Great video given me loads of confidence in the kit I’m using over weekend well explained going for a week in uk loads of cats shame it’s a bit cold maybe for them it’s my first time 👍👍👍🎣

I agree with your choice of coffee - best I've ever had & been using it for a few years. ☕

Great watch with loads of helpful info. There’s loads of videos with the catch and the bait but not the full set up, really helpful 👍 I’m gearing up to go for catfish and sturgeon, would you think 20 or 25lb mono would suffice? The pools I’ll probably fish are not huge and mostly snag free

Kind of a late response, but here in the US we like to use circle hooks and cut or live bait for cats. do you guys not do that often (I know you’re also going for carp but still)

Hi mate. Yes we also live and dead bait for cats here in the uk. Live baits are very popular

The peg your dad was fishing if you fish about 3 rod lengths of the far bank there’s a cat hole if you put the deeper over there it will drop of to about 6-7ft cats hold in there I’ve had a 27lb from it aim for the biggest tree to the left 🎣
