YouTube Fishing 

Hi well during this lockdown I would encourage everyone to look on RU-vid at fishing video's to increase your skills and knowledge. It is free to all and is a source of information to improve your fishing. So make a cuppa, turn on RU-vid and learn Bill

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. As you can see in the comments you bring a lot of joy. Keep up the great videos and many thanks from your viewers!

Thanks for the heads up on other people’s channels Bill but don’t put yourself down, your channel is excellent! I’m watching loads of your back catalogue at the moment, it’s keeping me sane.....

Bill, I'm not just saying this , but I watch a lot of fishing channels and always come back here as my favourite and most enjoyable one. I'm sure I'm not the only one either :) take care and good health

So sorry about your loss. Your back catalogue is a wonderful resource for all young people. Graeme Pullen at TA Fishing is good natured, and I like his light tackle moments.

You take care bill love your fishing channel

I totally agree with you about YT vs TV! It takes 80% of my viewing now.

glad you mentioned mark at the end, more my type of thing, i cant be doing with youtube match fishing, i find it boring but each to their own. if i am going to a commercial which is rare and i want to try a method feeder or pellet waggler i might brush up on some knowledge but i find it very repetitive all giving basically the same way to approach the method in question

Totally agree with you mate!! Much rubbish on T.V.!! Be that as it may, glad to hear from you my friend across the pond!! I so enjoy your posts!!! Keep them coming!!!!

yws your right, i live in IRELAND I LIVE 1AND AHALF KILOMETERS FROM MY LOCAL Canal. iam fishing and extending my skills, using my cheap whips , just bought another 2 cheap whips. iam fishing since the 80s, have alot o gear whitch i have bought thru the years. match rods ledger rods '. sest boxes. enjoy your vidoes i have the same attitude as you about fishing. stay safe//

Hi, sorry to hear of your recent misfortunes, as the person(s) have no soul, they cannot be fisherman. I agree with your views on RU-vid Fishing, in particular Winning Ways, I grew up across from the Wirral in North Wales, so hearing Jamie’s comments in a familiar accent is a double bonus and Andy May is just special. This vlog was up to your usual excellence but I cannot see why you put yourself down. I always check your channel first and I am comfortable to watch your vlogs with my youngest granddaughter, as your lack of bad language and positve attitude are a pleasure to see. Please keep up the good work and don’t fix what isn’t broke. Regards from Ireland

Sorry to hear about the burglary Bill.. I hope and pray someone finds that wallet. And your reunited with those photos.. Chin up mate and look after the missus , and yourself.. Your videos cheer me up no end mate. All the best Bill 👍

I,m a big fan of TA fishing with Graeme and Mike Pullen Bill, always very entertaining, and down to earth, you probably know about this one already, take care and stay safe mate

I’d like to ad I enjoy your videos for the simplicity, you you explain things well and incredibly clear and you don’t try push products. I myself mostly whip and very rarely short pole fish I do own rods and used to carp fish and sea ect but for me I don’t get much time so when I do I want to catch and catch nothing beats the buzz of a fish on weather it’s a monster or a few oz on a whip.

i watch you tube more than rubbish telly too especially you and graham pullen 2 great shows thank you

Thank you for sharing have a great day 👍🏻🎣🎣

Stay safe bill just want to say respect for looking after your wife and daughter herd you say in previous videos the wife was a bit poorly and still manage to make some good videos with good advice tight lines and all the best

Stay safe Bill. Hope to see you back on the bank as soon as we can all have another cast. P.s. hope you get every thing sorted after the burglary too and that they catch the thieving sods. Tight lines. 🎣🎣🎣

Sorry to hear about your burglary Bill, keep up the good work and keep posting your RU-vid videos. I along with many others look forward to them

Hi Bill nice to see you putting out informative video,s . Stay safe and well.

scumbags bill, hope you get your stuff back but the chances are slim. there are some horrible b******s around nowadays. stay safe and keep the vids coming, the fact you fish gear we can all afford and on waters we can all fish is brilliant.

Keep yourself safe buddy we will get through this tight lines👍

Good shout. RU-vid is my tv every day. Fishing everywhere along with other stuff thst has me like Alice down the rabbit hole. Wow. The information, the art. We are blessed.

I watch lots of fishing channels, but whenever I see a new video from you I watch it straight away! Just real old school no nonsense fishing. Thanks for what you do! You're looking well.

Hi Bill, I hope that you, your wife, and family are well, though I am so sorry to hear the scumbag burgler 🥵 . Thank you for the suggestions on videos to watch, I will have a look over the next few days. Take good care, Bill, and I look forward to your next installment.

Really sorry too hear that Bill, bloody low mate. Hope police get them before another poor victim. Anyway Bill, it will be all over soon as long as we keep ourselves safe. I love youtube, if I lived by myself I'd have one less bill, nd that would be tv license. Rubbish that's all it is. These bloody reality TV programmes, anyway been watching ur vids and some overs I subbed and they are just doing vids on their set ups, showing what they take with them, other useful info. So it's still about fishing. Anyway Bill and everyone else who manged to stay awake Reading my comment lol, plz stay well and safe to fish another day 🎣

A mind of information good video

Love the vids.. reminds me of my dad. Keep up the good work.

Sorry to hear about the scrotes who've burgled you. Keep safe and more to come I hope Bill.

Sorry to hear about the burglary Bill, bloody heartbreaking they took your daughter's photos. Glad to see that you are still making videos though, very much appreciated mate. Have you seen any of 'The Fighting Fisherman's' videos? Nothing fancy, just a chap fishing the rivers, rhynes and ditches of the Somerset levels.

Hi Bill. I agree, plenty of videos to learn from. I for one do enjoy watching your channel for the unbiased tackle reviews and the way you show how you can go fishing without needing a massive budget. Please keep up the good work and you and your family stay safe.

Good to see you're keeping well Bill... I am also watch videos to keep my eye in! 😉👍

Sorry to here of your loss. Great vlog thks.

Couldn't agree more regarding the wealth of knowledge freely available on youtube. All the anglers you mentioned are educational with Jamie Hughes "setting a trap" mantra very influential to my recent trips to commercial venues. I also think there is some mileage in following a similar pattern for bigger fish on the more prolific canal venues. Interestingly for those with Amazon prime I discovered a number of old fishing videos that I've started to rewatch. The Billy makin canal video using rod and line to fish three swims with one rig gave me an acute sense of nostalgia and I will dig out my old 11ft canal special when the crisis is over and see how my side casting is going on , I might even find an original canal grey from some obscure take box just for completeness. Overall keep safe Bill and we all look forward to seeing you back on the bank sooner rather than later..

Keep safe bill paul from Scunthorpe sorryy about the stolen goods you lost

Nice to see you looking well my friend.

In these dark times its great to see you looking well Bill...Agree theres lots of videos out there and yes these top match men make fishing look so,so easy... yet I think lots of people tune into your channel knowning you dont after spend £1,000s to catch fish ,you always fish with a real smile on your face ,be it a 6lb chub or a 1oz gudgeonyou love catching fish..hence you will always have a hard core following..stay safe Bill and all your family.

Good to see you well bill

Nice one Bill, 👍 stay well,

thanks and keep safe.

Really sorry to hear about your burglary Bill. Damned low lifes. Thanks for the advice, knowing -which- videos to watch is really useful. I hope I learn as much from them as I always have from you. Keep safe lad.

Hi Bill good to see you doing well hope you and your family looking after themself.

Hi Bill first of all sorry to hear about your misfortune, yes I watch little television anyway I watch fishing channels all very informative but I’m not just saying this but I love your style and enjoy watching you fish and yes a shout out from my 8 year old grandson loves your videos, you don’t need fancy gadgets fishing is knowledge and skill, thanks for sharing and let’s hope this virus goes away and we can get on with our normal lives. Take care Bill

Great video 👍

Sorry to hear you got burgled bill hope you and your family are ok ans also you and you family are ok stay safe tight lines

Recreational fishing in Florida is listed as an essential activity, during the lockdown. Not a joke.

Bill, could you make a video about plumbing the depth when times getting better? Like what to look out for, when the bottom is uneven or why look for deeper water sometimes when it is warm or cold?

I wish you a pleasant containment, enjoy all these videos See you soon Alain

sorry to hear about your loss of your possessions , glad you are doing ok though! I have a new video series out on Cast and Spear.. will see how it works out

Hi Bill Andy Findlay my angling hero Andy invented the first flatbed method feeder it was the clear korum carp feeder they named it back then i bought a dvd by fishing films which featured Andy Findlay using this new korum carp feeder this was still very much a secret Andy showed how you changed the elastic for a stronger one then came the surprise Andy then revealed for the first time how to mould pellets on the flatbed feeder wow it blew me away so i got these korum carp feeders and some 2mm pellets changed the elastic i copied everything andy did moulding the pellets with the palm of my hand on to the feeder i went on to win 35 matches that season and a good amount of cash Andy is also the inventor of the quick stops quick change bead the banjo feeder and fibre paste Andy Findlay changed angling especially the method feeder and the way we fish it today by the way BILL i have just bought the New Preston innovations 10 metre margin carp pole it's absolutely fantastic £199.99 i got mine for £170.00 it's a fantastic package can't wait to use it dam this LOCKDOWN 2 power pulla kits tubes for transportation and a pole holdall all you have to do is add elastic and your fishing I'm over the moon with this margin pole top quality from Preston at an incredible price it got reviewed on RU-vid by mark sawyer Angling times gave it top review lots of people are saying the same thing top quality i miss my fishing spent the day making flurocarbon traces for my pike fishing i never use wire traces and never will flurocarbon traces are much superior than wire they have landed me so many pike I'm always watching RU-vid anyway stay safe BILL sorry to hear about your bad luck ALIEN

Bill great channel, keep safe and hope the low lifes that robbed you get nicked, chin up and keep on going.

Hi Bill sorry to hear about the theft, hopefully the police may find some of your things. I been browsing though some youtube videos and came across Amateur Angling and he has quite a few videos on all different coarse fishing techniques.

Don’t sell yourself short bill it’s very apparent your a class angler...bang on about scotthorne and his attention to detail 👍🏻

Stay safe Bill

😀👍

Miss your videos Bill - hope you are staying well

Hope to See you in October at the Big One Bill.

Hello Bill Sorry to hear about you losing your stuff and picture memories - after the horse has bolted but if you wanted a direct FaceTime or Skype tutorial on how to back up to pc or cloud happy to run thru with you - that is if you are not already aware - if this is of interest just let me know how to exchange contact details. Not after any fee or anything like that just to pay you back for the enjoyment your videos give me. With regard to viewing RU-vid I recommend Chromecast V2 if you do not have a smart tv this allows you, as long as your tv has an hdmi port, to view RU-vid and also things like BBCiplayer casting from phone, iPad or even pc. They are about $50 here in Australia - but let’s me see RU-vid on really old tvs. Cheers Paul

sound Bill MR D

Hi bill just want to know do you need a loop tier to tie loops or can you do it by hand? tia

Hey Bill, I hope you and your family ar safe. If you want too watch some quality content on flyfishing, lurefishing and ice fishing you should check out the youtube channel "Kanalgratis". Most of the videos are spoken in english or they are subtitled. I know they are super sponsored but there are still good videos too be found on there. Hope you enjoy it if you check it out. Greetings from Sweden.

I haven't watched TV in over 10 yrs now .. and i honestly don't miss it . Quality control has fallen to such a depth it's deeper than the Challenger Deep . I find better content on YT tbh .
