When this great man is no longer with us, which i hope is another lifetime away, i hope the angling world realises the impact hes had on our past time. Thank you Danny
I met him at the northern show a few years back, my missus thought we were mates he was asking all about my baby girl asking about my fishing really nice guy. As we walked off my missus said how do you know him ?? She thought he was another punter at the show who knew me. Top man
We had embryo at our club Lake to price the installation of an otter fence one year later we have now got the otter fence cannot fault the lads and the company especially James Turner for. coming round with us to measure up big respect for Danny Fairbrass he has done so much for the fishing industry now our club Lake is safe from otters❤👌👌👌👌👌👌
Amazing podcast, I am a fan of the idea of embryo. Would love to see more waters with good rules and more etiquette over here in belgium (I fish the low stock lake) and like Dan toched on doggy dog and swim rotation killing it for the normal anglers ... so would love to see more embryo waters over here in Belgium. Keep it going guys
Great podcast tons of info from dan... he's seriously set the bar mega high and the futures bright.. gets so much stick from jealous anglers and there's no need.....just hope embryo can capture more lakes in the northwest of England... us northerners are made of harder stuff than southerners hahaha Great work fellas
Nothing but respect for what Dan has put back into our beloved past time if he had done this for any another sport he probably would of been knighted 👏🏻
What a Great Selfless Person Danny is my only Gripe is I wish Korda would lead the way to cease production of fake baits which if swallowed by carp can be fatal!
Don’t loose feed them then!!! 😂 Seriously though, most fake baits if actually swallowed by the fish will just pass through them in the vast majority of cases. The main issue would be a smaller fish with a smaller GI tract being unable to pass a large fake bait through it easily. Carp will ingest far larger items that they don’t fully crush with their phyrangeal teeth & plastic baits won’t swell inside the fish unlike unprepared particle can. What should be of more concern is that plastic baits don’t degrade leaving cracked off rigs ‘live’ still. Way too many people fish under-gunned still nowadays claiming it’s ’to enjoy the fight’ yet will still just attempt to crank the fish in holding the rod low like a match angler.
Danny is so important for fishing without him it would be in a worse place what he has done for carp and matchfishing is emmence should be Sir Danny Fairbrass
We have natural England to thank for reintroduction of otters with no thought for anything else if we don't protect ALL fishing and not private fenced pools we are fucked natural fishing is the best fishing u can do no named fish,fixed swims,less rules and the unknown just u against the dish which is what I love haven't been to a commercial carp pool in 10+yrs I know 1 baliff who shot 12 otters last year alone on his waters and 1 of the biggest day ticket complexes in uk we need to protect fishing as a whole otherwise there will be only fenced fisheries which will become overrun and can charge what they want
I've a question why is it only korda who are creating waters home and away where the fuck is NASH FOX TRAKKER RIDGEMONKEY..any one stepping up from the other big carp fishing manufacturers I could list more 🤔 korda don't have to pump money into the future but because one man who has the love of fishing wants to see it grow. Take a step back 30 years ago and see where it all started .. in his mum's kitchen. Definitely want to get out and fish some of the European waters.
Danny is a legend in the game!! All these huge companies that have sat back and done nothing once again team Korda and embryo came to the rescue ❤ this man is humble and genuine.
dan the eels declined because of over fishing of the elvers [baby eels ] the EA wont say this because they made a lot of money by brining in a licence for the nets used to catch them also there was no elver fishery to control the numbers taken so it was never controlled in any way ,it is one of a few industries that let you take the young stock as well as the mature stock this speaks for its self ,1kilo of elvers equals 3000 baby eels the average catch per fisherman per night was between 1kilo to 50kilo plus , the price per kilo was around £350 per kilo i fished for them from the age of 16 until 45. when they were no long in numbers worth fishing for , eels where the main diet of the otter , no wonder it turned to easy pond fish , its some thing the idiots that let them go did not even know about .the elver was also the biggest food source for river fish at one time .ps ,a big thank you for all you are doing for fishing, ATB
I thought that there was a parasite which attacked their swim bladder. I remember reading about a study done which tracked eels as they returned to spawn and found that they were constantly either swimming up to the surface to feed at night, or travelling back down to deeper water to be safer from predators for the daylight hours. The eels with the parasite couldn't control their depth so basically dropped over the continental shelf and basically staved before reaching their spawning grounds in the Sargasso sea. Obviously, over fishing, pollution and predation hasn't helped numbers either, bit of a perfect storm of negative factors all contributing to their decline
@@dispatchteam729 yes that also it affected the silver eels going back to sea to spawn they could not get down to the depth to mate , it came from imported eels from china for the pie and mash shops , some escaped and caused the problem , but the damage was done by over fishing the elvers , leaving less and less eels to migrate back to the sargasso sea as you point out , and very few elvers coming back.
We need more people like DF in this country, keep up the good work. From selling leads out a carrier bag 30 years ago to spending £9M putting back into the sport is staggering.
Met so many great people at norton disney. Some i may speak to for years to come. Its not a franchise of fisheries its a community of likeminded people. Hats of to Dan and Matt for getting all of it sorted🤟🏻
From personal experience i can only give my point of view. I’ve only ever had good experiences there and seen positive things for fishing. But at the end of the day everyone has their own view mate
Well done korda / embryo leagues above other fishing companies and give so much back to the sport. Another great listen and off to North bank for a second time mega social venue. Keep up the great work 👏👏👏.
Danny my old mukka do you think you be getting any syndicates up north and up north means Newcastle,it might be abit cold for you southern boys up here but doveys for head should keep yous warm with that glare,lol keep up the good work danny
I love what you've done but do you think that the younger people will not take up the sport in the future as we have to pay alot to fish as its getting more expensive to fish day ticket lakes and syndicates now let alone in future
Incredible listen, it really is good seeing Danny sitting down and talking in a setting like this. Interesting and knowledgeable. Wish it was longer it felt 10 minutes long, look forward to the next one!
Im a bit gutted i fished broom since i was 11 and now i cant I thought local anglers with a relationship with the lakes were priority...i lost a bit of me when you took over.i tried and tried to get on it.. I look at it from my house and not one local person i recognised is on it..
Stanton as example, 25 weekend members, 35 week members. 60 members @ £525 = £31500. Wow, you must be paying your Baliff’s big bucks, Not. One eyed man in the kingdom of the blind is King.
So it costs Embryo £40 to make a phone call to enquire if you want a membership. Organisation is a joke, building a legacy on borrowed money. Fishing and hunting used to be a way of putting food on the table and now it’s a capitalist business. Full respect Mr Fairarse for the Korda tackle but Embryo is a joke.
Had winter tickets on two embryo lakes, whilst i commend you Dan for what you have built with embryo the overall running for the syndicates at HQ I've found is very poor. You literally get a email one day saying you owe X amount by tomorrow or lost your spot and even when you get a ticket you basically have to chase HQ for any gate codes/info ETC. And the statement you've made about going to the bottom of the list after paying your fee and not accepting with a days notice is totally false, ive checked the syndicate I was on and I am already off the list.
Need to persuade Martin Pick to do a podcast. Thats one that would be 100% worth a serious listen to. I am sure Danny or Damo could talk him round, especially if they tell him he can have at least 15 mins to talk about Leicester City FC😂
DF is a legend in angling on a level par as a leader as churchill was to our country. And just because I'm not sure where to contact embryo about it. There are to lakes local to me that are shockingly run and I think would benefit immensely from your input. I believe that West Lake in colwick Park nottingham and the old trout lake next to it are run by the city council, and as such, you might imagine how things are. Please advise me if there is another avenue at which to get embryo more information. Again, your content is eye-opening. Danny has one of those voices that could read the yellow pages and have folk hanging on every word. #Danny for a knight hood. For service's rendered to the commonwealth.
DF is the greatest man alive in the Angling world 🌎.. An inspiration to others, a great ambassador and idol #kordaofficial 💚.. I'd love to work for him and I'd work for nothing ❤
Do you have plans to add lakes, etc, up as far as Cumbria and up into Scotland? Would be good to have some day ticket, 2/3 nighter weekdays and weekends up this way supported under the embryo banner. It's hard work travelling far for some anglers with disabilities so that is why I'm asking. Cheers guys.
Great job embryos doing a great listen this was .will they be venturing into kent though got lakes further up the country but not everyone had the time to travel the distance to fish these water so would be great to see them do something in Kent one day
Danny Q&A once every few months on here would be decent, if youre gonna be talking about the english embryo waters Rob Burgess be a good shout to have there with you he seems to smash them all up
Blaming otters 🦦 is ridiculous of course, and yes, as Danny mentions, humans are mainly to blame. Otters never became extinct and have always been present in good numbers across UK. When you increase the number of lakes across Britain and over-stock them with a single species... then there was bound to be a problem. Also, the reasoning that carp eventually learn to avoid otters 🦦 is not exactly true, because the big male otters in the wild tend to target the largest carp of an over-stocked lake during the coldest winter months, when the fish are dormant for longer periods than summer (although all carp naturally sleep for periods during every 24hrs year round, and this is another period when otters and mink target big fish). The saddest aspect of many once beautiful waters of England during recent years, is the widespread building of 'otter fences' that have turned it into an eye-sore. Gladly the larger lakes and rivers are too big to be surrounded by horrendous fencing.
@@DjDolHaus86 Stop trying to blame everything on 'introductions' when the majority of otters in UK are from natural born wild animals and not all from re-introduced animals. Regarding the ugly perimeter fencing of a small artificially constructed commercial water on private land, then that is of course up to the owner.
@@Globetrotter-1 The majority of otters are descendants from the licensed reintroduction's in the early 80s by the otter trust and unlicensed operations by individuals and groups through the 80s and into the 90s (I know people who did it across the country during this period so don't tell me they didn't). The issue, as Danny mentions, is not the reintroductions but rather the lack of foresight given to protect fish stocks and businesses as the populations began to flourish. What happens when you reintroduce an apex predator into an environment where they've been all but absent is that their populations swell to take advantage of the available food, they eventually eat everything causing the prey populations to crash before the predator population starves. This swings back and forth until hopefully you achieve equilibrium but there's no telling what casualties will occur along the way, you might gain a stable otter population at the potential loss of a few bird, amphibian, lizard, fish or mammal species which have either been predated upon as the natural food sources dried up or they've been pushed out of the ecological niche that was available in the absence of otters. If a government body has decided to allow the reintroduction of a species then it has a duty of care to ensure the populations are monitored and that those whose property, livestock or business are taken care of if the decision unduly affects them. All it needed was more money being pumped into the EA to maintain river conditions and stocks and a subsidy on the means for lakes to be protected. They released the wolves and thought nothing of the sheep.
@@DjDolHaus86 I completely disagree. I have been studying and tracking natural wild otters 🦦 (and other mammals) for over six decades and they have been present in good numbers during that time period. The widespread and unchecked volume of single-species artificially stocked waters during more recent decades have been one of the main reasons for the increase in sightings of otter activity. Regarding wolves (including lynx, bears etc...) I'm all in favour of their natural increase in numbers across Europe, especially the Alpine regions. The biggest problem in my view is that there are not enough large predators at present in UK/Europe. I'm also in favour of the beaver and other wildlife that all bring a vital factor towards maintaining a healthy biosphere.
Danny, I don't wish to blow smoke, but you're a very smart, driven perfectionist to do what you've done. An inspiration to me. You must be tough to work with I bet but the output speaks for itself. Amazing.
Pity all the waiting lists are full and will take years just to get in the waiting lists there’s a couple of lakes I’d love to fish but will never even get on the lists now
@@russellgriffiths660 all the lakes I’m interested in are full waiting lists either fifty or 100 all ready on the list and at a rate of 5/10 new members a year your waiting 5/6 years just to get on the lists
@@garythwilliams8732: Where did you get those figures from ??? You couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve just got on Phil’s …. Waited about 13 months. Get your name on your chosen list, stop moaning and WAIT !!! You’ll never get on decent syndicate unless you put your name…..I think you’ll carry on day ticketing because all you want to do is whinge !!!

Bollocks mate. I run a fishery and have done for about a decade, we do everything we can to encourage and nurture the natural environment but you've got to be practical. I need to make a profit to keep my business open, my profit is based on the value of the stock held within it, if I don't protect my stock then that little haven for nature becomes essentially valueless and will be turned into a duck shooting pond, a watersports park or simply backfilled to build on.
