LIVE MATCH | Matt Godfrey at Messingham Sands Fishery | Silver Fish League

[@MidlandAngler]

That was by far the most detailed completely consuming match and tactical breakdown I’ve ever had the privilege to watch . I don’t match fish these days I just watch all disciplines of angling to try and gain knowledge…. I’ve learned more in the time watching that than I have in years . It’s been mind blowing!!!👍👍👍thank you

[@michaelbarnes3015]

Mat is my favourite, well done matt and keep it up 🎣🙌

[@jonas_perchfishing9679]

Matt your my favourite Guru Member. The thinking behind your fishing and the eye for every 1% is shockingly good. For me your are one of the best in the world. I really love to her your story on a Fishing Gurus Podcast Episode. Well done from Germany 😉👍🏻

[@TackleguruTV]

Vielen Dank! 🎣🙌

[@richardsadler7158]

I'm the secretary of a small (ish) club in Surrey and we put a lot of focus on a scheme called let's go fishing. This is based on getting young people into fishing where we as a club buy them a small set up and have coaches teach during the holidays. These videos are great to refer to on the days as they hold lots of information which helps explain certain things. Another great video Matt 👍

[@jamessmith5543]

Top world class angler,just amazes me how easy you make it look matt,absolute amazing.

[@mikemartin153]

Best video I've seen for a while. Plenty of info keeping it simple and a bit of a laugh as well. 👍

[@bobfor4868]

Best live match video I've seen for ages.

[@TackleguruTV]

Wow, thanks! 🙌🎉

[@roberthaigh2612]

Brilliant feature Matt. Great explanations. Enjoyed watching your match progress. Excellent camera angles. Good to see the float go under. Love the banter. More please.

[@TackleguruTV]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🙌

[@stephenwilliams262]

Got to love Matts videos always plenty of information and loads of fun. Well done on the win mate

[@MarkMiddyMatch]

Fantastic video and my style of fishing. Which I've been doing for 48 years now I love it.

[@theandrewsfamily7352]

Hi Matt great video learnt a lot as only started match fishing in the last few years so it’s all quite new. Best venue I fish is the Kennet and Avon canal for getting loads of roach and skimmers local to me.

[@craigbirchall3748]

Messingham Sands is a great venue I fish as a day ticket. I love fishing for just a mixed bag of fish. I love to see the greats like yourself fish local lakes helps boost the economy and helps put places on the maps so others can have a good day's fishing.

[@Andy-pf7me]

Love this! Great angler and shows a huge love for the game,so funny he's pounding this lake but the guys on the far bank seem to be blanking big style 😁

[@geoffbacon69]

Fishing machine 👍 class, above the rest without a doubt slide on brother 👍

[@Chris16761]

Absolutely loved this Matt Thankyou for sharing it. Great watch

[@katieiveson4749]

Hi Matt Brilliant video and what a result. We take the kids to a selection of venues around our home . They are only just starting and the easier the better to get them into the sport . Well done again and we are looking forward to more videos 👌

[@garethevans6192]

Nice to see Matt go through the gears and into beast bagging mode ! Top class!!

[@thecrapangler]

Great Video. Makins Lake 5 a few years back you could never predict what the next fish would be. Great Fun. Slide on.

[@barrydulson1352]

Oi oi babby, just want to say mate what a great watch, and some awesome looking fish caught, my favorite place is holgan farm in west wales plus Weston pools, I’ve only really got back into fishing in the last 5 years and watching your videos has helped me change the way I fish, love your videos, keep up the good work to you and the guru team

[@TackleguruTV]

Glad they have helped! All the best! 🎣🙌

[@swisstony662]

Really enjoyed that Matt's like a machine 5 hrs of that I'd be knackered

[@rhinosroach]

Great insight Matt on the slightest changes that make the difference. I would love those rigs on my local but would have to put a bit of depth on 5ft in margins Oakland water Horseshoe lake. Tight lines for the rest of the league

[@paulgarner6176]

Well done Matt , you made that look so easy. Great result for you brother. Slide on big time .

[@johnrowbotham5054]

My fav place is the Bridgewater in Manchester. But now living in Australia, we catch a lot of small carp using those kind of tactics. Love the rigs to come down under. Top video as always and top pod cast. Top Northern lads.

[@thomashiorns1574]

Cracking result Matt, love watching your live matches, keep em coming brother...

[@Nodrog826]

Weston Lawns fishery, back pool. Must have 15 species of fish to have a go at. Perfect rigs for these pools. Great video full of thoughts and information

[@Deans8930]

Great result and a great watch also :) , well done matt that short rig would be perfect for my local catching f1s skimmers and crucians 👌. Look forward to the next one.

[@jamesrich1803]

Acorn Fishery, awesome silvers fishing. Loved this video, my favourite type of content

[@jayboy1810]

Very interesting watch ,don’t get the chance with my club to fish many silver matches, but bagging silvers when carp are shy have won me a few matches for sure.

[@carldyson9342]

Well done matt hope there some more live matches from Guru loved this one

[@TackleguruTV]

Plenty more live matches coming soon! 🎥🎣

[@roberthaigh2612]

These rugs would undoubtedly work well at Tunnel Barn which is probably my favourite commercial. I love fishing maggot up and down as you did today. You clearly outlined the importance of slopes, correct depths and accurate feeding. Thank you.

[@garyshipwright9311]

Brilliant display matt!! Great watch!! Love the goldfish mate.

[@jonswindle76]

That was amazing. I am fishing a winter silver league at the moment and am second. The next venue seems very similar and i hope that the tips i had will help me win. Thanks.

[@russshiptonangling6261]

Top class angling, and very informative video. Welll done Matt,.

[@Scootjescoot]

Nice watching this Guru video's, great fishing Matt.

[@mickstaniforth4498]

Different class excellent Matt. Going to try these tactics at Bramalls small pond Thurgoland. Tight lines

[@fishwithcarl]

This guy seems to know what he's doing... ;)

[@TackleguruTV]

He’s not bad is he 🤔😉🎣

[@davidlittle6600]

Sherwood Forest fishery in Mansfield, full of carp and F1s. Brilliant venue all year round. Well done on the win 👍

[@adamstoneangling3411]

Another brilliant video, very well fished Matt, simply the master at work, kept it simple and won!Would love these rigs for my local venue where there is lots of brown goldfish and proper goldfish, similar to Messingham with deep holes and shelves but you catch loads shallow in summer. Keep up the great work Guru! Adam.

[@paulsedgwick3195]

Matt, I’ve watched your videos of recent times. This is the first match of seen u fish , Very impressive slide on brother well done ❤

[@bigndaftfishing]

Great watching a genius at work. 👍🏽🎣🎣

[@deanstones6773]

Brilliant & loads of info 👍👍👍

[@neilpegrum629]

Heron Lake one of Marlborough & DAA waters has brown and gold gold fish to 3lb, and the fan tails don't have go, love the vid well done Matt.

[@kathryndavies8606]

Awesome video Matt! Never fished for crucians prior to white acres and to go on python and catch them shallow on pellet was just mega, what a venue 🎣🎣

[@seanstorey7337]

Great video carnt wait to see you on the mighty River trent again

[@williamrobson7094]

Hi Matt some great tips very appropriate for fishing on my favourite venue, Monkhall fisheries near Bridgnorth.

[@colincowley5890]

A great watch, loved it, more please 🙂⭐️🐟

[@TackleguruTV]

More to come very soon! Who else do you want to see on the box? 🤔🎣

[@carassiuscarassius140]

Congrats Matt! More of this kind of thing pls. I’d love to get my hands on those rigs - probably wouldn’t use them but keep em as a bit of a trophy 😉 My favourite venue: Bury Hill’s Milton lake, full of pure-bred crucians that are a lovely challenge on the pole. Totally different game though. Sadly don’t get to do it very often any more (too far away)…

[@mikepattinson3285]

Great video catching a variety of species exactly what I enjoy doing at my local club fishery at Mirehouse ponds in Whitehaven, West Cumbria. It's great when the float goes under and you've no idea whether it's a small gonk (gudgeon) or a 6lb F1. But catching a net of Crucians is special.

[@FISHINGMINTY]

Favourite venue at the moment is Hednesford pools near Cannock Chase, fish not quite as exotic as the goldfish you’ve got there but full of 12oz carp / tench / barbel stockies. More similar to where you are and my next favourite is Pipehill Fisheries in Lichfield.

[@nigelmiddleton2727]

Brilliant interesting feature Matt , makes a nice change from carp bashing videos. Would love to try those rigs out on the Sandmartin lake at Lodge Farm, maggots are the only bait I take there, summer or winter, brilliant Ide fishing, plus loads of carp that love maggots. Looking forward to your next live match feature 👏👏

[@steveknowles9772]

Great video, great result well done Matt.

[@martinwood713]

World class mr godfrey not very often you see a ginger catching a ginger (instant win) Superb vid talking the whole time explaining every second and every decision very easy to see why you are where you are think mr rooney is very lucky to have snared you for the guru team 👏👏👏

[@TackleguruTV]

Ginger catching a ginger 😂😂👍👍

[@new-beginnings-fishing]

Another great video Matt I go to a pond called woodhead stoke on Trent it's full of f1 carp and there's only 45 member's..I'll give your method ago as it's silver's mate next week..thanks for the tips

[@abbey_cutting_fishing220]

Loved the video lads well done on the win I don’t fish anywhere with brown gold fish because I live well up north but had some great days for f1s at Edmondsley pond at Durham 🎣🎣

[@markgallagher3409]

Great video mate, and well done for winning the match, my favourite venue is mill barn canal lake, its full too the brim with f1,s and skimmers ,plus some big dog roach, I fish the short pole with maggots and casters , tight lines thanks

[@georgehealy8350]

Matt's fishing speaks for itself but Toby playing a blinder here. Looked fantastic. Well done team 💪

[@TackleguruTV]

Very kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! 🎣🙌👍

[@SpiritFishingCianjur]

Good job, smart fishing Matt 👍👍

[@00markelliott00]

Class as always. I’d love the rigs. I fish a local pond full of this type of fish, including the neon goldfish 😂🎣❤️

[@markboyer4221]

Superb video.. brilliant insight on swim management.. 👍👍👏👏

[@peterwallington7973]

Great video! Seeing how a great angler’s brain thinks & reacts. More of same please.( featuring you of course!!!!)

[@grahambuckley4670]

Different world top class fishing and video it was like I was sat with you. Would fish your floats at Bradshaws fishery. Please keep them coming

[@silviustoica1544]

Hi Matt! Lovely fishing, I have a couple of venues where I do this kind of fishing which reminds me of Europe but my favourite for silvers on the pole must be Barston

[@aidyml83]

Great video….and well done! I recently joined a club in the north west called Fylde angling society and their ponds are stocked with many different species of fish…I would love to get my hands on those rigs to try out. 👍

[@topfuelteddy]

Thanks Matt and guru , so good to see a angler of Matt's calibre admitting to not being accurate throwing by hand .No overnight oats 😂😂them floats would would be a great addition to the few I have please .

[@colinwalker2465]

Great video Matt well done to win. I fish for these at weston pools great venue for them

[@garryhudson8384]

Like a thoroughbred race horse. Simply class.

[@micktaylor6145]

Great video and I have learnt loads, both rigs would suite my fishing at local lake 5 foot deep for skimmers, cruscians, roach

[@garyshipwright9311]

Love single maggot great way to fish on my local lakes catching f1's and silvers at s/farm .great result on match win matt👏👏well done

[@marcuscommonsangling6707]

My favourite venue for catching crucians is newlanads farm in Hampshire! Not only do they go to 2lb plus the colours in the fish there are just insane!👌🏻

[@jamesasplin3983]

Aldercarr lane fishery for a lovely mixed bag on maggot tactics 👍 think matt should do some videos with mr scholey again, baggin bros used to make me chuckle 👍

[@markbesant8762]

Great video thanks. I’d like to try those rigs at Bridgeview fishery just outside Lichfield in the midlands. Very similar venue with a wide variety of fish on the maggot. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@paulgregory7359]

Awesome MATT, well done pal

[@oliverorourke9442]

Hi Matt I love watching these live matches. I fish a lot a Gawsworth and average about 1.5lb bream.

[@majmat]

Tripp is one of my favourite ponds at messy sands because you never know what will come out next, i've had 200lb mixed bags mostly on paste , i'd even fish paste in the winter there. I prefer the deeper pegs 1 to 25. Little swan/new bit is another cracking lake with some nice islands and a sandbar to chuck a bomb n pellet or a method for carp and on the bottom you can get a skimmer a chuck.

[@breakingthecut.8853]

brilliant video. How do you change a hooklength so quickly! my mainline loop is a pain to open to pass the new hook through. help!

[@glenncoley4748]

Great video Matt. My venue for lots of bites any time of year, is one you know- Riddings Fishery. Slide on...😉

[@chrisslater6681]

Great video Matt and Toby, would use these at Cooper's lake on some massive ide. I need as much help as possible at the minute, bad start to the season 😭

[@Jorg_fryslan_fishing]

Nolderwoud in the netherlands is my favourite commercial fishery full of f1 and silvers and a nice carp population

[@mickbrown7823]

Awesome fishing Matt. Can really see how important it is to get the rig in so accurately, and hit those little dinks. The fishery I get most of my F1 sport is calling Beauchamps near Rochford in Essex. Problem I have is it’s overrun with tiny Rudd and fishing maggots is suicidal. 4mm hard pellets do the trick though 😉😉😉. Don’t tell the boys 😂😂

[@antrog1895]

Someone told me the overnight oats are next to the hot milk (cereal aisle) 🍺🍺🍺 Great vid interesting how feeding is key and things can change over the course of a match. More of these please.

[@robertstibz9506]

I know of nowhere near me where I could catch like that, retired old bloke from near Heckmondwike, great to see though. Well done.

[@davidfarmery4577]

Great match good section win my plase to go and catch fish like go!dfish crowes and all the fish you where on about is just across the road at Messingham grange thight lines

[@rogercunningham9818]

Summerhayes catching crucians skimmers tench but no ide or f1s in the lakes.congrats on your win.

[@barneydog8479]

Great video lads we catch little f1's which count as silvers at landsend fisheries in Somerset 👍

[@IamRichAng]

Coppice lane fishery bottom pool catching ide and F1's on maggot - love it !

[@scottreynolds1428]

Hey Matt what a day.slide on brother Love watching with my kids and talk tactics. Then we head down to White House farm in Lincolnshire just down the road and try what we learnt from you. Keep it real brother tight lines ❤

[@robertwalton2391]

Reepham fishery, bungalow lake. Same methods and lovely days fiahing!!

[@alansteventon5061]

Woodland view flying skimmers great video 👍

[@andyhill8236]

Brilliant video matt would like to win the rigs unfortunately the venue's I fish wetlands springvale and lakeside don't contain either f1s or brown goldfish but would help for ide and baby carp so it's finger's crossed

[@AdamyannJones]

Im afraid theres just too many good quality venues to pick just one fave place, but any day im sneaking out barbel and tench amongst the carp and f1s, im chuffed tbits

"The video was very enjoyable to watch. I envy such a fish-filled fishery. I have fisheries with similar fish, but not as many. I could use such setups to try them out in Poland, at the Bonarka fishery in the center of Krakow."

[@kevmiree268]

Great video live match matt ad use them at Aston ponds fishery keep these live matches coming pal well done on ya result 👍👍

[@davidish43]

Well done Matt my type of fishing love lindholme maggot fishing up in the water for f1s

[@johnstead2584]

Now I know why he represents Barnsley/ England, class act 🎣🎣🎣

[@marcharley6465]

I don't fish matches and only fish pleasure sessions. I always do everything I can to avoid leaving a hook in a fish. Seeing Matt deliberately pull to break his hooklength on carp he didn't want to catch made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Any comment on this ?

[@catalickconverta6823]

Cuz there wankers with no care or brain

[@topfuelteddy]

Would like to know how Matt changes hooklengths so quickly ? , I can never get the loop to open up.

[@ChrisJackson-tv2rj]

Matt - great performance. There will be many a top angler watching this and thinking “oh my word.”. Rita Ora will watching this - and be donning all the gear for you. Crotchless waders and all. Simply brilliant Guru. Love the venue. Been lucky to fish it a couple of times in club matches. Smashed Matt’s weight to bits - But carp were allowed! 🐳😂😂😂😂 Maybe Matt is the man to take on the mighty Ringer! That other bloke just couldn’t cut it! And well done Toby for keeping up with the Ginger-Speedster. 🐳🐳👏👏👏👏🥰

[@TackleguruTV]

Amazing response! 😂👏 Thank you! 🎉
