Over here in Canada, we release fish right after catching them, unless they go on a stringer or in the cooler. I really like the idea of that catch bag(?) so that you could see your fish again before letting them go at the end of the day.
its called a keep net, mostly used in competitive matches to weigh the fish at the end of the match when the total weights are used to determine the winner.
Brilliant, James has the tackle sorted that's for sure, I used the 14ft match #1 last weekend using 0.12 hook length and was very impressed with the rod after landing 3 big Chub, think it's going to have a few more outings when I'm targeting those Chub again in the future! And goes without saying yet another quality video production.
Not sure I agree when lines are rated in lbs you have a good idea at when they will break. (In theory). But with all the different manufacturers and line diameters a point .12 in suffix might be 8lb but in Bayer only 3lb
@@smitbar11 Breaking strain and dia are both given on the spool , and usually in lbs an kgs , bs figures are mostly BS anyway and often depends on balance of tackle .
makes it look easy.i wish i could fish the float on rivers as well as james does.🙄also i wish my golden retriever was as well behaved as this labrador.
james a cracking video as all ways //could you include ware on the river you are and the club that control the venue //as it would be nice to try different waters,,and you show that its worth ago//as a lot of anglers go to a river only to find its hard going or over grown ,,or the local yobs //are around..it would be nice to have a guide as to good safe fishing..as there are few guides for rivers these days all of witch put a lot of anglers off rivers ,,and thats a shame..cheers james //and tight lines .///
A friend of James allows him access to this stretch and we respect his desire for privacy. By and large, where we can, we do give full details at the end of most videos. Sometimes, we have to compromise though, apologies for that! There is a lot of of the Avon where you won't be bothered by anyone, just have to avoid the bits near 'people'...sadly, and get right out into the countryside.
Cadence Fishing UK reminds me of Twyford Farm where I fished a lot in the 80's and 90's and had a lot of success in matches. Got to know the likes of Dave Harrell, Paul Newall and the late John Coates who all gave me a lot of help to improve my river fishing.
Robert Moore with all due respect Robert, why are barbel any more or less 'special' than any other species? It's personal choice and there are no rules against putting barbel in a keepnets, particularly in matches.
A barbels fins are particularly stiff and can easily become tangled in the net. There are other species that don't do well in keep nets pike and grass carp.
Hook size 17? Is it now necessary to have hook sizes between the conventional even numbers or is it just a hook salesmen gimmick. Would you choose a 17 because you think an 18 is too small and a 16 too big?
I was using a Kamasan B711 size 17. I really like the size of the hook and it works really well for me. Not bothered about the number used to classify the size. I find hook sizes vary massively between manufactures and with different patterns. Best just to find a reliable pattern and size and stick to it!
Great video again but with brexit can we go back to line strength in terms of lbs and Oz then I will have a clue about what strength line you are using and anyone else making vids is using. Can't wait to buy a pint of maggots again!
Paul Harrison fair point Paul, but diameter ratings as just as easy to comprehend and its all about fishing fine as possible to achieve the best presentation. Modern lines allow this.
Hi Paul, its a good point as I know a lot of anglers still go on breaking strain for line, not diameter. I'll try and mention the breaking strain as well as diameter in the future. Cheers James
paul agree with you B S you can test L D is more difficult //as you mention .each company has the same L D and they break all over the place i think L D is in vogue,,at the moment///but it does not mean any thing other than the diameter //but what good is that when you can/t tell when it breaks ,,pointless ,//unless you test it,well may as well just do that breaking strains ,,.if it aint broke why change it//
There will come a day when this guy is not going to feel like totting all that much fishing tackle just to do a little fishing. At 77 years old... believe me... I know what I am saying. You don't need to bring along that much stuff just to go fishing.
You need one 13ft rod in a cloth bag, a slim 2 metre take apart landing net handle, a rucksack containing, landing net, maggot box, small tackle box with floats, shot, hooks, disgorger, hooklength spools, scissors......reel, beer towel for hands, catapult, flask, sandwich 👍 Oh, and I take a slim Preston ready hook length box as well, takes no room up and saves you trying to tie hooks with cold hands in winter 👍
How could you not love fishing after watching videos like these...brilliant stuff again........most informative
These progs should really be on mainstream TV, best fishing progs since John Wilson.
Lovely Lab,he really looks like he's trying to read the river😂
I haven't fished for over 30 years but I love watching your videos. Monty looks like he was enjoying himself on the bank as well.
Cheers mate
Get back out there I just started again after well over 30 years. The gear is really cheap and better quality than the past as well.
Wonderful James, Chappy and Monty as always. That really was a beautiful chub 18 minutes in. Thank you. Paul 😊👍

Yeah.its nice to properly check how big the fish were before letting them go.
fantastic video james, cant beat a days stick float fishing, well explained with plenty of tips, love it thank you
Very nice video and lovely quality fish. Cheers! 🎣
Really enjoy these, so informative and so well presented, thanks.
The Colours on that Rudd was really nice well done nice video. Loved the Barbel nice catch
Brilliant, thanks once again.
fantastic film, nice barbel and chub. great music too.
Nice location, used to fish the Avon 30 odd years ago. Good Chub and Barbel. And your dogs great, well behaved and a good fishing companion.
Brilliant again James an great tackle & info
James shows you how good cadences rods are, a 1# rod taming big chub and barbell
Brilliant James.
Great video James. Thank you for the well explained tips.
Good skills James and lovely camera work as always. Thank you
thanks (chappy)

Great video again hopefully ill get a few on the stick on the wye tomorrow
great stuff james as usual
Great video James and some very useful tips. Love your dog and hope he's alright as it looked like he was chewing on giant hogweed.
Good video and tips,that chub was a beauty .
one of the most stunning chub i've ever recorded!!!

exactly, breaking strain is a much better system than metric decimal diameters, probably another EU related idea lol

Hi, very nice video as always and helpful tips.
Can I ask if you can make a video for long distance and heavy float, about 10gr or more.
Thank you
bullit1973 not too many venues where that style is fished n UK. But we will certainly consider it.

A nice bag of fish that Jamie, you did well to land that barbel ......How does that rod feel balance wise ?
Porky Saint excstacy!😀👍
Nice session, but do you really need to put the barbel in the keepnet?

A barbels fins are particularly stiff and can easily become tangled in the net. There are other species that don't do well in keep nets pike and grass carp.
Was it Best Pro you recommended for your hook lengths?
Some tackle for a short session
I prefer to release Barbel straight after capture. No need to stress them out by bagging them.
Suppose dragging them from the water by a line and sharp hook isn't stressful then?🤔
