Nice video. Just been on a fishing weekend with my young grandson; we've both got a copy of your book, which is an excellent (and beautifully illustrated) read for all anglers of any experience. I find the section about knots especially useful as I have forgotten almost everything after being away from fishing for so long.

[@fishingtutorials]

Amazing! That’s so much for sharing and leaving this lovely comment :)

[@MrPotmonster]

What's the name of the book?

[@Obmelg]

@@MrPotmonster i mean, it's not like the book is LITERALLY IN THIS VIDEO AT 1:35

[@fishingtutorials]

The Simple Fishing Guidebook :)

[@ShehzadKhan-di3xp]

Can i take the fish with myself to my home which i catch on fish farms ?

[@emrhcyln1780]

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

[@LoveMeEmoxx]

As a woman, wanting to start a male dominated hobby can be intimidating. Watching Omi was encouraging, and helped to relieve some anxiety of finally stepping into a tackle shop. Would love to see more of this and your shared experience :)

[@fishingtutorials]

Amazing to hear that this video helped you! Omi and I will definitely be fishing more together this year. :)

[@Inthegroove2024]

I'd say its not just a female that feels anxiety entering a tackle shop, i havent fished for 25 years and am getting ready to try again, however that feeling of nervousness in the shops is all too apparent.

[@perez6588]

Me too 😂I don’t know anything about it but my kids wanted to go fishing so here I am watching fishing videos

[@thatbritmonke]

lol u got it dw

[@ethanpunto9222]

I always feel slightly anxious in the tackle shops too tbh, I always feel like they're silently judging my choices hahahaha

[@YoutubeOrganism]

11:22 the look on Omi’s face is exactly what fishing is about, the feeling reward and excitement after landing a nice fish Great videos Carl, very informative and easy to understand

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Im a keen carp fisherman now but we all started somewhere, most of us started at a young age float fishing and no matter how many big carp you catche there's just something magical, exciting and nostalgic about going back to your roots watching a float and catching the same fish you fished for as a kid, it never gets old.

[@leesagar8651]

As a viewer I love seeing Omi's evolution from a woman walking by you when you were taking a picture of your catch to having her own gear, knowing the species of fish etc. As a fisherman of 32 years I love seeing someone gain a passion for fishing.

[@martynromaine8518]

i have recently just come back to fishing after being away from it for 15 years and also selling all my tackle that i had. i brought a waggler rod and everything needed yesterday and i can't wait to get back on the bank. your videos are reminding me so much of what i have forgotten especially about the knotts. i'm hopefully going to get to go on my days off work next week

[@fishingtutorials]

Amazing to hear this! Good luck mate! :)

[@King_Bob_The_Third]

I remember my first time fishing, I used only one magot out of the pint I bought, I cast three times and then got a birds nest at the reel! Swore I'd never fish again. Then I hit my twenties and started carp fishing! Ah! Fond memories.😄

[@MAJIC2044]

I am from the USA so my first fishing experience was on a dock fishing for bluegill such good memories.

[@rosstwist6979]

Just ordered your book after my first fishing trip with my girlfriend and her grandad in Poland! Back in the UK now and looking forward to learning more.

[@fishingtutorials]

Awesome to hear! Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy it, have fun!!

[@philipwalton4877]

I started fishing long before this gent was born.. and I always learn something new from his videos. Especially from his Carp videos. I made the move from course to carp fishing 6 years ago and his advice has tripled my catch rate.

[@jjay1035]

Just wanted to say stay awesome Carl and Om! Your hard work and providing us such professional quality content for free is greatly appreciated as always. I wish you both nothing but the best! Cheers!

[@fishingtutorials]

Wow. Thanks so much. Happy you enjoy it! You too :)

[@danholland5334]

I watched one like this of yours 18 months ago. I'm now big into it, same as my kids. The stages of development through the fishing journey. From whips to tods and reels, into method feeder then for the big carp. I have a pb of 28lb 7oz my 11 year old girl 11lb 2oz mirror and my 7 year old boy a 12lb 6oz mirror. I even coach fishing with Keith Arthur at my local fishery charity. Carl again thank you to both you and Alex, your enthusiasm in your videos was addictive and the way you don't drop brands in your videos is admirable. Even when I'm old me and my kids can always go on a fishing trip.

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks so much. Reading this lovely comment was so nice! :)

[@danholland5334]

@@fishingtutorials I know I've said it to yourself a few times. But from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I have some brilliant memories already with my children and a hell of a lot more come from fishing. Something 18 months ago I had no interest in till my then 6 year old showed me a video of Carl and Alex and said, can we go fishing Dad.

[@fishingtutorials]

You're so welcome, wow. That's amazing... Fishing can be time well spent with loved ones. And can makes such amazing memories :)

[@soccerfiend03]

Thanks for the video, Carl and Omi! I am a super beginner, so these were some very good tips! I think I went back and binged the Tutorials videos that I had missed a couple of months back and this is my favorite one. Onward and upward!!

Yess! Glad to hear it John, thank you :) All the best with your fishing!

You live in such a beautiful part of the world. I really loved just seeing you get to the lake.

[@baldvale5418]

Have you ever noticed that when you use mixed maggots that you always catch more fish on the Red one's!

[@fishingtutorials]

Yep!

[@trevorcornes1056]

Great information for new people to fishing Carl . Perhaps it will also help people who fish already. Nice vid Carl 👍

Thanks so much for this video Carl! I’ve wanted to get in to fishing for so long and didn’t even know about a whip. Makes me feel more comfortable being able to get started on my own.

[@fishingtutorials]

Happy to hear this, you're welcome! Enjoy it! :)

[@philiptheman892]

This will be useful because I recently got my hands on a 3m telescopic whip, from the Angling Direct deal. I've been fishing for 9 months now, but with float rods and feeder rods, so really I had no clue what to do with the whip until i saw this video, cheers guys.

As usual a great video, I love Omi's hood too

[@nathandean9643]

I broke my hand before my fishing trip with buddies, and I was pole fishing with one hand while the others were fishing for carps with boilies etc. And it was surprisingly fun, I caught so many species I think I will actually be doing it for fun in the future

Hello Carl, Alex and Omi. Having watched this video I found your ‘Shop’ on-Line and bought your book ‘Simple Fishing Guidebook. Over the years I have read many fishing books, but this one grabbed me. It’s great. Well presented and very informative. My only criticism is the short section on Dropshot and Lure fishing, I have followed your advice and bought myself a Advanta Dropshot rod and a cheap real, some Braided line and size 6 dropshot hooks, followed your advice on tying knots and loading the spool. Ready for my first Dropshot session on my local tiny river (River Ouzel). Anyone reading this message should buy your book, I give you 12 out of 10 for it. I look forward to your next publication.

[@fishingtutorials]

Hello Graham! Thank you so much! That's so kind of you. And also thanks for the feedback! I have made two tutorials about how to dropshot, if they're any use? Here they are, in case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaPYq3t3jbiteas& kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3m2YoOKm8yAppY All the best, Carl

[@kubam1498]

I know nothing about fishing and find it all a bit intimidating, like you need to know a bit more about it than any beginner would . However the local association where running a have a try session for kids and I took along my 11 and 7 year old. The elder is a boy and has fished with his Polish grandparent over in Poland , but youngest is a girl and wanted to also go today. We used a whip and wagglers a box of maggots and caught loads of little fish maybe about 50!! Couldn’t believe it. Daughter loved it too. Have ordered your book and will do it again!

[@fishingtutorials]

Awesome!!! Good luck out there! :)

My Wife isn't very tall and was always complaining that the rod she was using when she began Waggler Fishing with me was too long and cumbersome. So I bought her a 9ft Browning CK Micro Waggler rod and she loves it. It' was inexpensive, is well made, and has handled Silvers & Tench up to 3½ lb with ease. She's getting the hang of striking, but the odd Roach has suddenly found themselves in a tree!😂
