Does anyone else find Marks videos relaxing to watch?

I'm really enjoying your videos mate. I absolutely cannot wait until the new season after a 10 year break from the rivers!

Great Video, what a shame the world is not full of nice people like you Mark

Another enjoyable watch Mark, like toast and marmalade, winter and Chub, go together a most obliging fish

This man is a class act - big thumbs up ... great vid - thank you

As ever, a wonderful and enjoyable watch; well done Mark. You truly are the Chub Meister!

fantastic as ever Mark

Normally i'm a fair weather angler, but you just convinced me to go out next week and do a spot of chub or barbel fishing. Love the video! The way you capture the quiet and calm of fishing, followed by the sheer excitement of hooking into one, really great editing.

very much enjoying your videos Mark, great channel and a pleasure to watch, thanks bruv!

👍👍👍thanks for another great video Mark, keep on churning.

Stunning quality fishing video as always!

Great video mark the best yet and some stunning chub well done.

Brilliant!!Good work mate, loving the videos!

chub fishing is the best. loved the video

Thanks for sharing such a superb trip, well done.

Great start to the year for you Mark , some beautiful chevins you had. That River looks awesome & is full of Chubby looking swims, Another great watch... Thanks for sharing & tight lines on your next session ;)

Hello Mark. I've only recently found your video's and I have to say what a breath of fresh air you are. Its a pleasure to watch you fishing because you just get on with it. Too many anglers bore us to death when they try push their favourite hooks or line or knots on us, you just fish and to be honest I think you're video's are the best I've seen. I have subscribed so please keep them coming my friend.

another fantastic video mark, no need to apologize, your channel is a reflection of your fishing. could watch chub fishing every week :-)

Perfect chub mate can’t wait for the new season it will be my first trying river fishing tight lines mate god bless

Another smashing video Mark. That looks a cracking little river. love my Chub fishing, probably my favourite species.

Awesome as always

Loved it 👍🏼 Tip Top Angling mark...

Hey Mark, nothing wrong with Chub fishing,one of the finest fish to catch but that's only my opinion.Great work, keep it up.

Superb days fishing mark some good quality chub and another great video well-done.

Another cracking session mark well done mate and keep up the good work

Good to see you are catching mark...

Greetings mark... great start to the year for you. Gotta love a chub .... typing this as I sit under my brolly on a cold, wet colne valley lake on a 48hr session..... no joy as yet... all the best.

Don't appologise for showing us your chub techniques mate! there are a lot of niche, fishing specific breed vids around, and it is good to show how you go about targetting chub in this type of water, I for one really love this info and hope to get some success following your advice! regards.

love it when the camera is behind u and we can c the rod tip and still listen 2 u other ppl may bare this in mind when doing there videos

Nice video Mark, thanks for that. For me, these videos are a bit like a quick 25 minute lunchtime fishing trip (without the 4 hour waits between fish)...love it.

excellent as usual mark, start the year as you mean to go on 👍

Nice video Mark, some lovely Chub :)

Hi Mark, my Partner has just found your videos and has enjoyed them immensely. We're in Perth, Western Australia but he's originally from London & says this has brought back many fond memories. (Fishing in the Swan River in Perth is ok, but there's no comparison) 😉 Keep up the great work & thank you Sir.

Very nice catches! just got my PB chub here on a small river a couple days ago, 52 centimeters.

Nice to watch cracking chub, I hope to be out there on the river soon 🎣

Some cracking fish there Mark, proper Chub have eluded me upto now. Going all out for a big Severn chevin this year.... if the Barbel let me.

Lovely mate. Had quite a few in the end. An enjoyable day by the looks of it :D Funnily enough, I got told off for posting 3 canal videos in a row, and was told to go chub fishing. Maybe next week... Or not, who knows! - So much to do, before those rivers close.

brilliant vblog, some fantastic fish there. I've got to get back to roving the rivers again. got so wrapped up chasing 2 big carp. miss wondering the river banks in search of big chub and bream and not carrying ton of gear 3 of everything. going to dust off that quiver and get out there . inspiration :-)

Another hard earned reward Mark and another excellent video , we all lose some fish once in a while but it was entertaining to watch your reaction as i am sure we ALL feel that way when we do?. My first ever fish was a Chub ( so many years ago ) in a very small river on bread , so i have a love also for that species , it was in the Tiny River Tove at a place called Bozenham Mill near where i used to live in Northamptonshire , i used to fish either the River there or the nearby Canal at least 3 times a week. Sometimes after school in summer I would walk the 3 miles to these places just to get some time in . This brings me on to my next point. The River had lots of Undercut banks ( it was , probably still is ? ) along its twisty length between the Canal and the little road bridge , i didnt have any quiver tip rod or ledgering rod back then , i just had my little 9ft glass rod and a 3 metre lerc glass fibre pole , but i remember reading ( Angling Times ) an article on Touch Ledgering and gave it a go. It took me a few trips to perfect but it was a case of learning how to get the bait into the undercut bank and keep it static whilst a bite developed , i had chub to 4lb 6ounce , i was 12 back then . So have you ever done a Video on Touch ledgering ?, i think you would find it very rewarding, never any Barbel back in those days , so it will be worth it freelining a big bait for either species . Personally its something i have not done for about 15 years , but i think i might try and do it again soon down here in surrey where i now live , on some of the smaller rivers.

another enjoyable video mark never apologise for a chub fishing video, that's my favourite species to catch this time of year 😊

Great chub adventure :)

Enjoying your videos mate :) Making me jealous fishing the Yorkshire rivers :)

NICE ONE FELLA AND DONT WORRY MORE CHUB THE BETTER TOP NOTCH ANGLER TIGHT LINES DUDE

yup.indeed mate. reminded me of drunken nights in bavarian beerkellers!! lol

Liking all your videos mate don,t mind watching your chub videos as i want to make these my next target on my hit list

would love to see a vid on all your kit!!! FISHING TACKLE is another passion of mine!!! Also trotting for chub n roach would be a great vid especially with ur talents!!!

Top effort mark, inspired me to get out there

Top video again Mark. Thank you!! So good to see someone enjoying and caring for the river and the fish. Be good to show some fishing critics how it should be done!! Well done and thank you Gav..

loving the bull rush rod rest good work mate keep it up

What a session, Mark. Still hungry for my first 5, ha. Cheers and tight lines.

a true specimen angler, well done ! I'm a bit gelous on you english anglers because you know to protect youre specimens, chub is my favorite species, I've been fishing them since a small boy in the avon that's in my backyard and they dont get to grow bigger than 3lb, I'm happy to see there is a place where they are left to dye of old age

Very nice Mark. What better way to spend an evening? Well done!

That cheese paste kicks mark I'm not jealous at all.

Great vids Mark. Wouldn't mind seeing some winter barbel action!

Super session again mark,and we'll deserved your a nice guy! PS. may I be so bold to ask you to show a close up of the detail of your rigs and set ups for the guys in future. Regards.

Great vid again and highly successful trip there with those Chub. To catch two of five pounds in one session is fantastic and with the 4 and 3 pounders just tops it off as being a great all round active Chub fishing session. With the hook pull did you actually lose the hook?

Lovely!

First video I've watched of yours Mark. Fantastic stuff, real pleasure to watch. Quick question, what tc is your rod for these rivers? Many thnx

Hi Mark, Great video's, I am trying to blog my fishing too, I was wondering what editing tools you use mate, Thanks in advance

PIĘKNY KLEŃ .

No need to apologise whatsoever mark,if you want to go chubbing. As usual,it`s a great video,what ever you go fishing for and in these often challenging winter conditions,chub are normally very obliging,when other fish just don`t seem interested.Where you were fishing,looks ideal for trotting with a pin reel........I`d of been very tempted,esspecially as I`m making some perch bobs and chubber type floats at the min.The trouble is,you can`t really cast them into those tight spots like a ledger set up.Tight lines mark,all the best .

👍👍👍👍👍 excellent video mark as usual. Keep the chub videos coming never get bored of looking at chub. There such a wonderful species to catch at this time of year. Just a quick question what type of landing do you use?. Looking to purchase a new net my gardner pan is had its day

Great video as always Mark, really enjoyed that with the anticipation of the tip going round I was reaching for the rod at the same time. Out of interest what camera are you using at the moment?

brilliant stuff mark loddon again? kennet is still fishing immensely hard looking at targeting the thames next season , your vids always make me want to wet a line keep going mate

That's some good chub fishing well done mate I've really struggled on the rivers to get anything over a pound

Just bought a pair of JW QUATTRO rods custom built! matched with daiwa ss1600 tournement reels!!! these do me for chub/barbel/perch/tench!!! even thought iva a pair of greys for roach n perch!!! the rest is KORUM!!! defo want to see a vid on kit mark! has u have inspired me to purchase a pair 11ft 1 1/5lb rods matched with a pair of centre pins!! could do with a good conversation about this!!!

hi Mark. you've got the thumbs up on that blog mate cracking session! could you please show us the link ledger rig in a closer detail and shoe us how you allow the ability to lengthen and shorten the rig without breaking it down? and how do you incorporate the large shot on the running ring bead, is it attached to the bead by a swivel of some description? well done on another quality blog!!

Great vid again Mark only wish the medway would start fishing still banging my head against a wall.

Nice video fella! What backpack is that? Looks smart and compact!

Well done Mark, another great day out. Any chance of a Big Roach trip?

Great video Mark as ever. One thing, you persisted after that pull and clobbered that five. I'd always assumed losing one would kill the swim and usually move on. Am I wrong? Thanks David

Hi Mark I have just seen latest video what a great way to start 2017 .I am just trying to back into chub and barbel fishing .I have been targeting bass pike and mullet for the last few years .Can you please let me know how you prepare and use your bird seed ground bait . Many Thanks Mick Hopwood

Hi Mark great vids and ridiculous sized chub! could you tell me the net and pole you are using, it looks substantial and would be interested in purchasing one. keep them coming there are excellent.i am a chub fan too, brilliant scrappers, wish i could catch one anywhere near your weights.i fish the river tees northeast.

Brilliant

Hey Mark, Nice vid as usual Why not use a light seat or matt when you rove? You don't get wet and cold??

Some lovely chub there Mark, well done. How many and what size shot did you have on you link.

Another superb video Mark, and a new camera by the looks of it?

Great video do some small River pikeing

Do you work in the tackle industry? I reckon you would be an awesome tackle shop owner the way you explain things is wicked and you make everything look simple

Nice productive 1st session for the year, glad you had some fish. Can I suggest when you have camera rolling, that you add some light (few lines) running commentary at each spot rather than summing up at the end. The commentary helps to keep the viewer interested rather than waiting for you to get a bite. i.e. Indicate what bait you are using at any particular spot, what bait is most productive, and why you choose particular spots to catch the chub or other species. Look forward to your next video.

well done mark, you was going to let me know of any free or day ticket river fishing in your area mainly for chub, cheers mate

Hi Mark enjoyed your video yet again well done what hook do you like to use for your fishing with cheese paste and lobworm Cheers Trev

Always good videos , im going , to England this summer for fishing , any good spots

Hi, I was just wondering, would you use pastry or bread to make your cheese paste, does it matter, why would you use pastry instead of bread or bread instead of pastry. Also, what rig would you if for small rivers for chub? Sorry for all of the questions. also, your fishing videos are brilliant and so helpful. I've watched loads of the chub videos. Thanks for your help and time From Jack

hi mark in one of your vids for feeder mix you mention horse feed which one and how is it prepared thanks alan

Hi mate what size hook do you use for fishing the bread please

Some clonking Chub Mark,how heavy was your link leger 3or 4 Swan shot?.

Mark, I notice you don't often use a chair or seat when river fishing.Don't you feel the damp or are they a specialist trousers that you wear? Looking forward to this years batch of videos. And don't apologise for making another Chub video, I love watching them. The quality of your videos are 2nd to none on RU-vid. The picture quality makes the viewer feel like they are there with you. Have you ever fish the rivers in the midlands?

ATLEAST YOUR ACCTUALY GETTING OUT THER DOING VIDEOS FOR USE BECASUE THER ARE PEOPLE OUT THER HOW CANT BE FUKED EVEN THO THAY TO HAVE SUBCRIBERS SO JUST CARRY ON YOUR PERFECT AT IT FELLA
