Barbel fishing on rolling meat... August 2021

Just a quick video of a beautiful Barbel caught on rolling meat a couple of weeks ago. Was an amazing scrap to land her from a classic Barbel swim.
Hope you enjoy.. Stay tuned for more uploads coming soon... Tight lines YRR.

My favourite swim,when I use to fish the river 20 years ago. It was big roach and chub back then.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Hi mate, yeah this is one awesome spot... Loads of Barbel about here last few years.... There is still some belting Roach in this stretch but they take some catching..... Very clever fish them...

Spot on

Cheers mate 👍🎣

Nice, me and a mate fished that peg around same time this video was filmed and we had 6 between us in 3 hour and i managed one on the fly.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

It's an awesome swim ain't it mate 😮, 6 out is good going n getting one to take a fly is awesome angling pal 👏. Thanks for watching pal 👍🎣

[@johnloxley8705]

Well done buddy. Lovely whisker that one and it looked like you had a proper scrap on your hands !!! Nice one 😁😊👍🏽🎣

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers John, yeah great scrap that, quite a shallow swim so she could only go sideways.. thanks for watching again pal 👍🎣

[@Writeous0ne]

get in mate worth the effort.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers mate, she was certainly a beautiful fish 😃🎣

[@MrTim207]

Good to see you off the mark with that stunning barbel. Lovely colour on it. I’ve not tried rolling meat yet but I’ve thinking of giving it a bash soon.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers mate, yeah finally got one out lol. Rolling meat is a great method to entice the Barbel out from the cover of the trees. Give it a go mate. Out for an evening session this week so hopefully more to come.. you been lately? Thanks for watching again pal 👍🎣

[@MrTim207]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 I’m hoping to get out after work on Thursday. I’ve only been once since I had the double two weeks ago. Managed a chub, a roach and a bream before the rain made me head home after two hours. Can’t wait to get back out again mate.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

@@MrTim207 your having a great season mate, keep fishing it mate, sure there's a few big Barbel n Carp waiting to be caught... see you down there one evening I'm sure 😉👍🎣

[@MrTim207]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 hopefully! I’d quite like my first river carp, I’ve seen them swimming through but never caught one… yet!

[@davewalker2167]

What a stunning fish, immaculate condition.well done👍 did u hair rig the meat or straight on the hook?

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers Dave, fished the meat straight on the hook as it doesn't snag on weed as much with the hook point buried.. thanks for watching mate 👍🎣

[@joelastlight7162]

So that`s why we have a Snake lure?

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Brave snake that as there is some big Pike around this area....

[@davidprocter1585]

Quality work, my friend! If you hadn't said 6, I would have given you 7 or 8lb🤣. Just one thing, it would have been great for you to demonstrate the rig and technique? Possibly in a future vid? Tight lines! 😊

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Thanks mate, yeah looking back think it might have gone 7lb... was heavy.. Yeah sorry never showed the set up or any explanation on the technique etc, was rushing around to much... Will add that to a future video.. thanks for watching pal 👍🎣

[@marcharley6465]

I've never tried rolling meat for barbel but I might give it a try after watching this. Do you feel the bites or do you need to be able to see the fish ? I usually rely on a feeder packed with halibut pellets, fishmeal groundbait and an oil attractant with hair rigged pellet or boilie.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

It deffo worth a try mate, Barbel love a moving bait.. I was feeling for the bites with the line in one hand.. feeder tip helps too as it shows the bites better.. I spotted a couple of Barbel feeding under the tree so I knew they were there... thanks for watching pal 👍🎣

[@Sylakk]

That fish was mint. Proper scrap in the shallows, It looked a lot smaller in the water but when it was on the bank it was a bit of a shock. My turn next pal. I can't have a barbeless season

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

That's not going to happen mate, Trent session coming up n loads of other sessions to come.. your luck will change soon pal 😉🎣

[@Sylakk]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 cant wait to hit in to a few. I'm itching for the scrap only a barbel can provide :) im not expecting a pb for me but we can deffo get you a new one this year :)

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

@@Sylakk hope so ... been stuck on 10lb12oz for years 😬

[@jorvikangler]

Nice one. A bit hair-raising trying to get barbel of that size out of a little river like that. Bet it didn't need to go far o find a snag.

[@yorkshireriverrover7199]

Cheers mate, yeah bit of a hit n hold job. Have to keep the rod low too.. all good fun, hope your fishing is going well? Rivers looking good up North?

[@jorvikangler]

@@yorkshireriverrover7199 They've been a bit low despite the rain. Though a couple a rising from the recent rain.
