JAMIE HUGHES' ADVANCED SHALLOW FISHING MASTERCLASS!

[@plreeve]

Hi Jamie, This has really helped Me and I have learnt a lot. The lake I fish had not been fishing well. I always fish on the bottom and sometimes sit there with No bites. The lake is around three feet at 5 meters out. My Grandson comes along with Me and We fish 5 meter elasticated whips using a number 5 elastic and a 0.16 main and a 0.07 hook link. Target is silver's. I made up some 12" 24" and 36" rigs. Started on bottom and nothing. I decided to lower the rig in slowly and about a foot off the bottom a lovely Roach ripped the elastic out. Tried the same again and another bite at the same place. I changed to the 24" rig and started to catch. Every fish self hooked. I have carried out some of your mods. Today was 17 degrees but this set up was still working. My Grandson was impressed too. We had some Roach, Rudd and Perch out. This video has really helped us. I now understand about finding what level they want to feed at. Many thanks.

Regarding the short dacron, why don't you use a short one for all your fishing.. Thanks.

[@kenwhibley2493]

Hi Jamie will you do a close video up of banding your maggots & casters

[@JohnSmith-uc1kf]

Absolutely spot on about the Ducks , I’ve seen it fishing for wild carp abroad, they happily feed together and when the birds spook or so it’s bye bye carp.

Just this week had a 18 common then beat it with a 20 pound mirror dartford lakes well chuffed

Good video Jamie but the only problem is getting hold of short kits as I have had an MTX3 pole since March I have tried to get hold of some but our tackle shops just can't get hold of any is there a reason why they are so hard to get hold of. Enjoyed video good info so tight lines .🎣🎣🎣⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@chrisharris1402]

I had to get a short number 3 section for an mtx4 , they all fit . A few short kits about but you need to search for them 😯

[@geofflukins8913]

Am I suspecting that Matrix are going to be bringing out some floats.

[@leafysfishing]

Would love to no if Jamie thinks fishing dead maggots is alrite.. iv always got maggots left over so I freeze them... I usually use them in my groundbait when I hit the canal for perch.. but would dead maggot be good for carp?

[@leafysfishing]

I learnt my on deck pole fishing from your video with Andy.. served me very well.. iv not done shallow fishing with my pole yet so will try this.. quite new to pole fishing.. I'm guessing all this stays the same with using pellet

[@iancampbell2028]

Hello Jamie and matrix just let you know i think your you tube been hacked , your video to win the seat box someone sending messages to say they have won I am one of them they are asking to text them on what's app or telegram them , I did what's app the number then saw alot of other people got similar messages just thought I inform you

[@fishingcarp2506]

Why Takle compagnys not bring out a verry short dacron connector with attach immediatly on elastics 1 piece. 😁

[@GBJulesKing]

Great video. So yesterday I shallow fished using as many if these tips as I could. And the most interesting ones were: I started with a conventional Dacron then switched to a Drennan bungee connector - result - missed bites went down I fished conventional maggot hooking & then switched to side hooked - result - missed bites reduced even more. Fish were up & down as my feeding with catapult needs working on, so with that randomised I deffo think these tricks do work.. Thanks Jamie

[@michaelgray1351]

Hi Matrix and Jamie, great video once again :). What would you do if your constantly plagued by tiny fish when fishing shallow either with maggots/casters or even pellets? The last time I went no matter what I tried it was a tiny fish every put in. Thanks keep up the great series :)

[@brianlavery9237]

Hello Jamie , this video of yours is brilliant , thnks , Im sure your tips will help me massively with my fishing 😎👍🥃

[@000Karesz000]

How long do you use the same rig, before changing either shorter or longer? If you have 3 different rigs, do you try them all out, checking how frequently you catch on each, or if you catch with the first one, you keep fishing with that one?

[@stephengeoghegan-doughty.5870]

Brilliant tutorial Jamie You left very little to the imagination and nothing that was difficult to understand Thanks for sharing, Take care, stay safe, and keep it lit.👍 my friend

[@christophersturman5382]

Great vid, really informative thank you, can you explain why you prefer the shorter hook lengths please

[@davemcevoy8122]

Many, many thanks to Jamie and Matrix for these videos. Since video has come along the information and tips available have gone through the roof. Previously when asked, everybody caught on bread on the deck! Thanks again Jamie and Matrix.

[@garryhudson8384]

Very informative and as always backed up with common sense. Teamed up with catchmore media could be even better.

[@dt1607]

Vermin? I'd be happy catching those all day long. Great lesson Jamie thanks

[@wizzerwin8914]

Thank you so much Jamie for those tips, I am paralysed due to a rugby accident and that tip about the banded caster is invaluable cheers

[@Adywebb123]

Brilliant video. Would love to see an explanation about shot. .2 .4g. Or 4x12. 4x14. What’s the difference ?🤷🤷

[@ifishmatrix]

There are a few pole float conversion sheet available on the internet, but to quickly and those examples - 4x12 = 0.2g 4x14 = 0.4g

[@raycharm8950]

great informative vid Jamie as always ,will be taking them tips to the Bankside

[@jasonridyardhome]

That was brilliant Jamie, thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Keepitsimple-m4p]

Oh for god sake ! A float is jus an indication. In India, China etc just a stick and a piece of twig does the job. We have gone too far with crap that companies want you to buy. I use any float and I do not use Dacron. Catch loads

[@mauricecooper6134]

Yea..too long windered...

[@davidmitchell7791]

Just love the technical side of fishing thanks Jamie. PS I have just finished trying 2&3 in hook lengths :)

[@craighigson3625]

Again matrix and the crew more of these please. Awesome video in depth.

[@mickyjohnson9397]

Fantastic video Jamie and matrix learnt a lot to try on my next sessions 🎣👍🏻

[@rickyp3946]

4 weeks too late

[@jamiem2693]

That’s the problem with fishing videos, by the time it’s filmed and edited the season has changed. Watch it again, beginning of next Summer mate.

[@topfuelteddy]

To be fair the weather is better now than most of the summer .

[@lukehorton2737]

Tbf ur keyboard warriors who cudnt catch a cold

[@WolfmanWoody]

When talking about the bristle and whether hollow or solid or whatever, it doesn't matter. We had an argument years ago on Fishingmagic and I believed what you have just said, a solid bristle puts up less resistance and I was proven wrong. It was proven to me by Mark Wintle, a cracking roach angler, that it's Archimedes' principle here, it's the volume (or weight) of water the bristle has to displace that determines how sensitive it is. So whether a fat hollow bristle, thin solid bristle, or even a nail, they will all be just as sensitive because all the fish has to pull under is the portion of tip that's above water. If they would all just require a no.6 shot to sink them then they are all just as sensitive.

[@paulsheridan291]

tbh wouldnt listen to this guy.matrix pellet waggler floats are crap tbh. sinking feeder mono fcking pants. hooks are wank . he dont want to talk about elastic because he using better than slik.

[@jamiem2693]

What about him being, arguably, the best commercial angler in the country? I don’t think he mentioned a matrix product in this video by the way?

[@jamiem2693]

That doesn’t make sense. A thin solid bristle is less to displace than a thicker hollow bristle. A nail, being made of steel, obviously, would sink of its own weight?

[@paulsheridan291]

@@jamiem2693 he has promoted products whilst using others. He was sponsored and pushed products by spotted fin while using sonubaits. He promoted the worst diving waggler on the market while using custom .

@@paulsheridan291 he turned up at my local open and obliterated the 6 hour venue record in 3 hours. I was there and fished well, caught 57lb, he had 336lb. The bloke is, in angling terms, a genius. Nice guy too. Like all of us, he has a living to make.

another brill video from the master thanks Matrix team

you just added 3 in when you altered the lash

[@markalexwhite]

Shalla fishing :-)

[@allanwithers8509]

Learnt a lot from that. And a lot for me to rethink. Thanks Jamie.

Good video the micro dacron is a good idea.

And off it 😅

Brilliant tips Jamie thank you

[@Daz0566]

This video shows you why he is the best out there.

[@stuartbromley5328]

my dacron connecter is to long so thanks Jamie will get the tiny ones to use .plus my hook lengths need to be shorter

[@paulsheridan291]

turn the bead around connect direct to elastic no need for dacron

[@emmatelford5784]

thenks jamie for any tips !

[@Lfc-kd2kr]

Wouldn’t it be more productive to fish in open water than to ie Lilly pads as they hold fish and that not given a good idea to fish shallow

[@ifishmatrix]

I think you answered your own question. The reason jamie fished up to the lily pads is because they hold a lot more fish that picking a spot in open water.

[@Lfc-kd2kr]

@@ifishmatrix but what if I was fishing in open waters what would be his approach in that situation

[@terrystokley2968]

Excellent film from Matrix and a lesson from the best in the business.

Good tuition Jamie. Thanks.

[@ifishmatrix]

Glad it was helpful!

[@asherb8460]

Hi Jamie, great video mate. What shots are you using on your rigs that allow them to move freely?

[@Ynwa50]

What get me is when these videos get done they seem to have a feature in front of them not all peg have these also if fishing on the claypit at Weston pool it’s mainly shallow fishing so it’s gunna be easy to catch them

[@ifishmatrix]

Jamie can only catch on a flyer 😂

[@Ynwa50]

@@ifishmatrix shame like to see the start of shallow fishing from the start instead of have them there already in open water
