Enjoyed that thank you Duncan.......question, if allowed would you use maggots over corn/bread? Reason I ask is I fish the Derbyshire Dove for Grayling but am allowed maggot, but will def be giving the bread / corn mixture a go, if rivers ever get back in their banks!
@duncancharmanangling113613 күн бұрын
Hi Mark, I prefer corn over maggot and bread as a hook bait last. Reason is that if you get six grayling from a swim you are doing well before they wise up, so by using corn it generally knocks out the small pencil grayling and picks up the better fish, so six biggish grayling is better than three big ones along with three small ones!

What’s the purpose of the orange plastic tags on the trebles please?
@duncancharmanangling113613 күн бұрын
They are called bait flags. When pushing the treble through the tail section, or a dorsal fin, the barbed point often comes out the other side. By pacing a flag over the barbed points it often means that even after catching a pike the bait isn't lost and can be used again. I use them mainly to tell me which are the barbed points when unhooking a pike.

The Royalty is my local river & last year's pike season was a wash out with the amount of rain we had, couldn't get near it, but it's certainly busy this season,with some nice catches coming out.
@johnh5660Ай бұрын
It's funny because I'm a river angler mainly and always have been. The idea of these famous stretches of river makes me a little cold as I always imagine them heaving with people like a commercial almost . Being able to name all the swims etc. At the same time the royalty is so famous that I would also love to go and see it for myself . Great video
@richpeas1924Ай бұрын
@johnh5660 I've found the Royalty doesn't get that heavily fished, it's managed very well, my local club has 20 tickets for its members & if they are all taken then you buy a day ticket. But the times I've fished it, never had a problem getting a swim.
@duncancharmanangling1136Ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment Rich. Only fished The Royalty a couple of times and never for pike but did get smashed to bits fishing for perch in the Compound Pool a few years ago. It rained all day and I still have visions of a twenty plus tail walking out of the pool!

If a pike ingests a dead bait with a balsa or polystyrene/foam ball, does it lead to a dead pike? The balsa or polystyrene/foam ball would block its digestive tract? Is that why prolific pike waters are getting rarer and rarer?
@duncancharmanangling1136Ай бұрын
The chance of a pike digesting a poly ball or balsa stick is almost impossible as these should always be attached to the wire trace in some way.

Would you fish this same rig for chub if grayling and trout weren't a problem, or would you fish the bait directly on the hook with a longer tail?
@rickymossman1937Ай бұрын
Sometimes longer hooklenths works but anglers pressure around you makes it hard to many lines in the water is have learnt it even in bad conditions
@duncancharmanangling1136Ай бұрын
Long hook lengths were used on this occasion due to the rubbish coming down river and building up around the lead which can mask the hook bait when using short hook lengths.

Hi Duncan ! Great video. Just wanted to ask you if you use a special type of balsa stick ? Went fishing the other day and I inserted a balsa stick in my deadbait. At first it popped up good but after an hour it went straight to the bottom. I think the wood took water... Do your have any recomandation ? Thx
@duncancharmanangling1136Ай бұрын
I use the Pike Pro sticks and never had a problem. This may seem a silly question but was your deadbait frozen when you first tested it as if so this maybe the reason as frozen baits are really buoyant.

@borderlands6606Ай бұрын
It's important to remember that rivers change, and the Trent won't always be as prolific a barbel river as it is today. Every river goes through different cycles, whether it be trout to roach, bream to barbel and they can easily revert back again as rivers like the Hampshire Avon have done. Enjoy it while it lasts.
@duncancharmanangling1136Ай бұрын
The Loddon and Kennet, rivers close to me, and ones I have spent countless hours on where once the rivers to be on, sadly these have gone through years of tough times. The Kennet seems to be on the way back but as for the Loddon, it's still a sorry state. The Thames stays relatively productive and the Avon seems to be bouncing back. Im guessing the Trent has peaked and still going through an amazing spell, but Im fully aware this may not last. As you say, make the most of the good times as nothing lasts forever!

Hello, I subscribe. It's a pleasure to watch you and you take the time to explain well. Too bad I don't understand English and that KZbin translates badly. In addition, on PC the comments are not translated either. I am 68 years old and I believe in dead fish fishing. Unfortunately, for the moment nothing caught, and to get specific components for this fishing, in France, it is not easy. If you could continue the videos on the different assemblies with size of the components used, that would be wonderful. Good catches to all Robert
