FLOAT FISHING FOR BARBEL

[@davidgreenwood7387]

Looks beautiful and a lovely swim on the River Severn. Thank you for the vid , Danny and a big hello to Gary👍🎣

[@Boxersboy-um1fd]

Superb video as usual Danny - lovely to see the education in resting fish, especially for beginners. Regardless of the species (Barbel and Pike particularly), the fish has earned their stripes in the battle - they need to be looked after and when you see a good fish swim off strongly after you have landed and unhooked it, having given it a good rest, it's a satisfying scene to behold and one every true angler is proud of.

[@karlpearson8032]

Awesome footage again Danny, catching fish on your chosen methods all good, baits,tackle and techniques easily explained so anyone could go fishing for barbel, a great session see you on the next one mate.

[@ZerkaloAngling]

You have absolutely nailed that peg, what I'd call a red letter day. Fantastic to see!

[@BlackCountryPiker]

Brilliant session danny, that float set up doing the business

[@craigchallinor5749]

Not river fished for way to long I've found your videos inspiring and very informative.. Im starting my journey on my nearby Ribble but I'm definitely going to wander down the Severn. Keep up the great work Danny 👌👌👏👏👏

[@peterfitzgerald5491]

Great video Danny. Thought the chap fishing downstream of you was a bit close.

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Hes my uncle mate he was fishing above but moved down its fine ;)

[@peterfitzgerald5491]

That's OK then. Family are different. Thought you were being a bit too understanding 🤣

[@glentuck7043]

great vlog danny,sadly the barbel numbers in my local river wensum have declined to nearly nothing,i think a trip to the seven is on the cards and would love to catch one on the float.

[@kemalhussein6106]

What an awesome session Danny well done mate!

[@grahamgfm]

Good to see you still going strong. Really great to see the older style techniques going strong and working. Too many poles in use for my liking. I,m mostly carping these days but stiil check in with you. In fact apart from the Carping channels yours is the only one I watch.

[@matthewgwatkin847]

hi Danny . just subscribed. Great videos mate. very informative and you have great fish care. You come across as a genuinely nice fella who just loves fishing and appreciates what it's all about..

[@jorvikangler]

There's something special about taking barbel, or any fish, on float. One problem I've found using those Quick Snap Swivels is that the rubber can be pushed up if the barbel run under a snag leaving the possibility of the hook length falling off. Lucky for me it's only fallen off when the fish is in the net, so far.

[@craneyc993]

As always another great video cor beat em look forward to watching them usually more than once cheers matey

[@crvenables9154]

Superb mate.

[@daz3434]

Nice video mate Sydney Avenue fished there last year had a fair few out. Most popular peg on that stretch was fishing a couple of pegs down from there.

[@richardrouse1873]

Top video again Danny proper days fishing 🎣 catching proper fish on the float 👍🏻better than your commercials any day well done 😎

Cheers matey

[@nobbyclarke6051]

It’s not all about how big they are , lovely fight and great fish care 👏🏻

[@paulgarner6517]

Cracking video Danny and most certainly the best way to catch them. I use a centrepin whenever possible it's great fun . 🎣🎣

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Funny you mention that lol 😆 hlad enjoyed vid mate might be a centrpin one on way although depends if get this swim it's popular

[@neilhalley8897]

Great session and some nice fish.

[@simonbealey3080]

Hi Danny fantastic video mate definitely don't think you can beat catching barbel on the float and cracking job you done of it hope you manage a few few more days on the float we'll done mate keep up good work👍

[@allanmarshall4582]

Had a session, at my local commercial lake Tuesday. Managed 3 barbel, best one 6 pound. Other 2 about 2 pound plus. Gosh do they fight. Float on bread paste, with cheese additive spray.

[@nobbyclarke6051]

Best way to catch them ,on the stick and pin imo, nothing quite like it , I’m out on the rivers Ouse tomorrow Dan so catch blog once home 👍🏻

[@karlwatkins2331]

Nice blog again danny lad enjoyed watching you catching them barbel mate still ain't been out for a go at them yet got all the tackle for them just waiting for my mate to take me 🎣👊💯💥👍

[@paulisherwood8465]

Looked amazing day that Danny . I’m going in the morning with Gary Williams, I’ve got some meat and hemp, along with loads of maggots and pellets hopefully christen my new 12 korum quiver. One will do tight lines

[@mulletmanpete]

Lovely stuff Danny. Down here in Cornwall we don't have coarse fish in our river - if we had barbel and chub I'd be all over it. But for 40 years my passion has been mullet and I was wondering if you'd ever fished for them? I'm sure you would love it, challenging to catch and fight bloody hard.

[@paulrichards2350]

Fantastic video Danny, looked a lovely setting, some nice fish and I hope you didn’t get in too much trouble mate 😂👍🏻🦈

[@MancunianDrummer4hire]

Great channel mate. You make me wanna go fishing!

[@nobbyclarke6051]

Fantastic Danny , really enjoyed that mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stevewalker8823]

I go for a week in September usually and stay at that house opposite where you were, fishing off those steps opposite. P b from there 10lb 12oz. Small world lol

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Do you know how to book it ;)

[@stevewalker8823]

@@DannysAnglingBlog it's a b&b stay there and fish

[@leescoey]

i just watched your other vid where you forgot your float rod and thought you should of been in the peg at the top of the island great session fished there years ago is it still day ticket ? also there is another great swim like that with an island fast and furious inbetween bewdley and bridgnorth i think its called pitts island but thats on baa card there is also a small campsite behind there so good for a few days if you aint from round there

[@stuartbrookes6030]

Great video as usual Danny. Only thing I would say is don’t take tins on the bank, for litter reduction and safer to prepare the meat at home. Had a friend who had a nasty accident with a tin on the bank so much safer at home. Lots of people watch your blog so it would be an important message to get across As I said earlier great blog and what a days fishing. Tight lines 👍🏻

[@GazzasReef]

Awesome Danny we spoke a lot about this swim. Now I need to try it haha. I fished this peg a few times with not much joy, but I seen so many people hammer them on the float. I’ll be trying this soon

[@dragonelite4394]

where is it?

[@andrewthorn3928]

Great Video Danny, is this a BAA Stretch of water, or a Free town stretch

[@stevanfarley6652]

Great video Danny

[@stevendraper1253]

Great angling I'm not telling you how to fish but on Sydney avenue tiny bits of meat on your hook and casters get you doubles

[@johnmanton5018]

Hi Dan, I am fairly new to fishing, been considering buying a new all round float rod for river fishing (trent) and fishing on commercials and was considering the 12 foot glide rod. Interested on your thoughts and why and whether you would choose the 12/14 foot rod over the straight 12? Keep up the good work. Cheers John

[@johnowen4888]

Great video, especially like the rig explanation. I do hope you will use the Glide with a centrepin at some point

[@robmcmurrough1897]

That's literally what I about to do! Glad that I'm not the only one to have this thought. Guess I'll have to pull the trigger on it now 😅

[@martinweaverallroundangling]

If you want Barbel on the float that's the peg to be on, had my first float caught barbel on that peg. A very prolific swim when on form you can have 20 plus fish out in a day.

[@southcoastangler]

Great video again mate! Do you need a ticket to fish across the Severn?

[@raymitchell4220]

Brilliant Danny, that's the only way to get them, in a river, the only barbel I've caught have been in commercial ponds, I haven't had the opportunity in a river, it doesn't seem right, they don't look as good as they should in running water. Take care, Norfolk Ray

[@nobbyclarke6051]

Yes it is Dan , they feel confident with cloud cover .

[@garywilliamsandmitsy]

Aww love um. Top dangling ar kid 😊

[@bizbizley]

At last some proper Barbel fishing. I can’t abide these dudes who fish for Barbel like they do for carp. Bah. Just hold the bait back and literally inch it through. You don’t need to watch the float once it’s travelling properly through your swim, just watch your rod tip…On a good day you’ll find Chub at the front of the swim and Barbel at the end. On a very good day you’ll empty it. Hemp hemp hemp, you put far too much meat in I think, that’s why the Barbel were small. But at least you hit a ‘shoal’ not a ‘fish’. A cracking video all in all. 👏👏👏

[@adrianlingard1910]

Proper method envy!

[@Berealwith]

Hi Danny another cracking video, wink wink is that luncheon meat the best type hahahaha.

[@martinweaverallroundangling]

Whe you hit a double on there you won't move it mate, it'll feel like you've hooked a breeze block against that flow and the rod will feel futile.

[@nobbyclarke6051]

They use the current to their advantage mate , they are masters at it .

[@iansadowski468]

What size reel Danny was you using

[@DannysAnglingBlog]

Think it was a 3500 if remeber rightly
