How To Go Whip Fishing | Freshwater Fishing Gear For Beginners | Get Fishing

[@martintither8867]

I've been a fair weather angler for 50+ years and this is an excellent video. Clear, direct and using language we can all understand. Cracking offers too.

[@GetFishingTV]

Hi Martin, Thanks for the kind words. We wanted to take out a lot of the "fishing jargon", to make it simpler for anyone to get into angling, so your feedback is brilliant! Thank again, Jimmy :)

[@Asukakiss]

This is amazing. My 8 year old watched this and we are gonna get this whip. Cheers mate

Getting back into fishing as I fished with my Dad, when I was young and caught virtually nothing the Rivers were filthy in those days. Started again with a school friend cycled and used a plastic sheet to cover from the rain and loved it, but started Saturday work around 14/15 it has almost impossible to find the time since. Introduced both Daughters and Grandchildren to fishing and they loved it. Still working now at 60 but know I need to make the time.

[@GetFishingTV]

Hi Steve, I'm hoping to produce some videos later on in the year to show how you can just go fishing for an hour or two and have some success. I think we all live such busy lives these days, it can be hard to find some time for ourselves. But stick with us and I hope I can help you out. All the best, Jimmy

[@GetFishingTV]

Congratulations, Steve, you have won a Get Fishing book by Allan Sefton. If you send me an email: [e-mail] with your address, we can get one sent out to you. Thanks for checking out the videos and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Jimmy

[@realjimmywillis]

Thank you for all the positive feedback so far. I can't wait to get out in the next few weeks to film the second video. Don't forget to subscribe to keep up-to-date!

[@roccoanderson2172]

Omg thank you so much i had no idea how to attach the pre wound rig onto the whole at the end

[@paulnaude7161]

My boys love going fishing but we are all beginners and need all the help we can get. Would love to get a copy of the books.

[@GetFishingTV]

Hi Paul, We have entered you into the giveaway, so hopefully, you can win a book. Here's some more info on the Get Fishing book by Allan Sefton: www.getfishing.org.uk/get-fishing-guide-coarse-sea-fly-fishing-allan-sefton/ Best of luck, Jimmy

Great video and the whip set up deal is amazing. I used to fish lakes, river and sea a lot in my youth both on my own and with my dad. My 9yr old son has now expressed great interest in starting fishing after having a go at a lake while on holiday last year, maybe catching a 6lb carp on loan equipment helped 😁

[@GetFishingTV]

Hi Rob, I also started fishing as a kid with my Dad in lakes, rivers and the sea. I'm so happy to hear that your son wants to get into our wonderful sport. I hope to see you out on the bank soon. Jimmy

[@Joe-zh5tl]

I'm getting into fishing to improve my health and wellbeing by being active in nature whilst learning new skills, following in the footsteps of my grandfather. I am planning to pass the same skills on to my children and support the evolution of the waterways through licence fees.

[@GetFishingTV]

Hi Joe, It's fantastic to hear that you are following in the footsteps of your grandfather. Thanks for checking out the video, Jimmy

[@colinlinsell7189]

Great video. Very clear and simple. Never used a whip before. In fact I haven't coarse fished for many years due to work and ill healtlh. Your video has definitely wetter my appetite to have a go. So thank you.

[@bowbutter7608]

Just started fishing again thanks very much appreciated 🎣👍

[@jamesmcrory3419]

I did a little fishing about 25 years ago, want to get into it again as it looks good for peace of mind and mental health, need something simple as I do not know anything about setting everything up, buying a whip set

[@leecalderwood4803]

This was brilliant!!! My daughter is 8 years old and has really got into fishing programmes and has started showing in interest in learning how to fish 🎣. I’ve fished twice in my life so I really don’t know what to do! But I’m very keen to share this activity with her and learn as we go together. This video was really helpful and I will definitely be watching more. Thanks so much! :)

[@seanirishterrier6588]

Thank you, no one has ever showed me how to set up my whip. I’m getting back into fishing after a long term illness & multiple disabilities

[@getinnotimetoexplain]

Hey there. Any other suggestions for a beginners pack? The links don’t seem to work anymore

[@barrybell4879]

Just about to start my two kids off fishing as I did it 20+ years ago and never even knew about whips. Great idea and nice a cheap, just incase they don't take to it. Time to dust off my old gear

[@GetFishingTV]

Best of luck Barry. If you need any help, just let us know. Jimmy :)

[@barrybell4879]

@@GetFishingTV cheers. We are booked in at York on the 21st March for the session at pool bridge. Not told the kids yet as it's going to be a surprise

[@GetFishingTV]

@@barrybell4879 This is great news, Barry. Let us know how you get on :)

[@martinthepom]

Nice work mate

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks Martin, Jimmy

[@philipridout2274]

Great video, clear & concise. My 7 year old daughter is asking to go fishing. Will we need a rod licence? Gov website says no, but if I'm with her will they expect me to to have a licence?

[@philipridout2274]

To be clear we would have one rod between us, and she would be fishing (though I'd probably have to help her!)

[@GetFishingTV]

@@philipridout2274 if you're fishing too, you would need one.

[@wesleynewton1122]

How do i set up my pole winder for whip fishing

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

One item that all beginner fishing videos miss out is how to handle fish - preferably with wetted hands , and do not grip the fish hard , point - point the vulnerable parts -ie the gill filaments , and position of the vital organs . Warm weather - don't use a keepnet as water temperature in margins may be too high - tight lines to all anglers - oh - forgot , if any new to angling don't like the idea of maggots , then you could explain about bread /wheat/sweetcorn as alternatives to wriggly thingies .

[@christurner2507]

great video am making a comeback to fishing needed an update thanks

[@John-xs7wl]

Is there a reason why I only ever hear about fishing whips from British folk? I can't even find a place to buy a whip where I live in the US. Even searching Amazon for "fishing whip" brings me zero results. I know this sound silly but, does whip fishing not work over here or something?

[@tinacox248]

Hi just found your KZbin video . Very informative. I am just starting out (56 years old !!! ). Something to do in lockdown ! And I am hooked ! Having problems with disgorging ! I am not squeamish it’s just I can’t do it... all fingers and thumbs !! Any tips please

[@Flapdoodle100]

Very informative video, thanks

[@thomaskenna1]

Hi Guys I've fished for years as a kid had a great buildup of gear which unfortunately was robbed how ever I've started to build back up and do my best to fix older stuff I had. My neighbour loaned me a 6m fix line whip telescopic. Just can't afford to replace my pole😂😅 how ever I'm like a child with it I've never used one and am genuinely struggling to land fish. How do I feed it back should I be collapsing it as I'm bringing them in. Should I generally avoid bigger fish.... Thanks in advance

[@ianhoughton1134]

How do you reduce length of rig to allow you to bring fish in to hand ?

[@barrysimkins3668]

I am in my 70s and still love fishing

[@GetFishingTV]

Great to hear Barry! What sort of fishing do you like? Jimmy

[@tonycolby8569]

This has been a great video - we are going fishing for the first time and this has helped us out enormously. A shout out to Yately Angling Centre who have been great and set us up with a whip and all the other bits we need.

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

An update vid with new links would be appreciated

[@stephenstocks1074]

How about plumbing the swim ?

[@wesleynewton1122]

The reason Iam getting back into is because I want to improve my whip fishing

[@thediligentdungbeetle8116]

My little brother is starting to get into fishing because I am but he hasn't really caught any fish yet and he's wondering what fish can he catch on maggots thank you from my little brother

Good luck Nigel, let us know if you need any help or advice. Jimmy :)

[@thepokemew3588]

Had mental health problems, need to get back out on the bank

[@GetFishingTV]

Thanks for checking out the video. Fishing has many benefits for your physical and mental health. Fishing requires lots of focus and awareness and this takes your mind off internal conflict and stress, similar to meditation. As a result, it helps to reduce anxiety, fight off depression, and promote relaxation. I know it does me a lot of good after a stressful week. All the best, Jimmy
