a great vid to stir the memories of fishing the trent wi my dad back in the 70s a great way of fishing sadly not used enough by the new era of commercial fishermen there loss more of these please top man
I'm heading to Linton 😊 You should get a few grayling - the shallower areas are better, if you go in at top length it's a good walk down to below the weir.
Well done on the video John, beautiful looking river, hard lines with the lost fish and the wet foot! Not that easy to find good waders these days, I've got some dunlops which are ok but the waist , all in one neoprene style probably best way to go. Look forward to next one!
Thanks Derek. The neoprenes are good, just a bit too hot for me in summer, I'm looking at some breathable stocking foot waist wader options from a few manufacturers. Hopefully whatever I pick next will be better. The prologics looked to have a faulty seam where the boot was glued, shame as they were nice and light.
Enjoyed the video John, fished the Derwent plenty of times mate it’s a funny old river to master some big fish to be had but you can spend some time trying to find them 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, yes it's a moody beast. I've done some more on the Derwent at Sutton and was going to focus on it until this winter until the floods ruined any chance of that. Fingers crossed I'll get a session in before the season closes 🤞
@@HOOKEDFishingChannel My mate Pete who I go fishing with bumped into you at Sutton , we also was going to have a bash there not fished down there for 30yrs just purchased a 18ft/20ft Shakespeare Annex to give it ago but will have to wait a bit longer 👍
@@cabbosriverfishing2630 ah ok, think I know who you mean, I met a lot of people that day. Good call getting an Annex, nice introduction to the long rod, bit heavy at 20ft which you'll need there but a bit of counter balance will help. Yes the river has been ruined since I last went early December and looks like more going in now, still hoping there's a chance. 🤞
@@HOOKEDFishingChannel I the lad I bought it off as taken the end of the handle off and you can put different counterbalance in depending wether your fishing at 18 or 20 👍
Lovely blast from the past when I use to pleasure and match fish with my uncle Norman Linfoot there 25 years ago. Some great Dace there John and a good chub I think it was a barbel you lost but could have been a better stamp chub. 😆👍🎣🎣🎣
Yes it could have been a big chub, certainly the second one where the hook pulled, the first I think was a barbel, I've had a few out on the big gear, haven't made the vid yet. I'll give you a call tomorrow, thinking if getting to your place either Wednesday or Thursday this week.
Derwent minnows, hooked two at a time on a couple of occasions. If they were a bit bigger they'd take 22mm pellets. The barbel have the ability to find snags where there aren't any.
Been heading out to the YDAA section a few times since last year, always find the fishing quite tough on the Derwent. Usually fish feeder for chub (and barbel) but not tried float, looks like that might be the way to go to get some more fish!
Yes definitely, I struggled with the big ones on that setup though, up there you need 12lb line and 15lb braid hooklengths to get the barbel out of some of the swims - got cut off on bed rock a few times. it fishes best for barbel with a bit of extra flow and colour in if you're going static baits.
I went in to that from the car park and then under the bridge - easier than crossing the road as it was so busy with coast traffic. Otherwise you can go through the picnic area where the old mill was and walk round the flood wall. I think it's free down to the viaduct bridge on the left hand bank.
Great. Fishing well Barbel are showing only because they are panicking that's is creapin to winter and have just ordered a bag of sands worth to be introduced in winter month's. Ha. 🎣
Wicked mate, I'll pick your brains tomorrow, hopefully I'll empty it and show what your lake can really fish like. I'll bring the drone and do an aerial for you if you'd like that? Manicure the lawns 🤣
Got refunded for them, no quibble. Looking for a new pair now but think I'm going to get waist waders, probably more practical for me. Tight Lines Mark. 🎣
Hi Job . My first watch of your channel. Very enjoyable ! I notice you dont have a swivel on. How do you get on with double caster twisting the line when you retrieve? Ior is it that you have 5lb line straight through that negates line twist ?
It's a partly to do with the 5lb floatfish line fished straight through but also the fact I only used the Abu closed face with the stick, the gearing and therefore the retrieve speeds are low no matter how fast you wind unlike on an open face match reel with say a 5:1 ratio.
@@HOOKEDFishingChannel ok. I thought it might be related to the 5lb line. 90% of my stick float work is with the 506 or 507 mk1's but I still fighting with line twist despite using a swivel. However line is 3.2lb with a 2lb bottom ...... thanks for getting back to me
Lighter bottoms and high tech line will definitely cause you some twist, I use the quick change swivels now when fishing the bolo and using 0.08 to 0.13 bottoms...Reflo power line. I've also been incorporating them into my feeder rigs recently as well but line twist inevitably occurs at some point. A good old fashioned line can't really be beaten for strength and resilience and as long as the water isn't too clear you'll get away with it.
Is that the YDAA stretch John? I know Hull have a small length up there. I've only ever fished the river below Sutton - I like to sit down when I'm fishing lol
Believe it or not, it's free water these days, access isn't great since the flood wall went in and the mill was converted to flats. Hull have the pegs downstream of the bridge. There's a comfy peg above where I fished but it's tight with the overhanging trees, I've had a few barbel out if it this season on the tip gear but it really needs a bit if extra water in as landing the fish is difficult from the bank when it's low. I got cut off on the bed rock in front of it a few times before I switched to braid. I've yet to make the video but it will be coming at some point. Ideally you'd get in the river but getting out again would be awkward as the bank is steep drop in 3ft or so and it's gabion basket reinforced. Used to be able to wade up to the Weir back in the day before all the flood defences etc.
Nice Video John, my favourite type of fishing...
Old skool fishing ...cant beat it
proper fishing nothing better than river fishing
It's the holy grail 🏆
Great vid pal , can’t beat natural venues. Half these carp puddle chuckers wouldn’t have a clue how to trot a stick lol . 🎣👍🏻
Tell me about it, lol. Glad you enjoyed it.
a great vid to stir the memories of fishing the trent wi my dad back in the 70s a great way of fishing sadly not used enough by the new era of commercial fishermen there loss more of these please top man
Thanks Joe, glad you enjoyed it...there'll be plenty more running water float action in the coming weeks/months. 🎣
great way of fishing on a nice peg every ones a swimmer 🐟🐟🐟
Lovely spot isn't it. Can't beat trotting a stick for fun and keeping busy 🎣
Well done sir, most enjoyable viewing
Thanks Orazio, tight lines bud. 🎣
Great to watch, struggle to get to the rivers due to health issues, really enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it. Check out the fast water chub video if you haven't done so yet and like to watch river float fishing.
Nice one John. Unlucky on the first decent one. Nearly a disaster at 16:27 lol
Thought you'd like it J, bit of a chuckle for ya 😉
Yer Boy sounds great were on it. 😆👍🎣
It'll be thursday Andy,going on the swale wednesday. I'll call you tomorrow.

hope to see more stick float vids mate , you cant beat an acolyte and abu close face combo , ive just a 15ft plus for using on the trent
Think I'm gonna get the 15+ myself to add to the collection 😉, lovely rod, just wish they did a 17+ as well.
There'll be more stick float action coming soon enough, don't worry.
@@HOOKEDFishingChannel that extra length does make a massive difference and you need the plus for when you hook any bonus fish
Agreed, right tool for the job in hand.
Derwent minnows, hooked two at a time on a couple of occasions. If they were a bit bigger they'd take 22mm pellets. The barbel have the ability to find snags where there aren't any.
Don't they just, got a few out on other days though, video to come.

Oh damn, I'm going on the Swale tomorrow, hope it's not minnow city again!
Hello John what a crakin peg some lovely face and a nice chub do you prefer natural waters or commercials .
It's naturals for me but I don't mind a commercial session or two but mostly fish them in the cooler months for the silver's.
Nothing worse, than one leg.of the waders.full of water.honesty is the best. 👍🏻

Is their a bit of extra water in or is it always that colour
It was carrying a bit extra, there had been a few heavy showers the days before filming that, it had definitely coloured up a bit.
