Worm fishing for salmon on the river Moy
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มี.ค. 2021
- Water levels on the river are dropping off nicely after a recent flood, there's a nice bit of colour still in the river making conditions perfect for fishing the worm. I manage to hit 3 fish one after an another in the same spot in the first hour of arriving on the river. I damaged my line on hooking the 2nd as he was deep hooked resulting in me breaking in the 3rd fish.

Superb. Vicious strikes and great scraps. I love worm fishing with a ball bouncing betty
I won the fishing competition on this river back in 1993. I was on holiday with my dad over there and caught the only salmon of the day on the worm. I loved it over there, the pubs were amazing (even though I was only 13 lol), the festival was amazing too. Cracking place! I've always wanted to go back
Always welcome back!🙌
One fish among all the anglers is not worth the visit, to be honest.
@@7pinky791 it was during a heatwave and the water was extremely low. Most rivers wouldn't produce many fish under such conditions.

It's an art in it's own right the worm!!
My Grandma, Agnes Loftus was born in Straide and spoke fondly of catching salmon in the River Moy. She would have loved to watch this...
Jesus that hook was set good! That 1st fight was insane
well done wayne..good to see a nice bit of skill
Not that much skill really since he didnt check his line for damage after every fish.
🤦♂️😂
SKILL???
WHERE IS THE FUCKING SKILL???
Long shank hook, 8" forceps, barbed shank hold worm, debarb barb on gape, open salmons mouth (bottom lip),
hold line in middle finger, put 8" forceps down fishes mouth, lift up any loose worm/s, put forceps in gape of hook
gently squeeze gape with forceps, down, twist and pull out, takes all in (staying relaxed and confident) approx
5 - 8 seconds to un hook any size of salmon. Try it (not you but those that can't un hook any round fish. Tried and tested over many many years. More you try it it gets very easy to do, remember debarb your barb on gape, i use single hooks with two barbs up the shank to hold the worm. We are not allowed to float fish for salmon, but if i was i would be using a much smaller float, that looks like a float for sea fishing. Tight lines.
Just checking is it allowed the bubble and worm I thought it was bubble and fly
Coolcronins fishery ,the famous rock pool 😎
U won the fishing competition here like three times
What number float (size 8?) were you using and how much weight in the jumping jack (30g?). Thanks
What was the water depth reading at ballylahon bridge on this day?
I'd say around around 0.9m It was dropping back after a flood.
Good Stuff....Great Video, Thanks!!! - 👍
Thanks Noel👍
Thanks for posting🎣🎣 Roll on summer 👍
Thanks for the video, going to the blackwater “Waterford/Cork border “ to try catch my first salmon, Iv put a lot of time into it but no luck yet, hopefully tomorrow after the weekend of rain 🙏
Should be good now river moy at good depth at the min
Caught a lovely salmon last summer up near careysville weir...cappaquin/lismore all great spots too 🤙🏻
@@jimmyspuds8783 was fishing up there last night, my friend had a 12lb fish, great fight…for him😅
@@TheDuffman1986 sure look once you get a photo nobody knows who caught it hahaha, were ya fishing on the fermoy side of the weir? Monsters around there 🐟
Float looks upside down and whats that green thing hanging down,you caught a good fish it must be done right
The float is upside down for better drag and the green thing is called a jumping jack, it's a led weight design not to snag as the float drags it alone the river bed.
For those of us new to worming for salmon, perhaps you could make a video in which you talk us through the rig, hook size, line strength, whether you mend the line to stop any bowing etc. Thanks.
I hope to do so when I get back on the river but with water so low at the moment it's not possible.
@waynecarberry i was thinking the same thing, interested in starting a bit of salmon fishing at the minute and would like to see what you're doing!
Question: If salmon don't eat in fresh water why then do they swallow the worm so deep, I've seen this many times before??
It's a good question but one I have no answer for. Fresh running fish seem to take the worn well down but when in the system a few weeks thay don't take it as hard.
I reckon it's because they are full of adrenaline when they're fresh also I've seen them just blow out my worms before and I use big enough hooks that theyre not as likely to gut hook!! I found though most salmon on worm take it down far but if you can set the hook as fast as possible then that helps aswell
I fish a river that salmon would have to travel about 80 miles from the sea to get to and they still swallow the worm. I'm convinced they eat them.
Another theory is that worms replicate something they feed on at sea, baby squid or whatever, who knows, Iv seen more evidence that they do feed in fresh water because there are so many things they take. So many mysteries behind them though
It's instincts.. You must remember when out at sea Salmon are opportunistic feeders and feed on all types of crustaceans, krill, shrimp, prawns, sprats, herring, sand eels, lug, rag worm, octapus, crayfish the list is endless So upon entering freshwater just straight from the sea that feeding instinct is still fairly powerful like a cat playing with a ball of wool. It's only after being in the rivers few weeks this feeding habit wanes and the fat reserves kicks in.. Nature's way of protecting the fish and the next generation of salmon smolts.
Hello, super fish!! What part of the moy,..... i fish teh moy near Foxford...greatings from Bavaria
Its Coolcronan fishery i'm fishing out side Foxford
Good man Wayne ✌️great channel 👌Subscribed
Thank you
Nice ones for the grill Wayne. Grand day out too.
Fish look rather small mate when you said it was salmon ?
The 3rd was some take can you explain your set up to me im curious
Or stupid?? Some take? Explain his set up? It's a fake worm with a big bomb float attached to 25lb line..SHITE fishing.!!!
@@terrybrady392 Greetings Terry. What, in your opinion, would be the way to do it? Please be aware that this is not a trolling by me. I am merely interested in other ideas and opinions. Thank you.
@@terrybrady392 is a virgin for sure
Great fish any chance you can post the set-up
GREAT FISH???? BOLLICKS....
Terry Brady your just jealous 😂😂😂
I uses a bouncing Betty but never with a float how do it work
It drags the weight so you won't get stuck to much. If the water is to high I take the float off and fish as you do
@@waynecarberry would you have a stop not on the line for the float and how many feet from swivel to stop knot... tanxs🐟
@@corkman8594 the stopper goes on first you can move it to get your depth. could be 10/ 12 feet sometimes deeper. You need plastic beads above and blow the float so to stop the float at the stopper when the lead reaches its depth.
@@waynecarberry cheers 🐟🐟
@@corkman8594 in higher water from the swivel to the hook about 15 inches you need it to be on the bottom any longer its rising with the pull of the water and that's no good make sure its dragging as slow as u can get it by adjusting your weight
How heavy was float tube and snake sinker?
Fishing in this place such a wonderful nature good job man do it again i wanna see more video like this
The Unique thank you for your comment, I hope to get to the river Moy as soon as covid restrictions allow me to travel.
....which is why worm is often banned on most waters.......you end up playing the poor salmon from it's guts. Salmon often swallow a worm greedily. Shrimps, they often bite savagely and shake, and incredibly often spit out without getting hooked lol, but worms they gulp down.
You are very lucky Irish waters a) allow you to take spring fish for the pot (here in stupid England, all salmon must be returned before June 16th. Madness.) and b) allowed to worm fish.
What kind of worms?
They swallow the worm so deep tho
3 in 1 day. Nice going
Ahh Wayne, so many people full of so much shite. Love your videos and your accent.
Looks like a blast nice one and also would like to see the set up 👍🏻👍🏻
See the set up????
A fucking fake worm,big hook ,big float and a rod!!!! What a load of shite.!!!
@@terrybrady392 more complicated than a fly on the end of a line
why is the worm green , is it a real worm ?
No the weight I use is green.
They are wriggle weights (kinda like the cord fabric you see on curtain tie backs) they are really good at adding weight to your line and have a natural flow to them making them ideal in avoiding snags.
Come to the west coast of Canada one day, you’d be amazed by the salmon runs here
I hope to do so some day. 👍
Lovely. Cant wait to get down again.
I travel up from South East England to west Scotland twice a year and the salmon numbers resulting from salmon farms is astonishing and I have yet to catch one though I have caught a lot of sea trout and brown trout,it's almost all catch and release there and even though I understand that they are trying to help the small amount of rod fisherman fishing now adays is so small and the amount of seals and cormarent taking fish is crazy! I have no problems with someone who pays hundreds of pounds to take a few small fish it's better than the bigger three seasons at sea fish we need to save!! I also think I would also like to keep my first fish if it's a fresh run smaller fish as it's my first but would probably return most every single fish after that! As long as you don't take loads I can't see the problem???
I usually have no problem with folks taking fish in plentiful supply but it's sacrilege to take any salmon now a days. All the next generation will have are ghost stories.
Hopefully I can get me first ever salmon this year on the moy
Wait on till the water is rite and you will get your fish.
@@waynecarberry thanks for the tip I’m hope fully going up in June
@@waynecarberry also where did you get that flout
@@tripleclock7371 Tiarnan's fishing tackle shop in Foxford will sort you out with all you need.
Couple a fine fish👍
Didn’t see these fish being tagged???
Open your eyes and you will see
Nice fishing, but why are they so small in size?
They’re grilse. Salmon that have only spent one winter at sea
Nae wunner there’s a decline in salmon 🤦🏻♂️ you should try the fly fishing for them
Love from Pakistan i really like fishing im a rod fisher boy i really wanna you invite me for one week fishing trip there in Ireland
Good video scrim, you were only 49 there😁
😂
Putting fish in a plastic bag on a summers day , absolutely mindless.
Get yourself a portable cool bag at least guy.
I thought it was illegal the Moy burn Highlands Scotland if it's the Moy that runs into the Findhorn is a spawning burn.. I got the Moy burn fishing rights when it enters the Findhorn but never fished the spawning burn...
Its Ireland 🇮🇪 pal 👍
All 3 fish was hit on the head in the same spot. 🔨 use the hammer next time paddy.
The hammer is for you paddy.
Very nice 👍
There's only one word to use when you miss a bite, and you've it it off to a tee.😅
This is the worst thing about fishing the worm they swallow the lot and theres no returning them,personally i would never kill a salmon that small its outragious and i have caught manyyyyyyyyy salmon on the moy over the years.
So you kill bigger fish witch in turn carry more egg's so you are doing more damage than I am. Or are you going to say you only kill cock fish🤔
@@waynecarberry I kill very few fish you clot , you are the type of guy that probably kills everything in sight..
Dont know if your an experienced Angler ,but looking at your float its upside down ,and you should be well capable of getting the hook out with a good disgorge out of 10 /2
Just by your comment about the float, says to me you know very little about the method I'm using. By the way I smoked them 2 fish and they ware delicious 😋
Great video nothing wrong with taking a feed modern world is crazy I suppose it's better to eat farmed rubbish 😂
Please fry or bbq grill them
Game men kill all as usual ....
You were fishing with the float the wrong way up your meant too have the bright fatter side sitting above the water that's the reason they paint them orange 🤣🤣🤣
I love people like you who think they know it all 🤣 for your information you get a better drag when the float is used this way, every man women and child on the Moy will have the float upside down. So the laugh is on you my friend 🤣 😂 happy fishing 🎣
@@waynecarberry a better drag? Thats hilarious 😂 we both know your that dull you didn't know your meant too have the bright side on top 😄 noob
@@waynecarberry stick too killing pigeons 🤣🤣🤣🤡
@@rodgie84 you really don't have a clue do you W ⚓ 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe do some catch and release… worm fisherman 😂
Really not that bright to still be killing fish. We all love our fishing but also know the immense pressure salmon are under. Beyond me that you're still knocking multiple fish on the head. I'm sure one would do you just fine if you insisted on fish for dinner...
got a headache watched your video
I'm so happy for you
Good to see dead fish. Well done.
I'm not in the habit of eating them alive 😂😂
@@waynecarberry indeed. You know what it’s like nowadays though.
@@gutworm686 I'm flat out with a lad on Facebook he's worse than arguing with herself 😂😂
@@waynecarberry argh you Irish have a wonderful way with words. I eat my fish dead too.
@@waynecarberry I eat my greens alive though and, I don't pay any attention to the screams of the lettuce or the wails of the baby sprouts.
must be 100s of fish there...
True a lot of fish ware moving up river that day
Why not just chap the fish as intended instead of making the viewers think you practice c@r.
If that was the case u wouldn't be fishing the worm and you certainly wouldn't spend 10 mins fighting a 4lb fish with your drag set on 3..
Enjoy it whilst it lasts the moy is finished as a salmon fishery due to mismanagement of all those who grace its banks..
Such a shame
Why are you worried about my viewers? And yes I do practice C&R but I also like to take a fish for the table. As for the moy being finished you should take that issue up with the people who are using nets at nite and contribute nothing. I pay my licence, I'm entitled to take a fish so go and cry somewhere else 😭
@@waynecarberry you do have a point because I did see your License on the bank
@@waynecarberry Let's be honest, you would have taken all 3 if you hadn't broken your line, leaving that last fish with a hook in its guts instead. Now, as it happens, I'm a lone voice on my syndicate fighting the virtue signaling smugness of Catch and Release mania. I'm a game fisherman, not a coarse angler, and I pay a stiff amount of cash for licence and syndicate fees so I like a hard csught salmon in the freezer. But. Though I take some fish for the the pot throughout the season, I wouldn't be taking every fish I caught in a session.
Paddy Mayne is right, sooner or later, worm will be banned and you'll be paying higher costs for mandatory C&R.
@@tonebonetones worming will never be banned but always frowned upon, the method of working has provided meals for generation's of my family, I see more damage being done my pollution and netsmen and commercial fisherman than anything else, anglers in fairness are trying their best but no matter what they do it won't make a difference to declining stocks, I'm not saying we should or will kill every fish we catch but at the same time, why miss out?
4lb my arse..May 1lb 1/2 at most.Such a shite video.
I love learn more about salmon fishing but the person in this video needs to talk?? 😐
That’s all your gonna catch with that method. Tiny fish, best method in the moy is the fly or my personal favourite the black fly n c. I had 20 last year at foxford all released the biggest was 15lbs. Your just killing baby fish with that terrible method
I can't believe that this kind of so called fishing is allowed...
Neanderthal 🤣🤣🤣
W⚓ 😂😂
It’s weird your aloud to kill salmon do that here in Scotland you could potentially go to jail most likely a fine
@Jay M aye fucked up pikey laws 🤣
