Great video rob, i love using bread whenever i go upto the Norfolk broads especially when i have stayed in a boatyard as the fish are used to getting bread from the holiday boats

I live in Stamford Rob and fishing is not as good as it used to be . Like you say it's full of weed these days and this year not had much rain to put extra water in to give it a good flush out . If that happens the fishing once the water level starts to drop can be brilliant . The meadows up stream about a mile or so are much better but further to walk , great chub fishing . I had a mate who was good friends with Ivan Marks and he used to come down into Stamford and fish with us years ago , great memories 👍

Great vid Rob great tip with the gravel but like Chris said would be good to see the feed reaction in the water Cheers Mate.

That's blackspot disease. It's a type of tape worm. The spots are actually the worms between the scales and the layer of skin (which the mucus protects) covering the scales. Roach and Rudd both get this and seem not to be affected by even large scale infections. The life cycle of these worms is that the fish get eaten by birds, the worm then matures in the bird and lays its eggs, which get dropped in the birds faeces, which hatch, burrow their way into snails, mature into a larger larval form, which then finds and burrows into fish ..... and round and round we go. Birds help spread the disease to nearby waters.

Brilliant info 👍 I vaguely remember being taught this at fishery college ... A long time ago now though

Nice little video Rob. Otters have no problem feeding in town center's. I live in Sudbury suffolk, & someone managed to film an otter take a duck in the town center, surrounded by dog walkers. It's on KZbin somewhere.

I had a family of three swim past in Spaulding a few years ago .... I guess they follow the fish and have got used to people

[@geoffsutton3157]

Great vid.

[@jamesward1426]

Nice video Rob, dipping your pole tip in before every time you ship out, is that to keep the elastic a bit wet in case you you catch a bigger fish? Do you prefer to do that instead of using pole slip? TIA James

[@RobWootton]

I use a bit of silicon lubricant at the start but very now and then I just give it a pull under the water to help it retract

[@iang953]

The hiviz 3/4 is absolutely spot on for punch fishing, cheap as chips just like the bait. Nice video again Rob. Did you try a grain of hemp on the hook?

[@RobWootton]

We didn’t get time for the hemp unfortunately

[@derekskinner]

Do you really need to fish that far out--can you not catch closer in ? and do you ever use the whip for punch fishing ?

[@RobWootton]

It was too shallow closer in an dehut you see me catch some fish quite quickly you’d never compete with a whip over a long period of time. You make less mistakes on a long pole and miss less bites. Whip fishing for me is for very short range or if the peg is solid

[@derekskinner]

@@RobWootton We will have to agree to disagree on the whip issue, --Tight lines.

Rob....I know Stamford quite well. Where did you park?

[@istvanfarkas3033]

Behind the peg, Water street
