Yet another great video with pops ,makes my day coming home from work and seeing a fresh video to view

[@DjDolHaus86]

Hi Graeme, I used to fish competitively in the national leagues and the difference between how we fished in comps vs. how you approach a session is worlds apart, I'm not saying the match way makes for a more enjoyable session as it's pretty intense and stressful but it's what you've got to do to put a big weight together. You don't necessarily need fancy, expensive gear to succeed but you do need to be able to fish extremely accurately at times and spending a bit of money in the right areas can make that easier to do consistently. Accuracy is important, you want as many fish fighting for a place at your table and the smaller that table is, the more reckless they've got to be if they want to eat off of it. Having several feeding areas is fine if you know where they are but if you've been casting/feeding inaccurately then you're just reducing the chance that they'll be feeding on the area where the hook lies in wait. Speed is also important in a competition, everything needs to be to hand and ready to go when required, time spent with the hook out of the water is time wasted. You'll have hundreds of hooklengths and rigs tied up and ready to go, your bait prepared the night before, you'll be feeding the swim while landing a fish and the fish will be unhooked and dropped in the keepnet in a matter of seconds, a quick couple of checks to make sure everything's functional then back in the water ready for another one. If we're talking float fishing then you've got to be critical about float selection and how it's shotted, you can manipulate both how positive bite indication is and how the bait presents as it falls and once it's settled with simple changes. Simply cocking a random float with a random shot pattern and saying that'll do will catch some fish but if you want it to perform better then you've got to pay it some mind. What you're feeding and how you're feeding makes a huge amount of difference, little and often is generally the best bet in shallow water but you must pay attention to how the fish respond, in water over 7ft I would generally use small balls of groundbait to ensure it mostly reached the bottom where my hook bait was waiting. Corn, maggots, meat and bread will fall incredibly slowly which tends to make the fish move into the mid/upper layers to intercept, great if you're fishing up in the water but awful if you're hard on the bottom, a loose feed of hemp and pellet would get down there a lot faster. Where feeder fishing is concerned there is a whole mess of styles and approaches, there are also usually a whole bunch of stipulations regarding what you can and cannot use in matches so be careful with how you interpret information from the papers. For example there is a commonly hated 50cm hooklength rule on a lot of feeder comps, if you were to read of someones success in a competition where it said they used a 50cm hooklength on a running feeder to catch 200lb of carp in 5hrs then you might assume that this is the best way of doing it whereas if you asked the angler how they'd have like to have done it then they'd probably have opted for something way shorter and semi-fixed because it offers much greater efficiency and only fished long and running because those are the rules. Much the same as float fishing you've got to be able to read the conditions and adjust accordingly, every part of the rig from casting to hooking properties must be thought through and applied effectively. You've got to recast regularly and accurately to keep the food going in and keep them interested, even a big feeder is little more than a mouthful for a large single figure carp, if that's all thats out there then they're not going to hang around for long if the hookbait is missed on the first suck. In the summer on a well stocked commercial I'd start by putting 10-20 feeders full on the spot before attaching a hook link and then recast at least every 15mins regardless of activity. Using a far bank marker to aim for and the line clip on the reel makes accuracy a doddle, this said you will want fairly stout gear if you're fishing on the clip for carp as you can't let them run too far on the take. Bait is probably the biggest difference between you and a matchman. I know you love your cheap, simple stuff and there's no denying it will catch on its day but modern additives such as fishmeal make such a dramatic difference on commercial venues. Fish are raised on fishmeal pellets so they're basically a natural food source these days but that's not to say all pellets are great, understanding the different contents of a coarse pellet vs. carp pellets vs. krill pellets vs. trout pellets vs. halibut pellets (oil/protein content increasing from left to right) will help decide which is right for the occasion, size also plays a part but this is often dictated by the size of fish you wish to feed and how far you need to throw the freebies. It definitely takes some experimentation to find out which baits produce the best results, price isn't a guarantee of quality and you definitely shouldn't buy the most expensive gear just because it costs more but if you find something that gives you an edge then the price is essentially irrelevant. The main thing is getting the feeding right, you've got to give them enough to keep them interested but not give them so much that they can get fussy/choosey about what's on offer.

When you go to Watmore Fishery I always think that looks like such a big lake. I started fishing in the first lockdown, but only on small waters. Should I approach a large water the same way or is their a difference?

Every water is different.If going to Watmore I would try closer in as it is deep and drops away about a rod length out.

Hi Graham.

Hi, love the videos, just wondering what size line you use for carp fishing?

[@grahamclifton1483]

Please can you give advice on atmospheric pressure and fish behaviour? Very much enjoying your work. Best wishes Graham

[@DjDolHaus86]

Hi there, fish biologist here. Atmospheric conditions have no direct effect on coarse fish, there is hearsay that says fish come up in the water due to high air pressure affecting their swim bladder but this is not true as they can self regulate swim bladder pressure to suit whatever level they wish to sit at . The weather conditions typically associated with high pressure are clear skies, low wind and bright sunshine which will bring the fish higher in the water column simply because it's warm (fish are cold blooded and therefore rely on atmospheric temperature to define how well their internal processes run). They might not be right on the top if they see a lot of angling pressure or if the water is gin clear because they won't feel safe but they will be up in the water somewhere. The weather conditions typically associated with low pressure are clouds, rain and wind, during these conditions the water temperatures will be fairly even from top to bottom so the fish will have less reason to head to the surface layers. As such they will spend more time rooting around the bottom and being easier to catch using conventional tactics. In short, ignore the pressure and pay attention to the conditions.

[@TAFishing]

But every fish farmer I spoke to over the years says there is a definite link between pressures which they see when they feed their fish ?

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@TAFishing Years ago we tested several common species of coarse fish in a 6ft deep tank by sealing the top of the tank and using compressed air to alter the atmospheric pressure by both small (ie. as you'd get in real life) and large (beyond 2 atmospheres) amounts while isolating the variables (light levels and water temperature). The results of small changes were inconclusive, the fish showed no real change in behaviour or the common depths at which they were most commonly found. The reason for this is that cyprinids (ie. carp, roach, rudd, bream etc.) are physostomes meaning that their swim bladders are connected directly to the gastrointestinal tract (ie. the pipe from throat to arse) via a pneumatic valve. As such they can increase internal pressure by swallowing air and release excess pressure by burping in order to allow them to maintain neutral buoyancy at what ever height in the water they desire regardless of exterior pressure. When fishing in deep water at sea you may have noticed fish not being able to go back down because their swim bladders have expanded to extreme proportions on the way up, this is an example of the other type of swim bladder where there is no valve to the gut for relieving pressure quickly. These are what are known as physoclisti species. As previously mentioned there are more factors at play than just the pressure change in the real world. Anecdotal evidence is just that, without isolating the variables you can't draw a conclusion. Don't change your fishing plans based on the barometer (unless it's dropping like a stone in which case pack an umbrella), use your eyes and instincts to decide the best course of action when you get there. If you spend long enough looking they'll tell you how they want to be caught.

[@ronandanne1]

Often Graeme mentions that polarized glasses provide a better view of the water. Would a polarizing filter for the camera let us see what he is seeing? I don't know cameras so apologies if that's a dumb question. Congratulations on the 200K subscribers!!!! Wonderful video this week as always!

Hi Graham, I use Sweetcorn over a bed of hemp every time out, I am after silvers every trip, so far in this nice weather i have blanked 7 trips out of 8, I feel it is just a little early for silvers, usually i bag up on the method i use, spawning may be affecting my results so far. The nice weather may be giving us a false impression of the water that maybe is still a little cool for silvers, what do you think?

[@FishWithBish]

I have had the same problem Steve I tried maggots over fishery micro pellets and had some success but your right needs to be a little warmer

[@triumphsteve]

I do chuck in micro pellets with the hemp an so far ive had two Bream at just over 2lb each. I cook my own hemp with two table spoons of sugar, so far it has been a bit dire.

[@triumphsteve]

I am a little set in my ways, sweetcorn on a 14 kamazan animal, if they don't bite thats cool, when they do you can be guaranteed a better stamp of roach.

[@aaronditchfield781]

5 pints of maggots will sort that out and a maggot feeder or 4 kilo of micro pellet quarter kilo every half kilo every hour, over feeding always works for silvers

[@triumphsteve]

I was taught to match fish by a chap called Ian Heaps in the 70s not even he said chuck that amount of bait in. It must cost you a fortune just to catch a few roach, Me I use a tin of Green giant sweetcorn, a pint of hemp, a few hand full of pellets and a bit of groundbait, total cost per session about 3 quid. I won many matches in my time on the open circuit in the 80s, and usually i still bag up on the same tactics now.
