Great film , for me when you loose the pleasure in catching small fish it's time to pack fishing in and too many anglers today have lost that sense of fun.
@JohnHooper-o4c most just want the biggest fish but tbh fishing isn't about that for me fishing is about getting out being on the bank amongst nature doesn't matter if you blank or not or how big the catch is
I’m an American fisherman. We don’t have medieval moats to fish in! Very cool place. Sometimes just sitting by a pond catching small fish on a float like a child is just right.
@@2msvalkyrie529 We don’t have them in South Carolina, yet. I can send some wild hogs if you want. Those are definitely the worst things for the environment here.
Glad your channel found me. Just like fishing the creek next to my neighborhood. You probably won't catch anything big, but you'll be catching fish, and that's all that truly matters. Take a kid fishing.
Very cool, what a wonderful place to take a little one. You were so kind to the little boy and he was adorable. I bet with a bigger hook and bigger bait you could catch a fairly good sized fish. I love learning about the history in your part of the world. United States here in the state of Idaho. Thank you for sharing. Fishing is my favorite thing to do for relaxation and fun. Have a good day
As i'm new to your channel i had no idea what to expect from that moat as well as from this video. I am very surprised how wholesome 'fishing content' can be. Well spent time watching this, thank you. Greetings from Germany.
American here-fisherman & medieval history enthusiast. I loved this video. As small & many as the fish may be, fishing a spot like this would be a blast for me 😂
@bootdownthedoor324 thanks for watching. I have had a lot of Americans comment on this video which is usually very rare for me. Seems a lot of you have enjoyed the novelty of the location 😁
Great to see fish stocks back! I used to take my boys there for an amazing fishing-at-a-Castle experience around 2014 to 2016. We'd take a picnic. I had a rod licence and we were never questioned. We caught small roach and perch and it was so cool. Then we went in 2018 and all the fish had disappeared. Turns out there had been some pollution in 2017 which wiped them out. Thanks for sharing and great to see that (hopefully) other youngsters can have the adventures that mine did... fishing in a moat at a Castle!
I have built a moat round my caravan , got a full drawbridge and a defensive tower both built from recycled pallets . An Englishmans home is his castle after all .
Superb that. Fishing for fishing's sake, just enjoying being out. Lovely place too by the look of it. Shame you didnt get time for a swift pint but sure thatll happen soon! Great watch.
I often fish here in my city of Denver, Colorado, where there is a river and small lakes. I find it just as enjoyable as driving an hour up to some mountain lake. Thanks from the States
Grow up near an old castle in Germany with a moat and woods with several lakes around it. Fishing them got really exciting there as the old Baron used to do patrolling rounds with his shotgun 😬
The history alone of the moat, and how few folks have probably fished in it over the centuries, is food for thought. You may have sat in the same location as a bloke 600 years ago, and caught the same type of fish!
Brilliant video. I love fishing but mixing it with a beautiful West Country village and ancient castle with moat was sublime. As someone else commented the interaction with people and especially the little boy was heartwarming. Well done!!
Great video some lovely fish too miniature in perfection. A big well done to the guardians of the young lad you had interactions with. What a well mannered young lad.
Just got back from a session with the method feeder today and had a blast catching bream upto 6lb. But to come home and have a video to watch tops it all off. Thank you!!!
I sure do. Been really enjoying the varied content lately. As a coarse angler I love not knowing what's going to take the bait. Had a gorgeous roach of about a pound today as well. Nature, has all the best stuff to do!!!
Awesome watch joe just as I started fishing on the float fishing Caerphilly moat 40+ years ago great fun onto the next adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊

So true about fisherman looking at water different! Just a glimpse a pond driving by and you think "Could it hold big fish? Is it private?" I hate being near a body of water without a fishing rod!
Never knew you could fish in Nunney moat, I’m not a fisherman so wouldn’t really know but it’s very cool you can! Live a few miles from there it’s such a lovely place!
@@nuffinbutfishing Yeah, I’ve been wanting to get into fishing. Would be a perfect spot to start, going to watch more of your content as I don’t know anything about fishing and need to learn it before it try it! Thank you for replying!
Thank you for this awesome and educational video. You’re the first angler I’ve watched from England - looking forward to exploring your content! Cheers 🍻🥂
Grate little place to take the kids. I live in Spain and take mine to a lake not so far had some great memories with them fishing. Great channel as well bro first time I’ve come across one of your video I will be watching more
my grand mother used to put ground bait down off the slip way to the larger boats in her local Marina in Belfast to attract shoal's of mullet when she was in her teens , then she would blast them with saw'n off shotguns filled with pretty much anything sharp and metal, screws ball bearings etc, they are real tough to catch due to their mushy gob, however cooked right they are absolutely delicious
Hello mate, my dad has been a keen fisherman all his life. But he’s stopped now as he’s 83 next. At 42 I’m keen to get involved and I have two young boys that would love it. Looks like it’s time to get some tackle off my dad.
I’m sure you could sell those gold fish to a pet store or garden shop for people that have little yard ponds. Carp are the best garden fertilizers you will ever have.
I enjoyed this but i wondered if you wet your hands before handling the fish? A small container next to you helps if you don’t want to reach down to the water. I fish and I can assure you dry hands damage fish badly. All the best.
@@nuffinbutfishingIf it isn't illegal to fish there, you absolutely should have been hostile. These people won't ever be detered from acting like that if they don't have to shoulder some manner of consequence for it even just a simple scolding. it would do them some good really. They do that because people don't stand up for themselves.
My favorite video of yours in ages!! The public interactions, the location and so many cool fish!! Love it!

Believe or not wild boar have made a big and accidental comeback in the South and west of England. Beavers too.
Faith in humanity restored. Wonderfully well spoken child and mother. 😊
That moat needs perch in it. Keep the goldfish and small carp in check and who doesn’t want to catch a big Perch? 👍🏻
@@expatalan6511 they would have a feast! 🤣
Needs an appaloosa catfish and some bass
Or a pike?

If you want to catch one of the larger Carp in that moat, I recommend ledgering prawn or squid - trust me.
