I start a new campaign at Todber Manor on Willow Bank in search of one fish. Big Red. It might take weeks, months, years.. or I may never catch her. Either way it’s a beautiful lake home to some stunning fish!

Com mon Aaron. Watching now
What a good vlog pal. I really struggle doing nights on my own .
Solid bags mate, absolute game changer on that lake
What a refreshing and honest video.
If you ever need a fishing buddy give me a shout. I’m from down this neck of the woods and have only been fishing a couple years myself
Great honest video loved it , looking forward to the next one 😂
I always try to be honest and be myself in my videos! Thank you so much!
Nice one 👍👍 autumn is tough ..gotta be organised...check out the photo gear from rhinotech really helps with the self takes etc .... Always get the bivvy/brolly out to dry ... I was the guy down the other end @treelees - that rain was savage ..💥🌈
Ah no way! How did you get on? Cheers for the info mate will deffo look into that! I just had a pretty negative mindset on that session I think
@@southcoastangler 2 mid doubles to PVA bags and 2 20's over a spot of 2kg of boilies... Great session 👍
I love fishing in these kinds conditions when you land a fish you know you have earned it, keep at it mate you will begin to enjoy the winter carping
yeah i think i just need some waterproofs and a bit of getting used to!
Waterproofs will defo help you keep dry and warm, you will enjoy it more I Allways have a good book for those long nights too 😂
Great Video mate!!
Get what you mean completely with capturing the moment. Get a small led light for the camera shoe if you're using a dslr 👍
Nice vlog mate I'm not a winter fisherman either 😅😅
great video and some good comments im not hard core just enjoy it bivvy clean it dry iy over the landing handrail staying possitive is hard but keep it going at least you're out there A1
Thank you pal! Sometimes when you go fishing you’re just not feeling it! It’s strange because I’ve not been in that kind of mood before when fishing
Great video Aaron, don’t give up the winter campaign, stay positive. Hope to see you on the bank sometime soon.
Thank you mate! I think I was just having a bit of a down day! I can’t get inside my own head at times but that’s a story for another time! Hope you’re doing well mate!
Awesome Video Mate
Fished that lake a few times brilliant lake, my mate had big red about a foot of the pellet feeder, he had a whole lead clip system bottom bait rig inside a massive pva bag. Absolute shocker had no right to catch it 😂
It’s always the way! Fair play to him though it’s a lovely fish!
Most enjoyable watch, keep em coming.
Thank you it means a lot! 💪🏼
Good move , they do respond to bait in the winter .
Aaron - Willow Bank is a PVA bag water, keep recasting every hour or so and you will have them steadily on there, even in winter. They are just so accustomed to pva bags now. Good luck!
that makes sense to be fair mate! theres always next time ;)
I would suggest pva bags or like you did too start mesh bags are also a good tactic, don’t loose your head and second doubt yourself
Also don’t look into it being a big fish cause you snapped off being mono it could be a number of things line could of been week/damaged or twisted through playing fish with a loose drag or reeling with the drag causes line twist so better too back wind in my opinion and if you had set the drag too locked up it won’t take a lot too snap..
Also with the bivvy don’t zip the bag all the way up leave it open abit so air can get in and let it breath 👍
Thank you for the tips and the advice! It’s all one big learning curve for me so any advice is welcome and will be taken onboard! Tight lines 🎣
Regarding the bivvy give it a good airing, groundsheet as well, keep at it, don’t give up and be positive, you caught! Your just under prepared, good set of waterproofs and plenty of spare clothes (socks are a must) don’t drink cider if your cold! 😅😅 have a soup, trust me you’ll learn to love it ❤
you clearly are more sensible then me mate i was just winging it haha
Aaron, take it back out & allow to dry.
Whenever we have used our family tent , we have pulled back out and allowed to dry naturally
Cheers mate! 👌🏼
class vid mate getting into the winter is tuff even day sessions i bring a winter suit with me i reccomend fox
cheers pal!
Great video Aaron keep the good work up
Thanks 👍
Winter carp fishing is the best , hardly any body there , just need to do it more. It’s worth the effort.
Yeah I think I’m just not prepared enough for it.. I need to get some waterproofs and a cup of man up 😅
Haha welcome to Colder fishing...its gnarly ain't it! Just take as much stuff to make you as comfortable as possible! Pheasant wouldn't last long with me around...taste lovely! 🤣 I'm booked onto big Hayes for spring next year with a couple of mates...give me a shout on FB if you fancy knowing what day and joining 👍
I’ve been waiting for you to upload for a while mate what’s going on!?!
@@southcoastangler out at shearwater on Monday....always seems like I just miss Ben ! 🤣 be time to film a Christmas special....and get through first proper cold overnighter. Last overnighter I did was on a barge boat so wernt too bad with a log burner 🥵
Great video mate. Winters can be gruelling and I can imagine the difficulties involved with trying to film it all too for us. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate it’s not always easy!
hi mate instead of using a pva bag go solid bag on 1 rod and maybe rod 2 a popup with 4or 5 maggots tied on top any way nice fish good look
Yes mate I’ve recently learned about the trimmed pop up and maggot technique! Thanks mate!
Great video Aaron, tough conditions, but not having proper waterproofs is a rookie mistake. Being comfortable is such a must. Fishing on your own at night can do your head in after a while but keep going bud 👍🏻
You live and your learn mate 😅 cheers 👍🏼
Little hays / big hays live system bottom baits with blood worm pellets and hemp and blood worm liquid. Soak a pot of boilies in amino 365 and cover in glm powder . Don’t use pellets on big hays , bream . I’ve had multiple catch’s on this . 24 fish in 36 hours on little Hayes
Don’t giveaway all your secrets mate ;) but I’ve noted that! Thanks!
Quality fish. Definitely would have left it in the sling tied up until the rain past 😂 good angling
It’s you’re first year keep going , best fish I’ve had have been during the winter .
It only takes one take , get the bait in
You’re not wrong mate - maybe it takes a bit of getting used to!
Keep going
Try out back leads I like to use them if I’m casting at a distance even more so if fishing both on the same spot works a treat and takes them single bleeps away from liners
I’m on it nowwww
Don't lose heart mate, I fish willowbank a fair bit and it's a funny lake, if they're on it in your spots it can be a great lake but at other times you wonder if there's any fish in there! I'd also love to get big red, one day I will catch it!
Also pva bags to the far bank are usually a winning tactic, as tight to the reeds as you can get
Thanks for the advice mate and if ever you see me down there coke say hi! If we are both there and one of us nets big red I’m sure we’d both be happy for each other and get some banging shots 📸
Enjoyed that mate don’t be to worried you just wasn’t prepared for the weather, 2 things for me and don’t mean to sound patronising but this is autumn fishing mate not winter fishing yet wait till January/February then your be a lot colder then 😂 and seeing you only just started in March I wouldn’t even be considering a campaign for a certain fish or chasing 20s and 30s just enjoy your fishing and enjoy it don’t worry about anything bud, your still going to be learning alot mate, I’ve been doing it for a very long time and still learning everytime I go. Look forward to the next one mate 👍
Thanks for the comment mate! I’m not too sure if you’ve followed my journey but I’ve been catching carp since I was a toddler! However I grew up more into the match angling scene, pole fishing, feeder, waggler etc.. so I’m not new to fishing as such but new to ‘carp fishing’ I spent the first few months of the year learning the basics because before moving onto some waters with bigger fish in. I broke a PB (12lbs) early summer.. I then broke it again (15lbs) mid summer and at the back end of summer I was hunting a 20 which I got! I am always learning and very happy to catch carp of any size but as I’m also making videos I wanted to set myself a few targets as this would make an entertaining series for my TH-cam channel whilst keep me on my toes while fishing! I was definitely unprepared for this trip. A lot has been learned from this one!
@@southcoastangler ah sorry mate didn’t realise that 🤣 literally only started watching your vids about a month or so ago, I’ll take it back and ignore what I said lol really enjoy your videos tho so keep up the good work mate
@@Rich-bp3wi not a problem at all mate! But honestly I do appreciate the feedback and I do read my comments and take everything on board! Thanks for watching the videos 👌🏼
Oh I didg find it amusing mate. I once fell in on a 48he stint when setting up I get dropped off by my misses no spare clothes had to put my socks on the frying pan to dry them out much to my mates amusement .it's all a learning curve.bung a bag of spare clothes in the boot of your car and take a hot water bottle and plenty of grub and winter can be very rewarding.. Good luck on your venture don't give up and youl get there.
Thank you for those inspirational lessons! Now if ever I get wet socks I know just what to do! 😂 10/10 for effort! Cheers mate!
Pussy, man up, it’s not even cold yet 😂 Good vlog, good luck with the hunt. Subscribed 👍
Haha just not used to it! Thank you mate 🙏🏼
less is more on that lake mate single solids are the one ive had twix 3 times and 4 other 30s in there peg 7 8 9 in winter mate about 3 ft off the far margin
Thank you so much! I’ve only fished it once so any help is welcome! Good job on Twix I’d love to catch her too!
Hi Aaron, really enjoying the videos buddy. Where do you get the plum pellets from?
Thank you! You can find plum pellets or even just plum flavouring many places online! These ones were from matchbaits uk 👍🏼
If Big red hardly gets caught then do something different to everyone else (like a single in the middle for example) . Might be worth a try!
That definitely crossed my mind! It’s just the first time I fished that water so wanted to get my eye in!
Pretty sure big red doesn’t do winter bites at all mate
Happy days that rain was awful! 😂
What headtorch was you using
it's from Reeds Comfort mate - check it out online!
I leave my bivvy in the bag no matter how it goes bk 😂
Haha roughing it! Fair play!
