight line's 🎣🎣👍

Loved it !! looking forward to day 2 and 3

Another great result on the canal Dave, keep the videos coming as they are great to watch. Look forward to the next 2 days :)

Well done Dave, looking forward to watching the other 2 days.

Well done dave 👏 looking forward to the next 2 vids

Great start 👏

brilliant start Dave can't wait to see the next video well done

Well done AGAIN!

Well done Dave great start to festival.

well done Dave another good result,you worked the swim well to keep fish coming . looking forward to the next two matches in the festival.

Gew on Dave. Looking forward to days 2 and 3 videos.

Another cracking match and video mate 👍

i love the shroppy i grew up there every summer trying to bag fish on an Woolworths 5ft blue rod lol so happy gudgeon are so obliging to eat maggots these videos bring back memories, i used to fish around market drayton

Great video David great result

Great video on cut as usual .You worked hard for that result mate well done.Thanks a lot ,a pleasure to watch stay safe & tight lines

another great video m8, you make it look a lot easier than it really is, great fishing and good luck in the next 2 matches

Great result young man, you worked hard for it. The last time I fished a match on the shroppy was between your peg and the double bridge, then it was Gudgeon and Tommies, that was in 1981. The boat traffic has not changed in all those years.

Size of the float i use is mostly dependent on depth and flow although i do use quite heavy floats on the worm as it makes it easier to jig about. 0.2 floats are fine for most of your rigs and it's all about confidence in what you are using👍

Loved every second of this upload Dave. I know that stretch well. But did you miss a trick come sandwich o'clock? Seemed to be when you could only catch tiddlers! We were taught as kids that there's always three parts/sections to each feed for each swim. As soon as the tiddlers get to the bait first you switch to an identical depth swim fed at 50% intervals to your banker, allowing you to rotate and keep the better stamp coming. I miss fishing cut matches, far more technical than commercials (imo). The three stage metod being basically 1st stage catch what's there, 2nd stage the stamp gets bigger, 3rd stage the tiddlers mop up what's left. By two hours into the match we were taught to Identify the banker lines asap, then rotate three identical depth swims with the same rig in order to stay in touch with the 2nd stage. All that before I was 12 years old. Stafford Izaak Walton Juniors FTW 1993😄😄

That's where me and you differ, i don't like putting too many groundbait lines in as imo it splits fish about, and leaves less room in your peg to do other things! I'll stick to what I'm doing as i don't think I'm doing too bad😘 P.s i think commercials are far more technical than canals🤔

How can you split fish if every 60 seconds they naturally swim 10m in either direction? The shoal moves/even if there's food they follow safety in numbers! Splitting the shoal is a man made ideal... I'm pretty certain the fish don't care about what we think.................🥰🥰

Fish do swim and there is absolutely safety in numbers. Fish don't care what we think, their instincts is to eat and survive. Your idea of having multiple lines doing similar things is not for me as if your timings are wrong you could miss that shoal! As i say i think i do ok employing the tactics i use.

@@mynamesnotdave695 i don't see how that can be classed as 3 different swims, if it's within 1500mm🤔 the natural spray of squatts will feed more than that area alone, so you couldn't feed them different. Plus my single line will cover upto 3 metres away from where the groundbait has gone in🤷‍♂️

Dave do you fish just off your fed area... Say 2ft or so or sit on top of feed?

At times i've fished upto 3 metres away from where I've fed mate, bites will dictate where i spend my time! On top of the feed can be best, other times it can be the worst place to be. There's times when fishing upstream of our feed is best! It's a trial and error thing, on the day.

You can't beat those pleasure fishing pegs can you mate? 😆 I've had 1 or 2 of those and to be honest you can't really win, because if you do bag up then it's because of the peg, and if you catch nothing (which can happen) then you're shit 😆 Nice to see a couple of anglers from my day, Martin Owen and Simon Nickless. With these guys, Paul & Neil Turner, and Peter Plant & Planty Junior, and Dave Berrow, if you beat these guys then you're probably in the money. I've seen Paul Turner in a few recent videos but I haven't seen anything of Neil, Berrows, or the Plants for over 20 years 👍

If I remember rightly he drew a good peg in Alrewas and won with about 25lb of carp....... Me? I drew at Wychnor, right next to the A38 and caught virtually fuck all 😆as did my fishing partner at the time who drew near the Oakamoor transport café where it was usually good for a few chub but they didn't feed. We knew it was gonna be a carp weight that'd win so you had to have a go for them if you wanted to finish in the top 2, but unfortunately they were only small numbers of them in certain areas. Anyway I hope you do well in that festival mate, if I was still living up there and had my gear then I would probably have fished that meself 👍

Preston f1 fines for the maggot and some homemade floats for squatt and pinkie. A mixture of wire stemmed and carbon, dependent on how they're having it.
