Well done Andy, especially on those Lymm pegs in winter 👏, which I've fished plenty of times as well but only in Summer/Autumn! Sometimes wish I lived closer to the Severn to risk turning up in high water, winter conditions to tempt a Bertie 😉. Pity you lost one at the end but I have had similar experience in that swim and there is a snag close to the bank by the tree (roots?). Tight lines for 2025 and might bump into you on the bank sometime 👍.

What drone did you go for buddy?

What rod is that Andy ? Nice drone footage for first attempt 👍🥃

nice video and a nice session, I look forward to the drone footage.

Thanks for the vlog Andy and well done catching at this time of year. I can't believe how different those pegs look in the winter. I must try and get down there before the end of the season👍

I always feel a real sense of achievement when I'm lucky enough to catch winter barbel which isn't easy on my local Yorkshire rivers.

Thought ,id seen that peg on KZbin before,checked through my subscriptions and yes ,nick price a few years ago ,looks a smashing peg ,will done as aways good angling

Enjoyed the video Andy. Which stretches were you fishing? Were any of them BAA?

Great vid Andy😎👍 thank you🍺

Hi Andy. Another enjoyable video. I would have been over the moon with four barbel in the day! A pity about the match in the first spot on day two.

Brilliant fishing mate but please please please stop standing up with the fish, not only is it putting the fish in danger of kicking and you dropping it but it really is sending out the wrong message to any inexperienced anglers watch and then thinking it’s ok and it really isn’t. Again fabulous fishing and well done on the PB.

What you need is a big white van man,but the was one thing you forgot to take with you the kitchen sink lol 👍

Top job Andy. 😎 thanks for sharing

Make the most of fishing for these beautiful river creatures, because the way our water companies, or should I say , environmental gangsters, treat our beautiful rivers is a disgrace, to say the least. Pouring untreated sewage on a regular basis is the norm. When some toothless agency takes them to court they pay a pitiful fine which they then pass onto us, the consumer, or should I say gullible public with higher and higher water charges. Meanwhile the water company share holders are paid vast amounts of money in bonuses. So enjoy while you can.

U boring twat ! Who the fuck is this video aimed at ! Any angler with a brain wouldn’t watch this any longer than 30 seconds!

That double hook up was perfect timing netted one then boom off again 😂

Lovely fish. Really liking your vids....👍

17:00 looks like a chub not "a little roach".

Nice fish , shame about the slurping , will have to make sure i turn the sound off next time.

Nice fish😊

Wich Rod you use😊

do you have a season ticket for this water. if so you know their is no night fishing!!

Hi Andy any chance where is that area or with club ? Day ticket ?

You fed the pike lol fished there before nice spot 👌

Poor Roach😂😂😂 great vid as always Andy 😎

Great video…..all that shouting must of driven you mad!

5:30 proper fishing that, i do same on the PoD Derwent, no matter how cold it gets overnight it's just me sat on me chair and no shelter trying to stick it out until sunrise 🙃

👌🏻

great session, effort equals reward, well done,)

What isotopes do you use mate? cheers

What’s your choice of rods reels & preferred test curve when fishing the river soar! Great catch with your second barbel, are at liberty to say what area of the soar u were fishing?

Good going mate 💪

Hello where about is this i wondered as i have just recovered from a broken ankle/foot but that bank looks easy to get to. Any info would be a help.

Hello mate, what rods are those your using?

Great video, really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the vid pal 👍 What part of the 7 was you on?

Most fisherman I’ve ever spoke to/met have been complete melts. I semi-understand you not wanting to tell people your *exact* location but to just give the name of the river is basically pointless. If you wanna be coy about your fishing spot then why upload videos online?

Well you did better than me when I fished that peg all I got were Bream bites, should have persisted I guess. Have you noticed any pattern as to what state of tide tends to produce the most Barbel ( Flood, Ebb, Top/Bottom of the tide) ?

Great video, we are heading to Spain/Portugal for 3 months after Christmas. What's the situation with licenses/permits? Are they quite easy to come by? Kind regards, Liam

Hi Andy me and my brother in law were fishing to the left of you at Normanton on Trent the same day. Both blanked but returning this Thursday. On the Worksop book. Had a lot of barbel there last year

Hope you don’t mind me asking but is that area day ticket or club stretch I come up from Suffolk now and again regards dick

Hi Andy. I fish like you using pva bags and leads. Main reason is the river I fish is extremely snaggy and I can get leads and pva mesh quite cheap. Basically I can afford to lose them. Feeders cost in the region of £2.50-£3.00 a feeder. To buy one and lose one first cast in a snag isn't the best feeling. I've caught more fish using a feeder but the bigger ones seem to come out using bags. Whether the fish spook off the feeder I don't know.

Well done mate, glad you got the w.avon redemption 👍

That 15 was absolutely amazing and gorgeous mate. My best is 12lb 3oz from the Don . I can't imagine almost 3lb on top of that .

Which bookies do you use mate .. just got a tidal Trent club ticket but first visit was to find alot of the flood bank s bit of a jungle at Sutton !!

Lovely first barbel 👍 tight lines

Good to see you back at it Andy 😎👍

I know you said that first stretch was above Shrewsbury, whereabouts and what club. Ta.

Great

Hi Andy, just found your channel.. 👌 Great video - Keep the good work up. Will have a look at the Spanish vids tonight/tomorrow 👍🎣
