I used to fish with my Uncle,and no matter where we went,Witham,Ancholme etc,he always fished the same tackle,same floats etc.He caught a few but because my Dad showed me what floats did this or that etc he always caught less than us.Then he discovered Wentworth lakes,his tackle,floats etc suited this venue down to a tee.The distance he fished,his shotting etc As a consequence he caught more fish than ever before.It was a real joy to see him really enjoying himself.Dad and Uncle both dead now,but i often think about Wentworth.In fact i bought a permit this season.Happy Birthday Tom,i will be 67 in October,keep going m8.
Happy birthday Tom. One of the best angling discussion l have heard in a long time. Your opinions are both right. Tom, great thinker. Alan, you are so humble. Love your podcasts. 💜
I won a magazine competition many years ago and the prize was a day with Bob Nudd at Billy Makins. To say Bob not only worked out how the fish wanted the feed very quickly etc but during a catching spell changed the frequency and quantity of feed to catch how & where HE wanted to catch. Not like I'd been doing, trying to chase where they were but HE caught them how he wanted. Amazing to witness !
Happy birthday W/Champ ❤️❤️. Watched your video 25-30yr ago when you had a tash on a river .. you caught every 10 secs .. amazing .. then watched your Preston DVDz and was amazed .. your superb pal god bless and tight lines and yes I’m 51 but didn’t start fishing till 35 but you and mr Nudd was the template I base my fishing on.. now I add mr scotthorne as well .. but yes happy birthday legend xxx ❤️❤️❤️… mr Pickering I would pay for a coaching session WITHOUT getting gear out just to talk .. ❤️❤️❤️ my dad now has severe Alzheimer’s now, but always said if you think it DO IT ..
TV angling pundit Keith Arthur declared on Tight Lines that "the sign of a good match angler is one who makes a plan and sticks to it". On another episode he stated that "the sign of a good match angler is one who is willing to change a plan if it's not working".
Brilliant video lads commented on a few videos too be fair that top anglers have something special, a sixth sense maybe, when they need to change bait, tactics or depth to catch more fish and normal anglers can't compete.... Tommy Pickering absolute legend... Well done guys 👍
Happy Birthday Tommy, I love watching your tutorials and I have learnt a lot from them. Thanks for all your help and advice, I hope you continue fishing and making tutorials for a lot longer and I will hopefully improve my own fishing.
Great video guys. I would like to mention Jimmy Burns from the North West. Now I fished the North West canal circuit ,done ok but as you mentioned some people just did it without thinking and Jimmy was / is one of those angler's, for example he would change from Punch to pinkies 15 minutes before everyone else while we were starting to think about it and catch those bonus fish . Thanks again
I love Tommy no nonsense fishing tips so the question is what are the basics of water graft how do you learn the basics so you have half a chance great pod cast no pun intended 😉
Honesty….many anglers blame everything apart from themselves..weather it be rig ..peg ..conditions..ect ect …the better angler will nearly always find a way of getting the most out of the peg they draw on the day…if we fail learn from it and adapt nx time you fish…😉
John Illingworth! A real trip down memory lane.We both worked at Hepworth and Grandage.He once told me,on the Calder as I recall,that his favourite style of fishing was running a quill float down a river using a centrepin.Lovely guy.
a good angler and a good match angler are two very different things... a great general angler is a whole different thing than a great carp or match angler.. some things will be the same though..

How has he not been knighted yet? C'mon, seriously, somebody pull some strings. Sir Bionic Bleaker MBE
Great listening guys 👏
Would be great to hear some tales of how Tom changed tactics during a match to win it.

One of the best no nonsense angler's is Mester Pickering...Great video lads. Alan your spot on, it's that sixth sense.

Great conversation Alan and Tommy love life in angling stories.......Alan what make is that wrist watch you wearing?

Top vid…….really interesting/insightful. Cheers.
Some people are just born with a gift or talent just like Tom……Happy birthday Tommy 🐟
Heard that a few times if ya think it do it, great advice wether it works it or not for building confidence in methods or bait choice
Great discussion, like you say Al, watercraft with the top boys is unreal
Please do more chats like this !
Happy birthday legend
Just summed me up that did, prep really well, fish well, but struggle to work things out.
If you haven’t found it, Tom did an interview with Guru that is 2 hours of brilliant chat just like this .. watch it if you get the chance !

Very good debate. Like two old spitfires in a dog fight.
Happy birthday

Someone like Chris Yates is a great general angler, it's that 110% dedication and passion that makes him a great angler
