Small River Fishing - Big Barbel - Brassy Chub & Perch! (Video 160)
Спорт
Important Notice - This video was not filmed during the current close season, it was filmed during March before the river season ended.
Can I firstly sincerely apologise for not getting around to uploading this current backlog of videos a bit sooner or replying to comments as I had been planning to do (I will be replying to all comments as usual very soon). With the way things have been I have been very depressed and down in myself, verging on suicidal. This is a terrible time right now for everybody. Please stay strong and be there for one and other as it takes a toll on our mental health and well-being we need to be there for those who aren't coping so well.
You join me for a late afternoon trip out on the link leger, the river was fining down quite nicely from some terrible rainfall and recent flooding, the plan was to target only a couple of swims for some of the resident perch and chub, although there would be a welcome additional reward too.
Rod used during this video - Advanta Discovery RVS Rod River Ambush 5.5ft
www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advan...
Reel Used - Goture Spinning Fishing Reel Metal Spool 6bb for Freshwater Saltwater 500 ( I got mine on a very special sale £3.97)

Brilliant video Mark. Your reactions to seeing the barbel the first time and finally landing it were priceless! Most of us know that the first time a barbel gets near the net it's never ready and will scream off. This one wasn't ready for the net at least four times! It was a fantastic example of how a super fit fish behaves and how to keep your head when your heart is in your mouth. You never gave up on landing that fish Mark. You should never give up on life in exactly the same way. It was a joy to watch. Keep it up.

Cheers Ian, one does try to increase their own luck with the application of watercraft, sometimes you get the rub of the green and sometimes not and then there are trips where you think you should have played that weeks lotto. I enjoyed fishing the island syndicate for the one season that i was a member with only a handful of trips but a welcome barbus and plenty of nice bream.

@@francolinobasco Hey Mark, you're welcome. Just to let you know that I work with a lot of people with mental health conditions and count myself in that bracket too. So I really do empathise. Mind are excellent, you're definitely in safe hands there. They are setting up a new App called side by side, which I think will be really useful. You should check it out. This lock down situation is a nightmare for us all so it's even more important to reach out when you're feeling down. Just try to remember that like a river our mental health ebbs and flows. We have good times and bad times. Never expect to "snap out of it", as so many people seem to think we can do. Instead, try not to swim against the tide, find something, no matter how small, that can help you keep your head above water and build on that. One other thing that is really important to remember is that it is not about being happy. Happiness is fleeting and should not last long. It's actually about being content. That's a goal which is far more achievable. I imagine that's why fishing is so important, its peace peppered with excitement and happiness. But most of the time it's seems to me to be about being just content. I think one of the first activities that will be allowed is fishing as it's pretty much a social distancing sport. Fingers crossed you'll be back on the bank soon. Albeit when the season starts again. Have a really good weekend and don't forget to reach out to someone safe when you're feeling down. Cheers. Ben

Great fishing Mark; I've just bought one of those rods; my local river is surrounded by trees, nettles and brambles that make it hard to get to the water with a long rod. Just hope we can get back to it for the glorious 16th June! Awesome barbel and chub you had. Glad that dog couldn't get to you!

Thanks Craig, the rod had its true baptism as you know yourself they are a good range of rods that punch way above their price range. I will pass your kind message on to mum and dad too.
Brilliant 👍🎣🐟
