Fishing an Unknown Venue - Beginners Guide to Bagging Up!

[@Walsallgrower]

Great day out on a new venue, it doesn't come much better than that Den...👌

[@andypeutherer4218]

Almost like shooting Ados back in the day, marvelous easy sport, like grouse 😀

[@dougpetty6854]

Your water craft is excellent Den, to do that well on a venue you haven’t fished before must have made you happy, potentially a fantastic match stretch. Those fish at that size are power to weight as hard fighting as anything... who says carp don’t fight. Great video and session 👍

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Doug. I was just watching Frank's latest video when this came in. I love the banter you two have on the bank mate.

[@dougpetty6854]

It’s not banter Den its real ha ha ha... we have a very similar sense of humour and laugh at each other a lot, I’m lucky we hit it off after a chance meeting along the bank 😊 ATB Doug 👍

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Clive. It was a mega session wasn't it.😁😁👍👍

[@jonathanluce9130]

That's ridiculous, you cleaned up there, well done 😂

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Jonathan. It really was ridiculous wasn't it. And its never been stocked.

[@RamosOutdoors]

I really admire this style of fishing. It's very different from here in the US. It looks way more organized and methodical yet looks really relaxing.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thank you. It is nice to sit quietly, surrounded by nature and catch a few fish.

[@ralfmuentnich]

Great vid once more.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Ralf.

[@peterdobrijevic3107]

Well done Den. A real belting days fishing. Peter

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Peter. It certainly was, but I had to give up after 3 hours because my Arthritis was hurting so much.

[@peterdobrijevic3107]

@FishingwithDen Snap, had both hands operated on. The left hand only a few weeks ago, can't wait to get back fishing. Thanks Den keep'um coming

[@davidleigh2573]

Nice video and great fishing. Wheat! I remember fishing wheat on the stick float on the upper River Trent. It always produced the bigger Roach.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks David. I remember that too mate. In fact, I think I'll do a video on Stick Float fishing sometime soon.

[@michaelmorgan6012]

Nice one den 😊

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Michael.

[@pedrobandino5391]

Good video Den, always interesting when you try a new lake. Cracking fish

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Pedro. Those were the hardest fighting Carp I have ever caught. I had to edit so much out of each fight to get the video to a reasonable length.

[@dannydemaet4846]

well explained Den! 👍👍🐟👋

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Danny.

[@Offcut55]

Great vid once more. We went to a venue that 2 of us had never fished before and we were told that meat is a good bait. I was using a small cube and getting Carp of around 5 to 8 ib and no little fish at all. My mate was in the next peg and was only catching small roach and bream but the bait was huge compared to mine. I suggested he try with smaller which had been at the start and went bigger to try and put them off but they would not have it all.

[@FishingwithDen]

That's fishing for you Phill.😁😁👍👍

[@Offcut55]

@@FishingwithDen Sure is, it must be my mate as we fished Thrapston resy and was next to each other same setup in every way. I caught Roach he caught Bream, so we swapped over I still caught roach and him bream?

[@nevillebrianmcmaster5918]

Thank you great information and advice and video What did hook bait did start off with Thank you very much

[@FishingwithDen]

You are welcome Neville. I started on Corn and never changed because the fish were really mopping it up.

[@keithhallam5473]

It would interesting to see what a match weight would be Den 👍🎣

[@FishingwithDen]

Yep. That could be a great video Keith.

[@GLK-London]

Are there any other species to catch where you live Den? I read that carp are a huge invasive problem in Australia and USA. So much so I saw a video where they are netting them and turning them into compost on an industrial scale!

[@FishingwithDen]

Not as far as European species go mate. There are some Bass and Mullet, plus, if you like Eels, there are loads of them. Further south (approx 700 miles) there are Roach and Tench, which I hope to be catching in the new year. As for invasive carp, the Australians have been trying to get rid of them for years, but it's a losing proposition. The compost company you are talking about does harvest Carp, but again, it makes absolutely no difference. Where I live in New South Wales, you are allowed to return Carp alive, so I'm in a UK anglers paradise.

Wat Alice dat thanks Den

[@martijnfransen9933]

Dam spelling checker I ment to say “what a nice day, thanks Den”

[@kurtlucas8638]

Where abouts in the country is the venue please ?

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Kurt. It's in New South Wales Australia.

[@barbaraneville5036]

Is this going to be a new match venue then Den ?

[@FishingwithDen]

We are certainly hoping so Barbara. Nice to hear from you, by the way.

[@barbaraneville5036]

@@FishingwithDen Winter coming less time on the bank but more time watching youtube fishing vlogs for tips Den 🙂 If you have matches on this new venue it will be extra keepnets or two hourly weigh ins

[@FishingwithDen]

@@barbaraneville5036 Based upon what you didn't see after the end of the video, this could be at least 4 keepnets Barbara.

[@barbaraneville5036]

@@FishingwithDen I worked on your estimate for an hour times it by 4 at about 60 lb net limit

@@barbaraneville5036 Its a lot isn't it. Good job I wasn't using a keepnet that day.😁😁👍👍
