Nice video. It's always good to catch a barbel no matter what size. I've always fancied fishing that peg with a bolo or Avon float. Seeing the roach and chublet come out makes it even more appealing. I love catching river roach. Will look forward to seeing your other videos
Thanks for your comment Ian Boles👍👍 I was thinking the same the other day..(Float Fishing)🤔 Their is definitely something special catching a river roach😀 I've more videos on the way soon👍👍
I'm pleased to have found your channel I was on the seven for 4 days a couple of weeks ago I was fishing the freeliners section opposite side of the unicorn i only had two barbel and my dad only had 2 barbel and a couple of chub I'm going to join BAA that side has much more accessible swims I'm going to watch all your videos tight lines mate thanks for the information I'm going to gain from you
@kimmason8533 Thanks for your comment.😀 Joining the BAA £40.00 per year is great value for the waters you can fish in my opinion. I really wish you well on your River Severn adventures. Tight Lines 👍👍😀
@@cookiesfishingcapers9299 I was surprised when I found out it was 40 quid great value I spent nearly that on 4 day tickets looking forward to fishing the seven again I'm in Luton so it a couple of hours away for me I normally fish the Ouse and river lea down here for barbel going to try and find some spots on the Thames this year aswel I hope you have a great season 👍
Hi just subscribed to your channel..but I used to have a caravan at quatford many years ago..and the used to be 3 main pegs the glory hole in meadow one.. Harrises peg then meadow two was two pegs called the stack hole's and used to have 100lb plus bag's of barbel..and the glory hole was the first ever peg to win a match on the river Severn with over 100lb of barbel..but what meadow was you fishing it looked like meadow to me but I may be wrong
Thanks for comment Paul. I believe its known as the Stack peg as their is a Chimney behind the trees. Only found this out from the bailiff 😀 (meadow 2) Thanks for your subscription 👍👍
@@cookiesfishingcapers9299 Well the bailiff is wrong because before the river Severn became the way it is today it was so much a different river the same as Ironbridge was because big boats used to be able to travel up the river Severn from the Bristol channel to quatford so the stack hole's so was named the stack hole's after where people once stacke loads on to the boats.. nothing to do with fishing but a bit of history
Nice to see you back on the River mate and catching your first barbel of the season, I'm out Tuesday on the Severn for the first time in ten years with a good mate of mine and have picked up a tin of chick peas today to give them a try with spicy sausage flavour on a few and tuna flavour on the rest, I was also wondering if you would shell them like you do for the carp or leave it on as a bit of extra protection while bouncing around on the bottom, looking forward to seeing your next River adventure
Thanks for your comment Neil😀👍 Wow spicy sausage flavour!! Now I'm intrigued please let me know how you get on👍 Now with the skins my advice would be take as many as you can off before the process. However don't worry to much as when you start to use the chick peas you could still take them off on the bank and the flavouring will still hold in... From my personal experience if the skin starts coming off the chick peas in the water it tend to effect your catch rate. Tight Lines 👍👍😀
Thank you for your comment @ felgate11.👍 Great shout I've never thought about doing that before. I'm guessing it must pin the line down and doesn't spook any suspecting fish in the vicinity.👍😀
@@cookiesfishingcapers9299 Exactly correct bud' & the thing with SSG's is that you can add or take them off without stripping down + reduces fish swimming through the line (Liners or Line bites for Newbies, not familiar with the term)
Thanks for your comment David Hughes 👍👍 I tie my main line to a size 14 drennan swivel stop bead.(Using a blood knot) Then simply tie the fluoro carbon leader also using a blood knot from the other end of the swivel down to your hook.. Hope this helps if not I will put this into to my next video which I'm going to film tomorrow evening.👍
Hi , I enjoyed the video, but wanted to ask a question? How do you prepare your chickpeas? I’ve found them to be really soft, and fall apart when you put a baiting needle through them? And tips would be appreciated
Thanks for your comment Paul👍 OK so a couple of things depending on the chick peas used is one. Tescos have always done good for me as they tend to be a bit harder than most. The other is prep them up by microwaving in your favoured spice and put them on for 2 minutes. (Make sure you dry them a little before putting them in). Believe it or not I have tried them in the Air fryer recently for 4 minutes and they've been great... on 200. There is a couple of videos I've done recently by microwaving them and by oven. (The oven video shows me holding them up in different flavours) (Make sure the baiting needle is the really thin one) If you need any further information please let me know. Tight lines Paul 👍👍
That’s fantastic, thank you for the advise and information, I’ll have a look at your other videos on preparing them. I used some from Aldi but they were so soft before I even cooked them. Many thanks again Paul
@@paulgroom6951 Unfortunately I think Aldi have used a different supplier recently. I used Aldis last year on one of my videos worked well at Arley on the Severn. Recently like you found them to be soft....👍
I'll be out for my first river fishing experience on the severn near ironbridge. Any advice to what areas could hold barbel or any other fish for that matter. It'll just be fantastic being on the bank. Well done for catching though 👏
Thanks for your comment Chris Griffiths 👍 Firstly just being on the River Bank is just Great 😀 For me personally just look for the deeper runs. Sometimes they can be in the margin honestly. So many times we all cast out and they are just underneath your swim.🤫 Let me know how you get on? If you need any further information please contact me further. Tight Lines my friend 👍 👍
@markhodgkiss3000 Thank you for your comment 👍 To be honest depends on the peg. If your peg has bushes leaning into the river opposite, your swim, I would cast to those areas.(They hold up in those areas for cover) In a lot of cases, i have fshed literally a few metres out into a deep run and caught almost under my feet at times. 👍👍👍
Great video,, still reckon most will be in fast oxygenated water even with the rain ,, heavy rain after long dry spell can turn them off especially with run off deoxygenateing the water further,, had this a few years ago on the ribble n they fought like bream , took ages to recover and looked very washed out especially after it was just after spawning!,, water temps are certainly worth a look ! Don't no if you have had similar issues on the severn ect . 👍
Thanks for your comment Stephen Hollinrake👍 That's a really interesting point you've made.. To be honest makes a lot of sense. I'll be keeping this in mind on my next trip on the Severn.👍
Thanks for your comment Bryn👍 Great question👍 To be honest that's a tough one to answer. I've had great fish on all baits including Boilies, Meat etc. However I find that using Chick Peas for me recently has caught me a lot of fish on tough days plus it's so much cheaper in the current climate.😀 Tight Lines 👍 👍
Just came across your channel love it, it takes me back to when I went down that bridgenorth in late nineties what's it like know miss it down there friendly people always welcome
Mind you it was along time ago but I fished a peg at Quatford right next to the road. I hooked 15 and only got 3 out. Next day there was a match there so I went down to watch and the guy who drew there pissed it at quite a few of the Barbel he caught had my hooks in! So thanx Jim Wiltshire if your reading this who showed me how to play Barbel and get them out!
I have recently started using flavoured chick peas based on your videos 🙂 Not caught anything, yet, but fishing here has been very poor thanks for very unsettled weather and a lot of water in the river and dam, almost overflowing at the moment. When targeting carp, how long do you leave the bait in the water?
Thanks for your comment @akwamarsunzal. It really depends on the venue. If the water you fish on is difficult then sit it out for a few hours. I have night fished venues and the chick peas have been fine the next day. Sometimes it could be the venue and they are just not feeding 👍
@@cookiesfishingcapers9299 Interesting! I fish two rods, one boilies and one chick peas (normally sweetcorn). Normally leave boilies out for at least 2 to 3 hours and they retreive with the boilie attached. The check peas never retrieve even after just an hour in the water. Just concerns me a little bit. However, I have picked up some floating imitation chick peas and going to give them a try when we get some settled weather with a small pva bag of flavoured chick peas to see if they work.

I like to feeder fish using a Back Lead (maybe a couple of SSG's) 2 or 3 foot above the feeder to put the line on the bottom.
