Just fantastic, brilliant drone shots. Thanks for doing what you do.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

Finally some surface fishing , great edit !!

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Thanks James great video. Being an old new Angler its the best way to fish for me.

[@pezzpezz7272]

Another banging masterclass, really enjoy James Armstong’s stuff on Cypography. 👏👏

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Thanks Pez that will all now be going completely free on my own KZbin channel 🎉

[@nickjonespt784]

Really nice to see…..a small water to start……light rod, cork handle, one rod and a screaming clutch…so exciting 👍 As someone who only fishes small waters in the UK (mainly because I am serverly sight impaired), i find this so much better watching than a big bowl in France.

[@1991barnz]

Superb Masterclass Jimmy! 👍🏻

[@grahamwebb1367]

haven't fished in 17 years since my spinal injury used to love summer at the lake side taking carp off the top used to use dog biscuits i miss it alot

[@1DreadedAngel]

I love how Korda have put a pinch of Vaseline in a small jar, quadrupled the price and gave it a fancy Korda name 😂 🤦 wicked vid and i love the drone shots. Even though I've been surface fishing for 20 years or so i still picked up some tips from this vid so thank you for the upload😊

[@crayzeewhorse]

Hey, just discovered you today, as was looking for some surface fishing video, as went at the weekend and have no gear for it, went carp fishing on the bottom, but there were alot on the surface. Awesome video and really like the fact you show some that got off the hook, so we know it's just not us losing fish, alot of these videos never seem to show losses so commend you for that! New sub right here! Thanks

[@Bunny3261vr]

Boom what a master class your the best James Armstrong 👏

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Cheers man 🕺🏼

[@normannorris3642]

ihave not tried floater fishing before, but after watching your video, I will give a go as the fish near me are on the surface in this current hot weather. Thanks for your guidance.

@@Jimmysgonefishin You're using a Guru Pulse8 line in the video but when I google it, it looks like it's a sinking line? Or is it floating?

[@jasonhicks78]

@Jimmy’s Gone Fishing - By James Armstrong your very welcome mate 👍

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Nice video guys!

[@danielwood8864]

do love surface fishing, and the tactics/methods used by james down to the knots and methodology of the whole vid is how i fish and have done for years.. did 6 hours yesterday, all 5 from the top, smallest an 8lb with two 12lb's, a 15lb and a 17lb.. the visual aspect makes it so exciting, just waiting for the bread to get sucked in and... boooom! fish on! agreed the wildlife can be an issue.. either chase or shoo them away.. or go an bait up somewhere else for the birds!! bags on bird seed can be good to keep them occupied as it goes down through the layers

[@maaccc0208]

a great floater and zig water with some huge carp to be had, and theres plenty of big commons in there , the 33 was a small one... great watch

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Very true! 🎉the surface thirty was the target though. A big fish off top

[@SiSiChi44]

Absolutely cracking video! Going to be heading out this weekend with my nan to go back to the lake I fished as a kid, been 15 years since I've been there and even though I've got my new pellet waggler setup to try out, still going to have a rod set for free lining bread as that's how I started out and its by far my favorite method! 😁🎣

[@daleabbott85]

Top work jimmy lad

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Nice one Dale hope you’re good fella

[@AVFCWattsy]

Love surface fishing my favourite type of fishing, cant beat the excitement watching the carp taking the floaters around your hook bait before nailing yours. Look out for the bird life tho they obviously love a floater

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Topman!

[@dznce7723]

lovely lake fish here nearly every week and there's some beautiful carp in here as well as 2 sturgeon.

[@CARPGURUS]

Great video, I use the largest interceptor tho always as it helps with hooking and has never caused any issues.

[@KordaTV]

Fair play... as long as that works for you and you're catching more carp. 👍🏼

[@CARPGURUS]

[@catalickconverta6823]

9:54 i do the opposite i cast my hook bait out first then wait for a take if you throw to much bait out less chance of your bait getting nailed first made that mistake to many times and learned

[@jamesbricknell310]

Loved this masterclass. Maybe even my favourite so far. I was surface fishing before it was popular and now it’s a little more trickier on busy waters. I definitely picked up some tips from this so Thankyou. Jimmy really is a top notch angler and a really good guy to boot.

[@lukeharrison9109]

Great video got a lot of tips from it. Do you ever find that the carp go for the float? The lake I take my 9 year old daughter to is very un fished and shallow. The carp seem to come up touch the float and then don’t go near the bread hook bait. They take all the free offerings. I reckon that’s got to be how we are presenting the bait?

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Now and then buddy!! 🎉

Hi James, great masterclass - loved it! How do you deal with birdlife when fishing open water at range? I've seen others put a "washing line" across the swim into a far margin but that isn't always possible

Really appreciate that Neil 🎉

Give me a cam I’ll show u how it’s done Armstrong is a clown

[@Carpfishing4400]

There's no better way to catch a carp in my opinion. I smashed my pb on my last session a couple of weeks ago fishing mixers on the top. Bang on 44lb and a new lake record mirror 🎣👌

Why do most pros used micro bared hook? all the ponds I go too they are not permitted

Requires less skill

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

@@mastodonseven not really lol

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

IMO they stay in better especially on weedy lakes.

[@mastodonseven]

@Jimmy’s Gone Fishing - By James Armstrong I'm open to learning something. But isn't it a matter of fact a bared hook stays in better and the actual whole "point" of them. So you can make mistake while paying fish without the hook coming out. What I thought anyway? I don't use them as I don't like the idea of causing unnecessary harm to the fish when ripping them out and this will result in me losing more, but i think its worth it as fishing is cruel enough. So I just look at it as an extra challenge and a little more kind. I'm willing to learn something tho

[@jb7s]

[@charleslines8518]

I enjoyed watching this but feel it's made for TV the situations you described are so unrealistic for commical waters the birds would not leave you alone to the point I have given up on surface fishing all it does it cause anger to other anglers, where are the ducks? Seagulls? 👍

[@declanscriggins5020]

Absolutely! It’s amazing how he’s got the whole lake to himself… 🤔😂

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

@@declanscriggins5020 for your information Declan, the lake was open as normal, and there were other anglers. No royalties here pal 👍as for birds…trust me there were hundreds of gulls, you just need to be clever in feeding elsewhere whilst you fish in another area

[@Jimmysgonefishin]

Totally realistic…it was full of gulls, I just fed them off a few swims down 👍it was as realistic as it gets. No royalties, no closed swims, I turned up and fished how I would do anyway. Cheers, all the best
