When you take a big double whammy hit to your wellbeing like that, then I can’t think of a better way to help soothe and heal yourself than being outdoors in the cold clear air and amongst the beauty of nature. If it’s good for the soul it’s good for the mind. Great video, simple no fuss fishing. Thank you Ben for sharing it with us. All the best and hope you find the time to do get out and do it again soon. 😊👍🏼
Great video Ben glad to hear your on the mend.i had a walk round there last week when it was frozen solid -gin clear and very weedy.used to fish it years ago had some good bags and nice to see the chub are still there.there used to be some decent tench as well.lets hope Leeds ac get the weed sorted as its a good venue for kids to wet a line.onwards and upwards .
Have to admit first time i have seen one of your videos ben. Loved it now a subciber keep up the good work , like you I have struggled to get out on the bank but it's worth it when we make the effort.
Hi Peter I'm not a fan of inline pole floats other than jiggas. Water inside makes the float bristle sit differently etc. Chianti style are good for f1s & silvers through the water on the drop with strung out 10s 11s etc,. 0.1 is a buy light for carp, I dont go below 0.2 for carp as it's simply not stable enough.
Keep your fishing simple???? You're fishing a puddle sat on all that scaffolding that's unecessary that costs a bomb. Simple my arse. A cheap chair, rod and reel in that place would get the same results. fishermen like you have bought into thinking the more you spend and more tackle you've got will make you better at catching fish. Bollocks....being born a natural angler is priceless....people like you are paying through the nose for what a good fisherman gets for next to nothing.
Thanks for not explaining what F1's are. (Turns out F1 carp is a genetic cross between a Common carp and a Crucian carp - we call them Silver Crucian in Eastern EU)
Hi Ben, I recently had a rush of blood and went out and bought my first pole. I then discovered the mine field associated with pole floats. Your video has helped no end. It's by far the most in deapth yet easy to follow one I've found, thank you. The follow up one you mention regarding sizes would be most appreciated.
Hi Ben watched this video on mxc hooks and thought I would give them a try and wow I'm so glad I did in 45 years of fishing I never found a hook as good now its all I use such a great informative video keep up the work mate see you on the Bank soon
Wish I seen this video much earlier. I just kitted out my new drennan red range 11m with all slik elastic one got 10-12 12-14 14-16 as my venue is natural and has plenty of snags and lots of big lumps in avage 6lb with them going up to 14lb. Got to say my favourite is most definitely 14-16 yellow as it just gets job done. Great video Ben. Thanks 😊
