I found this is the best explanation I've seen - the diagrams in particular helped me , I also want to thank you for your recent video on attaching lead shot - I have struggled with shotting floats for years - main issue being moving shot to change pattern - your tips on fixing , moving the shot then discarding the last bit of line , solved my problems - and I actually enjoy shotting up now -thanks !.
This man sounds and knows what he is going . Great tutorial, one with many interesting specifics. River fishing is a difficult sport to master and takes years of practice I'm still figuring it out at 48 . Thank you. 👍
With summer coming we have a whole season of fishing to enjoy, lets hope for a good year. Thanks Dan I really appreciate your comment and the best of luck.
As most of us probably did I started out float fishing and over time moved to more leger and feeder tactics, targeting larger fish. Recently I took a float rod, some bread and a pint of maggots with me to the river and rediscovered the fun of using a simple float setup, 4lb line, a 2lb hooklength and a size 18 hook. Initially feeding some balled up bread&maggots and then little and often with maggots, I had constant bites, multiple good sized dace and small chub. Typically fishing with static hair rigged baits, boilies, meat, pellets etc I'd forgotten how enjoyable this type of fishing can be.
Excellent, another clear cut lesson/tutorial that I will take on board and watch again and again. They really are fantastic videos you produce no bull, stupid loud music or blatant advertising of tackle. A big thanks
Am going out stick float fishing tomorrow, kind of for the first time. I have done it before but not properly. This video is excellent and has given me so much information and confidence to try it tomorrow!!
A very good instructional video, one of the best I have seen on stick float fishing. I am going to try what I have learned at Winkton on the Hampshire Avon this weekend.
Returning to angling after many years away. Reason for returning was mainly due to my son expressing an interest, so borrowed some kit and took him a few times to a local stillwater where we landed some roach, rudd, perch, and of course a few gudgeon too :-) . He loved it, and I had forgotten how much fun it can be. Some great videos uploaded to this channel. I especially like the longer and more technical ones explaining the use of stick and waggler floats, as well as the significance of the tell tale shot. Thanks! Now have more confidence in achieving good results going forward when I purchase ourselves some tackle of our own. Please keep the videos coming.
will you be doing a video on using a centre pin casting the amount of line loading the reel . as there is little of it around and using a pin is tricky even for we anglers that fish with them a lot . for example loading line from the top is better in windy conditions . but for casting and batting line back in . line coming of the bottom is better ext ext
This has to be the most informative Video on Stick float fishing, saved me hours trying to tell folks, i send them to this video instead :), Brilliant Video Sir, a big thumbs up
Very well explained! Will be trying this soon when river condition is right not done it for years ,will make a change from fishing the carp puddles lol
I have watched your explanation about float fishing. Would you be so kind to mention the three types of floats you mentioned in the video and so that I can buy them in Holland thank you very much. Have a good Christmas.
Awesome video, loads of info I've missed in the past and never thought of, thanks. I am after a centre pin reel and rod myself can you recommend any please
Mostly I use a light 13 foot float rod with a line rating of 1 to 4lb, but I do quite a bit of Roach fishing, you may need something different. A 4.5 inch reel with a 1 inch wide drum should be fine for long trotting and general river fishing.
here in the states we don't feed the swim and that could be the reason why our catch ratio is low on our day sessions ...will have to remember to feed the swim when I get out on the river with me new centre pin
only just found your channel and very good it is to. I'm thinking of trying some fresh water fishing as it's something I haven't tried yet and your videos have been very informative. would you ever do a sea fishing video or is this something that doesn't interest you
For a small bait like pearl barley, I would fish the stick. Bigger baits with heavier gear I might use an Avon. I would only use a waggler if conditions demand.
Another excellent video. If you put the stick rig on a winder what method do you use to tie the rig to your mainline? Look forward to your reply and keep up the good work.
Hi AA. I am just getting into river fishing, trotting especially , can you tell me what knot you would use to tie your ready made rigs to your mainline so I can look it up on you tube and learn it. Thank you this is a fantastic tutorial
Loop to loop using figure of eight loop knots with the loop in the main line large enough to pass the winder through. Loop to loop also allows you to easily change the rig if needed.
