The best way and the most rewarding way to fish, the only bad thing is going to bed and still seeing the float when your eyes are shut lol

Haven't fished for 30 years but this video has filled me with enthusiasm to start again. Many thanks.

Wow! This is the most instructive video ever! Here’s me an 83 year old grandad, doesn’t have a clue and about to show the grandson how to fish when we go on holiday on a canal boat! But this video has explained it all. Luckily the man in the shop told me what I needed! And sure enough you are showing me how to set it up! I just hope my thick fingers and thumbs will be okay to tie the knots? Thank you!

Been float fishing for many years, but this video was a great refresher and reminded me of a few forgotten tricks 👍

These are small floats ru-vid.comUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend the package is smaller than my hand just to provide perspective. That said I wanted small floats for the times I need to add one when trout fishing or fishing for panfish. The peg is perfect for my application where I want a set hold point that is quickly adjustable and want to be able to add the float without retying. That’s the real advantage here. You can add this float to your line without retying and adjust the depth easily with the peg so it won’t kink your line like a traditionalit. If I need to set this too deep then I’d switch over to ait with a thread stop to make casting easier. But like I said, these are a great value for the price I paid. Probably better suited to applications where your depth is 5-feet or less for the sake of casting.

Oh man, you guys are so well spoken and sound so professional it's a pleasure to listen to you. The way you structure these videos is great and from the point of view of someone just getting back into fishing they're perfect for beginners. Thanks a lot!

you guys are amazing! I'm fishing for more than 20 years and I'm still watching your tutorial videos. The amount of great tips and tricks is astounding. Keep it up!!

Used to fish when I was a kid, just started again. This was so helpful, it's really hard finding useful videos that aren't littered with unexplained terminology. You do a great job explaining things for novices! Keep it up!

One of the most informational videos I’ve ever seen on floats

I watched this 3 months ago and started float fishing. And now I have a full carp setup. Where do I send the bill too? 😂

I have watched a lot of videos on beginner fishing and I think this is the best one I have watched. No waffle, to the point, and informative.

Absolute banger of a tutorial! It’s amazing how universal and versatile this rig is. I set mine up nearly exactly the same. I mainly only use it for river fishing steelhead with a centerpin, but it is far and away the most productive method.

Back in to fishing again after 35 years thanks to you and Mortimer/Whitehouse. As always informative and interesting. Keep the content coming. You’re doing a great job.

Best channel by far, for learning how to fish. I cannot commend enough, your style of explaining things to beginners like me. You guys have really helped me understand different types of fishing. I want to thank you. And hope to see you around the Essex fishing spots one day !!

Excellent video tuition with no loud and long music introduction. Straight to the point concise and clear. Many Thanks.

I've been fishing 30 years, and still learnt a ton from this video. Thanks lads! :)

This is the best fishing video I’ve ever seen

Another fantastic video even though I've been fishing for years I still watch the tutorials as you can never know everything spot on guys keep up the great work

Nice video thank you. Just been fishing for trout with my children, it's been over 20 years since I went fishing so thanks for the tips!

Taking my daughter's 5/3 float fishing this weekend for the first time and this has been a great refresher. Haven't float fished for 20 years +. Great video and definitely liked and subscribed. Cheers from Aus 🤙

I love the this style of fishing, it's bang on exactly how I first started out when my uncle taught me how to fish. It's unfortunate that many waters these days ban ground bait unless it's attached to a feeder etc, or some outright ban ground bait all together. I'm sure most people aren't hauling in 2kgs of ground bait a session. Even when method feeder fishing I only end up putting in less than 250g of ground bait for a whole days session.

I've literally gone back to fishing after 15 years, and your videos are extremely useful, especially with how much has changed since simple home made "ping-pong" bite indicators for example 😄👏🏻

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. Really clear and helpful. Brilliant.

simple, nothing complicated or daunting...excellent vid again ...my river fishing days are done but still brought back memories

Absolutely love your video's, both of your channels have given me the inspiration and information to get into fishing. I am fairly new at float fishing, and this video has gone a long way. So far I have only used the straight waggler, but I want to change up my experience and try out using top and bottom floats on moving water. Would it be possible to see you guys set up this rig from start to finish along with the baits you would use? Much appreciated 😁

Another brilliant show Carl , lots of new and old people to fishing will learn a lot from this . Nice one 👍

Excellent commentary, clear and concise. Thank you.

You’re videos have and are helping me loads. Brilliant stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for The information i’m just getting started into fishing and trying to catch big carp like you guys 👍

Just started fishing again after 25+ years... glad I found your channel!

I know how to float fish very well. I just want to appriciate your effort.

Excellent video, very informative, I've just been looking through my old coarse fishing box and can't wait to start again. Many thanks !

great tutorial for a total beginner it has helped a lot with where I have been going wrong many thanks

Only just seen this tutorial video and it's the perfect video for a beginner to watch it gives you a bit of everything to get you started in fishing. Top advice video carl. From Justin in West Midlands.

Thank you very much sir! Picking fishing back up this weekend with my 6 and 4 year old daughters after about... 6 years out... 😅 this video was perfect. Thank you again

Thank you carl I've been fishing for 7 years been fishing with des taylor and I still learnt something from this video. keep at it!!👍

Just great guys! I always wanted a vid to explain all that.thanks.can wait to aply some of the wisdom you shared while fishing for crucian with my son! Have a nice evening!

Thank you for this video. I'm about to get back into fishing after a 20 year break and I couldn't remember the basics on tying hooks, etc. It's all coming back to me. Great video.

Just started up fishing again and this has been very helpful!! Thx and subbed!!

As a keen newcomer to river fishing, this tutorial has been invaluable. Many thanks. Ray

I love your videos, only started float fishing during lockdown, but have learnt so much from you guys and caught loads! Thank you xx

Great video! I just recommended your channel to a few beginners in our fishing club. Keep on going!

Awesome video Carl I think you need to follow this up with choosing the right rod and reel set ups 👍🏼🎣

Would highly recommend loaded floats and use rubbers to keep them in place as the depth can easily be changed

Outstanding video! showed my grandson and I actually saw the lightbulb moment and he said ohh now I get it Absolutely priceless thank you.

Well, this is one old dog that is always happy to learn new tricks. Thank you, Carl & Alex, for another great video. ;)

Came back to say I went fishing today for the first time in over 10 years and was awesome! I got 7 fish and some bad sunburns but always worth lol Thankyou for these videos I remember a lot of tips and even found my own from trying

Very informative Lads . Think you covered everythinng there . When you start out fishing young , the float is most definitely the first thing you learn . But when you start late , the feeder or bomb is , most of the time , the first thing you learn and float fishing becomes very daunting . Well explained and easy to follow . Well done . Waiting onn the Giant Peacock Bass vid !!! Lol .

Thank you so much such a informative tutorial. Seriously professional yet approachable. Big respect

Helped me so much starting fishing brilliant video!

Love this video. Thanks 🙏🏼 watched it a few times and it’s ultra helpful. Love every single one of you videos too.

Just starting again after over 30yrs and this video has been very, very useful! Great work :-)

Hay guys both your channels have really inspired me to start fishing again please do a course or perch fishing tutorial thanks

Mate. Your videos are really helping me out. I've no idea what I'm doing but me and my pal are trying. Thank your brother for the clicky heads up on his video. Some of these fishing enthusiasts are horrid. Most are great... Me and my mate are no fools though.

Could have done with this when I started out 30 years ago! Still some good advise for those have been fishing a while. Nice one lads! Again!

Looking to get back into fishing after many years. This video was really useful in bringing it all back. Thanks :)

great video and really helpful for a beginner float fisher like myself

I live in Australia. I know no-one that Coarse fishes. You guys are the only source of information that I know of. I have an old book but this is better. This video and your others are INCREDIBLY informative! Keep them coming. Love your videos. Keep the Alex and Carl competitions coming! LOL

excellent tips! i will always enjoy a nice float fishing !

Am going float fishing so this helps a lot thank you for the help 🎣

As usual fantastic video & great explanation of the subject!!!! Well done lads.🎣😎

This is just tremendous content. Congrats to you both. It's so clear, so concise, and so well filmed and produced. Could I make a request? It would be amazing to see a video quickly explaining the best way to hook the various commonly used coarse baits, eg maggots, casters, bread, sweetcorn, pellets etc. Cheers and tight lines!

Excellent! This is just what I needed! Thank you

Yes a great refresher video young man well done

Good to watch some Real Fishing, and no sleeping in a tent waiting for a bite-alarm to tell you to reel-in a self-hooked fish! I also use a travel light and stay mobile approach, with no Removal Van required!👍

Superb! Brilliantly simple and easy to understand. Well done.

Mate you must have been fishing since you wer six months old. So young and so much great advice. Well done great videos

love the vids there coming along great ! very informative .

Really great video, clear & easy to understand.

I'm just getting back in to float fishing as I'm normally fishing for carp the pond i go to is a bit silty and Canadian weed but I must say i got five Roch about a 1lb and a half gave me a bit of a fight but well nice I'm looking to going back down taken my five yr old granson thank you for another great video look forward to the next video's all best my myself andy in Blackpool stay safe always

Amazing tutorial great for beginners like me👌🏻thank you

Thanks, really informative and helpful.

Excellent stuff,can't wait to see whats next when things get back to something like normal

I love you guys your content is so helpful love the vids keep it up 👍

Just want to thank you for your advice on chumming a little at a time, but often to keep the fish in the area and feeding. I teach Fly Fishing merit badge to the Boy Scouts. There is a place where a guy has a fish feeder that throws dog food (fish pellets) on a timer. I had the scouts tye a "corn fly" using brown foam. If we toss a cup full of dog food it creates a feeding frenzy and attracts lots of assorted fish... but they soon are full and stop biting. By taking your advice and tossing 3 or 4 pellets at a time, the fish continue to feed constantly over a longer period of time and give the kids more chances to catch more fish. Your fishing methods work on all kinds of fish... Mahalo for all the fishing tips, Aloha, Stan

Very informative and simply explained. 👍

Excellent video to get me started. Thanks

That was very interesting to watch.

awesome vid guys they are always really helpful

Love u guys, great advice well presented.

Best tutorials on RU-vid, absolutely fantastic

Great presentation of the basics! Well done!

So grateful for these videos!

Excellent video and brilliant tips 👏

I had always wanted to do angling....But most people who knowd dont guide you...Thanks a lot for guiding me through this awesome hobby.. .Love From India 🇮🇳...🙏🙏🙏

GREAT VIDEO, GOOD JOB, THANKS

Best video mate.Well done 👏

Thank you - amazing tutorial

cheers taught me a lot of the little things I forget

Interesting, I never put too much thinking into floats when using them , it’s like a one size fit all thinking , so this is a great video

Superbly presented as always, lads. There really aren't any better videos out there that describe these fundamental skills so well. Only suggestion might be to investigate the use of animated graphics, to complement some of the descriptions, especially the stuff that happens underwater.

I am slow at setting up the float. But that's because I have to make sure it's perfect and I'm happy that dropper shot is working for me. It takes me roughly half hour once it's set up. That's casting about 2ft all round swim incase there's even a couple inches difference. Lol I do my own head in sometimes. I do use a float connector at all times. My fave float fishing is done in margins for carp in summer tho or out a bit under over hanging trees. Tip I do great on manilla paste close in.

What a nice informative channel. Thank you

Great video. Great detail very informative

Very educational. Thank you

Really helpful lads thank you! Can you talk us through bodied wagler floats soon?

Brilliant as usual Carl!! Best youtube channel mates!!

Good info 👍 nice to see skilled angling from the younger generation; Ivan Marks would be chuffed.

Great vlog Lad's. I have searched youtube for float fishing videos that show the different types of bites, like the one's you mentioned. I was really interested in the lift method, the trouble is that there are not many videos that actually show the bites at the float (close up) and when to strike. I was wondering to compliment this great video, if you could make a video of you fishing with the floats that you used in this vlog and possibly the lift method that would be great thanks.
