Again another brilliant video.. top man Jamie

[@nigelstannard7443]

Well done Jamie......worked hard for this 👍...... personally I would have found a count of 12-14 feet in depth..in sub zero conditions...as through my experiences deep water never produced a bite for me☹️.....a hard lake in which I fished this January (last two weeks).....5 x4hr sessions produced in excess of 120lb of bream 👍....in around 12ft of water.....4 X cage feeder casts... chopped worm..2 pieces of corn... sieved groundbait....half worm or corn hook bait.....changed to bomb over the top done the trick 👍.....then 2 casts on feeder ....then bank to bomb ......fed no more than half a pint of groundbait...12 pieces of corn for a 4hr session.... accuracy on casting a must 👍....ps love your videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How deep😳the lead that weight has to fall between 1-2feet per second surely 40-50ft deep, that feeder must be falling on a huge ark towards you,would the feed still be in the feeder falling at an angle🤔, would have to cast 30 foot from the bank and walk to the box for a straight fall,mmmm, welldone👍

Hi Jamie, most anglers know when it’s gonna be hard....but still we go. Some of us suffering a blank will return determined to catch something, even a 2oz perch can make your day.... but you go the extra mile and I admire your tenacity. Excellent video. Thanks

[@trevoror8668]

Have spent this winter paying close attention to our koi carp and during these very cold days that sit totally motionless torpid but even when its -5 during the dark hours go out with a torch and they are all about as soon as it's light back to sleep. Strange things these fish

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Really mate? Have they been sitting at the same depth too?

[@trevoror8668]

@@CatchFishingChannel hi Jamie. yep in the very deepest part totally motionless yet go out there 10 at night and they are all moving about as soon as it's light back to motionless. It's something I've seen on the rivers there will be totally no fish not a bight or rising just at the point of darkness some signs of life rising and so on. Folk think the fish find hiding holes in the winter i don't they will just sit in the current for days totally switched off but the koi moving after dark makes me think if it wasn't so very cold night times there might be a bight or two to be had

[@WT5R]

My local again. Fished it from boy to man. Awesome fishing Jamie awesome video thanks 🎣🎣

Thanks mate! Have you fished it recently?

More really tough sessions and credit to you're integrity and solid hardcore attitude to fishing. You really do love your fishing and deserving fish for all you're hard work. Scenery is awesome and very similar looking to Ireland on greenery and depth. Great to see a longer episode too. Thanks again for loading up sessions and you're talk through methods and how you talk through swims and the experience to adapt to difficult circumstances.

jamie, i think i enjoyed that more than a previous video where you caught the sturgeon, absolutely top angling well done mate

[@derekbatey1501]

Great video Jamie, a skilfully put together story with a well deserved happy ending! I love it up there too and know how tough it can be at best of times but that was something else! Think sometimes that shallower water can just warm up that little bit quicker , even by a fraction ,which triggers the fish. Well done mate 👏

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Thanks Derek really appreciate it mate! Yes I think you're right and I think it's a bit more sheltered there from those cold winds etc so maybe it's not surprising that was the best spot in hindsight. Do you fish it in winter?

[@derekbatey1501]

@@CatchFishingChannel The last time I fished it into winter was a couple of years back. In total contrast it was dead low, after that really hot summer, maybe 2018? Anyway it fished quite well, lots of fish down the other end towards the dam wall, roach and skimmers. That water level makes all the difference! Wet my appetite to go up again soon! Cheers Jamie👍

[@iang953]

Just caught up on this and really enjoyed it Jamie. Admire your dedication and commitment to the job in hand. As the old boy who helped me start fishing as a kid 40 years ago always said "You can only catch whats in front of you lad, some days they just aint there"

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Thanks again Stephen mate I thought it would make a change and at least show that it doesn't always go to plan does it! Take care mate look after yourself :)

[@mikesmith4718]

1 prebait only gives them 24hrs to find it, maybe a 2 or 3 day prebait might have worked ? I fish similar reservoirs in winter & find a count of 8 to 10 is best ? Good effort

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh Mike that's exactly what I wanted to do but I thought it might have been a bit risky in the time frame I had. That'll have to be the next challenge mate ;)

Fantastic Jamie great to see it is the same for all of us, you can't catch what isn't there. Thank you.

Fantastic dedication to the cause, dam flask is so different from when I used to fish it in the 70s and 80s , it was a great place to fish , my best fish was a perch weighing 3lb 12oz on a spinner, cheers.

Hi Jamie , great vid as always, just a question about the pre baiting, I’ve done that, turned up the next day to find an angler in the swim. I guess the reservoir you was fishing was large enough to chance it?

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Oh Sav yes that was on my mind so I picked a spot which was a bit out of the way and out of sight of the path to try and increase my chances of nobody being there! Haha I got lucky lol

I've dived straight down when swimming in lakes like that and at the point where the light starts to fade there is a huge drop in water temperature. I wonder if the coloured water brings the fish up in the water because of the temperature difference?

hi jamie,watch all your films but this one is brilliant,well done for sticking at it too.👍what lines and quivertips were you using?stay safe.

[@CatchFishingChannel]

Hi Paul, thanks for watching mate! On every session I used the 3.3m Horizon Pro Slims www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/horizon-pro-slim-rods?c=rods-horizon and 1oz tips mate 👍

[@paulthompson5597]

many thanks for replying jamie,top man👍im saving up for a box like yours first,then ill look at rods😂😂

[@paulkerry69]

If I worked this out right it was around 31-34ft deep. Its a little bit difficult because your weight is in grm instead of oz. If your lead had been 8oz it would be around 4ft per a second so around 8 seconds for 32ft. So guessing 30g is around an ounce so that would be 1ft per a second. But I don't know if a tight line would slow the sink rate down because you have got that arch of the lead coming back towards you so you could of only been fishing around 16m out. That depends on if you clipped up after the lead has been on the bottom or on measure stick. Any way well in mate tough fishing that

Nice one thanks for that mate! You've done quite a bit of deep water fishing haven't you Paul?
