That was by far the most detailed completely consuming match and tactical breakdown I’ve ever had the privilege to watch . I don’t match fish these days I just watch all disciplines of angling to try and gain knowledge…. I’ve learned more in the time watching that than I have in years . It’s been mind blowing!!!👍👍👍thank you

[@michaelbarnes3015]

Hi Matt I am nearly 80years old but me and my wife loved this video a class act pal take care love from Sheffield 🎣🎣

[@MidlandAngler]

Fully agree.. it was levels above

[@34136TS]

Simply the best presenter on YT! Luvs ya fella, top bloke!

[@richardsadler7158]

I'm the secretary of a small (ish) club in Surrey and we put a lot of focus on a scheme called let's go fishing. This is based on getting young people into fishing where we as a club buy them a small set up and have coaches teach during the holidays. These videos are great to refer to on the days as they hold lots of information which helps explain certain things. Another great video Matt 👍

[@garethevans6192]

Nice to see Matt go through the gears and into beast bagging mode ! Top class!!

[@jonas_perchfishing9679]

[@bigndaftfishing]

[@deanstones6773]

Brilliant & loads of info 👍👍👍

[@geoffbacon69]

Fishing machine 👍 class, above the rest without a doubt slide on brother 👍

[@roberthaigh2612]

Brilliant feature Matt. Great explanations. Enjoyed watching your match progress. Excellent camera angles. Good to see the float go under. Love the banter. More please.

[@TackleguruTV]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🙌

[@thecrapangler]

Great Video. Makins Lake 5 a few years back you could never predict what the next fish would be. Great Fun. Slide on.

[@swisstony662]

Really enjoyed that Matt's like a machine 5 hrs of that I'd be knackered

[@Deans8930]

Great result and a great watch also :) , well done matt that short rig would be perfect for my local catching f1s skimmers and crucians 👌. Look forward to the next one.

[@garryhudson8384]

Like a thoroughbred race horse. Simply class.

[@jamesrich1803]

Acorn Fishery, awesome silvers fishing. Loved this video, my favourite type of content

[@katieiveson4749]

Hi Matt Brilliant video and what a result. We take the kids to a selection of venues around our home . They are only just starting and the easier the better to get them into the sport . Well done again and we are looking forward to more videos 👌

[@adamstoneangling3411]

Another brilliant video, very well fished Matt, simply the master at work, kept it simple and won!Would love these rigs for my local venue where there is lots of brown goldfish and proper goldfish, similar to Messingham with deep holes and shelves but you catch loads shallow in summer. Keep up the great work Guru! Adam.

[@roberthaigh2612]

These rugs would undoubtedly work well at Tunnel Barn which is probably my favourite commercial. I love fishing maggot up and down as you did today. You clearly outlined the importance of slopes, correct depths and accurate feeding. Thank you.

[@craigbirchall3748]

Messingham Sands is a great venue I fish as a day ticket. I love fishing for just a mixed bag of fish. I love to see the greats like yourself fish local lakes helps boost the economy and helps put places on the maps so others can have a good day's fishing.

[@Scootjescoot]

Nice watching this Guru video's, great fishing Matt.

[@bobfor4868]

Best live match video I've seen for ages.

[@TackleguruTV]

Wow, thanks! 🙌🎉

[@markboyer4221]

Superb video.. brilliant insight on swim management.. 👍👍👏👏

[@steveknowles9772]

Great video, great result well done Matt.

[@colincowley5890]

A great watch, loved it, more please 🙂⭐️🐟

[@TackleguruTV]

More to come very soon! Who else do you want to see on the box? 🤔🎣

[@johnrowbotham5054]

My fav place is the Bridgewater in Manchester. But now living in Australia, we catch a lot of small carp using those kind of tactics. Love the rigs to come down under. Top video as always and top pod cast. Top Northern lads.

[@kathryndavies8606]

Awesome video Matt! Never fished for crucians prior to white acres and to go on python and catch them shallow on pellet was just mega, what a venue 🎣🎣

[@paulgarner6176]

Well done Matt , you made that look so easy. Great result for you brother. Slide on big time .

[@mickstaniforth4498]

Different class excellent Matt. Going to try these tactics at Bramalls small pond Thurgoland. Tight lines

[@carassiuscarassius140]

Congrats Matt! More of this kind of thing pls. I’d love to get my hands on those rigs - probably wouldn’t use them but keep em as a bit of a trophy 😉 My favourite venue: Bury Hill’s Milton lake, full of pure-bred crucians that are a lovely challenge on the pole. Totally different game though. Sadly don’t get to do it very often any more (too far away)…

[@rhinosroach]

Great insight Matt on the slightest changes that make the difference. I would love those rigs on my local but would have to put a bit of depth on 5ft in margins Oakland water Horseshoe lake. Tight lines for the rest of the league

[@paulsedgwick3195]

Matt, I’ve watched your videos of recent times. This is the first match of seen u fish , Very impressive slide on brother well done ❤

[@peterwallington7973]

Great video! Seeing how a great angler’s brain thinks & reacts. More of same please.( featuring you of course!!!!)

[@fishwithcarl]

This guy seems to know what he's doing... ;)

[@TackleguruTV]

He’s not bad is he 🤔😉🎣

[@russshiptonangling6261]

Top class angling, and very informative video. Welll done Matt,.

[@theandrewsfamily7352]

Hi Matt great video learnt a lot as only started match fishing in the last few years so it’s all quite new. Best venue I fish is the Kennet and Avon canal for getting loads of roach and skimmers local to me.

[@paulgregory7359]

Awesome MATT, well done pal

[@carldyson9342]

Well done matt hope there some more live matches from Guru loved this one

[@TackleguruTV]

Plenty more live matches coming soon! 🎥🎣

[@nigelmiddleton2727]

Brilliant interesting feature Matt , makes a nice change from carp bashing videos. Would love to try those rigs out on the Sandmartin lake at Lodge Farm, maggots are the only bait I take there, summer or winter, brilliant Ide fishing, plus loads of carp that love maggots. Looking forward to your next live match feature 👏👏

[@SpiritFishingCianjur]

Good job, smart fishing Matt 👍👍

[@garyshipwright9311]

Love single maggot great way to fish on my local lakes catching f1's and silvers at s/farm .great result on match win matt👏👏well done

[@davidlittle6600]

Sherwood Forest fishery in Mansfield, full of carp and F1s. Brilliant venue all year round. Well done on the win 👍

[@seanstorey7337]

Great video carnt wait to see you on the mighty River trent again

[@Nodrog826]

Weston Lawns fishery, back pool. Must have 15 species of fish to have a go at. Perfect rigs for these pools. Great video full of thoughts and information

[@jayboy1810]

Very interesting watch ,don’t get the chance with my club to fish many silver matches, but bagging silvers when carp are shy have won me a few matches for sure.

[@abbey_cutting_fishing220]

Loved the video lads well done on the win I don’t fish anywhere with brown gold fish because I live well up north but had some great days for f1s at Edmondsley pond at Durham 🎣🎣

[@mikepattinson3285]

Great video catching a variety of species exactly what I enjoy doing at my local club fishery at Mirehouse ponds in Whitehaven, West Cumbria. It's great when the float goes under and you've no idea whether it's a small gonk (gudgeon) or a 6lb F1. But catching a net of Crucians is special.

[@00markelliott00]

Class as always. I’d love the rigs. I fish a local pond full of this type of fish, including the neon goldfish 😂🎣❤️

[@barrydulson1352]

Oi oi babby, just want to say mate what a great watch, and some awesome looking fish caught, my favorite place is holgan farm in west wales plus Weston pools, I’ve only really got back into fishing in the last 5 years and watching your videos has helped me change the way I fish, love your videos, keep up the good work to you and the guru team

[@TackleguruTV]

Glad they have helped! All the best! 🎣🙌

[@micktaylor6145]

Great video and I have learnt loads, both rigs would suite my fishing at local lake 5 foot deep for skimmers, cruscians, roach

[@williamrobson7094]

Hi Matt some great tips very appropriate for fishing on my favourite venue, Monkhall fisheries near Bridgnorth.

[@marcuscommonsangling6707]

My favourite venue for catching crucians is newlanads farm in Hampshire! Not only do they go to 2lb plus the colours in the fish there are just insane!👌🏻

[@colinwalker2465]

Great video Matt well done to win. I fish for these at weston pools great venue for them

[@IamRichAng]

Coppice lane fishery bottom pool catching ide and F1's on maggot - love it !

[@oliverorourke9442]

Hi Matt I love watching these live matches. I fish a lot a Gawsworth and average about 1.5lb bream.

[@silviustoica1544]

Hi Matt! Lovely fishing, I have a couple of venues where I do this kind of fishing which reminds me of Europe but my favourite for silvers on the pole must be Barston

[@neilpegrum629]

Heron Lake one of Marlborough & DAA waters has brown and gold gold fish to 3lb, and the fan tails don't have go, love the vid well done Matt.

[@markgallagher3409]

Great video mate, and well done for winning the match, my favourite venue is mill barn canal lake, its full too the brim with f1,s and skimmers ,plus some big dog roach, I fish the short pole with maggots and casters , tight lines thanks

[@jonswindle76]

That was amazing. I am fishing a winter silver league at the moment and am second. The next venue seems very similar and i hope that the tips i had will help me win. Thanks.

[@georgehealy8350]

Matt's fishing speaks for itself but Toby playing a blinder here. Looked fantastic. Well done team 💪

[@TackleguruTV]

Very kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! 🎣🙌👍

[@new-beginnings-fishing]

Another great video Matt I go to a pond called woodhead stoke on Trent it's full of f1 carp and there's only 45 member's..I'll give your method ago as it's silver's mate next week..thanks for the tips

[@grahambuckley4670]

Different world top class fishing and video it was like I was sat with you. Would fish your floats at Bradshaws fishery. Please keep them coming

[@FRSHNMNTY]

Favourite venue at the moment is Hednesford pools near Cannock Chase, fish not quite as exotic as the goldfish you’ve got there but full of 12oz carp / tench / barbel stockies. More similar to where you are and my next favourite is Pipehill Fisheries in Lichfield.

[@kevinday4058]

Brilliant

[@markbesant8762]

Great video thanks. I’d like to try those rigs at Bridgeview fishery just outside Lichfield in the midlands. Very similar venue with a wide variety of fish on the maggot. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@robertwalton2391]

Reepham fishery, bungalow lake. Same methods and lovely days fiahing!!

[@alansteventon5061]

Woodland view flying skimmers great video 👍

[@mickbrown7823]

Awesome fishing Matt. Can really see how important it is to get the rig in so accurately, and hit those little dinks. The fishery I get most of my F1 sport is calling Beauchamps near Rochford in Essex. Problem I have is it’s overrun with tiny Rudd and fishing maggots is suicidal. 4mm hard pellets do the trick though 😉😉😉. Don’t tell the boys 😂😂

[@davidish43]

Well done Matt my type of fishing love lindholme maggot fishing up in the water for f1s

[@barneydog8479]

Great video lads we catch little f1's which count as silvers at landsend fisheries in Somerset 👍

[@topfuelteddy]

Thanks Matt and guru , so good to see a angler of Matt's calibre admitting to not being accurate throwing by hand .No overnight oats 😂😂them floats would would be a great addition to the few I have please .

[@antrog1895]

Someone told me the overnight oats are next to the hot milk (cereal aisle) 🍺🍺🍺 Great vid interesting how feeding is key and things can change over the course of a match. More of these please.

[@aidyml83]

Great video….and well done! I recently joined a club in the north west called Fylde angling society and their ponds are stocked with many different species of fish…I would love to get my hands on those rigs to try out. 👍

[@scottreynolds1428]

Hey Matt what a day.slide on brother Love watching with my kids and talk tactics. Then we head down to White House farm in Lincolnshire just down the road and try what we learnt from you. Keep it real brother tight lines ❤

[@sumabootpiloot]

Nolderwoud in the netherlands is my favourite commercial fishery full of f1 and silvers and a nice carp population

[@chrisslater6681]

Great video Matt and Toby, would use these at Cooper's lake on some massive ide. I need as much help as possible at the minute, bad start to the season 😭

[@glenncoley4748]

Great video Matt. My venue for lots of bites any time of year, is one you know- Riddings Fishery. Slide on...😉

[@davidfarmery4577]

Great match good section win my plase to go and catch fish like go!dfish crowes and all the fish you where on about is just across the road at Messingham grange thight lines

[@kevmiree268]

Great video live match matt ad use them at Aston ponds fishery keep these live matches coming pal well done on ya result 👍👍

[@ryanzon6904]

Instant win that orange one

[@jamesasplin3983]

Aldercarr lane fishery for a lovely mixed bag on maggot tactics 👍 think matt should do some videos with mr scholey again, baggin bros used to make me chuckle 👍

[@boansy1]

Well played.

[@johnstead2584]

Now I know why he represents Barnsley/ England, class act 🎣🎣🎣

[@breakingthecut.8853]

brilliant video. How do you change a hooklength so quickly! my mainline loop is a pain to open to pass the new hook through. help!

"The video was very enjoyable to watch. I envy such a fish-filled fishery. I have fisheries with similar fish, but not as many. I could use such setups to try them out in Poland, at the Bonarka fishery in the center of Krakow."

[@robertstibz9506]

I know of nowhere near me where I could catch like that, retired old bloke from near Heckmondwike, great to see though. Well done.

[@martinwood713]

World class mr godfrey not very often you see a ginger catching a ginger (instant win) Superb vid talking the whole time explaining every second and every decision very easy to see why you are where you are think mr rooney is very lucky to have snared you for the guru team 👏👏👏

[@TackleguruTV]

Ginger catching a ginger 😂😂👍👍

[@stevenroe4649]

Pleasure to watch sir,bloody machine tha nos. Cant say where I go catch fish like that cos I'm rubbish 😂

[@pepeloscalzo310]

Coopers aram for me great silver venue good angling mat as usual keep on bagging

[@rogercunningham9818]

Summerhayes catching crucians skimmers tench but no ide or f1s in the lakes.congrats on your win.

[@majmat]

Tripp is one of my favourite ponds at messy sands because you never know what will come out next, i've had 200lb mixed bags mostly on paste , i'd even fish paste in the winter there. I prefer the deeper pegs 1 to 25. Little swan/new bit is another cracking lake with some nice islands and a sandbar to chuck a bomb n pellet or a method for carp and on the bottom you can get a skimmer a chuck.

[@trevorchapman9050]

Whilst I love the content and the banter of this fine ginger man, I felt I learnt nothing!

[@simonmaitland4964]

Sessay lakes on the small lake Big Ide love it
