[@1markeyboy]

my advice too a beginner , especially in winter , Be patient, make sure to keep warm and have a nice hot flask with TEA/ COFFEE, AND FEED LITTLE AND OFTEN. Good Luck.

[@UKprestoninnovations]

Great advice! Don't forget the snack pack😬

[@Balloo0123]

The tip I would give to a new comer to the sport is simply to have fun. Go to a venue with mixed fish species and maggots and either fish off the top of a rod or top 3 or 4 on a pole or a 4 foot whip. The key to youngsters is to get a bite and get them hooked. Great video guys. Merry Christmas to everyone at Preston Innovations and tight lines into 2022.

[@zero2sixtyspeedfreak]

For a newbie who's just started feeder fishing my tip would be never cast beyond your comfort zone. Anyone can cast 60 + meters but the further out you go the less accurate you'll be. Try to keep the feeder within a 3m area. Good luck 👍

[@stuartframpton8169]

New to the sport best of advice is to enjoy the whole experience from the great outdoors to catching fish as a bonus

[@stephenmonaghan5766]

Beginner Tip: When waggler fishing always use a float adaptor or swivel attachment so you can wrap Wagglers with ease when conditions change. very important if wind picks up and a heavier waggler is needed. Can change in seconds.

[@garyjordan7797]

My tip for beginners is to watch as many videos on fishing techniques as possible. I wish they were available when I first started. The content is amazing from the likes of Des and Lee. Keep it up.

[@alantonkinson7676]

For a youngster to catch more fish, do what I did and watch videos on you tube from Des, Lee etc. I have learnt so much from them and the Preston team. The other things is to just enjoy yourself.

[@mikeblake8508]

My tip for anyone who has just started fishing. When you start your session begin with little and often bait wise. Remember you cant take out what you have put in. Cheers joe .what a lovely treat. Prepping Christmas dinner for tomorrow, watching 2 absaloute legends. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@deanfuller2632]

Tip 1 for beginners start in the summer, however I love winter fishing tip 2 try go with someone how has venue knowledge or ask a regular for help and tips on the venue tip 3 my favourite ask for help from your local tackle shops.. Will always set you and give you lots of help and knowledge.

[@markcross7441]

A plummet,have shown anglers how to use one over the years and gave a few away. To see them going from not to having a bite to catching a fish makes my day.

[@stephenwalsh6307]

Great video as always! My tip to a new person starting is to enjoy the fishing your catching and take care of them, a small fishing will become the bigger fish we all dream of.

[@rogerclarke114]

Don't be afraid to ask questions in the tackle shop or on the bank, anglers are always happy to help beginners. Great video, Merry Christmas to all at Preston

[@neilmann444]

Great video, advice for anybody starting fishing is to find someone or a club to fish with. Start gradually with catching small fish then work up to catching bigger fish. Find out what style of fishing you prefer. The old saying is learn to walk before you can run 👍

[@andypage8065]

Never move the feeder

[@mikemartin153]

Don't be afraid to ask any other anglers around for advice. Any self respecting angler would jump at the chance to help. Another good video guys. Keep them coming!!

[@kevingraham7548]

Beginner tip, never skip plummeting the depth of the swim you're fishing, you will save so much time later in the day, and have the confidence knowing you are on the bottom. Great vid by the way, a small break between left over mince pies and lager !!!

[@ges123ter]

Firstly I have to say what a brilliant video this has been, fished by 2 great ambassadors of match fishing. My tip for a beginner would be to practise and enjoy the sport, take the good with the bad and keep learning, even the top anglers learn from every session

[@fishingmadmolly7822]

I am 15 and have been fishing for about 5 years and the single biggest thing that improved my fishing and catch rate was learning to cast too the clip. Being able to put a feeder accurately and gently tight against a far bank or an island or in the winter being able to cast repeatedly to the same pockets of fish will improve your catch rate i promise.

[@tonym649]

As always a great video, my advice for a new angler would be feed little and often... never overfeed especially in winter!

[@mikefrench3574]

My tip: You'll progress faster if you get advice rather than trying to figure it out yourself as a beginner. Other anglers, tackle shop staff and fishery owners will help you - but if you can't speak to these, or are nervous to then hook yourself up with Des, Lee, Joe from Preston and some of the other youTube anglers. I started again almost from scratch 2 years ago and very quickly found Des' videos. Upside is learnt loads really quickly, and made less mistakes on the bank and when spending money in the tackle shop. Downside is I spent a fortune on Preston gear !!

[@johndonaldson8186]

My tip for a beginner in winter is to stay warm and dry need your help have plenty of hot drinks The warmer you are the more you will enjoy it

[@mikemartin153]

Never be afraid to ask any other anglers around for advice. Any self respecting angler would jump at the chance to help you. Great video Joe. Keep them coming!!

[@lawrencem4811]

Great video. My tip for a beginner is ‘never be afraid to speak to anglers on the bank and ask their advice on the venue you are fishing. No question asked is silly. We only learn by asking others and maybe adapting it to for ourselves’ I love being asked advice and helping. We only learn by asking. Happy New Year All and Tight Lines for 2022

[@tyr580]

My tip would be to start in the margins. It gives you the basics of casting technique with very little punishment and can be as prolific as any other place, sometimes even more so. It’s a tip that helped me big time when I started about 18 months ago, and as you get more confident, you can start exploring feature finding and longer casts. On a lot of commercials, the bigger carp often patrol the edges, meaning you’ll still get the experience of catching a bit of everything, but from a much more comfortable place. Best of luck all, and tight lines!

[@PESCUITSPORTIVcuMike]

First of all, I thank you guy's for everything you done for un. My tip for a beginner wold be:get information of the water, set up 3 swims, and try to learn from every sign you get from every spot you fish 🤗🙏

[@paulbaxter2964]

For any newcomer make sure you keep warm & dry, you can enjoy pole or feeder if you are comfortable, thank you again Preston, great anglers & great products.

[@SiHalstead]

My top tip: Always wet your knots before pulling them tight. Friction can often cause your knot to fail or line to snap if you tighten while line is dry.

[@LynnSmith-lv6go]

what a great video great to watch four great fishermen in one great place.

[@brianwelbourne9896]

My top tip, if you are not catching in these miserable conditions, never, never be tempted to feed in more bait as your swim could just go dead. The fish will feed on that small amount of ground bait you put in when they feel like it and it might take an hour or even two before you get the first bite. Tight lines all and a happy new year.

[@dietermourits3297]

A tip for a beginner! Be patient. Do trust in things you do while fishing and start critisize it afterwards. While fishing. Enjoy and trust what your doing! Oh, and talk to local anglers. People you know who fish a lot on the waters you will be fishing! Helped me lots🎣🔥

[@paulslatcher6836]

My no1 tip and new comers i have helped at Makins as i get approached a lot lol is, if your float fishing key is to plumb the depth to where you are fishing by pinching a swan shot on to your hook or buy a plummet. i see so many new comers just chucking it out either well over depth or way to shallow. The bait choices and casting will all come down to practice and watching other experienced anglers, and never be afraid to ask for advice most anglers will happily oblige. Merry Xmas all.

[@ahenneka]

First of all thank's for taking all the time you took to explain how you both prepared for the match. That goes also to the most important tip for a starter. "Watch those video's from Preston Innovation" and bring them into practice. You don't need much more !

[@scottlouise4719]

All I can say to a beginner is just enjoy your surroundings. Be safe and listen to anglers around you with experience.Don’t get downhearted when you don’t catch. It happens to everyone. Happy Christmas.

[@antrog1895]

Spend a couple of weeks looking through the ‘how to’ vids and also the Q&A on this channel - tons to learn. 👍

[@antonylittle9813]

Great video. My tip is to talk to the people in the local tackle shop. They’re a brilliant source for tips on where and how to fish. They want you to have a good days fishing so you’ll come back again!

[@ROB1966SHARON]

One tip is watch the vids from Preston Innovations whether it be Des, Lee, Joe Andy Findlay whoever. Simple guidelines to follow and fish a local commercial to start off with and don't be afraid to ask questions. Most anglers will help with what bait to use and set up. Great vid as always looking forward to 2022

[@cecilbryans4523]

Begginers Tip. When you get to your peg, After setting up the float or pole line always plumb up all areas of your peg in front as far as you intend to fish and to either side which will let you know where your fishing area is either deeper or shallows up.

[@escape_with_aaron]

Top tip: Make sure you always keep a plummet with you! It’s a weight that you can attach to your hook so that when you’re float fishing you can see just how deep the water is and it will allow you to be able to present your bait on the bottom. Extra tip: Use the plummet to check other areas of your swim to find any deeper or shallower areas where fish could be hiding! It will help you understand the water a lot more!

[@garethsanger8283]

My tip as a relative newcomer to another would be firstly to enjoy the whole experience, fishing is a fantastic sport. Secondly don’t be afraid to ask the experienced anglers around you for advice on how they are catching, all I have met are more than willing to help and give advice

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

Tip for beginner: To start off buy a 3/4m whip and get used to plumbing, playing and landing fish. Then move on to either a pole or rod and line. It'll help you catch fish without all the tangles of a rod and line and it's great fun too 👍👍

[@adewest4171]

Great video guys👍 my top tip for the juniors coming through would be have the correct amount of line on the spools of your reels for efficient casting and accuracy merry Xmas

[@johnkiddle379]

Fishing for the first time? Three basic rules..1 go with someone who not only knows how to catch fish, but knows the venue you are going to fish, so that they can give you the best chance of having a great day with lots of bites and lots of fish in the net. 2 keep it as simple as you can, it helps you to concentrate on the bites and not faff about with unfamiliar tackle and lots of birds nests. 3 most importantly fish on a nice dry warm day. Most bad first experiences of fishing are due to being cold, wet, biteless, and fishless. The first trips are crucial, get it right and you will fish all your life long. Great job all year guys, under the covid cloud you still managed to reach us all some great things to improve our catches. Merry Christmas and a great New year.

[@waynesmallridge4119]

Des used my tip. That is to try and seek advice from locals on what's the best way to catch and what's is being caught. Any advice is better than none. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and fish on.

[@rogercooke5373]

My tip is keep it simple , ask questions other angler's are always willing to help and most of all enjoy your fishing. Thanks for all your videos, merry Xmas to you all.

[@johncrosbyfishing5973]

Great vid guys. My tip to a beginner is when pole fishing……..fish at a length that is comfortable to you and practice the skill before going out further.

[@DeanMansfield1211]

my tip for the winter for a beginner ... if you make a flask of coffee/tea heat the milk up in microwave then add to flask !! will keep your coffee/tea hot all day .. will keep you warm and help you catch more fish

[@benjamingummerson6746]

Awesome video. My tip for anyone starting would be don’t over feed, don’t just go straight for the carp, build yourself up and most importantly enjoy yourself

[@robwarwick]

Never be afraid to ask questions, especially of the top anglers like Des and Lee they are always willing to provide advice.

[@granvillew12]

tip for beginner natural venue Northern Ireland focused: Don't be afraid to feed heavily. If the fish are there you will catch them, and if they aren't but they do arrive, you need something to hold them. Second tip, if you think fish are there but your not getting bites, contrary to what most people tell you, do try a finer hook length, smaller hook to try and get a bite, in some of the really clear water it can and does make a difference. Once you get a bite to can work your way back up to big hooks and thick hook lengths. But I've seen it where a fine hook length switches the fish on, they have been there feeding all the time, just avoiding your rope.

[@geoffscreen49]

My advice for a beginner is to pick a venue that holds a lot of small fish. Fish with maggots that will catch anything that swims, pick one line to fish, feed accurately and plumb the swim so you know where the bottom is and go in the summer when its easier to catch. Thanks to Preston for putting these competitions on and a merry Christmas to to all

[@mattmatt6878]

For a beginner angler I would advise if match fishing on a certain venue have a practice before, research the venue, look at recent match results on the fishery website, ask other anglers who fish there regularly for tips and find videos on the fishery involved from one of the top match anglers 👍

[@willcooperfishing]

My tip for a beginner is that you should always consider the length of you hooklength when feeder fishing. Longer hooklengths can sometimes help pick out big or shy fish, and shorter hooklengths can be very effective when there are a lot of fish that get onto the feeder quickly.

[@chrismartin4436]

As usual a great video and happy Christmas to you! My tip to someone new to the sport would be find someone who is an experienced angler and ask them to take you out and show you how to. When I was a 10 yrs old my uncle did for me, he showed me everything I needed to know to catch fish so I caught Fish and from there I just got better. Cheers Chris

[@grahambuckley4670]

Always go to local tackle shop they usually know what's the correct bait and method for venue. And go on Facebook and read results of matches see what best pegs are. Don't be frightened to ask questions. Merry Xmas to you all keep up the good work

[@brendanheslop5070]

Don't be frightened to talk to other anglers. They will always give you sound advice! Nice video. All the best

[@richysbivvy]

Tip I would say to a beginner if Fish Comfortably, don't try to fish at distance, fish closer which is more comfortable and feed catch closer. My tip. Great to see Kerry v Des in a 3 hour silver fish. Cheers guys

[@ludorosseel5042]

Tip for the starting feeder angler, start with small amounts of groundbait, small feeders in winter. Let the fish tell you what to do. To positive feeding at the start means you can't take the the feed out of the water. Always feed more when the fish respond.

[@englishlab713]

My tip for a beginner angler would be to fish a smaller hook on a lighter line just to get bites and learn from your breakages what works and what doen't work for each type of fish and for the stamp you are catching . Slowly work your way up. I learned this as a kid when I asked the man next to me "excuse me Mr. Why are you catching and I'm not". :-( He quickly looked at my line and hook. Tooted , and gave me what I thought was a minute hook and very thin line to replase my grapling hook and rope and low and behold I started to catch. So thank you who ever you were but lesson was learned at a very young age to scale down and balance your tackle.

[@leetaylor5348]

Now this was a good format ... Perhaps, you can do this again , when the guys can do it !! Well done boy's .. enjoyed this .... more please !!!

[@AJRichards925]

If you’re new to fishing my tip is always be accurate and makes notes on what worked and what didn’t

[@robertcordrey5273]

Great video as always guy’s, keep them coming! My tip for new anglers on putting more fish in the net is, don’t be afraid to ask questions??? But you have too ask the right person. Based on this video. If you come across Lee and Des, ask Lee because Des will probably be trying to warm his hands! Sorry Des, but it’s about more fish not cold hands!

[@leelugard-davies234]

Best advice I could give to a starter would be……ask questions. If you see someone catching whilst you are struggling go and have a chat with them, watch what they are doing and ask questions. Same when you go to the local tackle shop, ask about things. You can learn so much from others. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@TheKeithorl]

My tip is to take your time choosing your lines to fish. Plumbing up is super important. Dont rush this part. Plumb up all round you and take your time to set your depth to perfection. Skip this step and everything else you do will be wrong. Plumb up right and you are setting a good foundation for the day ahead.

[@joshnorton617]

My tip is never over-complicate things. Don’t ever think that you need to set up 12 top kits to catch a big weight. Another tip is just enjoy yourself, it makes fishing so much more fun when you go out to enjoy yourself. Leave the competitive side of fishing till later in life and just enjoy your fishing as a youngster and you won’t go far wrong👍

[@chriswayte6363]

my top for a beginner is never be afraid to ask questions from an angler who is catching fish . this will help massively.

[@andrewstone1999]

Tip I would give for pole fishing for a beginner is go somewhere you can catch short, learn to master short lengths of pole before you start fishing longer lengths of pole, or you can struggle and feel like giving up , cheers guys, happy Christmas

[@clivey179]

Watch and learn as much as you can from the Preston anglers their knowledge is massive, but most of all enjoy your fishing. It will all come together in time. Tight lines

[@benharrison3454]

Happy Christmas all... My little tip would be to use youtube as part of your armour to learn. These days you just can't beat the knowledge these guys put out and its free to watch and guaranteed to get bites if you follow the tips and tricks.

[@ryacka]

My tip for a beginner angler: use as small a hook as you can get away with. A size 18 hook is perfect for catching a big weight of fish at a mixed fish venue, especially in winter when the fish are a bit more wary of presentation :)

[@timj3025]

As I have just returned to the sport after 30 years, my best tip would be to watch the guys from Preston on KZbin, it's a great learning medium from guys who live and breathe fishing.

[@jamesmason9678]

My advice to any youngsters entering fishing would be to keep thing simple, watch and learn, no matter our age or how long we have been fishing we are always learning, look after your fish and the environment around you so others may enjoy our great sport

[@geffthebricky]

My tip for a beginner would be to ask your local tackle shop to recommend a venue where there are plenty of small roach that can be caught close in and buy a whip and some ready made rigs. Hone your skills with this tackle then move on to a rod and line. Also don't be afraid to ask more experienced anglers for advice (not while they are fishing a match lol)

[@Doombar1973]

Top tip - Enjoy it - regardless of how you do. If you enjoy being outside, connecting with the surroundings and letting the time pass you by then everything else will fall into place.

[@nikolaiiliev1068]

Great video! My tip to beginner would be to keep it simple and enjoy all the time while fishing.

[@tonybrunton4384]

Great video as usual Beginner tip…Join your local angling club, there will be more experienced anglers who will be glad to pass on their knowledge, better still, if your a junior angler, try and get involved in their junior match section, it’s always more fun to learn with other new, younger anglers, tight lines everyone for the New Year

[@alinmocan235]

Brilliant, just brilliant.....top anglers....good video Preston Innovations!!!

[@jamesbutler4701]

The tip, be comfortable when your fishing. On these really cold wet days, drop a hand warmer into your boots. If you can stay warm you'll enjoy your fishing far more.

[@markbielby873]

My tip is to find a location where you’re going to fish and go and view the venue a few times and talk to all the anglers who fish it regularly and get as much advice and tips as possible. also your local tackle shop is always there for great advice too

[@Pelletlobbers]

Great video, my tip would be have patience. Patience while learning and patience while fishing. All of us are still learning every time we fish and all of us make mistakes so if you do don't be hard on yourself. Just get out there, do it and keep at it👍

[@seantaylor2689]

The tip I would give, is always start negative, you can always put more bait in, but you can’t take any out. Good luck and have fun.

[@royhall2761]

Awesome video once again lads looking forward to more in 2022. My tip for newbies would be pop along to your local commercial where you give yourself a bigger chance to catch, but also dont be afraid to ask for help and advice from the tackle shop or other angler, there are plenty out there only to happy to help .

[@tomflavell5624]

Best advice for a beginner I could give is to make sure you pick a marker on other side of the lake either a bench peg or a tree for when you are plumbing up and keeping your feeding area accurate and also make sure you enjoy it

[@carlosraposo5296]

A good tip for a new fishermen is always get good material from good brands like this one, Preston, you dont need to buy top end Stuff but buy good, if you go for the cheap material you will later buy good and spend money twice. Another tip for feeder is acuracy, Take time to learn how to cast strait and with the line clip, in the begining start to cast to closer distance. I like very much this two great pros, but kerry is my favorite. Cheers from Portugal.

[@rogerduglous5323]

The tip id always suggest is make sure your plumb up the area you’re fishing, can make all the difference when hitting every bite. Merry Christmas 🎅🏽

[@peterthornton8520]

My tip would be to make sure you have a selection of baits to give the option the get the fish to bite without complicating it to much. i.e. during Winter fishing on Pole i would always have some maggotts, a few casters and Worms with micro pellets. Finally an 18 hook size is a good starting point. Cheers for 2022.

[@herefordshirefarming]

beginner tip: always ask local people about the fishery you are fishing at and ask if you can watch and get tips helps loads

[@andrewtravis7737]

My tip would be to ask questions on the takle you buy to make sure it's right for the style an type of fishing you intend to be doing it will make life so much easier an save you money in the long run

[@craigpears5003]

My tip for someone new to pole fishing is to start out whith a cheap pole , i started out with a second hand Preston Zyrium, that way i could learn how to use a pole and get used to shipping back and get some pole craft and it didnt matter if i dinked it. As you get better progress onto newer more costly bits of kit and slowly build up your kit.

[@alanlepatourel3426]

Great video, my advice to a new angler would be don't be afraid to ask questions of successful anglers. The top anglers will be only too happy to help if approached after a session.

[@iancampbell2028]

For new starters feed little and often and practice as much as you can it has helped me over the years

[@harrymills9150]

My tip for a beginner is don’t be scared to ask questions because we don’t bite and it’ll really help. Also check in on social media see what baits caught what and how they caught it. Ask at tackle shops and ask Bailiff and owners. The final tip is to only use Preston tackle it’s the best and it’ll help you bag!!

[@Shakey1529]

Great video. Tip for new angler spend time plumbing up and mark depth on top kit so you always know where to go back to if you try different depths

[@nathanhubbard2044]

Small hooks Feed 2 or 3 swims Keep feeding nice and tight And pick your line in the distance to help make sure you repeat the same casts Make sure your seating area is nice and tidy and everything’s to hand ! Last thing make sure that disgorger is in your fingers ready ! Happy fishing 🎣

[@barryruthy]

Absolutely fantastic video. My tip for beginners would be to feed little and often to try encourage fish into the peg. Plenty of great videos to watch . Tight lines

[@trudyandy]

The best tip I have been given and pass to anyone who listens is simple. Keeping it simple, dont overthink it, use things that you can understand and baits which you cant get wrong like corn maggots etc coz to enjoy fishing when you first start is to catch.

[@stevenjtierney4641]

Great video, my top is to take time to plumb up around your peg so you find features and best bottom conditions to help you have the best chance of catching any fish that are there.

[@andrewruss1359]

Fantastic video yet again. Keep them coming in 2022. More versus matches please. My advice for beginners is to watch ships tips on the Preston channel and KEEP IT SIMPLE.

[@boansy1]

Merry Christmas to all. My tip for new anglers is dont over complicate things, learn how to plumb up correctly and feed little and often.

[@steve17361]

A beginners tip from me would be to listen to advise from a local tackle shop or a local angler. Plus, don't set your expectations too high. It's not always about the biggest fish. One of my motto's is 'a fish is a fish'.

[@foragefishbikeboat]

Keep a log book of what methods you’ve used, the baits, the weather. This helps you focus on how you approach your fishing and build up confidence on what works for you. Oh, and keep watching these guys.

[@kieranhuggins6802]

My tip would be use a plummet when float fishing and use it regularly when fishing a tidal water (every half hour or so). There is no point in buying quality bait then presenting it in the wrong place. Have a good Christmas everyone. 👍⛄
