Thanks Mike 👍

[@waynesfishingadventures]

Fab vlog Maff as always, love your passion for your fishing and always got a smile or a giggle going on even when the fishing isn't going your way, take care and look forward to more videos 👍🎣

[@MaffTUK]

Wayne, i try to make each video a journey or a story and if i catch that is fantastic but more often than not i don’t. But to me that’s ok because its a story of what went on, my thoughts, trials and errors i don’t mind showing a blank I’m not after big sponsorship (clearly) I’m just enjoying myself and its great to see comments like yours as it means that what im trying to put across is visable to most 😁 my vids are just a bloke fishing or doing what ever and enjoying his spare time like most of us do 😁👍 great comment and thank you regards Matt

[@stephencoyne3181]

Great vlog as always Maff,cracking mirror carp for the other Lee👍

[@MaffTUK]

I hate him ........... LOL ok i dont really , yeh Lee did good Swan is a hard lake but the rewards are awesome 👍🐟

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Cracking video Maff, come over after watching carpking71, loving the look of the channel, as I too fish for fish, hammock wildcamping, bushcraft etc, one day I hope to get over to bluebell, very enjoyable video, love your passion, always smiling and laughing, brilliant to see, tight lines, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

[@2701dnk]

Great Vlog Matt, nice Camera angles, your effort is appreciated, looking forward to your next Vlog as always, thankyou for Sharing.👍.

[@MaffTUK]

I class this lake as big boy fishing and i really like fishing here, the first time i came here without a chaperone ie Dave and Andy showing me the ropes i was a bit nervous..... ok I was crapping it LOL Bluebells is without doubt my top favourite venue despite how hard it is. PS oops I missed this comment 6 months ago 😁

Before I give my comment I would like to say I was so touched 😭😭😭to see you be a great grandpa 👴You just drop everything and took your grand daughter phone call ,that my friend was the best high light moment of the video 🤩... that shows that you are an amazing husband and father and the most loving grandpa!!! Thank you for been such a great example to all the men that watch your videos 😊 ..now that I have said that ... I have to say you teach me a very important lesson on fishing 😳 how to throw the line and drag it to feel the bottom of the pond or lake ...that was very great point ...so thank you !! As always your (numero uno fan👍)take care🙋‍♀️

[@MaffTUK]

Well Keri its no surprise that I'm getting the blame LOL😁 ive pretty much accepted the fact that no matter WHAT, WHEN, WHERE OR WHO its my fault...according to my better half! and to be fair she does inform me that she is always right. so to that end I accept full responsibility. 🤣...... Thank you Keri for a great comment and thank you for watching, kind regards Matt 👍

[@craykooo8947]

Nice to watch. Fun and not full of arse kissing of a sponsor or pushing products. Good to see just friends fishing 👍

[@MaffTUK]

Hi Maff T , I found you very entertaining whilst watching your good friend Chris aka Carpking , I’ve watched majority of his videos and must say I enjoyed this just as much , very simple explanations on tactics and my god just like Chris it’s nice not to have brands thrown in your face every few minutes. Keep up the great work and good luck on your next one 🎣🎣

I check KZbin daily to see if you’ve uploaded any videos maff! Highlight of my evening when you do! Have I missed a video somewhere? I noticed you on the bloggers social on the carp kings blog, only reason I watched it was to see if you were there ha, I’m now on week six of blanking so I think we have that in common ha A cheeky shoutout would bring a smile to my face! Tight lines mate, look forward to the next one 😊

[@leegilbert8771]

MAff absolutely loved the blog. You capture the vibe of what fishing is all about and the the music over the top of filming for me is just awesome gives a real feel and drama. Top draw and with blogs like this I can only see you going from strength to strength 👍👍👍

[@MaffTUK]

Thanks Lee it was fun weekend, I loved it, always love fishing with you guys but have to give a special shout out to Martin I really hope he sees this vid despite the mooo van bit lol. Its a bit of faffing messing with the camera and changing angles but i think if you show what’s really going on then nobody can criticise…. But as always everyone is entitled to an opinion and trolls will eventually find something they dont like but for folk like me, you, Simon and Andy. its simply good company and as I said in the video I don’t care how far it is …… its what I do when I get there. Always a pleasure my friend Kindest regards Matt ... ps regards to your family

[@johnfros9736]

I was in that peg this week I was getting liners all night 😬 I should of brought them in closer I did for the last 2 hours carp all ever me ill be back soon

[@MaffTUK]

well thats what happens to most on that peg. but if you dont know then you are going to lob it to the middle, drives you mad though when your bait is on their fishy snout....and they just wont touch it lol better luck next time John 👍

[@philclark6250]

I'm still embarrassed for you mat but the shout outs made it easier 😁 I stopped about a mile from there in Fotheringhay, very quiet place,I was gonna do a few overnighters before work but the bailifs said it was mainly a day water,so I stuck to fishing the river at the bottom of the guest house we stopped in,full of carp and barbel they said,I was working down there three months and never had any😂😂😂😂 carry on you'll bag a guddun one day I'm sure of it

[@MaffTUK]

I just googled Fotheringhay as i though why have i heard of that place ...DUH MAFF..its the little village i drive through to get to bluebells lol....... we all set out thinking this is going to be the one ... this is it ...... i cant fail .... big fish here we come .....here we go...... and then we fail lol... wouldnt have it any other way it just keeps the party going Phil 👍

thats bloody unlucky, id have been the same 3 black zigs,and blanked, its sods law, maybe there eating something thats hatching and just didnt want any bait, better luck next time, cheers lee

yep as one chap said should have dropped the fish spy in to see what was going on ....yep that was a fair shout, wil remember that LC 👍

[@johnjinn599]

You should have threw your spy out for half an hour ..At least you would have exactly what they were doing .Never give up ,I love that you are as honest as they come .

[@MaffTUK]

you know john i did want to do that but i did not want to spoil my chances but i may take that advice in future and risk it, as you say it may make all the difference and it would be interesting to see 👍 yep i should have had a look

[@stephenbuckham1812]

Another great camping and cookery video next time not so much of the music can't hear you properly over it lovely scenery gorgeous roll on the next video. Can i get a shout out please.

[@MaffTUK]

Ah you see Stephen the first upload was taken down by me due to sync errors (music being one of them) so this time it should be much better although the music still covers up some what is being said due to the trolls that will pull out comments made and turn them into something its not "example at one point one of the lads said "yeh but you’ve had ten beers already" some twat will comment "ten beers is too much and you cant fish safely" yada yada yada when in fact he only had 4 that lads just play to the camera not realising they will attract the trolls .. so cover it with music but keep the background noise in and LOL camping and cooking vid yep your right there bud certainly not fishing ... just noticed a lot of adverts in this one will have to sort that... yep Will do you a shout out mate oh and the next vid already filmed Dave and i screwed it right up and everyone else is on fish its a total embarrassment to both of us we were sooo gutted

[@stephenbuckham1812]

@@MaffTUK Dont see the point in people whatching just to have a go they should go and hide under a rock or something i for one really enjoy your videos keep em coming

[@ownsacat]

The fish have too much to eat in the pond. I think there is probably 20 fish in the entire pond and there's a ton of food in that water. Another thought is, if they are on the surface jumping up for the flies in the air or whatever they are doing, you need some bate that floats on the top of the water and looks like an insect. :-)

[@MaffTUK]

Hello June you are of course correct its known as match the hatch so if a predominant insect is hatching like for example the may fly then a good zig rig would be the imitation may fly or otherwise known as the zig bugs.... there are many different types i have loads of different ones from tadpoles snails and mayflies 😁👍

[@chucky1golf]

Can you fish surface baits there? Good try Maff

you can Martin but you dont have long as the seaguls will rob you blind in seconds even close in, they love the sound of spodding in the morning or the smell off catapult rubber lol

Maff T UK Your keeping it real, and having fun. Personally, I can't stand the "I cast out and an hour later had a 20, and three hours after that had a 30, etc., etc. Videos". Your vids always tell a story of how the session unfolds, for good or bad. I don't know how you do it, though. I did do a couple of brief videos back in the day. You can even see them on youtube still. But it was just too much hard work for me. Too much of a lazy Btard........lol!
