When me and my dad would go float fishing when I was younger, in the car on the journey home I would go asleep and he would always wake me by shouting “son ye float!” Always got me 😂

I have a sleeping condition and I'm never awake before 12pm... I miss out on so much.. but this year.. I don't care if I have to stop up all night.. I am going to be on the bank with my 83yr old Dad at 8am to fish on a river.. I want to see the earth waking up around us as we are spending the day together trying to catch.. This video is perfect, as I've never been on the river before and I am really looking forward to it.. All the best for 2023 Carl. Superb channel.

Most people started fishing with this method! Love float fishing! ❤🎣

This channel inspired me to start fishing and i thank you so much for it. I started fishing about 8 months ago and i love float fishing. I'm transitioning into carp fishing but i love going back to basics with a float. thank you so much Carl.

Some good information in this video brother nice one.🎣

Thanks for all the help Carl your always there to help us!

Another lovely video. Thanks Carl. I love float fishing and this video really captures the fun of it.

Fantastic video again float fishing on rivers is my absolute favourite method to use. More please Carl and all the best for 2023 👍

Love how enthusiastic you are in this tutorial it gave me energy to go out and give it a try

I remember starting out fishing with a small float kit off eBay, I had loads of fun before I moved into carp. I wish you great luck with your channel for the new year. I love your channels so much!

River Fisching with You its the BEST 😀😀😀 Thanks 😉👍

All good fishing Carl, river fishing can be very hard work and it’s great you are showing and telling people what it’s all about 👍👍👍👍 nice one.

best channel out there for both entertainment and information

Want to fish the Wey soon. Useful tips for this. Thanks Fishing Tutorials.

Fantastic video Carl! Love the way you make each frame. You motivate me, and give me ideas for my first videos. Keep up the good work, and wish you all the best!🐟💙

Cracking looking fish! 👌

Another enjoyable and inspirational video. Thank you. As a boy my favourite was always float fishing on a very slow flowing water. I loved the anticipation of not knowing if and when I would get a bite, and what it might be. The slower pace meant I could relax and enjoy watching nature as it busied itself around me; water voles were still quite common back in the early sixties. I am moving very soon to a place right next to a back water just off the River Great Ouse, so I will be hopefully able to relive some of those boyhood moments again. I look forward to your videos and I hope you will be able to keep them coming during 2023.

What another amazing video keep them up ❤️👍👍👍

I am just getting prepped to fish again after 30 years away from it. Your videos are invaluable and it makes me wish i had been taught correctly in the beginning!

It's also my favourite fishing technique. Great video. :)

Fantastic video! Take a look into centerpin float fishing! It’s what we use in New York for Salmon and Steelhead Trout!

Carl, your eyes everytime you tell about fisching is an invite to go and try same emotions. Tks a lot.

Great video 🎣 Plenty of bites plenty of fish Beautiful surroundings Can’t get much better 🙌🏻

Thanks so much for sharing, I really enjoyed that:)

Good video carl, as always 👍👌

Love the video,hope you have a nice day

Good video Carl

Cute little carl and alex.... where are the times🥰

Beautifully filmed and produced. Dam you are good x

First and nice video watching it now

Well, I know what I will do when the temperatures start rising again:) Beautiful video again!!

float fishing something we all started with, i actually started fishing on danube and my first day i fished around 12 hours and caught around 150 fish for the first day! next fishing session was competition i got 3rd spot and this still gives some new information that can be used thanks carl. also wondering if you would make video about fishing for zander with the rig that has weight, hook and live fish in Serbia we call it "Muvanje kederom" very productive in winter.

Interesting!!

here in Italy we float fish in rivers a different way. its called “bolognese” and we use long rods ( from 5 to 9 meters long depending on the depth of the river). its interesting to watch how you do it that is so different from our style. great video btw❤❤

Watch 2.38 to 2.42. Magic towel on the front rod holder 🤣 Nice video 🤙

Great vid Carl probally already told you my chub joke about the rollingspams😂

Amazing camera work, probably your best quality

My biggest fish on a float is 16.5kg mirror carp when i was 12y old (I think its 33lbs), few maggots on the hook and tight lines.

Good video Hope you have a great day

Hi Carl! Can you make a video about the differentiations between rods? Like why a Carp rod is a Carp rod and not good for using a float, and all that kind of stuff. I think it would be really helpful for new ones getting on fishing! Tight lines 🎣

you shoudl try the Centerpin, i think youll love it

Yo love ur vids I’m going tomorrow

Много хубаво видео, браво....

I haven't gone flote fishing for i wile i went fishing today at warmwell Fishery caught 2 one 21lb and one 16lb

Great to watch this one - makes me want to go catch some chub and barbel on the Don or Rother. Cheers mate - still loving the channel!

Floated a commercial yesterday and got a 5 lb bream, it was an old boy and really livened up the session as I really expected smaller skimmers roach Rudd etc

I bought myself a centerpin 2weeks ago! I am ready for this new year😁🤣

Lovely part of the river that ;)

Good video Carl.🐟🎣

I just caught my PB carp!!!!!!!!

Can you come fishing with me and my friend Oli

Hi Carl i was wondering if you had any tips for lure fishing in the cold merky water this winter. Love your videos!!!

More of this, but longer and on the main channel!

Hi mate, love the video! What bait waiter stand are you using?

Never disappoints does he😅😅😅😊😅😊😅😊

Went fishing yesterday, caught a few mayan cichlid, one Nile tilapia and a Trimac cichlid. It was a good and bad day cuz they’re all invasive

I’ve been given split advice about starting fishing. This being one method I’ve been recommended. What would you recommend as a good float fishing set up (rod, reel, line etc) for a beginner ? I’d be fishing the great Ouse if that adds to the equation

Good session! Can I ask what stretch of the Severn was this? I recently tried Lincomb Lock on the Severn. First time on the river in years and had a blank with worms and maggots. Both float and ledger fishing.

Lol, I can’t believe people like you can catch a wheelbarrow full of fish in a day and I’ve spent probably around 48 or more hours of my life waiting with a stick and only caught a single undersized carp! I fished at the mouth of Sandon River with my friend who would reel in something every ten minutes, and he said I was using the right tackle and strategy for fishing and everything. I’m just really unlucky I guess XD

Carl have you went to perth in Scotland on the river tay

Hi bud, what kind of kind weight would you recommend for floatfishing on a river for your main line? As always pleasure watching another awsome video of yours

Carl, i have an idea for a video, when is the best time to go fishing.

Where on the seven were you I fish Shropshire stretch.

great video on my local river. im a bit unclear what are the rules on river fishing?

Wish we had great fishing in the northeast England it's terrible the river wear in Durham last year I had 1 minnow laughable really and sad too.

could you tell me the name of the rod you used, pls i lime very much your videos

I'm doing it the other way, didnt do a great deal of float fishing in younger years- lots of feeder/chub and Barbel. I fish the Severn a reasonable amount each season- can I ask what line you used when targeting the Barbel on float? Great vid as ever mate

Hey carl and everyone else. Can i ask a question in reguards to getting distance. Ive been wondering, can you use pvc bags and bait around the hook in order to get better distance and also bait the area while float fishing? Or would it be no good? Is it something you could make a video on while testing? Thanks :)

I still see my float go under when I am asleep or nodding off after a session of float fishing.

Hey. This may be a stupid question... How do you attach your pre-made slider rig to a match rod? I struggle to do it properly it always gets caught in the last grommet.

One question: why you retain the fish/chub during your session?

The monofilament line you're using looks very high quality, which brand is it? Btw very pleasant Video, love the way you enjoy bringing back your childhood memories. Reminds me much of myself :)

What pellets do you guys use for carp fishing like the brand?

Can you put all fish you catch in keep net, or are there some fish you don’t mix

What the arrangements for fishing licences, if you get a rod licence, can you sit and fish on any river that is not on private land

Hello what main line size to use and what hook size

Are long rods really necessary or can I also use my 10 ft pellet waggler rod for this

Hey Carl What rig will you recoment to fish with in 3 feet deep silt?

"whelcom bak to fishing CHEWtorials" lol

I recently got a carp rod and I've been trying to catch a carp. Havent caught one yet... Do you maybe have some tips?

Where’s your reel from ?

Carl

Anyone tell me how you get permission to fish somewhere like this

Small children, do they need rod licence if you take them to a river not on private land

hiiiiii!

Hi, How can I contact you? I don't have Instagram ???
