For the best viewing watch the video in 720 by 60p The reason i didn't upload this video sooner is the fact that the camera setting were all wrong when filming, but changing the viewing quality fixes the imperfections. Hope you enjoy and im looking forward to getting out and doing some more barbel and chub fishing. Well when the weather warms up and IT STOPS BLOODY RAINING!
Izaak Walton deemed chub inedible Personally I love seeing them. And barbel are Britains greatest fighting fish... Great session that yields both! David
Barbels hit like tanks! A couple years ago I had hooked a 15cm long barbel on a cheap 2m telescoping fiberglass rod and it snapped the top section of the rod like it wasn't even there! Absolutely beatiful fish! Greetings from Kosova🖐.
Been trying to get a decent video together this winter. Really inspired by watching yourself and a few others so started my own fishing channel. First year targeting pike and its been a real struggle to get any decent footage let alone actually catch fish. If its not lockdown causing an issue its the rain/ floods. Looking forward to being able to travel further to the better venues with good weather! 🤞 Awesome content mate 👏 really enjoy watching your videos!
Hey man, you should check out a J-hook mount for your chest camera. That way you can aim it up more so we can see everything you see! Love the channel man.
Good video thanks for putting it out, just shows you don't need all the fancy expensive tackle to go fishing, thought that reel did very well. You have a good skill set which I hope youngsters take note of how to play fish and not panic.
Great vid. having watched underwater footage of barbel feeding over beds of hemp or pellet it doesnt seem that they are too fussy about any specific flavoured pellet. anyone any views about the use of pellets boilies not being good for fish in terms of whats in them and how long they take to break down.?
broke my PB. in august on the trent 11lb1oz,we were using feeders weighted to 7.5oz and 14mm halibut pellets.best fighting fish in england!btw, syndicate member I was with took a 14 lb +.....
Just getting back into fishing and have just moved back to York so there are a few barbel rivers locally. Will be going after them with the same rig and I'll get some of those pellets and feed ordered!
Ive not fished a small river since moving up to lincolnshire 5 or so years ago. What are the small rivers you fish for barbel. I miss that that buzz of stalking them it's just not the same on the trent!!
I live in area that has 3 rivers, a canal and 3-4 ponds, but I'd absolutely love to be able to fish a small sized river like this that holds a wide variety of fish. The 2 smaller rivers where I live are rammed with just trout and grayling, the bigger river, the Ure is OK, but finding the fish seems to be becoming more of a nightmare as time goes on for some reason.
You'll have to get on the UL lures for those trout I bet that's great fun. And my local river is gradually dying. Fish stocks are getting less and less every year it's sad to see as it used to be so prolific at one time
hi mate I absolutely love your videos I have watched nearly all of them on TH-cam I have love fishing for ages but have only recently started getting right into it and getting myself geared up I was just wandering what is you honest opinion on the abu Garcia black max and pro max combo as a beginner bait caster or could you recommend a good rod and reel around the same price thank you very much and keep up the amazing work you have kept me sane through lockdown
Beautiful barbels. Well done! I have a question and if someone could answer me it would be very nice. Why are barbels hardly ever fly-fished? I know it is more than an institution to catch him with pellets or meat in England but it's a great fighter with a fly rod. If a fly fisherman has an opinion on this it's nice to share it. Thank you! ;)
Just removed the led and let the pellet roll with the flow. Sometimes add a little weight like split shot to help it drag along the bottom a little better
@@danielgeorge4596 barbel are amazing when you hook them they go upstream into the current there amazing fish i have caught many pike there great fighters but the barbel is my favorite,para
That's another Barbel with a hook stuck in its mouth!!!! That's what happens when u fish snaggy rivers for Barbel using 6lb line!!!!!!! As soon as u said u were using 6lb line I thought "that's light". And I was proved correct more than once. Please learn from that fella....
Barbel are thought to be a species of riverine carp/grass carp,very powerful swimmers.up to 20lb+.any barbel over 10lb is considered to be a specimen fish.
@@Esoxlucius51 that is cool could tell there a strong fighting fish can you eat them. Unfortunately I don't know alot about England and its fish if that is where u are. What else I was wondering do your salmon spawn in that small river and trout as well. Thanks for reply have a good day and remember keep your line tight and your BBQ hot.
@@ericluscombe3272 we do not catch and cook in England. Only game fish are acceptable to take. People don't take kindly to those who take these or non game fish and may be nice and call the police or be so not nice and beat the shit out of you 😬😂
Probably be as consistent as you can with uploads. I've been doing this about 8 years and at one point my channel nearly died because I was just never uploading
@@The_ginger_fisherman thats all well and good and im not disputing that you can land fish on that tackle but to fish for something that is notorious for exhuasting itself i think its unfair to fish so light, you are stressing the fish so much more and massively increasing the chance of leaving a hook in a fish, all for an extra bite or 2, theres nothing wrong with 10 or 12 lb hooklinks wich are far safer

Not many barbel rivers locally so great to see you catch them!
Cracking fish, lovely colours on the Barbel and Chub. Gunning for my FIRST river Barbel this year, and some big perch!
Great video so well pike video's as chub video's i watch it all!!!!
Hey man, you should check out a J-hook mount for your chest camera. That way you can aim it up more so we can see everything you see! Love the channel man.
Love your videos but the pike fishing ones are definitely the best 😂
Great video as usual Chris. Just a thought but a swan shot link leger might work too on Autumn days with low,clear water like that..
Good video thanks for putting it out, just shows you don't need all the fancy expensive tackle to go fishing, thought that reel did very well. You have a good skill set which I hope youngsters take note of how to play fish and not panic.
Never caught a Barbel. No waters locally that hold them. Great to see them!
Catching fish is in your DNA.. Wonderful! 🐟
Awesome man. Keep it up
Wish I could catch a barbel in my local river (Suffolk stour) there so rare but I know I'll eventually have luck. Great vid!
Good luck buddy
Lovely catch from what appears to be a small river..

Super vid .Many thanks
Nice one Chris 👍

Great video as ever. Just one question what make are those waders
Hi ur the best I always want to catch a barble
What rod and reel you using there man I need to add a chub/ barbel rod to Arsenal
Just getting back into fishing and have just moved back to York so there are a few barbel rivers locally. Will be going after them with the same rig and I'll get some of those pellets and feed ordered!
Good luck matey
Great video..wonderful..😊but not lockdown for you mate?not tier 4?🤭it's allowed this period?
Ginger man,love your fishing could u tell people were u are fishing
Hi! Nice video! Do you have only rod licence,or you pay day ticket or any membership for this rivers? Thanks
All that I use is a bit of bread and it works like a charm
I fished that peg a month back and had a 10lb barbel, my first barbel was a lovely fish
Where is this ? Thanks

@@The_ginger_fisherman One of the rivers is fly fishing only and the other has had a ban on lure fishing for as long as I can remember :(
What Reel were you using mate .? NGT CK30?
hi enjoy your vids but i do think 6lb hooklink a little light for barbel even chub at times
hi mate I absolutely love your videos I have watched nearly all of them on TH-cam I have love fishing for ages but have only recently started getting right into it and getting myself geared up I was just wandering what is you honest opinion on the abu Garcia black max and pro max combo as a beginner bait caster or could you recommend a good rod and reel around the same price thank you very much and keep up the amazing work you have kept me sane through lockdown
Their spot on mate. The pro max was my first low profile reel and I cant fault it
@@The_ginger_fisherman amazing thank you very much keep up the awesome videos mate
thats a monster for that little river
What waders are you using? Would you recommend them?
Nice video
Honestly these are some cheap 15 quid ones from ebay and they do the job to be fair
Wish there were rivers like this near me

I’d say it’s because they’re bottom feeders
👍
How exactly are you free lining the pellets mate?
Just removed the led and let the pellet roll with the flow. Sometimes add a little weight like split shot to help it drag along the bottom a little better
@@The_ginger_fisherman nice one, will give it a go! Keep up the chub and barbel videos, they’re awesome
Where abouts are u located mate
The barbel best fighting coarse fish ever especially the river wye,para
what about pike tho

It's not snaggy at all down there, only the overhanging tree is a problem
СУПЕР ! ЛАЙК !
the vid is in 1080p by 60p
Super.....
Are Barbel a native fish in the UK?
Yeh mate, but I think tons of rivers are stocked with em
What river is it I want to give it a try 🐟🎣🎣🐟🎣🐟🎣🐟
most fisherman don’t like giving away their spots lad
the video quillity got quit good at 5 minute 44
Hey how are you where are you England I'm guessing. Never seen these fish before are they a type of carp I'm guessing or are they type of catfish.

Hey man just read your message again I owe u an apology I miss read what you said so again my apologies
Are you Doms brother?
Awesome video bud I’ve just started a TH-cam and was wondering if you had any tips and keys to success in TH-cam b
Thanks

What rod is this
Korum barbel rod
Ginger catch live perch use it pike bait
Use heavier line!
why would he? 6lb line is what most of people use for barbel
Good work mate. I’ve just started a channel myself and pinged an intro video on if you’d like to check it out
You may just have a soul after that.
Probably not
first
Shut up
Lad it doesn’t matter if your first
You okes are harsh, the guy is just amped for the video.
@@jamesshamley6577 I mean why does any one care if he’s first to watch the video tho
@@keanecliff4247 no one cares tbh
Get off them 6lb hooklinks pleaseee 🤦🏻♂️painful to watchh
Usually use 4lb 🤷♀️
