There but hard to track down in 90 acres of estate lake

[@mrw9513]

Another great vid buddy, some absolute gems of info for targeting them on the float. And love your recollection of the trips, makes me want to get back out ASAP. Best wishes and stay safe and well

[@drpaulgarner]

Thanks mate. Tight lines!

[@davidcook6614]

Thanks for that Paul. My local Stillwater napton reservoir in Warwickshire has a good head of Rudd I will use some of your tactics to try for the bigger ones

[@drpaulgarner]

Good luck David. Some lovely fish in Napton. Tight lines! Paul

[@gmanders7]

[@drpaulgarner]

Great stuff Gary. Glad you’ve found some Rudd. Tight lines, Paul

I'm a rudd Fisher man only go looking for rudd nice to no I'm not the only one. Don't have big rudd in Dorset but normally catch a 100 plus and any day I catch rudd is a good day. All the best Neil

Cant wait for this one.

[@justinvanschiak7447]

Great video ! I live in canada near the great lakes ten years ago rudd were introduced unnaturally through ballast water from ships in the welland canal. Now there is a healthy naturalized population of fish to 5lbs had a session other day 14 over 3lb biggest 19"er waggler corn.

[@drpaulgarner]

Wow, that’s incredible Justin! I’ve fished for carp around Washington DC in the past, but never in Canada, and never knew you had Rudd. Tight lines!

[@michealgillman7418]

Heard about these big Rudd in Buckland. I'm guessing you were fishing the big Pitt? It's closed now and been turned into a nature reserve. Shame I only live 1 mile from it!!

[@michaellyddon323]

They were a crazy couple of months on there Paul, Alan and I caught it right at the back end and missed most of the fun. I believe from talking to Scott, my 3lb 0.5oz was the last '3' the big pit did before they all just disappeared. There was another pit the other side of the cliff, and they were joined up at the diving club end by a large tunnel from the quarrying days. I often wonder if they all just moved off into there to escape the pressure?

[@drpaulgarner]

It was certainly a mystery Mike. I wish I’d joined the club and had a dive in there. Sure it would of been interesting from the stories I was told.

[@daniellee8003]

Incredible!!!!!

[@Thermopylae2007]

I just found a KZbin video which showed fishermen catching several huge rudd at a spot in Southern Ontario, the first time I've heard of that happening despite the fish first appearing in the province about twenty years ago. I will follow up, but it looks as though we might have great opportunities to try for them in Canada in the coming years. Tench are making their way up the St Lawrence and into Lake Ontario, so we might eventually find both species.

Hey Paul, Can't remember if i've asked already, but do you do any coaching? I'd be interested in some Pike coaching one winter but seems hard to find a coach for that :)

[@drpaulgarner]

hi mate, I'm afraid I don't do any coaching. How about having a look at the Pike Anglers Club website? They will often have a region near you and can probably recommend a coach. Cheers, Paul

[@andrewtate8303]

Very enjoyable talk with a Nice bit of info 👍. Are the Norfolk Broads any good For big Rudd these days?

[@drpaulgarner]

I think there are still some good fish about, but they might take some finding.

[@joshfisher221]

Trinity system is the only part of the broads worth targeting them these days :)

[@liamsheehan8767]

Is there many in winter

[@seandade6315]

Does anyone know what the British record Rudd.a member on my local syndicate had a proper old knarly true Rudd of 4lb 6oz on carp gear and was wondering if that getting close to it

[@drpaulgarner]

Hi Sean, it’s 4lb 10oz. So that’s absolutely massive! The biggest I’ve heard of in a very long time. Cheers, Paul

[@seandade6315]

Thanks Paul thought it must be getting close althu

[@seandade6315]

They very elusive fish and only spotted them couple times in 4 years in their shoal but certainly not the only big fish in thet

[@chrisgeorge4304]

Thanks for your talk mate. Keep them coming pal. Do one on chub fishing if you can please. My to favourite fish rudd and chub. Take care pal.

[@drpaulgarner]

Thanks Chris, will do. Tight lines! Paul

[@petersullivan8067]

Very Nash darling! Only joking, great video!

[@englandav1693]

Good vid mate if fishing not carping

[@drpaulgarner]

Thanks mate. Tight lines!

[@englandav1693]

@@drpaulgarner have you done any eel vids be good to see how you fish for them

[@michaelbiddle1959]

Really bizarre you saying about a cliff face, literally the first fish I ever caught was a 2lb rudd in tiny farm pond, every one fishing with me called me a jammy so and so but that pit had a massive 30 foot odd sandstone back wall, no saying there is anything in that but it's interesting none the less

[@devmurrau7487]

You have not show us how to catch big rudd, do you actually fish

[@Carbon_restoration_mx]

Bucklands has shut its doors completely to fishing now, he’s talking as if he’s caught these fish from the 40acre pit when in fact these fish are from the cut off match/pleasure lake of around an acre!!! Come on now, no point fibbing!!!!

[@michaellyddon323]

They were all from the big pit, there were a few caught by other anglers from the match lake, but almost all of the big ones came from the 40 acre.

[@drpaulgarner]

Hi Paul, for the record, they were caught from the big pit. I never fished the smaller lakes. I’d not heard the lakes were shut, that’s a shame.

[@Carbon_restoration_mx]

Paul Garner Fishing fair enough, yes I’ve been trying to get hold of them for the last couple of weeks, no answer on the phone and the website says they are closed to fishing indefinitely 😞
