Lure Fishing in the DARK! // Return to the City

[@Jack19888]

What a genuine guy, love watching the videos, not one to comment but just wanted to say the content is 10/10, keep up the good work!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Jack :-) Really appreciate it, it's hard work pulling these films together but all worth it when someone enjoys it

[@jamesbowthorpe8376]

As someone who frequently fishes London’s waters I love seeing one of my favourite KZbinrs come down and give it a go. Also love how you don’t edit out the struggle. Definitely try Walthamstow wetlands next time. Great vid

[@robertkirk1983]

Congrats on finally catching in London buddy. I really enjoy your videos, way it's filmed and edited and just your honest uncut attitude towards how tough yet exciting fishing can be. Keep it up 👍

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Robert :) I really appreciate that, hope to make many more like it!

[@blackline66]

Another banger of a video. Showing the lows and the highs. Thanks Tom and friends 😊

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you for watching!!! 😁

[@TheLureQuest-y3k]

I love how you show the mishaps and downsides to the sport aswell as the awesome moments

[@JuliusJayme-e9i]

Bros my new favorite KZbinr.... The work you put in all your video is 100\10

[@DavidBrown-jd2st]

Crazy that spot with the carp, defo need to hit their again Tom…. Great vid as usual 🫡

[@Herbie101]

Amazing video, from crashing the van to catching that beautiful pike I didn’t stop smiling 😊

[@Onlyfoolsandfishing]

Mate this was a sick film once again! The definition of persistence paying off! Well done mate!

[@TheBigCrispman]

It was great to be out and the film is even more great. Only micro fish from my side though 😂. Well done at the end though mate 😎🌇

[@tomwilshaw]

Hey you brought the fish when I simply couldn't haha, was wicked fishing together - hopefully we'll get a chance to do it again soon mate!!

[@RykerMylxs]

My favourite days are the ones where I come online and there’s a little blue dot next to your name. Thank you, Tom.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

It's no secret that you're not the most prolific angler but that was a brilliant video, Tom!

[@xul_uk]

about time Tom, great catch!

[@tomwilshaw]

haha, took a while be we got there!!!!

[@StoicFXT]

I see Tom Wilshaw uploaded, i happy, i click!

[@tomwilshaw]

hahaha, I hope you enjoy it 😁

[@Robs-Fishing]

I really enjoy your video's a lot Tom. You just have a nice chill vibe about you and your editing is brilliant. Well done catching the pike :)

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you Rob!! I'm still learning, trying to make the focus more on what's happening rather than clever editing, but I think I'm hopefully finding a balance - and haha, thank you, I was made up!!!!

[@fareedahmadsiddiqui8268]

What a video, Tom! I've only watched these 2 videos of you - both in London. Can tell you're such a good lad with the way you taught and dealt with that sweet kid. Thanks for taking us along this journey. Love from Pakistan!

[@Aus396]

Amazing video as always! Just enjoy watching your adventures, cool places and epic filming so enjoy yourself and don’t stress about catching fish. All anglers know how difficult it can be 😊. Thanks for great content!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks mate :-) It's too true, I learned that big time on this film.

[@kevinwinter7050]

I thoroughly enjyed that, and was chuffed to bits when you caught! I really like the raw, honest style of these recent videos, with the difficult bits left in, very relatable...

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Kevin - I know a lot of people want to click on videos and have the thrill of immediate catches, but when it comes to my own fishing, it just isn't the case 😅 they'd be very short films with all the blanking cut out haha

[@kevinwinter7050]

@tomwilshaw genuinely, my favourite video was your one on the Welsh quarry with almost no fish involved!

[@colinbailey6236]

Thank you Tom for inspiring the inner city folk into enjoying nature ❤ it's a beautiful video.

[@tomwilshaw]

It was shocking just how much peace can be found in the middle of the chaos, the wandle especially, truly surprising!!! Thanks Colin

[@lewiswilko9004]

Really love this style of video. Really clean and a great watch matey 🎉

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Lewis!!!! :) Really appreciate it!

[@dantecarp]

Something about you lad is very calming for us. Please keep it up.

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers mate :-) I'll do my absolute best!

[@CasualYugiStuff]

Such a good video man!!! And love the tune at the end! Well edited, keep it up!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks mate!!! It was recommended by someone I know on instagram and was the PERFECT way to end it, so hyped it all came good - cheers!

[@matthart3246]

Just brilliant. Becoming one of my favorite youtubers.

[@tomwilshaw]

That means the world - I really love making these films, I love hearing that people have enjoyed them even more

[@LondonCatchAndRelease]

Finally, the time has arrived. I was waiting for this video for ages I can put a like and Watch the video now

[@tomwilshaw]

haha, good things take time 👀 just like BIG PIKE AT THE END OF VIDEOS

[@LondonCatchAndRelease]

@tomwilshaw ehehe that was a lot of effort

[@tomwilshaw]

all worth it in the end 😌

[@Recklessrods]

Great vid always put a smile on my face keep it up 💪💪

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers mate!!! I'll keep 'em coming :)

[@fishandchill.]

great video as always, big city life is a banger song and fit so well to the action

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks so much :) it was perfect for the end of an epic trip!

[@DDGXMUSIC]

Tom vs. London: The Rematch! This looked like a great trip and the joy was evident went you landed that pike :-) Another absolutely top quality video thank you!

[@tomwilshaw]

Haha, it happened eventually!! Thanks mate, really appreciate it

[@woodley_carping]

Tom, you really have got the David Attenborough voice of fishing films. I'm here for it 🙌

[@tomwilshaw]

Hahaha, it's just a byproduct of how 'into it' I get when editing, I'm glad someone likes it 😂

[@theeflump777]

Your content is getting better than some of the more popular tubers videos good work

[@tomwilshaw]

haha, thanks :-) Good to know I'm improving!!!

[@m.h.english4773]

Sorry about your 🚘. This is why when I fly to London to follow in your footsteps, I will bring with me my trusty Dahon folder bike (I believe your equivalent is called a Brompton). But you’re having the adventure which will last a lifetime. 😇

[@jakewilliamson]

tom, i'm watching this on the banks of the maroochy river in queensland australia. i'm camping off my motorcycle and've caught a nice flathead (think australian sea pike predator fish!) and've saved this video for relaxing by the campfire after having just cooked an excellent steak over the coals. to say i'm a happy man and am really enjoying your video is a understatement 😉 you make a cracking film sir, keep them coming!

[@tomwilshaw]

ooooh my days!!! Now THAT is living - I'm currently sat behind my desk feeling very jealous haha, my hat's off to you!! Hope the steak was as good as it sounds haha

[@jakewilliamson]

@@tomwilshaw mate, if you ever come to australia give me a shout and i'll take you out bass fishing - you'll love it 😉

[@michaelbrian5260]

another great video left us all on a cliff hanger with the pre baiting lol defo need another carp vid on that lake

[@tomwilshaw]

haha, sorry my bad 😉 I will most certainly be heading back for a London carp.... but one venue per video from now on haha, at least, for a while!

[@CalAndDani]

Oi Oi! Back to London, fair play for camping, that looked sketchyyyy 🤣 Another banger mate!

[@tomwilshaw]

Haha, it wasn't too bad thankfully, but tbh I was so tired I think I was slightly numb to any potential danger - cheers bro!

[@proanglingrecruitment]

Excellent video really enjoyed it

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@daredreamerafloat9078]

Great stuff Tom!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you ☺️

[@RyleyCompton]

Amazing video as per usual 👏

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Ryley 😁

[@nico.w680]

Great video really enjoyed watching this!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Nico!!

[@SnaggedBro]

Your videos are just 🔥🔥🔥

[@tomwilshaw]

It's not hard to guess who inspired this series ;-) Thanks for making lamping look so fun with Ginger, was my favourite part of this trip!!!!

[@ChubHarrison0708]

I’m so happy for you Tom, a Pike and a perch dude you’re on 🔥 Well done mate 👍

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks mate :-) I couldn't believe it to be honest, and of course I only started catching after I chilled out and took the pressure off myself - always the way!

[@ChubHarrison0708]

@ Absolutely mate, your perseverance paid off though. You said it yourself during the video Fishing and the adventure is always the best bit about it and should be the enjoyable part. I appreciate you feel the pressure to catch, however a strange bit of me likes it when you don’t (not in a mean way of course) It’s all about the effort for me and some times you catch and most the time you don’t haha! Cheers Tom, looking forward to the next one Dude 👍

[@tomwilshaw]

haha don't worry I fully get what you mean! Fishing is fishing, you blank more times than you catch, and I enjoy being able to represent all of that :) Cheers brother :)

[@olliescrackedbackup6094]

Down at the river wandle where you went. Thats where i fish they have big carp, Trout and Chub. My mate has actually caught a Trout down there on a bit of spam. However they are very spookish as you saw but are very catchable.

[@tomwilshaw]

I think bait would have been the way to be honest, I'm not sure why I insisted on using a lure! Bit of spam, bread.... might have done the trick!

[@adamchumbleyfishinimpossible]

Great video Tom. I have fished the Wandle, a different section, can be rewarding. I do enjoy the urban fishing, not much up here in Northumberland!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Adam - It's a strange old river isn't it? I've heard it gets even more impressive the further into central you get, I really want to head back at some point!

[@johnathonandrew8952]

Another amazing vlog

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Johnathon 😁

[@The100kSalesman]

You was fishing UNDER MY OFFICE!! 😂😂 every morning it’s flat calm and I see so many shows.

[@tomwilshaw]

hahaha no way!!!!!! Shadwell????

[@The100kSalesman]

@ the tower next to hawksmoor in Canary Wharf the floating restaurant as you come out of the tube station. Around 8am it’s like an aquarium!

[@myopin1on618]

That was absolutely brilliant mate keep it up

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks so much!! I'll do my best :)

[@myopin1on618]

​@@tomwilshaw Ur very welcome there's a lot of KZbin fishermen out there and I personally rate U second best behind the ginger fisherman only through catch rate Ur video and voice over rates no 1 for me

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Mega stuff buddy!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Martyn! 😁

[@connorcgs]

Absolutely incredible video, just started lure fishing myself and this lure fishing adventure to different venues is more needed on your channel!!! Also what waterproof backpack was that on the river???

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers Connor :-) Lure fishing's a buzz, when it goes right at least! It's a Fortis rucksack, I think it's made for taking boilies to carp lakes but I really like it as a light fishing bag

[@IAMMUFISHINGINFROMBRAZIL]

Nice video bro, greetings from Brazil. I'm watching your videos and it helps me a lot to learn the British accent. LOL I was in Scotland in August, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to fish there. I'm recording my fishing trips here in Brazil, and I put English subtitles on them, this helps me learn English better, and show my Scottish friends Brazilian culture. Come to Brazil someday, you'll like it!

[@tomwilshaw]

Haha, I'm not sure I have the best accent to learn from but I'm so grateful that you're watching my videos!!! I'd love to go out to Brazil :) one day!

[@romeobalog8230]

Nice vid Tom

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks mate 😁

[@jamestilley81]

I used to live burrells wharf few stops down the Isle of dogs right on the Thames. Used to be alright fishing at high tide. I never wanted to walk through the manky 90s River Thames bank. Though recently was working at Barnes Bridge train station and gontonthe River when I could. Much better these days now the Thames is cleaner. Never had the guts to fish down the canals.

[@nickpenfold2829]

When I was a kid my cousins used to take me to Battersea park we used to catch carp and pike there, great video a lot more like life than most the fishing videos.

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Nick :) I'll have to give that a google, sounds awesome, I wonder if they're still in there!

[@ascot1049]

Brilliant

[@FordyRuns]

Loved this...

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Fordy 😁

[@EricB_LakeOneal]

My wife and I took a trip to London in May and went fishing in canary wharf also. We caught nothing either, so I know your pain!😂

[@tomwilshaw]

Haha, they're in there!!! I definitely started getting some bites, but, sadly got moved on just as it was getting good..... It's annoying as it's somewhere I'd really love to catch from. Glad I'm not alone 😂

[@AaronsAnglingJourney]

Brilliant this

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you Aaron!

[@jamesbradley644]

`love this guy - great video pal

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks James :)

[@TheLeea43]

The shadwell basin is full of decent carp. Also, parts of the wharf.

[@Gang-zy7lq]

Brilliant efford well done fella

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers mate 😌

[@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES]

Loved that, currently doing three nights on a french canal had several screaming runs lost a catfish and two carp landed two bream im feeling yer

[@tomwilshaw]

Epic!!!!!! Canal fishing is my favourite, such limited water in front of you, but an expanse either side - good luck mate, keep going!

[@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES]

@@tomwilshaw home till wednesday restock food bait and charge batteries thanks

[@mikevoller-fishingfun9095]

on the wandle you should have walked the other way over the road and river and down past the houses and it brings you into poulters park.

[@donky75]

Brilliant.but what happened to the pre baiting.is that your next video

[@TheWilshaws]

You should have seen his face when editing the video realising he never went back!! 😂 Sometimes it can get so busy shooting you completely forget -han

[@tomwilshaw]

I got so happy about Matt's pike.... I went home and forgot all about it, but... I'm for SURE going back in one of my next vids 👀

[@MrJoshthenosh]

i spent my entire teenage years fishign in london, there was loads of places, my favourite was the copermill stream at Walthamstow reservoirs, was clear you coudl see the thousands of fish, then the cormorants came and destroyed it

[@tomwilshaw]

Cormorant predation has ruined so many waters sadly :(

[@Ginty11]

Great video mate. What rod do you use when you were walking i the river?

[@Mark-tg9cj]

Mate the trout will be under the banks and you won’t see them keep casting , great video I really enjoyed it loved all the different locations 🍺👍🎣🦈

[@tomwilshaw]

Too true!!! I only realised that as I was running out of time that I should have just kept casting, I've still got so much to learn - epic to see them swimming around though!

[@rsturb01984]

Very brave to be out on your own fishing in London at night especially hear of so many people getting done over robbed and worse stay safe

[@tomwilshaw]

It was definitely challenging, I grew up super sheltered, living in the middle of nowhere - but thankfully all was okay :)

[@Ash-b-89]

Another fantastic video, you should get into the fens mate, best predator fishing in the country.

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers Ash, and I'll have to give it a look!! I'm desperately wanting to get to Norfolk this year for some pike fishing, maybe that's something to do en route!

[@Ash-b-89]

Ely city centre has free fishing and we get people from all over Europe coming to fish for pike. It's worth a look mate. It's not my cup of tea but there are some lovely tench and Rudd about too.

[@fishing1211]

At the river thing you should of used some floating bread probs not the best this time of year but could of done the job you should go back to it with bread

[@tomwilshaw]

SO true, I think bait would have been the way, why I didn't think of that I don't know!

[@fishing1211]

@ will you go back there

[@dieselboy1111]

Nice 👍

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks :)

[@Dan-hl6rq]

Mate you have got way bigger balls than me, just rock up in town and do the night on your Jack Jones with no ppe and packing no heat?!! You do know you only had a 33% chance of making it through the night with your bumhole and ribcage still in tact. Great vid by the bravest man in the world

[@tomwilshaw]

“No ppe” - killing me man 😂😂😂😂😂

[@yorkietipper1606]

I've heard that music at the beginning so much recently .Adverts other KZbinrs etc. Great video though . I love urban fishing.

[@tomwilshaw]

Awesome!! It's a wicked place, I'd love to go back

[@Si-Day]

Nice catches, What's the setup you used ?

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Si :) For canary and the wandle I used a retractable lure rod that Spro make, lure fishing at the end was a Daiwa medium lure rod to handle the larger lures, and Shadwell I was using some proto-type rods that my mate Carl is currently making

[@Si-Day]

@tomwilshaw No worries fella, Yeah I watched a video from Fishing with Carl not long after watching your's think he mentioned about he has some rods that he has planned to bringing out in the video.

Great video Tom. But unlucky about the van, my cousin owns a bodyshop if you need some help.

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Paul :) Yeah I'm still a bit gutted about the van, thankfully it wasn't too bad but still annoying when you take pride in your vehicle. I managed to get the internals fixed last week but still need to look at the body work - where's your cousin based?

@tomwilshaw that's fair. Makes sense now 😆 did wonder.

[@pipanon5813]

The wandle IS a chalk stream bang in the middle of south London

[@tomwilshaw]

Ahhhhhhhhh so my instincts were right!! I read something about a huge clean up the EA did back in the day, as I believe it was one of the worst polluted streams for a while, definitely felt a lot different to that now!

ive just finished a session out in some private property, i know the guy tht looks over it and got permission to fish, such a beautiful place, its worth about 1.28 billion and in the private lake, we saw a few fish come to the surface, one fish tht i rly wanna catch is a specific 40+lb koi, cant wait for my next session!!!!!!!!!! best part is tht no one has access to it, ive known the guy for YEARS and i was barely able to get permission.

2:47 and you don’t argue just take his word for it. Plus Londonstan still looks crap

[@tomwilshaw]

That's my policy to be honest: Do some homework, if you're not sure, fish, but if you're asked to move do so politely and don't cause any fuss. If I were a local, and that was my only spot to fish, I'd react a bit different for sure, but when I'm travelling to other people's spots, I always try to be respectful :)
