It’s a game changer!!

I talked to my mate who is the Environment Agency fisheries officer…. It’s a bit of a grey area…… I avoid it now, the residents can get a bit funny about it

How are you finding it! Nicely made rod

@@theoccasionalangler6956 hi sorry late reply, not used it yet , but my exspanse rod is great.

Yes the river falls under a bye law that allows lure fishing for trout (sub 3” I think) . Obviously occasionally you get an unwanted course species… just return quickly

@@theoccasionalangler6956 thanks. I appreciate your videos, as I fish this area and love it but family and work sometimes conflict with the amount of time available to get out. tight lines!💪

@@julfis2292 thanks mate, hopefully see you on the bank

will do, whats the fishing like below that next bridge , ive waded up near there before and seen alot of fish

i will try and get out again soon (now the river season is underway!) ..... currently i am trying to open the scores with the bass.... had three blowup last week, but no hookups!!

it is beautiful, and seatrout run up it aswell, but it literally runs between an industrial park and housing estate.... i was really surprised to see such a large snake!

Sebile stick shads worked well, metal casting jigs 20-40g and fish black minnows (small size) although the black minnows go shredded very quickly …. Find cheap alternatives!

@@theoccasionalangler6956 thanks mate

Give this a try maps.app.goo.gl/sfJr1c4vDYSgjmeY9?g_st=ic

Thanks for that… appreciated! A head start means more family time 😉

@@truthfulremedy_aka_lennybee alot of bass sit in the current there.....goodluck

Thanks Thomas, the fluoro would have cast a bit further than the braid had i put enough line on the spool! the rucksack was a klattermusen... made out of kevlar.... and it really is bombproof

In short …. No, both cameras are really designed for full daylight and have no facilities to light a shot. If you are bait fishing , you could cable tie a bright waterproof led light to the camera?

@@theoccasionalangler6956 Thank You for responding.

Spydro does 👍

That’s interesting , I wonder why they say “wading , although not essential will help you cover more of the water” in the rules…

Majorcraft finetail glass bfs with diawa alphas air …. Seaguar tatsu (reel soft in uk) fluorocarbon mainline, 7g spinner

Oh yeah nice lovely!! I can imagine thats extremely light in hand

Yes it is nice and lite, because the rod is glass fibre it also loads up really easily which help casting a lot…. Also cushions the lure when trout jump during the fight… loose less fish from hooks pulling

Thanks Andy, it has been a loooong winter here! But the weather is now picking up, so hopefully I can get out a bit more

Thanks Jon….. yes I am chomping at the bit to get out

It’s a tsurinoya kingfisher (carbon reel)… yes I like it and it is a good price point

I would probably go ML…. Another rod that would excel for that application is the Apia Foojin rs springer… very fun rod

@@theoccasionalangler6956 Apia are good rods but on the heavy side. I do prefer the lightness of the top end Shimano's rods. I am just not sure if should I go with the ML or M for general purpose but still soft enough to cast light silicone lures like the Fiiish ect. The rod will be 9'6 for a fixed spool reel. It's an expensive rod so I want to make the right choice before I order it from Japan.

@@theoccasionalangler6956 Just pre-ordered the 9' ML and the 9'6M, crazy I know but I am set now.

I’m sorry to hear that, my one has been working perfectly, I actually much prefer the on/off system on the escape cam over the waterwolf .

Yes they are over priced….. but they happen to be one of my most consistent lures for bass. If your investing multiple hours of your time on the bank , I want to be confident I know the lure catches

I have a 4m pole which I can use for fake drone shots… if I had the time I completely agree, adds loads of production value

AliExpress, sorry I don’t have details to hand

@@theoccasionalangler6956 noo that’s brilliant thanks atleast I know where to look for one now :)

It makes it sooo much easier!

@theoccasionalangler6956 yeh I chanced upon it when trying to loop the line round my finger to tie it and suddenly had a light bulb moment and put it on the reel handle. I do a different finish to you so might need to investigate that a little more.

Maybe, tbh the hooks are easily sharp enough, these little trout quite often just nip at the lure.. not really taking it

I don’t think this would be ideal for trolling….. possibly if you went really slowly maybe 1-2ft below the surface

How wierd… I was actually cycling around monks hill today thinking about that exact question…. In short, several years ago I made the mistake of fishing these dykes outside of the river season and making a video about it……. I was crucified for doing this although to this day I don’t know if it actually falls under the river season……. To be absolutely sure I would assume it does fall under the river close season and I would suggest you contact the environment agency and get a definitive answer. Hope that helps

Cheers for the reply mate! Much appreciated.I will contact them to see how it stands for these dikes!! I know canals are still open, but to be honest I can't see these dikes being a problem?? I'll make sure anyway! I'll let you know if I get a reply.thanks mate

I know!!! Luckily my brother lives in Brisbane…. Will stock up next time I’m there!

Wifi doesn't work under water. A wireless camera of this kind doesn't exist.

Yes, good spot , I realised after uploading it that I had used the wrong wording !

I beleive down to 200m or 650ft

Yes that’s a nice looking rod

Thanks Jon, love to know how you get on with your

Thanks mate, yea hoping to get out and put these outfits through their paces this summer

Thanks Andy, hopefully I will get a chance to use them this summer

Thanks Dave, I should have put my camera gear down and just fished hard…. It was litterally a fish a cast … but after 1 hour it just turned off, not a single take
