    Hi Paul - Hope all is well. Keeping an eye out for the next video! 🤞 Do you believe the trout to be wild or stocked fish that have strayed down river? Thanks

    Hi Elliott, won't be long till next video, had a well earned break from it but made a video yesterday. Hard to tell on the Trout, could easily be either or. Trout are stocked into the darent regularly but I have never caught a small one which makes me think they don't breed very well. This surprises me as the habitat looks ideal and I have seen reeds in the gravels before * I think that's what the dents in gravel are called when Trout spawn. Tights lines. I'm off making a pike video!

    I know what you mean about expensive breaks because I’ve got a Preston and a garbolino pole in the shed needing new sections. Learning to pole fish has been an expensive experience. I nearly brought a new G90 but the shop owner talked me down to the power carp instead because as he said the amount of pole fishing I would do over 13 m would be negative so the extra £1000 would be a waste of money. Keep them coming fella I always enjoy them.

    I hope you had another go, with the line re spooled. There's a lot of muscle memory involved in centrepin fishing. If you persevere it'll soon become more natural. You'll find that your thumb is a comfortable way to control the spool (line off the bottom). It's a really rewarding way to fish once you get comfortable with it.

  • @PaulVicaryfishing
    @PaulVicaryfishing3 ай бұрын

    Thanks for watching. Great advice, I have respooled and it was better, have found the low gearing tricky when bullying Chub away from snags as you cannot gain line quick enough. I do love the constant contact with the float, but found it does drag the float everso slightly. The constant contact aspect has led be to improve my "backwinding" a float off a fixed spool which is equally as good and can still gain line quickly. I will need to upgrade as the real handle and body are not one piece and the line tends to get caught in the gap.( any excuse to buy more fishing gear)

    Looked lovely down there Paul, those drains/sewers down there hold some cracking fish. When I fished Darenth many moons ago a guy who basically lived on the tip lake and whose name escapes me ended up in a loony bin through carp fishing and my eldest brother decided to pack it in cos he wasn't catching, he'd phone me up in the middle of night asking if it was this or that he was doing wrong. I asked a guy I met in the car park at Sevenoaks last summer who looked bedraggled and totally pissed off how he'd got on he looked at me and said he'd just finished his 48th night without a bite😲😲, I thought that perhaps he should have a go for another species, another guy I've got to know quite well as we've been fishing the same lake has finally had a couple of decent carp after five years of blanking yet he always has a smile on his face and we have a good laugh, everybody is different, some can handle it, some can't. That's why I enjoy having a go for different fish every now and then.. ust thought I'd tell a few stories lol
