In this session we meet some new faces, a few shout outs and some proper random content but more importantly this video is dedicated to my late brother Andy... RIP Bro.......
To be honest matt,I watch you because I want to.....not because you show the latest rigs etc etc or fish the best waters,you are what you are you do what you do,keep on doing it👍
Sorry to here about brother Maff . Glad you caught a fish and dedicated to him. Love your laughter for all things kind keep fishing brilliant helping that Swan 👏 👍
Them bleeding swans are a pain Russ but nobody wants to see it struggle like it was ... ironically i was only able to catch it because it was a greedy bugger LOL
Maff, I enjoy your stories, you are a genuine bloke and this is why I watch. I hope you find peace and I am so sorry for your loss. May the next fish you catch be in honour of a good brother and in rememberance to those good times. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great vlog Sir. Sorry to hear about you brother. Could tell by the smile on your face, when talking about him. How much he ment to you. and cracking work on the swan rescue x
So sorry to hear about your brother Maff. Me and my families thoughts are with you and your family. I know how hard it can be to lose people close to you so massive respect to you for continuing the fishing/camping videos with everything going on. I love every one of your videos because you tell a very good story and make us viewers feel part of the journey. Well done on another superb video and look forward to the next. Outstanding effort 👌
@@MaffTUK On another note i believe the reason a lot of people fold the corners of pva bags is to make them more aero dynamic.This is however only really relevant if casting over 100 yards. It first remember seeing an angler called Ian Poole making a bag back in 2002 and by compressing the bag and folding the corners the finished bag ended up as tight as a drum and cast like a bullet. After that i began to notice more and more folk began to fold the corners.
Hi Matt, firstly my deepest condolences to you and you family. I also want to say that I love your videos, you show what your fishing/camping/ hiking/ shooting etc is all about, it`s you enjoying yourself, like we should all be doing, not trying to score points over each other by saying, I`ve caught more/ bigger than you. Keep going pal an we`ll stay with you.
Phil ..... firstly thank you for your comment we are all fine and I really appreciate that. AND I really like this comment you nailed it Phil 100% that is exactly how i feel about the it ...im just having fun and sharing it. Thank you. regards Matt
Well done for unhooking that Swan Maff. Us Anglers come in for a lot of stick from The RSPB, RSPCA and other bodies, so It's good to see that in a fishing video of one of us helping a swan out and looking after it. I hope others follow your lead. Also, I'm very sorry to hear about your Brother. I was lost when my Dad went back in 2019 but looking back it's good to do what you were doing and remembering all the good memories of trips you shared together. It helps you grieve and sure enough it gets easier. If you're ever in Wales or fancy a trip here, I'll take you (and Dave) up to fish a real jewel in the crown of a water and we'll crack open a bottle of Jamesons and Drink to your Brother and My Dad. Take care mate. Matt
Sadly Matthew we seem to get bad press regarding wild life but I believe we see more wildlife than most, how many anglers upload the setting sun or early morning mist and who doesn’t want the kingfisher on the tip of the rod. As you know Matt most of us totally love the outdoors. but I'm real glad i got that rig off its head, it wasn't going to come out on its own, would love to come down and crack the neck of a Jameson's, i may take you up on that. 👍👍
@@MaffTUK Sadly most anglers would have just reported the leader on the swan to the Bailiff or maybe the RSPB and not gone to the trouble of getting it off but you're a kind bloke and we see that in your videos. You also have a great sense of humour (you and Dave) and an infectious laugh. I fish with a 73 year old Irish bloke with a love of single malts (The two of us met in the cancer department of the hospital as we both had family members with cancer.) We've fished together ever since. I'm sure it would be great fun if us four ever meet up.
Keep doing what your doing maff 👍 we all enjoy these videos for the stories, the laughs and the jokes (and drinking 🤣). Rip to your bro Andrew, but atleast you have your fishing to thank him for 👍 get on the bank soon, all the best and tight lines 👌
My sinserist condolences on the passing of your brother he sounded like a lovely person and I bet he would be so proud of you especially because he helped you get hooked on fishing. The reason I love watching your videos is that you include everything from catching and blanking and even when things go rong I cant stand the videos that are perfect with a catch everytime and perfect lighting and I really enjoy your stories please keep them coming. And the new mic is really good and very clear
Sorry for your loss Matt! But you've got some great memories mate, know those beaches you mentioned living in Sherborne. Well done on the fish and that bloody Swan! Atb mate!👍❤
Thanks Paul ... I was a Crewkerne lad until moving to the bright lights of Blackpool LOL now Lancaster... although i will never forget my first dog fish off West Bexington under the light of a paraffin anchor lamp with my new rod and reel bought for me by my bro! ... oh the memories
Hi Maff sorry for your loss my friend keep remembering the good times you had and over time it does getting easier. Great video and a great tribute to your brother congrats on the captures ( yes the eel to ) and what you did for the Swan was first class your a top man. Until next time take care and stay safe my friend.
Hi Clive, thank you mate, We lived far apart but I'm glad to say we did keep in touch, for that alone I'm so grateful. Thanks again Clive, regards Matt
Great video mate and very sorry for your loss. We'll done on the capture and fair play to you for rescuing that swan of that death rig. Great sticker too! 👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣
If i ever loose that bucket im going to be gutted, mate thank you for you comment (respect) , yes death rig indeed that poor swan was doomed i had to do something. Always the gent Chris Thank you, regards Matt
My heart goes out to you about your bro pal recently been there so I know the feeling 😔 💔❤️❤️❤️ not long found your channel and your vids have inspired me to fight to get back to the bank after a stroke so thank you for that 🙏 😊
Thank you WF for you kind words........... Ironically I had just commented to another chap that "I really enjoy making these videos and some of the great comments i get make it very much worth it" although i hate to call you Wazark Face but that is your title, This is exactly what i mean, thank you so much for saying that and i really hope you manage to wet a line soon enough and make sure when you get your first fish back out of the water let me know Tight lines WF and it is i that should be thanking you sir
Maff sorry to hear about your brother i could see your pain as you was reminiscing about your adventures together and lovely to dedicate this video to him and well done on the captures and what a star removing that rig from the swan your really are a top guy and i love your vlogs and how you present them and hopefully i will get to meet you on the bank one day, take care Maff. 👍👍🎣🎣
Wayne, Thank you for your kind words Yeh my bro was a real funny lovable gent one of the best. Always a beer for you if i see you on the bank Wayne. regards Matt
Rest In Peace Andrew, your fight was long and arduous, you can rest now. My condolences to the family Maff. Removing that rig from the swan's head...YOU SIR ARE A TRUE CARER YOU OLD SOD!
The only reason i managed to get that rig off its head ? .......because it was a greedy bastard LOL, glad i did Sam that was a death rig and if it had got caught up in rocks or a tree that would have been the end of it.... couldn't leave that Sam
Sam thank you for your support, your sense of humor over the years is not to dissimilar to my bro's , you cant beat a good piss take and i look forward to future piss takes (as it should be)
@@MaffTUK I shall endeavour to keep Andy's spirit alive with the pisstaking, japery and general tomfoolery. Bless you mate and thank you for the nice words.
May I add my condolences to others who have commented following the loss of your brother, Andrew. May he rest in peace. A really enjoyed vlog as always Maff, and what a variety of catches. Lol. I have never fished Kellet, but I hope to do so sometime this year, especially as it is only 45 minutes drive for me. Keep up the excellent vlogs Maff, because they are different to the norm, but that is what makes them so enjoyable.
Hi Maff it was nice to hear you talk about your beloved brother quite funny to hear how you both had good laughs, also to hear you talk of old haunts being a cornish boy I've spent many happy hours at some of them thanks for sharing just remember Andrew is up there chuckling away at your antics RIP Andrew
Hi Rob, honestly he had the best sense of humor, We lived in Crewkerne so didn't take long for us to get anywhere to wet the line, I remember those days so clearly and catching my first dog fish off West Bexinton, fantastic memories
I have been watching your blogs for some time now. My brother and I have also been to Bigot lakes based on your France vlogs. Keep up the great work, and my condolences for for loss.
My Condolences to you and your family Maff....I share your outlook and appreciate what I can do...even going to work...as many sadly cannot...I've shown my appreciation for all your hard work on these videos in the past, and would like to again, your work is much appreciated....long may it continue, by far my favourite on RU-vid, take care mate !!....Here's to a good summer !!...👍

So sorry for your loss mate but thanks so much for sharing yourself with us buddy your brother sounds like how a brother should be a dependable loveable guidance of lifes lessons and pleasures big hugs and best wishes to you all and a big subscribe from me for your future adventures 😊
Sorry to hear of your loss. The reason you fold the corners over on the pva is to help with the aerodynamic while casting, keep up the videos they are great.
Thank you Maff, you are appreciated. you're right u are sharing stories and that makes your channel more personal, theres plenty of videos with rig clinics etc but there dime a dozen and i much rather be entertained than informed . keep doin what your doin and in your own time pal, all the best. RIP Andy.

Just watched your session from Clearwater and really enjoyed it, sorry about your brother who you dedicated your fish to I’m sure you miss him a lot but keep up the good work and I’m certain you’ve lost some more weight again keep up the good work mate
Brother maff maximum total respect to you for catching an releasing that swan from a most certain death mate, not alot of us left that would go through the trouble of doing that mate RESPECT 👍
I feel your pain mate. Hope your brother is at peace now, life is so short and time is so precious, we should all try and make the most of the time we have to do what we love to do. Great that you’re outside and catching, take it easy, peace.
Andrew thankyou for your continued support but more importantly thank you for your kind words i really do appreciate it I nearly went to Bluebells for this session but it was too late to travel when i got the go ahead. thank you again, kind regards Matt
Condolences mate but lovely tribute and great vid as always maybe see you on the bank at Clearwater sometime would be a pleasure Take Care and tight lines
Class again Maff. Was on Kellet last night in 70 mph winds. Was watching your vids up until it got crazy. Sorry to hear about your bro. Keep up the solid content. Please could you give Big Brad Carsley a shout out on your next vid. He’s been struggling to pull a carp out of Kellet the last 4 sessions we’ve done and is a bit downhearted with it. All the best 👍🏻
Sorry for your loss Maff, keep on with the fishing stories we all get bored with the same old rig clinic vlogs on you tube. The reason for folding down the corners on PVA bags is supposedly it makes them more aerodynamic!! makes no difference to me they still end up in a tree!!!
Was cursing you last night maff first night in hammock woke up at 4 on my arse woppie sling kept slipping but was an amazing nights sleep though felt like I was floating then thought thank god I clicked on ur fishing video and which lead to hammocking best night sleep outdoor mate
Love your videos mate so down to earth take no notice of what people say if they don't like it don't have to bloody well watch it do they keep up the good work ps so sorry to hear about your brother even if I didn't know him
My condolences Maff. I will be camping at the Cragg Hill Farm, Settle at Sunday 23 of April. If possible it would be great to meet up. Greetings Dimitri

Hi Russ, I'm fine thank you I'm afraid work has a nasty habit of taking over my life every now and then which i try to avoid as best possible. But i do have some things planed coming up of which there will be a very short video uploaded tonight explaining such an event. thank you for your comment Russ much appreciated, regards Matt
What you do is get a really big, really heavy sinker. Tie it on your line. Cast it and conk the swan in the head, knock it out, then the fish can get some of the bait. LoL. Kidding of course.
June.... no i think your right.... i was thinking a 1lb lead weight to ask the swans if they would like to F~#k @ff LOL and of course we have to end with the obligatory "just kidding" so the woke snowflake trolls dont wet their pants with a potential new target.......LOL
