Alan Scotthorne Squatt Fishing

We join Alan Scotthorne on the banks of the New Junction Canal, and in his tackle room for a lesson in squatt fishing!
The Five Times World Champion explains the rigs, feeding and techniques he uses to amass large weights of small fish.

I notice his ground-bait buckets have ALANS written on them. Presumably to stop the rest of the family 'borrowing' them... Really enjoyable film. Great advice. Thanks.

[@johnfairhurst9118]

Probably when they go abroad with the england team everyone’s got the same bait tubs and buckets

[@alansandom5057]

Has to be one of the best info guidance videos around, brilliant or am I biased? Can we have a few more?

[@rsylvester65]

Instead of using the leam to get the groundbait down quicker could you use riddled fine mole hill soil.i use to use it in bloodworm and joker fishing.

I just love the way up to us match fisherman think that over 0.15 mm hook length is heavy line makes me laugh every time. I would think that a die hard carp man would think you've lost the plot

Those sf1 floats look great for silvers .

[@iang953]

Was thinking the same mate, more stuff on your shopping list lol

[@davetaylor8858]

Good video and a good day Alan. It looked perfect for a 5 mtr whip fished long-line, to hand. Who's water is it by the way ?

[@davidfletcher8431]

Lovely video, and looks a nice stretch of New Junction Canal where about's is this

[@leeprice7810]

One word . Wow

[@mickcaulfield1804]

[@peterwallington7973]

This video is the most pleasure I’ve had with my clothes on for years !!!! Thanks Alan.

[@pmay222]

ida been tempted ta fish 6m flick tip to hand...

[@davetaylor8858]

Where can you get float testing tubes like the one in his workshop ?

[@jonathansutcliffe-bland4655]

Them old fish lamps from Amazon or carboot

[@brianwelbourne9896]

All my floats used to be marked in grams, eg .4. .5. 1.00 etc now its 4x12 or 4x16, what does this mean??

[@jonathansutcliffe-bland4655]

4x12 etc is old styl weights or stotz as they are now known. Google fishing weight conversion table.

[@oldbloke135]

There must be millions of fish in there! And nobody fishing it. It's the same on canals round here, £20 a year, waters stuffed with fish and hardly a soul on them.
