Finally remembered to send you a link to this one! haha sorry: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o32H-CDp8YI.html&ab_channel=FishingTutorials
As a mostly lure fisherman for smallmouth, largemouth, hybrid stripers, etc., these carp fishing tutorials really help with the finer details of carp fishing. The carp are I’d say “more willing” to bite in America as there are loads of them, but I fish in mainly very clear water so these videos have helped a ton and inspired me to fish for carp! Thanks a ton mates, keep up the great work.
@@TheShortShifter my absolute favorite thing to do is wade streams for smallmouth bass. It’s either throwing topwater lures at sun up/down, casting to cover and getting blown up as the lure drops, or burning back paddle tails and getting smacked. They are just so aggressive and fight so hard. Makes it the most fun in streams where you can see the entire fight take place, and you’ll get up to 5-6 jumps sometimes, occasionally right next to you. It’s a really connected way of fishing in my opinion. Scoop em up in the net, take a picture if they are big, and watch em swim away back to their home. I’ve got a short video on my channel catching a 5 lbs largemouth bass If you’d like to see that. A very good fight and beautiful specimen.
Amazing video. The tips are first class. Any new angler watching this take every tip on board because these dudes know what their talking about. Keep the videos coming lads..
Well done alex showing ur big brother up in front of the camera you two r smashing it lads ive had to stop fishing this year with covid and no work but still get my fishing fix watching ur uploads cant wait for next one boys 🔥👏🎣
I love these videos! They are so helpful and intuitive... I've been fishing since i was 6.. Now i have some kit of my own, so i've been watching all of these video and they have really helped me out :) Thank you
Great watch, love a diagram 👍makes things so much clearer than just words ! Will be using the walking back technique 👌and i leave the rod pod at home and use the high rod tip with single rod rest .. makes so much sence 🙂.
Dude, you had me crying with laughter at 10:50... OMG, every time i think about your reaction i bust out laughing... But seriously, your videos are absolutely the best and I have literally learned everything i know so far thanks to you two gents. My deepest thanks.
Hey C&A. So firstly, because of you guys, I've taken up fishing in the last year and a bit. I suffer from crippling anxiety from time to time and fishing seems to really help me, so because of you guys and both this tutorial channel and your other channel, I'm able to give myself some 'me' time and actually feel relaxed! So thanks! Anyway, I have a question for you. I've seen a good few people on various forums and Facebook groups saying that a coated braid hooklink is better than any other hooklink for night fishing. I can't see how/why this would be the case and was hoping to ou could shed some light on the matter for me?! Cheers.
Nice video, very informative and well made. The reason why braid is not allowed as main line in lakes is because it can hurt the fish, acting like a razor cutting through the flesh of the fish. I even break the hook barb to protect the fish, making sure the hook is easy to pull off and hurts the fish as little as possible. This way if your line breaks, the hook will fall off more easily. You might loose more fish this way but their safety comes first I think. I’ve caught a few fish with a full rig in their mouth. They didn’t thank me but they must have felt great being free.
Hi guys. Im new to fishing. And just brought myself a spod set up. Im going to sound like a complete noddy but can you do a video how to attach a spomb to braid and quickly change from say your spomb to a feature lead etc? Been watching you for ages!
I half expected you to say: "Also, if you've ever waded out into a lake and put your hands in the water and felt the temperature, you'd know it if there was a hungry pike." My mind works in mysterious ways sometimes. Maybe because my grandpa recently retold the story of how he managed to get his hands shredded by a pike when he was washing them in the margins. He also managed to grab the pike and turn it into dinner.
By the way, I use Fox Submerge, which is an abrasion-resistant braided main line. I kept getting cut off at my favourite venue, even though I only ever fish the margins, so I switched to that stuff, and I haven't looked back since :)
Lost two to snags in two days. Really need to work on my fishing stewardship... I don't like when I feel as if I've not done well for the fish. Went swimming to Un snag from an underwater branch and the fish was still on about 4minutes later. Broke me off after I got it unsnagged because my braid frayed. Some armor leader would have probably made that difference.
Love the videos guys! Keep it up! Quick question that I don’t think has been covered before. Regardless of fishing in open water or snags how tight should the line be? I’m hearing some keep it really tight, whereas others swear by keeping the line relatively slack?
Hi there Carl and Alex. I am a new subscriber and first of all i really want to say that i love youre videos. They are very easy going and exciting to watch. I do have a question about this video. Why dont you use rear banksticks to grip youre rods and point the top of the rod more down towards the water. It seems to me that the wind can easily catch youre main line and give false alarms. Usually i sink my line to prevent the wind from catching it. I am curious about youre opinion about that? greetings from the netherlands
Great video as always. The tip with the bivvy peg on the reel handle is something I'll definitely use. Could you tell me why you moved away from the scopes to the crosscasts?
Thanks again guys another very informative video & suits my lake perfectly snags & silty, Do you have a link to one of your tutorials on which knots you use for the extra rod lengths of Armor Cord to leader your main line & leadcore leader to aid with casting as i normally loop to loop my leadcore to mainline
Forgive me if this has been posted before. I have just joined a local lake and have been told it has some large perch on it. Floatfishing with worm, maggot and meat catches silvers and carp but not the perch. How do I target just them.
HAHA - having the rod pulled into the lake - happened to me LOL! Was fishing with a feeder at a close range, and must have knocked the clutch accidentally and didn't notice. Next thing I know - my mate is asking to borrow a landing net (his snapped earlier (the handle broke off )), I literally stood up from my chair, looked at my net, then noticed the rod catapulting like a freaking rocket into the lake and swimming away... :FACEPALM: We did have a good laugh about that though.
Hey, I've recently started fishing with one of my friends, am I able to use beginner items and still land decent fish?, so far I've only landed small perch so far.
Don't make sense. It says you gotta be on your rods. 😂Which is a must. But at the end Alex had a bite fishing in snags and he wasn't even in his swim😳bad angling
