What Lives in The Abandoned Marina?

What's hiding in the boatyard that time forgot? Join me as I navigate this tricky water, get snagged in the weed a bunch, and search for the fish that live within it...

I finally went back 😳 Watch the new film here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bNiaF_mrGGeNE

[@WV_Edy]

The quality of these vids is just 👌

[@northshoreproductions3787]

Tom! These videos are stunning! The b-roll, framing, aerials, colours, audio quality, music choice, edit, and just the beautiful gentle flow of the story is all top draw. This is the closest thing I've found to a modern day Passion for Angling with the gentle authentic mindful feel you've created that just makes you want to be there with you. I think that's the biggest praise I could give. I can see why Carl employed you. I'm so glad that Gavin from Earlsdale Retreat (that we're staying near and fishing at next week) told me about your channel. If you ever do fancy a one off camera man to capture that b-roll for you (to hire another you😂) please give me a shout. Gaz

[@dylandestpern3783]

Fantastic video, Tom! I'm so glad I'm here from the start of something great. Your cinematography and editing are excellent. And your color grading is spectacular, makes the whole video for me. Keep it up!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Dylan! I just tried to showcase the atmosphere of the place, I hope that comes through the screen :-)

[@SnaggedBro]

This is so good! Well in Tom! 🔥🔥

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks guys ❤️ Your blanks inspired me 😘

[@philipleeson6616]

Superb performance. Be warned other fishing channels! This is what fishing should be about, anticipation, adventure, approach and angst. Keep it up!

[@tomwilshaw]

Wow!!! Thanks Philip, I'll do my best!

[@gmcgrath123x]

Bless the algorithm for sending me this video! One of the best fishing videos I've seen on KZbin.

[@AbsoluteFuckingRetard]

I don't even fish but this video got me hypnotized, like, it's just so well made: the editing, the music, the angles, the cooking. It's clear you put a lot of work into doing this, keep up the good work!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you 😁

[@boyygin75]

It's good but don't do the music. Nature sounds are music

[@markportlock5255]

Think the fact you got a couple of thousand subs from just two vids should tell you a lot about how good the content is! I loved the atmospheric element to this one and as many folks have said, you are certainly very adept at the technical parts of putting together a great video (which I’m sure are a huge amount of work that most of us won’t appreciate!). I’m not alone in hoping the part which follows on after “to be continued” arrives soon! Tight lines in your fishing whether you’re filming or not Tom!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Mark 😁 I really appreciate that! I hope to be back at the Marina some time in the few months, but I did manage to get out with Carl on the bank holiday which ended being a mad one!

[@josephquinn7356]

So glad I found your channel👍 you're gonna do great on your own (although you do look happy working with Carl!).

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Joseph 😁 I'll gladly keep doing both! Love working with Carl :)

The amount of B roll footage here has to be appreciated. Great job - subscribed

Cheers Jordan!!! :)

[@maiconleonard69]

The essence and rawness of what fishing is all about... success, failure and most importantly, the journey... paired with the mastery of videography worthy of being premiere at the Cannes festival

[@tomwilshaw]

😳 wow!!! Thank you so much! I was nervous to put this one out, there's a lot of not a lot, but I hope it was enjoyable to watch :)

[@andrewmacdonald5889]

Great video and I am looking forward to part 2. For info this place was never a marina - its history is way more interesting!

[@tomwilshaw]

Please do share!!! I would LOVE to know what it was originally intended for!?

[@tomwilshaw]

Oh my gosh 😳 That’s crazy! I’ve removed your comment to keep the place anonymous, but wow! Wow!!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll talk about that in the next film for sure!

[@visseman]

You're starting this channel off strong!💪

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you!! 😁

[@276tracey]

You are amazing.... your editing and content are the best .... The bit where you stepped out from behind tree and carried on as if it was so natural....you have such skill and vision....so looking forward to the next instalment of the marina fishing ... fingers crossed you get lucky

That's super kind Tracey, thank you :) I hope I get one next time too!!

Hi Tom, just found your channel through your adventures with Carl. So beautifully shot and editing and what a cool venue! New subscriber! Keep up the great work.

4:47 evenin primrose! sorry, couldn't resist 😉 cracking vid tom, excited to find out what lives in there... could be an unknown monster!

[@TeamCarpFishing]

Wicked video Tom, as a fellow creator, I appreciate the crazy amount of shots you captured to make this video all by yourself. Daunting to be honest, but man is the footage ever worth it!

[@tomwilshaw]

Haha, there's a reason why the fishing probably wasn't so good 😂 too busy setting up a tripod!! Thanks :)

[@tomwilshaw]

Love your stuff too by the way Paul!!! Would love to get out there and fish with you one day!

Hi mate grate video i live not to far from there and have fished it many times with my mate there is or atlest was carp in there it is just difficult to fish as lots of weed good luck and look forward to seeing you return to this spot

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks mate, I'll definitely be going back - I'd LOVE to catch a carp out of there!

[@ewancessford5496]

I loved your 360° camera video and this one just continued on from that... Love the editing of the film... It made me want continue watching and wasn't ready for it to end. Keep the videos coming, mate and hopefully the fish will give you the much deseved rewards too!

[@tomwilshaw]

Thank you Ewan! I hope so too 🤞

It’s rewarding to know the extra effort is appreciated, thanks man :)

Brilliant video deffo need to do more on there 🎣

[@tomwilshaw]

For sure :) I’ll be back!!!

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Brilliant video Tom I'd definitely recommend a weed rake and I'd also recommend regular pre baiting these two things alone have always kept me in good stead when fishing natural venues

[@tomwilshaw]

As we’re going into the cooler side of the year I’ll be getting on it! Definitely going to give both those tactics a go

[@MrLagerblad]

Looking forward to the next video

Yep, I hit the button. Rake a peg, as it gets Awsome results in my past attempts 😊

[@flappypaddles_]

Tom quit your day job as soon as you can mate and keep making these videos. This and your first video with the 360 camera are two of the most well presented and skilfully edited videos that I've seen a newbie produce. You come across as such a relatable and likeable person too. Outstanding work mate.

[@tomwilshaw]

That’s such a lovely a comment, thanks mate 😁 but I love my day job too! I’ll just have to try and find a balance.

[@matchfishingukraine]

Amazing video! Great job, the amount of work for 10 minutes video (filming, editing) is insane! You start to notice this only after filming a video by yourself.

[@tomwilshaw]

Self filming is definitely not conducive to good angling 😂 it’s tricky!!

[@matchfishingukraine]

​@@tomwilshaw Exactly, once I started to film fishing vlogs, I noticed that I am drowning more in cameras and editing rather fishing. So I said to myself you are a fisherman, not a pro camera man, and mediocre image should be enough :)

[@wychwoodmcduff7957]

Aw mate, gutted for you. Keep at it you’ll get that pike. Brilliant video. 👍

[@tomwilshaw]

I'll certainly be back! Cheers :)

I'm torn... If I click the subscribe button it will un-subscribe me and I'll never get to see the conclusion of this fishing trip and I really want to. But you said I had to click to see the ending! WHAT TO DO?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Really can't wait to see how this turned out for you. Have a good one! 😁

😂 Oh my goodness, what a pickle!! I guess, in this special circumstance, I'll let you off by staying subscribed.... Haha. Thanks for the kind words, I'll definitely be back there for more!

[@tonylocke3010]

Lovely video, even without a fish. Pity about the trains though- it would be a perfect spot without that extra noise!

[@tomwilshaw]

After the 52nd train going by you start to tune it out 😅

[@neilmerrick8533]

Great video mate and looking forward to the instalment, you could try raking a swim and pre baiting it few times before you fish it as it might give you a better chance

[@tomwilshaw]

Cheers Neil :) that’s exactly what I’ll do! I’ll certainly be back

[@ivanfojan8859]

Your videography (that doesn't feel like a word...) is incredible, mate. The fact that you're doing this solo is beyond impressive. My vids are absolute crap 😂.

[@tomwilshaw]

It's a careful balance trying to get the shots without the sacrificing the fishing, I think it was a little too in favour of the camerawork this time round 😂 Thank you for the kind words though :)

Thanks man! I’ll definitely keep it in mind 😁

[@theimpaler5034]

You don’t need to spend money on a rake you can weld one out of rio bars and put old timber saw blade’s between the rio

[@CharlieWatson-z5w]

Love your vids rlly inspiring and makes me want to get on the bank and do similar things

[@tomwilshaw]

Get out there!!

[@SEEKisTimGCarter]

Pretty interested in the mysterious story line, of you fishing this deserted little spot, that was a personal interest to you. To see what's in there or might be lurking. You possess an interesting blend of outdoorsman and yet contemporary techie approach. You really get out there by yourself - alone - and still use. Some of the today's fishing means to figure out what's going on there. Then you're right. This spot is a little mystifying itself. ( The weeds would drive me crazy). And you camping there really adds a cool angle, to those of us who are deeply hooked on the outdoors ourself. Yeah you've hooked you a newby. I subscribed. From the good old usa. [ Well that's a stretch .. lol ] Looking forward to sharing some of your adventures..... :)

[@tomwilshaw]

Thanks Timothy!!!! It was a fascinating session, so cool to learn more about the place - I’ll be back there soon!

[@Thefnaffnatic]

Great video - still have the rawness and basic skills that make a good video with obvious high quality recording and editing! You will be taking over Carl/Alex at this rate - they have not posted in a while😜- best of luck!

[@tomwilshaw]

Ha!!! That'll be the day 😂 Carl's got an awesome one coming out this Saturday!!!!

[@theimpaler5034]

What u need is a weed cleaning rake clean around 10m from the bank around 3 m wide berly for a week everyday then go fishing

[@tomwilshaw]

Agreed! I'm finally getting on it now the weather is starting to cool off and oxygen is better, hopefully an update coming soon!

The underwater camera is an Insta360, if that helps :)

I meant more for the b-roll footage. I have a fishing channel aswell over here in the states and want to upgrade my videography. Any chance you could tell me the regular camera you use?@@tomwilshaw

[@tomwilshaw]

Sorry for the late reply! Only just seen this - I use a Canon EOR R for my videos, but any modern mirrorless camera will get you most of the way there, and then the second piece of the puzzle is a good lens :)

Thanks so much!@@tomwilshaw

Whilst a Zig probably would present very well, I wouldn’t like to play a fish on one through all of that weed 😬 maybe with a drop off system for the lead…

[@MCDeltaTheta_BF1]

Great video, I've subscribed! - Maybe consider using a Chod rig with a light lead to make sure that you're always presented even if there's a layer of weed, I think that small fishing KZbin channel @fishwithcarl / @fishingtoutorials has a video on how to tie one ;-)
