Great angling lads. Much trouble from the nuisance fish?

Great video. Can you recommendation a decent budget setup? Camera and lenses. So much kit available. It’s a bit overwhelming.

Nice review... Is the bag an actual bag?.. Or is it a top layer with the inflatable underneath, with no bag layer to lie on.. cheers..

Wish they made a 2 man bedchair

If you enjoy fishing then go when you feel I was very mutch like this with match fishing I stopped and got back on the box fishing for bits on me park lake it’s got me hungry again but the best off luck to you mate

Hi mate, still have the system,? If yes how is it I mean still comfortable regarding mattress. Also can you tell me how thick is mattress in mm or cm or inch? Thank you

Fella do what's right for you. Glad to see you back on the bank. Remember the channel was always for you and your journey. We all watch because it's you, and don't try too hard to make it blockbuster quality. We all loved you from the start keeping it reel😉.

In the market for a new rucksack and the moment this Ali G balloon said that a rucksack is very portable lost me. No shit Sherlock. Just goes to show that some people will say anything if you pay them.

Just wanted to say love your content and fair play for putting this video out there . Fair play for making changes that are right for you and not get stuck in a rut with something you are not happy with. So many people just put up with stuff . Good on you for taking that step to make things better for yourself and others around you. 💪🏼

Good luck with your new chapter mate, Enjoy the videos , keep them coming 🎣👍🏻

A very good carp fishing video you have had the ball's to tail carp anglers & people just how you feel and your own problems to over come them . I hope you can find your balance in your carp fishing thank you for your carp fishing videos very best wishes from Ben 👍 👌

I packed up carp fishing in the early 80’s when I felt it was becoming too commercial & the stuff we made was available in the shops.. then again in the 90’s when I had kids.. it’s always in your blood tho & Ive been back loving it still for over 10 years 😂

When my daughter was born i carried on carp fishing alot,quick over nighters on work nights ect,but i was missing time at home with family,and when i was home i was shattered.not been carp fishing in years now,when me daughter grows up a bit i will get going again maybe.but now i do a bit of lure fishing and feeder fishing down the river ect,and it has been amazing to go back to my original fishing roots.growing up on small rivers,i realised i had forgotten what fishing was all about and that carp fishing was just a small part of it.

Do what’s best for you mate! 🎣

We've all lost the bug at some point when you got boys like us who have families and work it's not always ideal to get the rod's out chin up mucker

Sometimes things happen which just SHOULDN'T happen,,, and that sucks everything out of you. Last week i was on a commercial carp fishery, paid good money for a days fishing.. I was on a platform, netted a fish,,, turned around and went to walk off the platform as my unhooking matt was behind on the grass.... My leg fell down a feffing big hole at the back of the platform and i had a very nasty fall and nearly broke a leg! I made an official note of the incident to the people running the place (Woodlands Lakes - Thirsk N.Yorks) and instead of receiving an apology and perhaps a free days fishing or something for my nasty experience.... they just took the piss! To say i was disgruntled was an understatement, i was beyond fuming! Remember it is their responsibility to make things safe as you are paying.. Anyway the low life trash family abused me on social media and tried to make out i was at fault!!!! Moral of the story is,,, don't get mad, get even!

Burn out can be a difficult beast to battle, but very eye opening at the same time, to see what matters most. Sounds like you’ve made the right choices. 👍 On the opposite side of the world here but at a similar point recovering from burnout and focusing on family and my own fishing. As some of the other comments touched on I enjoy smaller quality creators more than the big brands, subbed. 👌

Ric, good luck with everything. Family and health has to come first, then if you’re lucky to keep a hobby whilst juggling with work then that’s a bonus! Appreciate the videos

New sub… I just found you through this video.. I find I fall out of love for the film making and the editing, I’ve never been able to sit still but when I’m in the mood to edit I’ll do it for hours and days on end and then I’m burnt out I don’t do it for weeks and footage builds up, am still editing bits from 2022 on my Channel haha. Big up for the video mate takes alot to say things like this ❤

im a keen angler and love my time on the bank. many years ago i would look for any reason to get out fishing, now married for 27 years and still love my fishing but its now a lot less, i look forward to my week away on the severn on my own once a year and we have a caravan in wales where i fish, fishing can be like a drug you need to go every week

Good man. Tough making them kind of decisions, by the relief on your face it’s like a massive weight off ya shoulders and the right thing for you and ya family. People assume it’s all fun working for these companies but behind the scenes it really isn’t. Keep it up great vids

personal fishing videos work for me the high end company videos I'm watching less. Dosn't have to be high end editing ethier :)

Unfortunately carp fishing has moved away from angling and continues to do so. They were never my favourite fish but I do still miss those early days of solitude and connection to the environment and that is very very hard to find today.If you are lucky to do so you are very aware the hordes are right behind you. To work in it must have been exhausting. Try out some other species and see if you can find what you're looking for there. Worked for me. Best of luck with future angling

The only constant is change. 👍

Plain and simple family and you'rer health come first buddy good luck.

👏 shame to see ya go from dna as i enjoyed the films you done with them. But i 100% understand it, fishing should be a escape. Got a massive respect for people who do youtube etc, cant think of anything worse than "having" to fish rather than wanting too Good luck in the furture geez, take it easy

You work to live not the other way round. It's called work life balance but NEVER jeopardise your family and you will find fishing so much more enjoyable. All the best in the future

Try a different approach instead of boilies try method feeder fishing or big pellets hair rigged

A slave to the trade as they say. Keep doing you

I have been fishing since i was a young kid, i am now 56. When i first got married, i carried on fishing, then we had a son. My fishing virtually stopped! I still watch fishing and go occasionally, but my time spent with my wife and my son are more precious to me. Fishing is important for relaxation, family life is more important to me. Tight lines.

I never got to the level of working in the industry, but I burned out several years back. I felt like I didn't have anything left to do in fishing. It took about 5 years to get back into the groove with maybe a dozen sessions in those years. It's difficult when you've got bills to pay and people relying on you, but sometimes you've got to do something for yourself.

Well done mate. The less you do to appease others and do for yourself, your angling and your happiness the better.

Least you gave it a try ric welcome back to doing wot you love doing, looking forward to seeing more of botb 👊🎣🎣

Sometimes you just have to reset your life/work balance. Well done for taking the plunge. Good luck for the future, mate. 🤞

Well done mate

Well done bro and thanks for your honesty , sometimes it doesn't work out and it aint all its cracked up too be working in the industry..you sat with it for a while but once you unloaded it your could see the relief and one more thing you have nothing to be sorry for with your own content ...you are a good angler and make good films ..looking forward to watching your journey.

Balance and perspective gives longevity to most things in life. What really matters are relationships with those closest to you. You're resetting that balance. Well done, many can't.

Nice to see you, back on the bank 😝 All the best for the future, reminds me I need to get back out there... when the sun is shining!

The problem isn't the sport. it's the poisonous people within it!!!!

I to lost hart in carping 5 years ago I just hated the commercial side of it it’s all about money money money I’m just starting to find interest init again now I just hope I don’t fall back into the commercial bullshit again
