@@josephbackstrom1679 Me too: they’re such pretty fish. Well done on the mirror.
Hi I joined Charlbury Angling Club and have tried several sessions on various stretches but to be honest I'm really struggling so far, all the places I've been to are heavily overgrown with weeds and nettles over 6ft tall, I can't get close to the Evenlode. I've been to the stretch by the bridge at Finstock/Fawler, I went to the bridge and stretches on the Charlbury to Chadlington road and have also tried by Charlbury Cricket Club, all those stretches are basically inaccessible with heavy and dense vegetation/bushes/tress. I've yet to try the Chilson Road Bridge and the stretch from Ashford Mill to Stonesfield. Have you got any advice for me regarding the Evenlode?
@@andrewhopwood500 I’ve had most of my best fish from Ashford Mill to Stonesfield. Stonesfield Common has some accessible swims. Have a good look in the autumn when the nettles die back and you’ll get an idea of which nettles are worth battling through. My best pike was after a painful journey through hawthorn bushes.
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 Thank you so much for your advice. Is there any way that members of the Charlbury Angling Club can communicate with each other, is there a WhatsApp group or FB page ?
@@andrewhopwood500 Not that I know of but you can always call the club secretary Phil (he’s a lovely guy). I started going to the Winter League matches last year and the guys there are always good for advice.
Pretty sick and cute too ngl
Such a good video Dad, nice work 🫡
Congrats on the PB!
Thanks Alex.
Semangat brather, selalu berkarya, salam sukses 👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩
I’m a lucky chap to fish where I do.
Some lovely locations .
Some productive sessions :) Nice video!
Thanks! 😀
Nice paint job but they look to be painted in early war colours while carrying late war stuff. Is it just rule of cool? New to this system and trying to get a feel for how people play. I watched a British force that combined 8th Army Africa with late war Euro kit. So it doesn't seem to be particularly period relevant.
Thanks for the comment but if they were early war they would be wearing jackboots. As the war progressed, the German army switched to ankle boots and leggings.
Thank you for this one!
You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Hello. I'm in Witney and am thinking of taking up angling. I'm interested in river/stream fishing for predator species using lures. One thing that I'm struggling to understand is who's permission do I need to fish some of our local rivers such as the Windrush, Evenlode, Glyme, Cherwell and their tributary streams and a little further afield to the West on the Dikler, Eye, Sherbourne, Leach etc. How do you go about trying to find out who has the relevant permissions/rights for these waterways ?
Welcome to this wonderful sport. You’re best bet is asking your local tackle shop. If you’re in Witney, there’s a great tackle shop at Tower Hill called States. The guys in there are friendly and knowledgeable. You can fish for free from where the Windrush splits to the mill near Sainsburys in Witney. I’m a member of Charlbury Angling Club, which gives me access to stretches of the Evenlode, Cherwell and Thames. For great advice on lure fishing, check out Fishing Tutorials, The Ginger Fisherman and Snagged Bro on TH-cam. Tight lines and hope to see you on the bank. 👍
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 Thanks mate. It's the videos from Ginger Fisherman, Adventure Fishing UK and Fishing Tutorials that have got me interested but have always wondered how they all manage to roam around so freely at different locations and then applying that to the waterways we have available here in West/North Oxfordshire.
Another great video bud and some cracking fish I had a nice brownie out the windrush in burford last weekend on a spinnner. Also had a 4.2lb rainbow trout out of there just before Xmas. Tight lines mate
Nice! Cheers for the comment mate. 👍
Great video mate I’ve fished all them places on the canal in the last week can’t say I was as lucky as you though 😂
Thanks for the comment mate. I’ve found where I see fish topping it’s worth a try. Good luck and keep at it.
Nice video. I think I will have to give the one summer pond a try with my kids, especially now I know they have crucians! some nice catches on the canal but you must be looking forward to the river season. The rivers are looking great at the moment and I can't wait to go in search of some nice Chub and Barbel again on the upper Thames!
Absolutely mate. I’m itching to get back on the rivers. One Summer Pond’s ideal for kids. All the best and thanks for the comment.
I caught a ruffe the other day at dukes lock, drop shotting lob worm. First one I ever caught had no idea what it was until just now😂
Funny little fish, aren’t they? Thanks for the comment.
Hey mate. Had a barbel yet?
Hi mate, No barbel yet but I’m hoping for one when the river season starts. 🤞
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 oh, well I’m glad you’re still after one. Some big ones out at port meadow last summer. Best fighting fish I’ve ever caught. Keep an eye on your rod as it will go 😂 predrilled Halibut pellets is all I use and I’ve had a fair few now.
10:48 What the dog doin?
cool fish
Thanks Jacque.
What a great way to spend a day
Thank you for your comment. It's a great way to spend the day; it takes your mind of any concerns and enables you to see some incredible things.
Beautiful video the pike was massive keep it up
Thanks Ronnie. Glad you enjoyed it. There’ll be more pike at the end of this month.
Top video really enjoyed it pike a double deffo well done 🎣👏
If you're right Spence, that'd be my first double pike. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a savage take from a jack yesterday which looks awesome on camera. Should be in the upcoming March video.
Pike had to of been at least 10 pounds, thing was bloody massif!!
I nearly fell over when it hit the lure.
Great work. I'll get mine started soon but I have a feeling mine will be a few steps shorter and not as detailed. We'll see once I get into it maybe I'll buy some grass and rocks and all that other happy stuff you used. Thanks for the tips.
No worries. I hope you have fun painting them.
Thanks. Have fun painting them.
Some lovely fishing spots you've found there and some nice fish caught. I too am on the hunt for my first Barbel. I wish you luck. It seems to be a tricky task to find them, especially in Oxfordshire, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait when it finally happens! Tight lines.
Thank you Matthew. I'm going to put the barbel fishing on hold 'til it warms up a bit. I'm planning a trip to the Wye in the summer but I'd love an Oxfordshire barbel. I've heard the Channel on the Thames has some so I think I'll try there again. Thanks for the comment and all the best with your barbel quest. Please let me know if you get one.
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 yes, my barbel hunt is also on hold, very much targeting the chub at the moment but there is always a chance. They are out there. I tend to fish more towards Abingdon but they are all along the river but in much lower numbers than the Wye. I've been told to focus my attention on faster water within 400m of a weir so that's going to be my plan for next year. Tight lines.
Thank you for giving us your details today, great to learn a bit about fishing on the canal!
You’re very welcome. Thanks for checking my channel out. I can recommend fishing to anyone: it’s good for the soul.
Great stuff 👋🏼
Thanks mate.
Great stuff 👍🏼 I’m looking forward to the river season opening again.
Thanks mate. Me too. i'm still up for a bit of barbel fishing too if you fancy meeting up.
Woooo
Thanks.
Very nice
Cheers bud.
Gorgeous job on those mini's !!! A few months ago, my wife and I bought Talisman, and we wanted to paint our minis as well, so I found your video with the Warrior, Wizard, Thief, etc. and in the comment section you mentioned that you used the "Army Painter Starter Kit" , well, we went out and bought that kit, thanks to your suggestion. I've just finished my mini's recently and played a great game with them and our friends. So I wanted to thank you for your tutorial, advice and video. So "Thank You" 💖 I followed your steps, and I am more than happy with the finished mini's! Our friends are amazed that I painted them so well, they spent nearly 30 minutes looking at them all and praising my work. And some of that is in thanks to you, my friend. But in the end, I chose to remove mine from their standard bases, and then glue them onto 28.5 mm Citadel bases. I wanted to do this for 2 reasons... 1) I found some characters (Ogre Chieftain especially, and the Dread, Black, and Chivalry Knights) didn't balance or stand too well on their own bases. 2) I wanted to finish the bases like I would a Warhammer character. (As you did as well, but perhaps with a little more custom or lore-friendly scenery) So I've used Army Painter "Brown Battleground" , sprinkled with "Battlefield Grass Green" , and added 1 or 2 "Jungle Tufts" , then (depending on the Character) used some tiny pebbles (which vary in colour) from my driveway lol , some tiny pieces of torn-up cork from a wine bottle we finished the other night , and some crushed Coral from the beach to use as little highlights on each base. I was even able to cut super tiny little "gold coins" from some left-over Gold ribbon form Xmas wrapping lol , and put a few "coins" at the feet of my Mistral and Thief characters (as seen in the artwork of their Character Cards). I tried to make each characters base match their own sense of immersion , while also keeping as close to the original artwork as possible ,with some creative liberties allowed here and there, of course. For example, the Sorceress is now standing in the center of 6 tiny white rocks like a 'summoning circle' , and the Prophetess has a knee-high piece of real Amethyst I broke off an old Amethyst rock ornament in the house lol, the Dread Knight has a couple skulls at the horse's feet, as does the Ghoul surrounding his gravestone. We had a blast painting and customizing each characters base this last 2 months, and now playing with them brings even more joy. Honestly, seeing our friends reaction to them was the best part of it all. Again, thank you for your videos about your own Talisman characters, as they put us on this road, which we finally completed (for now, until we buy yet another expansion pack, lol) Wopida Tanka. Mitakuye Oyasin. 💖 <- A little Native American 'Thank You' from Canada. (Feel free to look up the meaning if you're interested. It is in my Dakota language) Sorry, for the long story, I just thought I'd share, as you were kind enough to share with us in your videos.
Thanks Mohawks.
Siuuuuuuu
Thanks Ronaldo.
Awesome to see, good job
Thanks.
Great vid, thanks
Thank you mate.
Thank you lars we absolutely love it ❤️❤️
You're very welcome. Thanks for such an awesome night last night. I'm so chuffed for you both. ❤
.. okay, but it's in 240p. How does this help
I hoped to show the process. Sorry if the quality isn't good enough for you but it was the best camera I could afford at the time.
Thank you for the video! I would like to clarify one more point. Does the varnish negatively affect bushes and grass that is already glued to the stand? Not aware of this nuance? After varnishing, the grass does not turn into an incomprehensible mass? :)
You're very welcome. The grass and swamp tufts look fine as long as you don't put too much varnish on.
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 , thanks for the answer, I will be careful with the amount of varnish.
@@user-hu1bj6ek7f No problem, have fun and let me know how you get on.
hi - which kind of paints we can use?
Hi Anat, Thanks for the comment. I use Army Painter paints. Here's a link www.thearmypainter.com/. Most of the paints I use are from the starter set.
@@wychwoodmcduff7957 Thank you for the provided link!
@@Mohawks_and_Tomahawks You're very welcome.
Most inventive kill to date. 🤢
Agreed, pretty grim!
Unless you're me, who is terrified in the cellar.
And still in there, all alone... apart from the snarling beastie on the other side of the bars.
Hey thanks I recently bought paint I’m looking forward to doing this
You're very welcome. Have fun and let me know how you get on.

Thanks mate. Still getting to grips with the combat. There were a few mistakes, but the main thing is everybody seems to be enjoying themselves.
I love it :)
Cheers Craig, awesome rules.
Hi dad it's Amy it's so weird looking back at me when I was younger
Love you Am's. Xxx
I Always wanted to have som regular late war germans! Where can I find these Wehrmacht guys? I only find Blitzkrieg infantry that is too early for my Normandy scenario ideas and Grenadiers, SS or Fallschirmjäger but all I want is regular Wehrmacht soldiers without any fancy camouflage or weaponry stuff Your guys look great! Love the barbed wire on the bases!
Thank you mate. They're from Warlord games. I've got a video on how to paint them too.
cool will check that out! my problem is I cant find the box itself...only Grens, SS, Blitzkrieg Inf, Pioneers or Fallschirmjägers...no super normal regular Wehrmacht units :(
@@Gool349 here's a link store.warlordgames.com/products/german-infantry-plastic-set.
Did you find your late war Germans. They have two variations both listed as Heer Wehrmacht, summer and winter kit.
love the scenic battle sounds! great idea, do you listen to that while playing or is it just playing for the video?
Yeah we had them for the battle. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the video, very instructive. You could do with a better video camera though. Some proper close ups would help enormously. Can't really see are what you doing with clarity. I assume you are using a camera phone, hence the 'boxy' frame and lack of detail. Picture and figures rather dark to. Great to seethe process you used though.
Thanks for the constructive comments. I'll see if I can get a few more close ups next time however funds probably won't allow a better camera.
