Has anyone else found tackle shops don’t like to give out as much info as these videos suggest I’ve found most of the time their just like us not wanting to reveal their spots
I have watched many of your videos and love them. I have picked up many many useful tips , thank you. You are very clear without being condescending or arrogant, and I love the way you include your mistakes as well lol. Increased my catch from blanks to a perfect season last year, including an eel and pike off my list.. Any tips for grayling or barbel? Thanks again, brilliant content
Great vid! Had my first fishing outing today on a river, used the trotting method with maggots, 1 fish caught and a few bites. Chuffed. Goung to try some different style hooklengths and baits tomorrow.
This video really hit me hard because fishing has always been more than just a hobby in my family. My dad taught me how to tie my first hook on a quiet Sunday morning by the river, and those little lessons have stayed with me my whole life. Now, every time I sit by the water, it’s like I’m back there with him — patient, calm, and hopeful with every cast. Videos like this remind me that fishing isn’t just about pulling fish from the water, it’s about the memories and the people we share them with. For some it’s friends, for others it’s brothers or fathers, but it always comes back to connection. Thanks for putting out content that’s not only informative, but also heartwarming. You’re helping people create moments that will last long after the rods are packed away. Tight lines to everyone who’s out there making memories. 🎣❤
Hello Carl. Last year my daughter took a photo of you after catching a big carp from Willen north lake MK. I have watched loads of your videos and find most instructional, I recognised the AD fishing tackle shop too, it’s the one I use. I have just started fishing but don’t like lake fishing, I prefer the small river Ouzel. I have watched you fish parts of this very over grown river with The Ginger Fisherman and recognise one or two places to be in MK. I need your advice now as to the best method to fish this river please. I basically remain in the Caldecott Lake area mainly for mobility reasons but find I loose so much tackle in this over grown river. I need help in the shape of advice please. Incidentally, being a pensioner I cannot afford the sophisticated fishing gear you have, I only have basic gear, and MKAA ban wading in to fish so it’s sitting on a bank only.
I loved fishing with my brother. I miss him so much. We fished a lot in our teens. The memories I have regarding Nathan and us fishing and learning together were some of the most beautiful memories I have of my brother Nathan. The world lost a wonderful man and I lost my big brother. I miss you brother, we may meet again if I hurry up and join you.
Thank you. I enjoy watching, listening and learning from you. I'm 77 and have been fishing for 11 years. But I'm going to fish a river for the first time ever in the next couple of days. I'll watch your video a couple of times more then River Mersey here I come. Wish me luck.
Many thanks for those dedicated videos of yours ❤ Did I got that right, he fishes the longer rod actively and leaves the shorter ones in the bang stick passively? Greetings from Germany
Great video. Started fishing only a few months ago, I live 200 yds from the Thames, and with nobody to fish with, progressing from lake fishing to this on my own has been a tricky few visits but after watching this I feel much more confident I know what to do better next time. Thank you so much!
If you ever fancy hitting the Pangbourne/Mapledurham/Purley part of this old river I'd love to join you just to watch. Thanks again.
Hi mate, I'm thinking of doing some river fishing this year and really looking to get a decent rod and reel for floating the river never done it before would love to have a recommendation im looking at diawa rods, or would my carp rods be okay? Not really something I've done before but really keen on having a crack
Thanks for taking the time to give us all river fishing tips I'm an experienced lake /canal fisherman You've definitely helped me out Hopefully fishing the river goyt in the next couple of weeks Thanks again 👍
wauw dit is een gaaf filmpje leerzaam voor mij als beginnend barbeel visser,ik vind het jammer dat wij in nederland niet zulke mooie viswateren hebben,en dan doel ik op al die rivieren in engeland,hoe geweldig moet het niet zijn om daar te mogen en te kunnen vissen.misschien moet ik toch maar eens gaan over wegen om dit jaar de rivieren op te zoeken in engeland het lijkt me heerlijk en een hele unieke bijzondere speciale ervaring.
Top fishing mate I have been coarse fishing in Australia off and on for a fue years. Watching your video on float fishing I’ve learnt a bit more where never to old to learn I’ve mostly used the float fishing tactics for fishing for Trout with a lot of success over the years. I’ve been a Member of a fishing club for many years but even tho I’ve tryed to encourage the Members to coarse fish none of them are willing to try it I’m the only one who coarse Fishes in the Club. Coarse Fishing is still very small in Aus. Regards. Laurie from down under. Tight Lines.
Hey Carl, what is the name of the 'bait stand' that you're using in this video? I would like to float fish on rivers the coming months and I was actually looking for a solution to have my bait with me. Thanks
I can hardly believe how you explain all the little details needed . I’m 72 still mobile and going back to fishing after thirty years your videos are invaluable. Many thanks.

Last time I've been fishing was with my grandma when I was 6. I'm 41 now and forgot everything due to alot of weed n drinking. Gotta relearn 😢
I loved fishing with my brother.
I miss him so much.
We fished a lot in our teens.
The memories I have regarding Nathan and us fishing and learning together were some of the most beautiful memories I have of my brother Nathan.

Will this work similar on canal?
Hitting the river tomorrow for the first time and this video was very reassuring and helpful so thank you! Hoping to grab a few Chub at least!
whats the name of what your wearing? i really want one of those to protect me from the water.
great video thanks, can i ask though why does the line need to drop faster in the deeper water by adding more weights.
sorry probably a dumb question what's a keepnet do and what's it for?
Hi Carl would you float fish for grayling?
Many thanks for those dedicated videos of yours ❤ Did I got that right, he fishes the longer rod actively and leaves the shorter ones in the bang stick passively? Greetings from Germany

Very cool video. 1 thing i dont understand are the massive rods? Look like surf rods.. lol whats the power and action?
Learned a lot cheers
Any chance I can know the line? Perfect tutorial Carl
Met you at winder carp shows I believe 2016 /17

At the slow down part, do you you pull your float up the river when you bring your rod back to being straight or do you keep it at down stream

Caught a HUGE roach while float fishing today. Was pretty happy
Does it matter if my float is really big or do I just counter it with weights? I’m going to try fishing the Tyne
Dude’s video is beautiful
Camera name plz
Hi Carl, very nice video, 5*, have you tried fishing with a float and CenterPin reel? Thanks to L.
Hey Carl, what is the name of the 'bait stand' that you're using in this video? I would like to float fish on rivers the coming months and I was actually looking for a solution to have my bait with me.
Thanks
Great tip on the Guru heli swivel, especially with baits spinning. I’m sure I’ve seen Mr Graham Pullen fishing that swim. 🎣🎣
How much is a dayticket from Woody's?
What brand/model of float do you use?
Great video, lots of tips. Thanks again and to your camera operator.
Looks very relaxing .
Great video enjoyed watching got to give it a go with the float keep them coming 😉👍🏻
You should come to Bangladesh for float fishing.. We're best at it.
It is a very nice way to fish in flowing river.
Yet another awesome instructional video!
I can hardly believe how you explain all the little details needed . I’m 72 still mobile and going back to fishing after thirty years your videos are invaluable. Many thanks.
