Rob amazing inspirational videos

[@ayobali0121]

Thanks for the upload and all the tips mate, definitely going to be trying my luck down there 👍

That’s a lovely looking stretch Rob. Some lovely looking barbel too, well done! Regarding staying longer than intended and getting into trouble at home, I used to work on the basis that ‘ It’s easier to get forgiveness than permission ‘. Used to work OK with the missus but it’s worn a bit thin in recent years !! I had four days on the Trent a week or so ago, three very poor days for barbel but one cracking day with 12 barbel five of them being low doubles.

[@RobsAngling]

I like the approach Harry! That does wear thin after a while though! Well done with your own captures 👍🎣

Great video. Just moved to Shrewsbury and Keen to fish the Severn

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Paul.. You’ll be blessed there with more Barbel fishing that you’ll have time available - Great place to live for river fishing 👌🎣

Fantastic video mate love wacthing

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks very much 👍🎣

Interesting video. I fished a few matches against the Wareham club In.the very early 70s as a junior. All I ever caught were a few stunted Roach and I struggled with the deep-water..I remember talk of the black bass but never caught or saw one Changing the subject, do you know where the Breach Carp came from? I am also trying to find out the origin of the Radipole Lake Carp. I know they were stocked in the early to mid 60s and Mick Wiffin once told me but I didn't write it down and have forgotten. I started fishing Radipole in 1971. Yes. Annoys the hell out of me too. Sea Bass! Aaagh!

once again Rob a fantastic video a pleasure to watch , good information about set up and bait. also what a result after changing baits, also all the fish looked perfect and bigger than they weighed .Keep doing what your doing mate great stuff.

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Mark - Much appreciated. Good luck with your own fishing 👍🎣

@@RobsAngling Thanks Rob I was up at Highley recently and sadly the pub burnt down a couple of days before our visit.The fishing was very difficult but I Did manage a PB but it was an eel, and I dont like eels so for me it didn't really count caught it on peparami . Good luck to you sir

[@martinklein4651]

Hi, great video. I live in Bristol and was planning a short holiday on the Trent to try and catch a double figure Barbel. But after watching this, I've had a change of plan. I fish the Wye now and then and it's so expensive, the stretch I fish is £33 a day. The stretch that you fished in this video is £35 a year for me. On top of that, the Barbel are larger, so hopefully I can catch a double there. Thanks.

[@RobsAngling]

It’s a great value ticket - Very much recommended. Some very good Barbel there also 👌🎣

[@ukmartin2569]

Cheers Rob , hope to get down to Sydney Avenue this October. Haven't seen my Barbel rod for three years.

[@ashwooll]

Great video mate and lovely looking healthy fish ! 🎣 how do I go about getting a ticket for this stretch of the river ? Cheers

[@jamiecarter5170]

I’ve recently taken up fishing again and over the last few months my Goal was to catch a barbel. it’s been hard work to say the least as I’ve blanked every time at montford bridge which used to be very good as I remember as a boy and a few trips on the Trent (stafford) however after watching this video last night I thought this it it!! So I travelled with my two boys and we did it! I didn’t have scales but it was between 9 and 10lb at a guess and put up one hell of a fight! Fantastic educational video and fantastic location. Thanks Rob me and my lads had a great day fishing 👍🏼🎣 tight lines

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Jamie, great to hear you had a successful day out. Well done.. That’s a cracker for the mid-Severn. Well done 👍 🎣

[@jamiecarter5170]

@@RobsAngling thanks Rob 😊👍🏼 I’m sure I’ll be heading back very soon, I’ll look forward to more of your vids.. take it easy 👍🏼

[@margysan]

on the fishermans path where my father taught my brother and i too fish aged 5 and 9 we caught perch roach dace gudgeon and a jacky ruff or two as well

[@RobsAngling]

Great place to wet a line 👌🎣

[@myke.h2913]

Very informative thanks how close is the parking? For a disabled angler.

[@RobsAngling]

It’s very close at Sydney Avenue for the majority pegs. There are steps down to most pegs from the roadside. 👍

[@bensheppard2444]

I had a 14lb barbel off the bottom peg on that stretch. My thinking was, all the bait pushed down ended up on the willow (far bank) at the end of the run. Had loads of Barbel off that spot.

[@RobsAngling]

14lb Barbel is a beast for the Middle Severn 👌🎣

[@MrR184]

I decided to fish here for the first time, three months ago, because every peg was taken turned out to be a brilliant stretch. I had my first double figure on here at 10lbs

[@RobsAngling]

Well done mate - Great result there 👍🎣

[@MrR184]

@@RobsAngling oh definitely

[@peterthomas9632]

Great video as always thank you. Can I just ask what weight feeder do you need there. I know it depends a lot on the conditions but as an average what would you recommend TIA

[@tapstar3567]

Hi Rob, I'm a disabled angler and have trouble walking to far, where are you fishing? and is it day ticket? Is acsess good ? can I fish over night?

[@antjohnson4236]

What are the smaller pellets your using in the mesh?

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Ant, sorry I missed your message. I was using 4mm CKO pellets from Vortex Baits. 👍

[@antjohnson4236]

@barbelfishing no worries mate and thanks for the reply! I'm hoping to search out my first barbel soon somewhere around Shrewsbury as I'm from North wales and these look a good bait which you seem to have a fair amount of success with!

[@RobsAngling]

@@antjohnson4236 These are well worth a go - Good luck, hope you manage to get a few in the net 👍🎣

[@Severn3310]

Which river app you using Rob? Cheers..Great video!!

[@RobsAngling]

Thanks Jason.. It’s called RiverApp on the App Store, probably the same for Android. It’s great for monitoring the levels of all major rivers. 👍

[@tapstar3567]

sorry Bob, just spotted your car in the video, Looks exactly what I'm looking for can you pass me the information

[@RobsAngling]

Hi Steve, it’s Sydney Avenue in Shrewsbury. There is no night fishing here. You can park behind pretty much all pegs on the stretch though so it’s convenient. Good luck with your own fishing👍🎣
