You’ve made my day 🙂 Glad you’ve stumbled on them and really happy that you’re enjoying them. There’s quite a catalogue now! Thanks for checking out the channel and for the kind words 👍👍👍
Fast becoming my favourite fishing channel. Find you very personable, not some fucking know-it-all rushing through everything and making assumptions the audience already knows things. Excellent work, keep em coming
Congrats to dan his face was a picture lol. Another great piece of work there mate. Really enjoyed that 1. Quick question for ya nick. Can you find chub in canals?
I have learned more about perch, pike and other fish types of fishing just watching your videos and learned alot more and if you put the effort in you can catch good fish
Hiya nick hope your keeping well mate. So i had a session on the canal yesterday i tried out the dropshot and also a little 2.5cm rattling crankbait. No luck atall unfortunately 😔.
@@Lifeonthebank well its funny you say that mate. Me n my mate have got this coming weekend on the river as a last shot before the close season. Ill let you know how i get on. Good luck to you yoo mate the next time your out 👍.
Hiya nick hows things. Well want a terrible day i had Saturday, no fish atall..again. AND, my rod tip snapped on its first day out!!! Good luck for tomorrow mate, hope you have a better 1 than i did. 😞
Good Fishin! Although I do advocate putting a bank stick in by the edge of the river ( something to grab if you do go in , I may or may not be speaking from experience!) 🙈 well done Nick 🙌🏻
Hi Nick, is there any reason you hair rig the meat when chub fishing? Everything I've read suggests that hair rigging is a no-no for hitting chub bites.
If I’m fishing static (with a ledger) I hair rig. If I’m letting the bait move (rolling meat or very light ledger I don’t). Just the way I’ve always done it. How about you? What’s your approach?
@@Lifeonthebank thanks that's interesting, I have to say that I'm torn because everybody tells me to avoid hair rigging but I caught my best ever chub with hair rigged pellet wrapped in paste 🤔. I'll definitely give hair rigged meat a go with those new meat stops.
What are you using for bite indication? I have an opportunist rod and I cant imagine the tip being sensitive enough to show up shy chub bites but you've seemed to get on ok with it 🤣👍
I absolutely hear where you’re coming from. I’m also using 10lb hooklength and a heavy lead too! 🤣 Not a lot of finesse here is there! Lol. A lighter tip is a good idea but I wanted a shorter rod cos of the confined space. Also the water was really pushing through and a double figure barbel is very possible on that stretch. At the weekend I’m trotting maggots for them. Completely different, 12ft float rod, 4 or 6lb line. What’s your preferred set up out of interest?
Thanks for the reply 👍😁 I've actually just got home from a little session on a small river, had 2 barbel out nothing big, 1 was 3lb 6oz and the other was 4lb 5oz 😁 I fish for the barbel and chub ledgering with my 5-17 gram dropshot rod and a small running rig using the korum running rig pack, I use a 10lb braid mainline a 10gram lead and 8lb hooklink to a size 6 hook with spam. It's amazing fun catching barbel on ultra light gear! No matter the size they put up such a fight!!😂. Haven't really found a place for my opportunist yet bar floater fishing for carp. Love the vids keep um coming!
How were you spotting bites? I noticed you touch ledgering at one point but there were other times when you weren't? Was there enough movement on the tip or were you watching the line? I only ask as I would rather not have to take the bite alarms etc and there's a few spots were my opportunist really would be the best weapon of choice 🤣
Yeah, I think touch ledgering is quite a good way of getting away with a slightly heavier rod. You’re basically feeling for the bite. I was doing this as much as possible by you know what it’s like, the rod was put down fairly often. Thanks for the comments and fir watching the vids 👍👍👍
Excellent vlog Nick PS i like the name of your pub lol.
What a perch, great job man
Can I just say Nick, just found your videos. Amazing work :)

So pleased that you find some of the vids useful. Definitely, effort equals reward! Good luck with your fishing!!!! 👍👍👍
Great Perch Dan. Nick would you use the Opportunist rod for Tench on the float?
Thx matey :)
It’s a bit stiff tbh but I used it last year for tench and they were fine. I was fishing a very weedy water so welcomed the extra backbone.
That a carona skin head nick? Lol! Good video mate, good angling👌
Ha ha ..... lockdown haircut. Shave it all off, one less thing to think about! Lol. Thanks for checking out the video mate.
coming right from your canon vs iphone video, this start looked familiar 😀
Multi tasking 🤣 Thanks for checking it out mate. 👍
Hiya nick hope your keeping well mate. So i had a session on the canal yesterday i tried out the dropshot and also a little 2.5cm rattling crankbait. No luck atall unfortunately 😔.
Unlucky mate. Same for me at the weekend. Last couple of weeks of the season I reckon mate 👌
@@Lifeonthebank well its funny you say that mate. Me n my mate have got this coming weekend on the river as a last shot before the close season. Ill let you know how i get on. Good luck to you yoo mate the next time your out 👍.

Hiya nick hows things. Well want a terrible day i had Saturday, no fish atall..again. AND, my rod tip snapped on its first day out!!! Good luck for tomorrow mate, hope you have a better 1 than i did. 😞
Crap. At the weekend I lost two fish and accidentally smashed my iPhone! Welcome to the club! 🤣
Good Fishin! Although I do advocate putting a bank stick in by the edge of the river ( something to grab if you do go in , I may or may not be speaking from experience!) 🙈 well done Nick 🙌🏻
I think I’ll take your advice on that!!!! Water was a bit cold too! 🤣 Thanks for checking it out.

Ill grab a beer.

I insist on it!!! Cheers 🍺
There isn't anything as aggressive looking as a 3lb perch. Not even pike!
They really are awesome arn't they. I just love 'em.
My mum said do you like a wet fish
Love a wet fish!!! 🤣🤣🤣
