Live Match Fishing: River Trent (RiverFest Qualifier) 

I wish they wasn't quite so hard ha ha!

Still some stick float fishing on the Trent, but not when all the flow is so far out and its as shallow as my swim.

So nice of you to say Terry 👍👍👍

Thanks Thomas

Glad you enjoyed it Eddie. Made a nice change!

Thanks Jay

Thanks Karl, always wanted to fish the Grantham for the tench I know it holds...

loved Hoveringham as a kid in the 80s, always with a Chinese on the way home :)

Get on the river! :-)

I would've been 4 years old ha ha

Thanks TT! I think I could have attacked even more in hindsight, as we are only there to try and win the zone...

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Paul, much appreciated 👍

Many thanks Wayne

Think we're all suffering... but it'll still no doubt be flash floods next!

Next time!

Get on it! 👍

Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds good, think that peg I was on would be bounce bounce snag but a nice glide Im sure it'd be great. Matt Godfrey always told me that's how he catches at Torksey on the tidal

Thanks. Absolutely! :-) 👍

Many thanks Andy, just nice to see the float going under

Must be bananas to go that far eh? ;-) 👍

Cheers Chris!

Cheers Brian!

Thanks Kevin

Glad you like them!

Thanks. I thought an hour might be too long for most ha ha

Will do 👍👍👍

Many many thanks for all your support David. It really means a lot and helps me more than people will probably realise. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes, it's 95% done. Think it might go on my Channel Members as it's a long one and a bit different, but will see!

I know! Phewwww!

Thanks John, sadly probably no Evesham this year for me I think, but you never know...

@@JonArthur lol 😆

Much appreciated Stuart. Always room for improvement but gave it a decent go for my first visit to the stretch

General lots of use and abuse!

I will try. Think Ive got two more tickets... 👍

Yep I had the glorious privilege of drawing the scales so had a chat with everyone. He had a nice net of little chunky roach, which I’m sure I could’ve matched had I not sat on the feeder so much, but sadly in hindsight neither of us were going to qualify on the float on the day

Cheers Andy, defo was an option but when a Trent master like Lee tells to definitely fish the pole and not the wag I've got to listen. Wasn't going to win on pole or wag there either way, so it was only a ticking over swim while I prayed for a feeder arrival

@@JonArthur Thats true mate and yes good advice from Lee although a wag set up is needed in most areas. Surprised he never said!

Most of the pegs where you fished are wade out and you can catch fast to start. Do not go too light on a wag main line as the big fish can rock up and surprise you. Fisk is always a double wag set up for me. Barble come right in close and can come in numbers. Great caster pegs. Its the same all along the ND areas and the roach sport is fantastic late season. Spraying the feeder line with caster, if you can get it out there gives you a good advantage on open and qualifiers.

Thanks Roy

The Ultimate Trent Guide by Bob Roberts may be of help. The maps have the names of several controlling clubs and you can go to their websites to find out if day ticket is available.

I believe you can get day tickets from local shops. Have a look at the various websites for full details, such as Newark Piscatorials.

I've mentioned it on several vids now, but I just set the elastic length I want and then loop to loop some very thick braid (thicker stuff won't cut the elastic) and then adjust it at that end.

Yes they must’ve had a day off. Phew!

Only barbel I heard caught in our 20 pegs was 2lb two anglers away and I felt I was as likely to snare one on the feeder swim

Sonubaits black roach and black river and crushed hemp. Just replace the river with ‘Sonubaits Black’ on the cut 👍

@@JonArthur cheers Jon, appreciate it as always, tight lines.

Have to agree. Face probably doesn't fit I would say, although it's hard to see who he could push out as well?

Nice of you to say so SH, I try and reply to almost everyone... eventually! 🤣

@@JonArthur been binge watching your vids for a few weeks and have subbed! Keep up the good work!

Cheers Patrick!

ok

Lived there for about seven years in Longford. Glad to be out after so many attempted burglaries, but miss so many venues being so much nearer!

@@JonArthur Hasn't changed much over the years I live just up the road in Bedworth

Cheers, certainly not sure the Trent is finished... but will know in a fortnight!

I heard it fished great this 2022-23 season

Cheers Karl 👍
