Lure fishing 2021 - Bombarda+Mepps - Episode 1

Proof of concept

[@thebanditfrogster]

Martin your luck is unique. Testing, trying, experimenting is what fishing is about. When you find what's right for you, job done. 🐸❤

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Yep, also I need to find what I'm comfortable with, singularly important, and it doesn't necessarily have to be right.

[@jacquelinemhanson4865]

Great video! Wonderful to see experimentation and how well it works. Take care and I can't wait for your next video!!

[@TheAutisticAngler]

thank you

[@buzzfl1ght]

Love your persistence and you were definitely doing everything right. But remember the old adage, "you can't catch 'em if they ain't there!" Love your videos by the way!

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Thank you Pete

[@castersfishingwales2038]

Looks like a good set up, another good tip taken from you buddy!!

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Thank you

[@richardjarvis4968]

well done Martin I'm learning so much off of you thanks very much shame there was no fish good video thank you

[@TheAutisticAngler]

my pleasure Richard, thank you

[@paulallum6738]

Evening Martin, one small criticism, I think you have the Bombarda float upside down. Used the Bombarda surface fishing for Carp with great success. Love how you like to try different things in your fishing

[@TheAutisticAngler]

I have tried the float both ways, but find for me this way, it doesn't tangle as often. Thank you Paul.

[@stevecoppin4278]

that looks very good martin what sort of distance are you getting

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Thanks Steve. I have no idea, but to be honest, It wasn't that far.

[@sme70]

The sizes are on the blades of mepps . I think they start at 00 being the smallest then 0 then 1 etc.

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Ok thank you, I'll have a look

[@TheAutisticAngler]

It says Mepps then underneath 0 then Aglio, so I guess it's a 0 then 😁

[@sme70]

@@TheAutisticAngler Yes that's it . Size 2 are excellent for freshwater perch and easier to cast as they have a bit more weight to them.

[@TheAutisticAngler]

@@sme70 I have some more to check through, thank you

[@patomalley1744]

Nice one Martin, great seeing try all these methods 👍👍 May I suggest something, if you like the Mepps why not invest in an LRF setup, not expensive, something like the Shakespeare Agility or similar ? You will be able to cast the same distance or further. Just an idea Martin 👍👍

[@TheAutisticAngler]

lol, Thanks Pat, i've just bought an HTO lrf rod to replace the one i broke.

[@patomalley1744]

Nice one Martin, hope to see you out using it soon with the Mepps 👍👍

[@lizwallace9672]

Well Martin thanks for going out and trying and at least I seemed to cast ok tight lines till the next one

[@TheAutisticAngler]

don't worry liz i'll catch a fish on it soon.

[@lesedwards936]

Nice one Martin tight lines

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Thanks Les

[@deanoryan7784]

U won’t succeed unless u try is what I’ve always thought and u keep trying mate so ur on the road to success….🤞🎣

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Lol, thanks.

[@gj7685]

Hi Martin may be try a savage weedless minnow next time ?

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Thanks for your comment GJ but I haven't got any.

[@paologugliuzza6766]

Hi, first of all learn how to use the bombarda, it must be mounted backwards! The straw must be mounted towards the top of the barrel!!!!

[@TheAutisticAngler]

I've tried both but have found with the tube under the weight i get less tangles. If it is above the weight then it serves no purpose that i can see.

[@johnglover9935]

Le monde refers to everybody (in the world).

[@TheAutisticAngler]

Yep, thanks

[@hatchie61fish-on29]

I'm sure the list wrong way round martin

[@TheAutisticAngler]

It doesn't seem to matter tbh
