River Fishing For Chub - Watercraft For Beginners!

[@russell6777]

I've fished steams like this and even smaller ones ,if you are prepared to climb over barbed wire , stinging nettles, and the risk of falling in because it's not clear where the bank ends ( I have) then you can catch some very impressive chub ,they have probably never been caught before and can be surprisingly big for such a small stream, although that stream is very likely to be deeper than it looks as I found when I fell in ,I'm 62 now so I don't do this type of fishing so much now as it pays to be quite nimble ,but can be well worth the effort,and odd sting

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Nice one Russel, I couldn't agree more too - sometimes jungle warfare is needed to get to the best spots! Haha.

[@fishingingermany6977]

Thanks for the video, Chub have been all that is biting for me here in Germany the last week, great to find new tips on it!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Happy new year and good luck for 2018! :-)

[@jaiwilson5507]

Was nice seeing you 2 at McDonald's drive through today, good videos lads keep it up!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Hi Jai! Haha, was good to see you too, thanks for the food!!! ;-D Thanks for the kind comments, glad you are enjoying the video's, perhaps catch you on the bank one day. Cheers Chris.

Good work guys. Excellent job of getting to that overgrown swim and I bet there was a good few mosquitos there too. (I keep a little bottle of insect repellent in my fishing bag) What a simple method with just the hook and the bait and sheer bliss to be fishing that river Wensum.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Cheers Mike, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. Haha... I think that some insect repellent would be a great addition to the tackle bag! ;-)

[@Argyll100]

Well explained and informative .. most don't take these things into account and it is so important for continued succes,next to presentation.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks as always John! :-)

[@1982Euphoria]

I so very much love the Wesum and how it looks and feels. I just wish those whiskery friends were still plentiful. Have some good memories of Lenwade. Maybe one day it will be restored to its former glory. Although I guess before the Barbel it was how it is now.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Graham, it is a lovely river! Such a shame about the Barbel... I'd be surprised if the river ever returned to how it was, but you never know I guess! Hope your fishing is going well.

[@tommyharrison5515]

I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

@Tommy Harrison instablaster =)

[@tommyharrison5515]

@Zane Ari I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@tommyharrison5515]

@Zane Ari it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@owenpreece4508]

very helpful thanks

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Nice one Owen, glad you enjoyed and found it useful! :-)

[@sammason2188]

brilliant video lads. hi where abouts is this stretch of the wensum?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Sam, glad you enjoyed it! :-) It's the Billingford lakes stretch.

[@ItsBigJC]

From The Waters Edge TV I'm fishing just higher up on the free fishing side . Iv found a nice spot where I can see the chub and iv so far counted 6 and they are always there ! Iv hit one a month or so back which hit a good 5.5lb which wasn't bad for my first big chub 😊. I found when I caught it though that the fish were all quite confident away from the sides . Problem I have at the moment is I know where they are but where they are I cannot get in . They have been there for weeks in a thicket of over hanging branches and weeds from the bottom grown in . Any tips into getting them to pop out for the take mate ?

[@propersongs]

Informative video mate. Out of interest what size hook are you using?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Gareth, I think it was a size 6 or 8!

[@declangray9155]

great video lads very inspiring

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks Declan, glad you enjoyed it!

[@rdcarp249]

I am a beginner and I’m not sure what bait I should use. I am also using a float. Is that ok? Thanks a lot love your vids

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Float fishing with maggots is a great starting point mate! :-)

[@rdcarp249]

From The Waters Edge TV thanks, caught my pb fish!👍

[@tonyashton453]

Cracking video boys and King of the river the chubb what's not to like.Well done.Tony

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Tony and for taking the time to post them! Glad you enjoyed the video. Can't beat a bit of Chub fishing... I think we'll definetely be back on this stretch through the winter. :-)

[@EU-hj7xe]

The best, Good Job!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks mate! :-)

[@rjt4020]

Just wanted to let you know that i really enjoy watching your videos. Im down near Colchester & planning to do some river fishing. Do you ever get down this way? cheers Rob

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Robert, glad you enjoy the videos :-) We haven't fished down that way, no. I guess it's not that far from us though really... perhaps one day! Cheers Chris.

[@Fishwish]

Why on earth does this get 5 👎? This is proper content.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

[@aidanwiles2557]

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Yeah Aidan, both me and Steve do. :-)

[@footballedits7252]

Can you tell me where you were fishing please

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

It was the stretch of river at Billingford Lakes mate! Think it's £10 for a day ticket. 😊

[@tonyashton453]

Be lovely on a crisp cold December morning I may even have a crack myself.Tony

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Definitely Tony! Bit of cheese paste, something like that! Lovely job :-)

[@andrewpegg272]

great video guys as usual keep up the good work hope to see more in the new year that is the type of fishing I would love to do it's just knowing where to fish great work .

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks for the kind comments Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video. No worries at all, am sure it's something we can do more of in future! :-)

[@daniellegge149]

Another great video, any tench pole fishing coming up?

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Probably not this year now Daniel, but something we can look at next year! :-)

[@georgedayton3904]

Really good video, new pole fishing video out soon?●

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks George! Good shout, we'll see what we can do! ;-)

[@georgedayton3904]

+From The Waters Edge TV cheers, there why I started watching

[@fishingingermany6977]

also,... what kind of net is that? Link would be awesome, watching that reminds me of the stinging nettle I will be dealing with again in a few months from now,

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

I'll speak to Steve and find out exactly what net it was for you :-)

[@fishingingermany6977]

Thanks!

[@andrewpegg2436]

hi guys just another question can anyone fish where you guys fished if so where abouts where you and also where do I have to buy a ticket to fish there thanks guys keep up the good work

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Yeah anyone can fish there Andrew, it's the piece of river at Billingford. I think it's around £8-10 per day and you can park by the river. (There's a bailiff on site who'll collect the ticket money.) Hope that helps.

[@Daftboy89]

very good video, im gonna try this for the first time today :) we have some good chub rivers in sweden!

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it - nice to hear from you all the way over in Sweden! :-) Hope your fishing is going well and good luck with your Chub fishing, I hope you manage a few.

[@davidharvey5672]

really nice video. good information for anyone. Thanks.

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Cheers David, glad you enjoyed it.

[@KGB.83]

Big ball of weed he said! Lol Must've been high to think he needed a net for that 🤔

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Haha! :-D

[@1982Euphoria]

P.S I wasn't suggesting you were at Lenwade although I know where you are :-) still most barbel are gone. Good videos mate, anymore specimen perch ones coming up? Tight lines

[@FromTheWatersEdgeTV]

Haha, thats alright, no worries. It was a little further along than Lenwade! ;-) Fingers crossed we should be out for some more Perch throughout the Autumn months.

[@2006ninai]
