Youre still teaching people bill years after you went up to heaven Hope youre still catching them fish up in heaven god bless you and youre family

Hi bill nice to see Bedford embankment moved north 30 years ago takes me back when I was younger watching big chub downstream at the newham swimming pool like your vids keep it up and stay in good health m8

Thank you again Bill for a good video nice to see you enjoying the weather and your fishing and next time the tench will be waiting for you, take care mate.

Nice fishing video catching lot of fish by hook

Top stuff bill, no messing about efficiency, good angling. It’s not all about commercials.

Even if your loosing fish like you have said before that tackle is for fish from 10lb to high 25lb plus. For me size 12 elastic, 6lb main, 4lb hook length, 14 hook which is good for fish from 5lb to lower doubles, it's caught me fish to 12lb. Bait for Tench would have been sweetcorn and chopped worm over a bed of hemp.

Great video Bill, your camera work was spot on could even seen all the slime old slabby left on the line some quality Bream there Bill, appreciate how difficult it is to film and fish without a huge camera crew all the best

Love the little one saying hello at the start, I hope you find those Tench eventually. Good point about being careful with tackle when your somewhere busy and public like that.

Very good Bill! Fine bit of fishing there..you enjoyed it as well as myself...thank you for the video

Nice one Bill, the Tench will come probably when you least expect it :)

That looks like a great day's fishing. I've been having some first attempts at ledgering this week. Apart from a few tangles when using feeders, it's gone surprisingly well. I've re-watched your older feeder/ledger videos and they suddenly make sense 🙂. In one of them you make the point of ditching hooks after a couple of missed bites. You were spot on there; I think that was a big part of the problem I was having previously with losing fish whilst waggler fishing...not so much poor hooks as blunt hooks. Anyway, another great video that leaves me a bit more knowledgeable 👍.

Nice one I enjoy watching your videos. Great one Bill always explained your way of fishing. Great.

Great video Bill. Thanks for sharing 👍

Love your stuff Bill, keep em coming

first with thumbs up great video A1 cheer Bill

The ever elusive Tench. I've not caught one for over 15 years. It's all carp these days and I'm using the same baits I did back then, just the waters have changed. Good reaction there with the boat, I could see that going completely wrong so easily!

I absolutely love the content Bill and am a huge fan of yours thanks mate keep it up

I tend to use 10-12 on rivers for this style of fishing. Wonderful video Bill, nice one.

Great fish! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for sharing again bill

Well done there bill great come back from the last session good quality fish this time 👍🎣🇿🇦 wild love to see you get those bream's on a kiddies dock demon combo once again love the video keep it up💯

Welcome back Bill.

Excellent vid bill

Lovely Bream mate.

Cracking video as always Bill,certainly love those expanders didnt they.Cracking Bream and its only a matter of time before you catch a big river Tench..here hoping Stay safe and keep uploading.

Some quality fish there Bill despite the elusive Tench but patience is a virtue as they say. You must have enjoyed every minute of the session all the same. Keep on having good days mate and look after yourself and that dicky back, don't forget the backwaters you sussed out during the lock down, keep up the good work, Chris.

Great to see you back on the bank Bill and some nice fish as well .

Hi Bill, great vid as usual. I think all the tench have come on their hols to Brittany....wife and I have had no end of them lately best was just over 4lb, just to stop you worrying you understand....all the best, Mick and Di.

Well done Bill nice mixed bag. Talking about Tench I haven’t caught one in two seasons but I’m not giving. Nice video Bill nice location but those rowers say no more ...... tight lines and take care.

RIP ..Bill ❤

some great fish there.. very nicely done! Some good times on the river, that rower was a hundred times as polite as the ones around here..

Nice session, there's so many hook baits on the market ! I'm going to try old fashioned wheat and hemp on the river tomorrow on a feeder ,looks a Good place hampered by rowers

Hi Bill, a lovely video as always. Those two Bream had some shoulders on them eh? And those Roach were good quality too, very well done to you, and the camera work was spot on! Take care, and thank you .

Hi Bill, it may be busy but the fishing is certainly good. I have the same problems shipping/landing net on the canals and even though I'm in the countryside I still get walkers and cyclists coming along and it would be tackle suicide to ship anything other than parallel to the bank as I find people seem to have no patients these days. Tight lines.

I tried those banoffee pellets on a commercial near me, i didn't have any luck but it all comes down to what they fancy on the day I suppose. Good pellets as regards durability though. Great video mate👍

22 elastic Bill, you're wishing today?? Ha!

Diamond geezer!

I have found May and June the best months for Tinca's, I have had some in July but find August very hard. I have read a few theories that they change feeding habits later in the Summer and maybe start eating Nymphs etc?

Great video again Bill .....going back a few months I offered you a John Wilson rod you said ok ....my daughter and son both sent you a message on Facebook and for whatever reason you didn’t open the message so they haven’t been given the details so I can send it to you.....No Charge...so if you still want it send your details to either Andrew or Sarah...if not no worries 😉

If you are stressed - just watch one of Bill's videos - RIP Bill

Hi bill thank you for another great video. I like the fact the you like fishing more the traditional ways and catching a nice variety of fish. Just a quick question on main like. I used to only use maxima line for years and generally used 3 lb and float and 5 or 6lb for feeder and no more and I'd catch a plenty of good size fish. But now due to limited times I have both feeder and float rods set up. I've used 6lb horizon matrix line on float which is still only 18mm diameter but I've noticed of my line seems to break quite easily. I just store them in a dark garage hanging up. I'm not sure if line can come that brittle in just afew months but I feel like I need change my line yet I've only used them twice. I may just go back to maxima but I know the diameter is quite a bit thicker. Basically what lines do you used for generally feeder and float fishing ?regards martin

Hi bill , i fish the bedford embankment alot and ive caught the odd bream . Do the rowers cause much of a problem with the fishing ? . I find them an absaloute nuisence

Schöner Film, Top Fische Brassen. Lg von Luca B und Luca S und Milan die Angler.🎣 👍.Schau doch mal bei uns rein. Feedern an der Stör. Die Ostsee 🎣 🐟 Petri

👍

Have you fished much from the opposite bank I’ve fished but further up with the music stand behind me but caught mainly dace on the whip

Love the haircut Bill ! Do you ever use a keepnet ? Just out of interest.

Hope bills ok♥️🙏👼

Seems like everyone is on the Bream down there at the moment but still no Tench as of yet 🙁 I’m tempted to fish close to them Lillies further down with a big worm on in the evening see if I can kid the doctor 😂

Slab fish mmmm

Alright bill, set up a go fund me page for a big fishing trip and I’d be the first to chuck you £20 or something , would love to see you on a specimen lake going for something a bit bigger (even though I know that’s not your style )
