Whenever you leave the water, remember to Check Clean Dry!
Check your gear after leaving the water for mud, aquatic animals or plant material. Remove anything you find and leave it at the site.
Clean everything thoroughly as soon as you can, paying attention to nets, waders, and areas that are damp and hard to access. Use hot water if possible.
Dry everything for as long as possible before using elsewhere as some invasive plants and animals can survive for two weeks in damp conditions.
You can also check out: www.getfishing.org.uk/ for more information and to find an event near you.
A big thank you to Longbridge lake for letting us film this video.
No excuses, get out there, get fishing - brought to you by the Angling Trust.

Excellent for an oldy like me who is now retired and never fished

[@him050]

I'm baffled this video only has 33k views. There is no assumed knowledge, you've explained absolutely everything in perfect detail, and I haven't left the video having to search for explanations of things you've glossed over (like I have on a lot of other videos).

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

I've been fishing a little while now but would still consider myself a novice I just love casting out and catching a fish!

[@brianmarywade6554]

Took my 10 year old grandson fishing for the first time. He caught and lost a carp on his first cast. Caught three more, he is now hooked. Great video, I have been away from the water for such a long time and found your advice invaluable.

[@fredvanlammeren676]

Starting finishing as I am going into pension. Very nice and clear instruction. Thank for the info.

[@barbarahaskins2278]

Thank you for all this new information. Yes, I'm new person in fishing since last year.

[@patriciabailey9792]

Great video. Haven’t fished for 20 years so a great reminder of the basics. I’m looking forward to getting back out there. Thanks

[@fidsta30]

Really enjoy your delivery it’s refreshing as trying to get my 10 yr old out fishing and as I’ve not fished for many years, your instruction is very clear for the novice without being patronising!

[@GetFishingTV]

Good luck!

[@davidhoult4653]

Getting back into it aged 76 . Relaxing hobby. Years since I did it. Thanks for vids and clear teaching. 👍🤝😁

[@davidhoult4653]

Great vid. Well good tutor. Brilliant .👍👏

[@dannylong6088]

A great intro for me and boys that had a taster day in the summer at Henfold Lakes, Surrey. Something we can do as a family and are really enjoying it. The kit would be amazing to help us with the setup

[@mickford2873]

great little videos

[@patrickvinas6524]

Merci pour la belle video. J’ai beaucoups appris!

[@colinadgie6043]

I would love to take up fishing again. You can really get back to nature and appreciate all it has to offer. Just concentrating on your float is a great way to clear your mind which helps you to relax, something I think is important with the troubles of COVID and the mental Heath issues that we are hearing about. Just a comment about safety when new to casting. Always check your surroundings, especially over head. Electricity cables are extremely dangerous if over head with carbon rods etc. Stay safe and tight lines !

[@derekirelandsirsmokepotalo1152]

A great video pal very educational. Well explained and even as I have been fishing for 2 year's now mostly lure fishing but have only fished with float a handful of times and always took me a while to get the depth right but not anymore I always wondered what the lead weight with the loop on top was for lol not anymore thanks again Top video pal well done.

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks for checking it out. If you need any more help, do hit us up any time :)

[@heraldmangyan6174]

*These are easy to use and highly visible **enjoyable.fishing** recommend they are extremely valuable for going from a dead drift set up to a float setup. They save time and you don't have to re-tie everything to add a float to your presentation.*

[@billmchenry9651]

I loved the video it has given me the push I needed to get back in to angling. I am from an age where we learnt from Mr Crabtree cartoons and then trial and error. I would love to win the Angling Direct pack so that I can take my grandson fishing so that he gets the same joy from the sport that I did.

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks for the lovely feedback, Bill, it's much appreciated. Jimmy :)

[@simonmiller4980]

interesting vid - thanks... I may yet give it a go :-)

[@realjimmywillis]

Thanks for checking out the video. If you've got any questions, please do ask away as I'm happy to help. :)

[@girl_piker5625]

👌🏻great video keep it up 😁🎣🐟🐟

[@corey9252]

Absolutely amazing video, I was so lost before but now I am getting it, just one question, how do I know how much line to let off when setting up my rod and where to to tie my waggler/how far up the line?, thanks!

[@swickymindencov]

Great video. My beginner kit doesn't include hooks to nylon, just hooks. Can I just knot the hook onto the main line?

[@mrlollipop7132]

Hi, first of all great video for beginners like me! I'm shortly moving from the south coast where I started shoreline fishing. As I'm moving back to the Midlands and there aren't many beaches around and as I wanted to keep fishing, thought I would go freshwater fishing. Anyway, the Angling Direct offer is probably no longer available because of the video date, but you never know??

[@jasonwetton3265]

What a great video,just started out with my son, we have been twice and was wondering why we have caught anything, would be great to win the gear so we can start doing it properly and hopefully start catching.

[@ChrisConnop]

Great video, thanks. I would love to win this kit. I have recently bought my son a whip to start fishing and this would be a great 'next step' for him.

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks for the nice feedback, Christopher. You have been entered into the competition.

[@ChrisConnop]

@@GetFishingTV Excellent, thank you :-)

[@johngoulsbra3084]

hello everyone I just got a plastic frame feeder how do I put it onto to the line

[@lfanmMurphy]

I’ve tried to find this no 1 kit mentioned in the video. Doesn’t look like the sell it anymore. Would love a recommendation for starter kit.

[@peteryoung7024]

I would like to win the kit, my son took me fishing on a one day permit a few weeks ago lending me a rod and reel for he day and I loved it. I do have more spare time now so would like to take up fishing. Cheers Pete

[@realjimmywillis]

We're happy to have joined us in the world of angling, Peter; I'm sure you will love it! You have been entered into the draw. Jimmy :)

[@alfiedunn4594]

I’ve got long Covid and have had to retire so would like to go fishing

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

What can I keep maggots in because I don't have any maize meal

[@Gorion_79]

Would love to win this as looking to take my kids fishing. Not been for years since my teens. Both kids love being outdoors and this would be prefect.

[@_-Spoons-_]

Are you still doing any float fishing Jimmy?

[@petebrown6439]

Hey would love to win the gear, haven't fished for years and would love to get back into it, also would of liked more time spent on how to keep the float in place with shot and moving it to adjust the length

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks for checking it out Pete, we will do some more videos on keeping the float in place. Jimmy :)

[@catgoth1983]

Hi I’d love to win, I’ve taken my son a few time’s recently and we use very basic set up. Thanks for the tips!

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks, Claire, you have been entered into the competition :)

[@Sandra-pf6jx]

How to set up a float???

[@jacksimpson8560]

Any events near Staffordshire

[@terrymcdermott8412]

I do find it funny when the “carp official” states “don’t use a towel, it’s an old skool method”. Well if your about the welfare don’t stick a hook in its lips 🤷‍♀️
