Very unlucky pal, its been tough fishing since it was frozen over twice in a few weeks. I only managed 7 silvers last sunday but yesterday was a big improvement with a good mixed bag of carp and roach. 2 lads fishing off the car park landed on the carp and couldnt go wrong. Ps the toilet facilities are located down the side of the farm house but they aint for the faint hearted.

i fish it a lot of times my biggest was an 8lbs mirror out of bottom lake

Lol love the PB clam !!

That short holdall is smart mate .

well done another great video

Oh you use those bait stops with a needle... now I get it. Also... Oh there's a tool for making bread bait, now I get that too. Learning so many useful little bits watching this.

I tried using a banded dog biscuit instead of a wafter on the method feeder. They are buoyany just like a wafter. It was an experiment. Worked well! Carp loved it.

Nice vid westy toady I’m going fishing on my local river in london target is barbel but any fish is a treat in london even if it’s a gudgeon😂80% chance of a blank but last session I lost probs a 10lb barble lol it came right up to the net then Powered of any way I’m hopeful for today and thanks for the bread demonstration tight lines To you and your dad and keep it up AnglingWithArt anglingwithart 😂

though winter fishing at its finest lol :)

i fished it this summer brilliant pond more bites off top pond

Great video I fished the peg were your dad was over to far bank on pole but in the summer. never tried bread punch caught mainly on pellet and red maggot had a great day

Looks nice fisheries for summer ..well done yer dad …cheers Chris & Sam

The ball-type floats caught up in the tree sound like either bubble floats or surface controller floats. Generally used for carp fishing when they surface feeding. Another great fishery review. 🐟🐟🐟

Yes I have just googled them, they where bubble floats ! 👌🏻 thanks John

I’ve had an even big clam than that one, out of same lodge but around the other side, I’d never caught one b4, that day over 40 fish mixed bag of silvers, Crucian, tench, perch, carp and even a Chub.

Sounds like a brilliant day mate ! I think if the clam was any bigger it would have been dinner 🐚

Another tough days fishing for you.buddy. The rain isn't bad if your catching but it's wet and miserable if your not!!I've just started using bread punch in the last couple of weeks. I find it hard to keep it on hair rig, (using a quick stop) 9 times out of 10 it comes off within a couple of minutes of casting. Looking forward to the next one where I'm sure you'll be catching again!

In summer fishing about 2 foot of the bank shallow is unreal. Always love fishing German lane

Really enjoyed the video, I much prefer watching you fishing like this, than a "professional" angler catching whatever the weather...or perhaps they don't post when they blank? Most pleasure anglers can relate to this, especially me and the collapsed chair.

Thanks Stewart ! I’m sure it’s not what everyone wants to see and I think it will probably bore some people if I’m not catching… but as you say it’s real it’s true to life and gives people the correct expectations of winter fishing so they realise it’s normal to blank sometimes. The professionals definitely don’t put videos up when they blank and mostly put videos up to sell products not necessarily to help people or Vlog 🎣👌🏻

You nearly took my advice mate with the stop IN the corn but like I said if you use a band and stretch it out though the corn then let it sit in the corn you already have a band on incase you what to Go on pellets Cheers.

I used to use bread for carp floater fishing but the last few years I use fake bread made with pop up mix and dyed white and flavoured it actually looks like real bread and no one does it as far as I'm aware. Being a bait maker I'm always Trying to think out the box but if you come out with a great idea make sure you don't tell a paid field tester for a bait company.Thanks to one guy from a big famous bait company stole it and every carp angler probably has a tub in their bag they stole my design and the name for it Lesson learned on that lol.I love fishing the method for match carp .I've got some small 6ml pop ups and hookbaits I made for testing I do like a mini snow man using the 6mls with the method something different mate.
