[@anthonyperry8308]

glad you christened the new tackle m8 great video again 👍 talk about new tackle jinx got myself a new feeder rod mot had a touch on it lol that's fishing

[@markerd5378]

Hah yep Anthony that was what I was worried about, especially with Two newer bits of tackle. Half expected to have really jinxed myself 😂

[@momentsinanglingessence855]

Great video Mark! I laughed so loud at your outburst as the reel started screaming! 🤣

[@markerd5378]

Haha thanks mate, wish you'd do a few more videos on your waters around Oxfordshire, I've enjoyed them.

[@momentsinanglingessence855]

Thanks Mark! I'm gonna try and do them more regularly, as long as the fish show up for camera! 😄

[@darionmcneely8812]

Nice job as always my friend. Hope all is well with you and yours in the kingdom.

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Darion, no everywhere is upside down, with lies and half truths and political agendas. But what's new mate!

[@_-Spoons-_]

Gorgeous fish mate 👍🏻 watched it on my son's vr was literally sat on the bank with you! I actually asked you if you wanted me to pass the net when you were playing Mr barbus lol🤣😂🤣😂

[@markerd5378]

Haha Lee, abit of virtual fishing reality eh! Sounds good to me mate!

[@mattslade5196]

The Shakespeare golden eagle is a lovely pin mark I still use mine they are great fun I personally think all our southern rivers are now moody times are changing I am afraid

[@markerd5378]

True mate, some harder hit than others but none of them in the best condition that they should be in.

[@fishingwithringo1448]

Great video Mark - very enjoyable watch and well done on the catch

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Simon, not so long left now mate. I did plan to get out barbel fishing but I'm currently feeling like some more pike fishing or chub. What about yourself for the remaining weeks?

[@fishingwithringo1448]

@@markerd5378 - I'm dreading the close season therefore I'm trying to get 2 evening sessions in each week. It's hard going, but I'll keep at it. Watching your videos is helping me to keep motivated and chase an end of season Barbel.

[@markerd5378]

@@fishingwithringo1448 Well best of fortune mate. Hope you nab one or two!

[@captainfrank01]

Well, I think you can say that well and truly christened the outfit Mark, great fish!

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Frank I reckon if I'd taken a banana it may have just tipped it to being a blank though lol.

Great video Mark. Proper way to christen new rod. I absolutely loved pheasant calls in the background👌 Well done👌

[@markerd5378]

Cheers Roman, it was a blissful trip and I love hearing pheasant and Tawny Owl's.

[@stephenmachin9344]

Brilliant trip Mark,beautiful fish. Thanks for the new tackle review.

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Stephen I'm very happy with the rod and do want to get one of the shorter ones when they have stock.

[@jackiejames526]

Awesome video as always Mark. Thank you as always

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Scott, haha elegance I have my moments I suppose 🤔😂

[@markjones919]

Splendid video

[@markerd5378]

Thank you Mark and cheers for watching!

[@Ben_JM]

"SHIT!" 9:00 🤣🤣🤣

[@markerd5378]

Lmao that will be my fingers getting hit by the pin 😂😂

[@carpypete]

Nice fish Mark. Great when the pin goes. If you want a good one for barbel & carp, look out for an Okuma Aventa I think it's called, ( the bronze one). Got 2, brilliant reels.

[@markerd5378]

Thanks Pete, I've actually got an aventa which I use time to time when deadbaiting for pike. Check wise the check on the Shakespeare is a lot stronger and with that extra little bit of resistance which I like.

[@oliverstephen1740]

Always impress me on the size of fish you get out of such small streams. Well done Mark 👏

[@markerd5378]

Cheers Oliver, there are so many little rivers and Brooks that do contain some good fish, but won't for much longer if the water companies keep polluting.

[@vintage2429]

Happy birthday pal

[@markerd5378]

Many thanks mate 👍😀

[@vintage2429]

New rod looks amazing too. I love my 1.2lb tfg classic rod great action. Don’t always need heavy rods. One question though I looked at the black rock rod did you happen to know it’s line rating and did you go any lower on line strengths with the lighter test curve?

[@stephenisom6089]

nice one mark smashing fish hard fighting ,so your new rod and reel did the job they were meant to do so that,s a result i fish a lot with a centrepin reel on rivers on a stick to catch dace roach and chub with a few surprises coming out like ruff and gudgion ,, its nice when you buy some gear and it works ,lovely bit of river mark and some big fish ,,, i stick with the pin ,or is that pin with a stick.... any way mark nice fish good video crabtree fishing new tackle it does not get better than that ,until your next adventure down by the waters edge tight lines,,

[@markerd5378]

It put a good bend in the rod and a feisty scrap. I love using pins but this season must admit I had been on the fixed spool reel a fair amount. I did want to get some more trotting in before the end of the season but we shall have to see.

[@rosshughes3438]

A great way to Christen the news toys, dude. Well Done Mark 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@kerrylawler7526]

Great way to Angle on the centre pin mark and what away to christen the new rod with a mint Barbel Happy Birthday by the way 👌

[@shippo1159]

Very robust reels does it have a check and spool brake I believe they were previously made by Grice and Young

[@francolinobasco]

just a check no spool brake that i know of on this one mate. Robust is exactly what i thought when i purchased it. A bargain for £12.50

[@shippo1159]

@@francolinobasco definitely

[@JimBob-lz1gy]

Proper tackle, can’t be doing with giant bait runners and carp rods. Some are using 2.75 rods for barbel these days.

[@markerd5378]

This I couldn't agree with more, 2.75 rods on small rivers is over gunning and like taking a chainsaw to cut a nicely cooked steak with.

[@1dowsey]

Do you make your paste with water Mark or just keep some of the paste back you use to roll your boilies

[@markerd5378]

I keep some of the paste back mate, so it's an egg paste.

[@MihuFishing]

Great Video Mark like always! Can you please share what camera you are using? Thank you Mihu

[@markerd5378]

Cheers Mihu, I use two generally, for a lot of filming I keep to a basic dji osmo action camera, which is tiny, waterproof and takes an external microphone and for other filming I use a lumix gh5.

[@MihuFishing]

@@markerd5378 Thank you Mark! I Was just wondering about your nearly perfect light at night recordings. Do you have a seperate light for this? Thank you!
