Spent many days on this river with my grandad fishing for salmon. We never caught anything together. Lots of stories of how it was back in the day with the rivers full of fish and how paltry they are today in comparison. Don’t know if it’s overfishing or what but it’s the same story all over Ireland, shame.
Decade’s of illegal trawler catches out at sea. It’s the same here on the river Teifi in west Wales. I have been fishing since the early 1960’s with my long departed and missed grandfather, the decline has been alarming especially among the small sewin ( sea trout).
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 🙏
@@Jolly-bass-boy 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 🐟
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.
@@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.
@@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
@@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.
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...
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.
They net up thousands of fish a day and people complain about 1 or 2 from the river how many come from other countries to fish here bringing in millions to the country they go if the fish go how many go broke then
Ok few years on what part of the moy was you at very slow moving looks like the slow moving waters near tubbercurry . Did foxford today and easkey after rains last night water was high and tide was in nothing all they fishing not even a perch or a trout sickened persevered the pain in may back shrimp fly along with a fish fly make it look as if the fish was after the shrimp . I have to use real shrimp and worms yet . My end of the country no salmon travel is a cunt😮 and not catching f all and perfect conditions
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...
....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.
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.
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.
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 😋
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 🎣
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 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?
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
@articledimension-im6ij aye the sea here in scotland there is no limit but on the wild salmon rivers you cant even touch the salmon on the river tay the guille does that not you
Superb. Vicious strikes and great scraps. I love worm fishing with a ball bouncing betty
It's an art in it's own right the worm!!
Jesus that hook was set good! That 1st fight was insane

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.

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!
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???
Great fish any chance you can post the set-up
GREAT FISH???? BOLLICKS....
Terry Brady your just jealous 😂😂😂
U won the fishing competition here like three times
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...
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

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

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.
Catch and release ???
Catch and eat if your poor
Just checking is it allowed the bubble and worm I thought it was bubble and fly
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.

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.
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
Fish look rather small mate when you said it was salmon ?
Their grilse.
What kind of worms?
They swallow the worm so deep tho
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.!!!

The Unique thank you for your comment, I hope to get to the river Moy as soon as covid restrictions allow me to travel.
How heavy was float tube and snake sinker?
Didn’t see these fish being tagged???
Open your eyes and you will see
🏴try them in chip pan well worth it great meal, scampi, chips and garden peas with tartare sauce
Thanks for posting🎣🎣 Roll on summer 👍
Dont see any gill tags
3 in 1 day. Nice going
Putting fish in a plastic bag on a summers day , absolutely mindless.
Get yourself a portable cool bag at least guy.
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
