Hi mate thanks so much for sharing this! I have been out of UK past 33 years and shall be returning soon finally! I am looking forward to fishing my local gravel pit membership again :)I plan to start back fishing slowly again both by float fishing for silver fish for a season before hopefully moving onto Tench and maybe Carp in the same lake maybe a season after. I am very greatfull for these tips as its been so long!! Big Thanks mate:)
Matt I have been waiting for this video as your first one disappeared just as I was getting into it.I will make sure I dont lose this one, as a beginner I will highly reccomend this to all starting out. is there a DVD of this series to buy, it would be very good to watch and learn from it. A video well done.
Float fishing for commercial carp you can change your weights. I used to set up a swan shot 3 inches from the hook and then spread the rest up the line. This way you can spot bites two ways. float goes under or lifts out. creates a lighter version of a bolt rig too and aids setting the hook.
Sorry about the below comment I meant to say Great video love Matt wish to I had seen this when I started fishing with my husband 8 years ago. I still cant land my fish using a net and my husband always helps I really do need to master this but really find keeping the fish on in one hand and getting the net in position to get it really awkward. Any videos on this technique I can catch them no problem!
A controlled Underarm Lob or flick is also effective & more desirable when fishing in the Margins. Same easy action as Matt has shown, except Underarm.
I need someone’s help I went fishing tonight and really struggled to cast further out. I could only get it a couple metres out. When I made it heavier to cast further the float was just sinking? Pleaaaase advise thank you
I bought the carp rod combo and it’s amazing but then I watch this video and he’s saying not to have thick bouncy line... but the rod comes with thick bouncy line... Matt what you saying
If it’s wrong to use springy line for float fishing. why does the Matt hayes float fishing kit from Argos come with fishing line made from coke bottles pulled through a pencil sharpener?
one thing. the weights needed to weigh down a float are written on the side of the float now are they the weights placed directly either side of the float or is it the total weight including the smaller weights down towards the hook? thanks
that is the weight you need to set the float but take into consideration the bait you are using. worms or corn are heavier than maggots for example so you may need to under shot your line depending on what youre using
I have a 15lb line for float fishing. Nonsense about it making it more difficult, if anything, it means you don't lose the fish when your crap line snaps.
Bprezzle it 6lb or 4lb is perfect for float fishing maybe you’re just shit and casting into tree and breaking of or your fishing for 30lb fish you can fish 15lb line with the thickness of 5lb line (braid fishing line) but we normally use mono and from experience 15 line doesn’t really fit in a float or the size of hook you should have been using
@@StirringAlloy if your sea float fishing for coalfish as an example, those beasties can weigh up to 18lbs with an average of 7lbs, so a heavier line is needed. But like most things, some survival/extinction bias is typically at play in most communities. The biggest recommendation is take your time I researching, what you want to catch, where etc and then equip yourself with knowledge before buying anything. Much like any big hobby like cycling, rowing, etc

very useful, thank you
You are welcome!
Great video
Miss the guy man :( haven't seen him about in agers
@radabee1 no he isn't 😆
The name 'waggler' comes from the way the float waggles in the air when you cast
Thanks simple and helpful

How to adjust the line if the water is deeper than the length of the rod, to hit the bottom?
thank you matt , where can we buy this rod ?

There is a feeding frenzy behind you, you have a rod, but dont cast!😂 you british are so proper😂😂
The fish will be there after the video too...

This is for beginners?
Some really unintelligent comments made on here.
Schmeckles you don’t know shite either

Don't want to risk it catching on anything and losing it, too many tales of losing rings while fishing
