Deep River Bolognese Fishing Sutton on Derwent

[@robertmedzai8163]

Well John what can 1 say , what a great setting . Canals and rivers you can't beat for fishing because you never know what your going to catch.

[@MarkBagger]

Great vid mate, nice to see good old chair and shove in the ground banksticks. Instead of a truck load of gear lol. All the best for Christmas and the New year 👍🏻

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

The chair gets its outings, had it years and still going strong. Merry Christmas to you too mate.

[@skill692]

Great video I've fished around there a few times and had some good roach once you get amongst em. Enjoyed it mate catch you again soon.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Andrew, I've seen your video fishing the same peg on the feeder. Strange I couldn't catch a roach on the static bait, but that's what keeps fishing interesting... never know how they'll want it on the day. May see you on the bank. Tight lines pal.🎣

[@chrisbarratt4622]

You've done it again John, another great video on a real miserable day, fishing and filming with commentary must take a lot of effort, well done! Stay safe and take care.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Chris, the real work is in the editing, talking about fishing is the easy bit. Merry Xmas bud. 🎅🦌🎁

[@alycidon12]

John.. Another belting vid mate, am trolling ebay and other sites looking for that chair. YES the tactic of adding groundbait worked a treat mate well fished. Best wishes to you and all your family for Christmas...Tight Lines IAN

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Ian, hope you find one mate, they do come up from time to time. Not sure what weight you are but my larger friends have the new X25 and regretted selling the old chair as the leg locking mech is different in the new one and they were slipping so Jamie resolved that by drilling the legs every inch to allow for adjust and putting lynch pins through and John resolved it with some clamps, not ideal but it works for them. Don't know what the X25 is like for a lightweight like me but I'm actually trying to find an Aeronium chair but none in stock anywhere since mid June. 😭. It's for those sessions where I may just want to plonk down for a bit but stay very mobile, as they're only 2kg.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Merry Christmas to you and yours too. 🎅

[@AirwolfBMG]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel: hi there John, there are 70plus, off those chairs currently on EBay mk1 and 2’s. If your still looking 👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Brilliant thanks Dave, just ordered one.

[@adamstoneangling3411]

Quality video as usual mate, you selected two very effective methods and had a quality bag of fish as a result including that bonus Perch. Well done John.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Adam, could have easily been double figures if those silver beauties turned up a bit earlier. Next time I go, it's getting the groundbait from the off.

[@adamstoneangling3411]

All the best John, hope you and family stay safe and well. Looking forward to 2021

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thank you Mike and a Merry safe Christmas to you and yours too. 👍

[@pmay222]

what a nice mixed bag with a comfy chair and minimal tackle... id have loved to see you try a thumbnail size bit of bread... there was a 3lb+ beast with yo name on it lurking in the deep i rekon... thats just how i fish now.. a match approach keep tryina get bites etc.... enjoyed that..

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Next time! Merry Christmas pal.

[@Yorkie83]

Awesome video again mate, great location too

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Cheers pal, hope you're managing to still get out for a session or two.

[@phillipblackham9629]

Nice one John Happy Christmas and stay safe 👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Phillip, Merry Xmas to you too, all the best mate. 🎣

[@clivedavies3]

Suprised you didnt get a small chub or a larger one towards the end, nice roach, you cant beat river perch for their fitness to fight. Keep up the good work while your learning were learning.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

No chub again Clive but those perch go really well, great fun.

[@Scottsoutdoorchannel]

Good session as always mate

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Scott

[@philipmansell7639]

Really enjoyed the video John,the peg switched on with groundbait, strange there was nothing on worm.Hope you and the family have the best Xmas you can and hopefully a better 2021

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes I thought I'd pick up on the worm too, but maybe they just didn't fancy it that day. We're all hoping for a Happier, Healthier, New Year. Merry Christmas to you and yours too.

[@fitman42]

some nice stamp roach there pal

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Cheers mucka, just wish I'd filled it in earlier.

[@Thermopylae2007]

Very informative video. I am wondering whether or not to give this a try in Canada. I know of a couple of similar waters that might hold some perch or other fish at depth. They would be difficult to target with our conventional gear so this might open up new possibilities.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Definitely worth a try, there's lots of bolo rods around, check out my tackle talk on long rods and it'll give you an insight into the key differences between the continental style bolo and a traditional long rod and their advantages / disadvantages. If you choose to go for a continental style rod as used here, they make them in lengths up to 10 metres (generally have to import then from Italy) and they make them in some very strong models to fish for carp and barbel. This one is a medium light for use with floats in the 5-15g range and is probably suitable for fish up to 4lb Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Tight Lines 🎣

[@Thermopylae2007]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel Thank-you for your thorough response. I will take a close look at your videos as that is precisely what I was looking for. There's a few European sites that ship to Canada at reasonable cost, and I was thinking of setting a traditional and bolo style rod for reaching fish in a few areas near me where nobody is targeting them. We've had access to standard carp fishing here for sometime now, but feeder rods, match rods and bolos were hardly available, and even fewer fishermen would have known how to set them up!

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

@@Thermopylae2007 to be honest it's not a widely used method in the UK, only those of us prepared to adopt. You could always try a top and bottom slider on a 13 or 14ft rod but I explain the drawbacks in the long rods video , I just got hold of some top and bottom slider floats from germany, www.ebay.de/itm/113757763865

[@AirwolfBMG]

Great video John. Surprised you don’t use some hemp? When ever we travel up north there always seems to be the odd better fish being held by it plus it’s good for deep swims, as it sinks so quick. Pouch or two every now n then really does pin the better fish down. IMHO. Merry Christmas to you and your family 👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Thanks Dave, just feeling my way back in to the Derwent so difficult to try everything at once but I actually forgot to pick my hemp up that day despite taking it out of the freezer the night before! Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎅

[@stevebrand1619]

Fished opposite bank good few years back when Goole had that stretch deffo need a platform very soft bank In those reed beds, access was from back of the blacksmiths shop used to be parking for 2 or 3 cars near bridge opposite side to blacksmiths back then not sure about now though.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Think it's still the same Stephen from what a Hulk member told me.

[@IlMangustaKMRUTEAM]

It's funny to see that a fishing technique born in your country is used by an UK guy and seeing in your country people fishing with the complementar UK technique based on the opposite way of thinking. Fishing it's really international.

[@jorvikangler]

Nice to see that area heading back to it' former self, although I'm sure all this rain won't have done it any good down there.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yes, its way to high and no doubt the banks are even worse now. Its a shame as I really want to fish the pole on some of it, but will have to wait until the levels go down - that'll probably be on the Hull side next time. If I'd given it some groundbait early on I think it could've easily been a double figure net.

[@jorvikangler]

​@@HOOKEDFishingChannel Never seen anybody fish the Hull side. At least with a York book you have somewhere to park.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I chatted to a lad on opposite bank, parking is in the left before the bridge for Hull.

[@fishingnorfolk]

Great video. Some lovely stmp roach. What bolo rod are you using. Cheers

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Hi Nigel, it's a Preston Absolute 6m bolo.

[@tonyrobinson3808]

you say you have some lighter bolo rigs are theses set up on winders cheers

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yes, I have some setup on winders, though the rig I was using here was setup ready at home as I knew what I was facing so avoided the need for joining the line. If you have to do that, it's best to just setup the bottom couple of metres with olivette and droppers etc on and join to your may line lower down rather than end up with a knot running through the rods eyes. This means beaing able to then slide your float over the joining knot, so best to just attach with float rubbers and ignore any side eyes on the float if they have them. For larger versions i use the preston bolos in 3-6g, under 3g I use the Dave Harrel no.2 bolos, that generally covers my needs.

[@darrenbrewster3345]

John Slider may be gud fun on there bud 👍👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Slider would work well mate, I prefer a fixed rig where possible though, just gets the float registering bites faster.

[@darrenbrewster3345]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel Saves on a long rod though bud It’s gud fun I use to fish the tees around Stockton on the slider it’s gud fun 👍👍👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

It does mate, I'm proficient in slider fishing but these days I only really employ it when the depths get beyond the range of my long rods or a far bank cast is required - I've got the rods, so I use em. Won a team event on the Tees at Stockton back in 2004 but we fished the pole that day.

[@darrenbrewster3345]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel No disrespect intended John And sliders can be a pain to fish 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Looks a nice venue to fish all methods And I’m enjoying all you vids as well as all the other Yorkshire lads that are making KZbin vid 👍👍👍

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

No offence taken Darren, glad you enjoy them mate. I don't pretend to be perfect, and other people do things differently, that's fine with me, I like to hear from people who have an opinion on how they'd tackle a venue. I just try to give something back to the sport and show what works or doesn't work for me. Nothing wrong with the slider. I may even use it for a feature on one of our deeper rivers at some point. Up tha Yorkshire and Tight lines bud.

[@fishypie]

is that reel the abu 507 mk2, im thinking of treating my self to one for trotting in the severn.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yes its a 507 mk2.

[@fishypie]

what would you give the 507 out of 10 and have you had any probs with line going behind the spool

[@fitman42]

i only half fill the spools and never have any problem with mine mate

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

OK, it's a little heavy and quite a large reel which in one sense is good but I do prefer something a little more compact (I had a 704 before it got stolen which was an excellent reel). In terms of reliability, no problems what so ever (I've got two of them), bail mechanisim is positive but as with all closed face reels, sometimes the line beds in a little so you have to work the rod tip to keep paying line out, it's just the nature of them. Forget about the drag, they're next to useless, back wind or spool control to allow the handle to go backwards if you need to give line. Overall 7/10

[@fitman42]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel just got a 704 myself , i think they were made about 10 yrs ago but they seem a nice little compact reel

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Yes, i loved mine, might get another although I'm contemplating picking up a Daiwa 123m, my first ever closed face reel, the release mech isn't as robust but they are just a reel, no anti reverse, no drag and very light.

Its 6m or 20ft in old money.

[@stevewilliams5428]

I'll not be buying a York book again. Unless you are fishing a match venue.... their fishery management and access is awful. HDDA are totally the opposite.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

I'm kind of with you on that one Steve. I will miss access to odd venues (Park View) but they're easily replaced on other books. I've got Leeds book already, will pick up Hull and maybe Mirfield or Doncaster as well this coming year.

[@stevewilliams5428]

@@HOOKEDFishingChannel It's a shame that for whatever reason York are poor. HDDA has some great traditional tench waters. I'm back to Bradford City book for the Swale and Shipton pond. It's a bit annoying walking past the HDDA pegs at Stamford and then trying to find a YDDA peg I can get in without drowning.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

@steve williams 😂

[@davesmith325]

York only have a short stretch on the left bank at Stamford bridge. Loads of good access on the right bank so long as your prepared to have a walk.I fish rivers all over Yorkshire on various club tickets and day tickets. York would be the last one I have up if I couldn't afford them all. Some cracking wild stretches of river.
