Alan Scotthorne Bloodworm Fishing On The River Trent.

[@robertcourt8593]

It's a shame to read so many negative comments, like most things there is more than one way to skin a cat. You could easily make a groundbait mix with a high soil content and if fewer people were scared of B+J it would be easier to source.Personally I think we need more bloodworm fishing in England. If we're not careful we will fall behind the rest of Europe in international competitions.

[@MrARichards25]

I know the videos are heavy on endorsements but sponsorships come with promotional responsibilities and that is the kit of a world class angler. As for the groundbait mixes it is just an example of a mix that is good to use and I am sure with a little bit of research an angler on a modest budget could obtain something similar.

[@paulkerry69]

Nice fishing the Trent is slowly coming back even my local stretches are full of slivers on the middle

[@smitbar11]

Loads of Perch showing in the Nottingham stretches on maggot feeder

[@russellmurray8102]

I remember Kevin and Heap'sy doing this in the late 70'/early 80's. They just used soil from mole hills and ordinary groundbait, which didn't cost an arm and a leg

[@sjmclean0]

Aye man and a pack of smokes cost £1.50 15 years ago

[@enricotobio2515]

That's why you are an amazing angler

[@britishbluetess]

Alan is a brilliant angler but let's be honest the Trent doesn't need bloodworm on it,you could ball it in with a majority soil and crumb/lake mix with dead pinkie and catch as much.theres no need for bloodworm anymore in England. It's hard to obtain costs too much is too high maintenance and discourages new entrants to "natural" water matches.

[@XzzVttll]

you missed the point. the point is in the overall bloodworm tactic not just the tactic on the river trent

[@steveellerby6986]

Tell he gets bait for nowt. And all for a stone of roach. Liquidised bread might not win international competition but I'm sure it will catch plenty of roach

[@petertomo95]

If he gets bait for nowt why have u seen him buying it in my local tackle shop 🤷‍♂️

[@Northstar-Media]

Fantastic angler, but that's my bait bill for a month 😅 #sensas

[@fishingnorfolk]

good video but for anyone not sponsored and getting free bait would cost any normal angler a arm and leg

[@udubidub]

most enjoyable to watch.

[@Andresin29]

The camera tyeing to focus the colour of the grownd bait😂😂😂

[@dimitartodorov3857]

That's me groundbait for the whole summer :) lol

[@dafadd1790]

Alan Scotthorne, 5 times world champion explains his approach to B&J fishing his way. if you feel you could do better........😶

[@scottessery100]

thats £30 worth of Gbait nice to get sponsored !

[@graemeaitken1018]

I was counting it up too. Brown crumb and soil for this poor person. Lol!!

[@frankfaller2398]

Prob £80 for baits then bank fee and travel .. £100 plus

[@robchevalley8960]

I stand corrected he scrapped his own blood and joker and it's so long since I've bought a couple of match packs had no idea it wasn't still well over priced

[@stephenjlewis1976]

He’s quite good at that.

[@rexy649]

I want to fish on the Trent and I bought a new rod which is better than my other what kind of rod should I use cos I don't want my new one to break but still wanna catch sum big ones btw I live extremely close in normanton so I was wondering if you have any advice of good places near to by a fishing rod for that kinda well fish

[@sjmclean0]

He's a 5 time world champion, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Just because you're a tight arse doesn't mean everyone is.

[@elwooddestiny11blues20]

Good groundbait mix . Its a shame that it totals about £30.00 and thats just the ground bait , liquid and the dye .

[@thejoker7323]

Nice video, but that's one heck of a bait bill for a few hours fishing.

[@MrMush78]

Expensive couple of hour's fishing ....

[@michaelbottomley2520]

That's expensive to me it must be over 50 quid with your day ticket as well

[@pauljames1307]

European method done years ago ask Clive branson

[@jebos4982]

quand on va à la pèche on nourri pas le poisson mais on l'attrappe quand je vois tout ce déballage de matériels et d'amorce,moi je pèche avec un siège une canne de 4m et une toute petite poignée de chénevis et quand il y a du poissons sur place je fais parfois jusque 22kg et que du gros gardons et sans épuisette pour moi ça sais de la péche

[@robchevalley8960]

My word word, you think a carp session can be expensive if you want to use certain bait, I doubt that a money wise northern lad like Alan was doing this kind of fishing before his days of sponsorship

[@markstokes3685]

Ground bait hawker. Shameless

[@pauljames1307]

Another scotthorne commercial dated as his fishing

[@topfour9160]

Do you really put your name on them bowls 😂

[@karlnewbold4747]

Poaching a private members only stretch at Bardolph as you are not a member of the club . Tut Tut.

[@patrickwalker2509]

Slightly ridiculous with amount of feed/cost..............How much did all the bait and feed cost Alan?

[@northernthrifter8817]

Patrick walker would have been a good vid but the product endorsement switched me right off you don't need all that bolocks, I'd rather spend my money on something I'm not going to throw in the river. The consumer angle of fishing has become ridicules a window cleaner carries less buckets than Alan he's a walking endorsement it's ridicules. I know he's a good angler and all but for fuck sake every other word is sensas.

[@patrickwalker2509]

I guess quite a lot 'cos no reply

[@dimitartodorov3857]

Well they are paying for it. Probably for the transport as well. He probably has a spare set of everything just in case some of the wording is unreadable.

[@patrickwalker2509]

Still no answer 2 years later!

[@mcollin18]

Good lord fishing is complicated on your side of the pond.

[@tallshort1849]

This type of fishing is. Bloodworm joker fishing like this is international standard match fishing. Vast majority of fishing we do isn't like this but this is the top level of match angling being demonstrated by a multiple world champion

[@vasyasol]

seems like a lot of effort to catch one tiny roach lmao

[@Zola57]

Over half the video spent on using branded items. Prefer 5 mins on bait prep and more on the fishing.

[@niklasprice1049]

first 20 minutes wasted making groundbait, he could easily have started fishing and talked us through groundbait mixes while fishing, so many videos like this at the moment on youtube, a least the cadence videos start fishing immediately

[@philliputv1876]

He did not pay a penny us people £40 bait before fishing money Joker as in joker

[@juxtapositionerABC]

Alan's a great angler any fool can see that,but the thing that struck me was the heavy ground bait cock tail,why not just one heavy sticky type? far too complicated and expensive.

[@blenny47]

Advertising mmmm

[@shaneoreilly8488]

Way over the top....6 f##king buckets and about 60/70 quids worth of bait...absolute madness 🙄🙄

[@drhakim8365]

We are in it only for the money ...Frank Zappa.
