[@neilmcghee1016]

Well done gentlmen! Great tto see you both having fun and of course sharing best practice!

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Many thanks Neil (we'll have to get you out for a try).

[@royredhead9257]

Couldn't agree more about resting the fish in the net for a good 5 minutes immediately after the fight, excellent advice that everyone should take on board.

[@cfour1]

Defo mate i ll start doing that as well

Cracking stuff, majority of my short sessions are between school times ,with odd evening session if I'm lucky, caught most of my barbel, including my pb, during daylight hours, impressive video chaps, tight lines, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Cheers Craig, glad you enjoyed it and good to hear you're catching.

@@FishingDiscoveries most definitely and thankyou so much 😀😀… tight lines and all the best to you 😀

[@PolakzKanałem]

Well done guys 👍👍👍nice barbel on day time 💪💪💪

[@fish4fun84]

caught over 20 on my first trip and what is still my pb, all in day time every 30 mins. i thought it was like that all the time but must of just been amazing timing for a big feed, it can be hard in the day but not impossible bit of rain helps for sure.

[@FishingDiscoveries]

What an amazing session!

[@jonboy-wv8jx]

Great fish care. 👍

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Cheers Jonboy!

[@Se7enUK]

Cheers for sharing, fish opposite there myself

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Nice one Paul! Glad you enjoyed this one.

[@jimladbrooke3833]

Just started fishing the Tidal Trent only do day sessions, 14 Barbel caught in three sessions all during daylight hours

[@eldoncollins7254]

Greatest venue in the country.

[@Accyboom]

What test curve rods necessary for the trent?

[@FishingDiscoveries]

I'd say somewhere between 2lb and 2.75lb depending on the weight of your feeder(s). 12ft an advantage also. Paul

[@madface669]

how do you manage to fish with 4 rods in same peg and not get tangled up????

[@FishingDiscoveries]

I feel like, if your rigs will hold bottom, you can fish different distances (and have some lateral separation) without getting into too much trouble.

[@johnfeltrup5562]

Great stuff thanks for sharing. Did you catch many bream on the session?

[@johnpearson138]

Many thanks 😊. No bream on this session but I’ve had bream in the area before.

[@johnfeltrup5562]

@@johnpearson138 I fished it at the weekend (10) and that’s all I had. Had one rod with maggots on in the day and it is stuffed with skimmers. Didn’t get a bite through the night. I’ll try the 6 ft hooklength and smaller bait next time. Cheers👍

[@tutts999]

Without doubt the best river in the country. 200 mile round trip, bit its worth a mileage. Good video, with some great tips.

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Nice one Tone 👍

[@petertomo95]

put them back in the net and rest them that way

[@johnpearson138]

I’d definitely do that if access to the water was a bit more difficult. Those fish were rested for a minimum of 5 minutes in the net after the fight - never had their heads out of water. The key is to allow the fish to recover from “oxygen debt” following anaerobic respiration during a hard fight. After a five minute rest in the net they’re only out for a very short time. The fish is supported upright in the river until it’s ready to swim off. Both those fish were very, very well rested and recovered and swam off strongly as soon as they were given the chance - they literally broke our (gentle) grip on them - if they weren’t well recovered we’d have been supporting them for a longer time until they were ready.

[@petertomo95]

@@johnpearson138 just thought it would be alot easier for you, personally find it easier to leave them in the net after facing upstream 👍

[@coam3708]

get the fish in ...wasting to much time fart arising about, net...cradle 🙄

[@lusty444]

I’m in my 60’s now and started fishing when I was 12.It’s incredible how angling has evolved in my lifetime.

[@FishingDiscoveries]

Thank you for dropping this message for us Rusty, I bet you've already accumulated some brilliant stories and experiences over your angling career so far. Paul

[@lusty444]

@@FishingDiscoveries All you had back then was a Bruce & Walker 13’ rod and a 9’ Ledger rod where you screwed in a swing or quivertip and a Mitchell Match and ABU 506 and you were good to go and that was state of the art equipment!
