Hi well during this lockdown I would encourage everyone to look on KZbin at fishing video's to increase your skills and knowledge. It is free to all and is a source of information to improve your fishing. So make a cuppa, turn on KZbin and learn Bill

Good idea Bill! I gave up on the TV weeks ago. Much prefer watching some of the excellent content on KZbin, and so many subjects available, not just fishing. Nature, Tech, DIY & Woodworking, Motoring & motor sport, the list is endless! ;-)

glad you mentioned mark at the end, more my type of thing, i cant be doing with youtube match fishing, i find it boring but each to their own. if i am going to a commercial which is rare and i want to try a method feeder or pellet waggler i might brush up on some knowledge but i find it very repetitive all giving basically the same way to approach the method in question

Hi, sorry to hear of your recent misfortunes, as the person(s) have no soul, they cannot be fisherman. I agree with your views on KZbin Fishing, in particular Winning Ways, I grew up across from the Wirral in North Wales, so hearing Jamie’s comments in a familiar accent is a double bonus and Andy May is just special. This vlog was up to your usual excellence but I cannot see why you put yourself down. I always check your channel first and I am comfortable to watch your vlogs with my youngest granddaughter, as your lack of bad language and positve attitude are a pleasure to see. Please keep up the good work and don’t fix what isn’t broke. Regards from Ireland

I’d like to ad I enjoy your videos for the simplicity, you you explain things well and incredibly clear and you don’t try push products. I myself mostly whip and very rarely short pole fish I do own rods and used to carp fish and sea ect but for me I don’t get much time so when I do I want to catch and catch nothing beats the buzz of a fish on weather it’s a monster or a few oz on a whip.

Couldn't agree more regarding the wealth of knowledge freely available on youtube. All the anglers you mentioned are educational with Jamie Hughes "setting a trap" mantra very influential to my recent trips to commercial venues. I also think there is some mileage in following a similar pattern for bigger fish on the more prolific canal venues. Interestingly for those with Amazon prime I discovered a number of old fishing videos that I've started to rewatch. The Billy makin canal video using rod and line to fish three swims with one rig gave me an acute sense of nostalgia and I will dig out my old 11ft canal special when the crisis is over and see how my side casting is going on , I might even find an original canal grey from some obscure take box just for completeness. Overall keep safe Bill and we all look forward to seeing you back on the bank sooner rather than later..

Hello Bill Sorry to hear about you losing your stuff and picture memories - after the horse has bolted but if you wanted a direct FaceTime or Skype tutorial on how to back up to pc or cloud happy to run thru with you - that is if you are not already aware - if this is of interest just let me know how to exchange contact details. Not after any fee or anything like that just to pay you back for the enjoyment your videos give me. With regard to viewing KZbin I recommend Chromecast V2 if you do not have a smart tv this allows you, as long as your tv has an hdmi port, to view KZbin and also things like BBCiplayer casting from phone, iPad or even pc. They are about $50 here in Australia - but let’s me see KZbin on really old tvs. Cheers Paul

HI well i use two sizes of the Sensas loop tier for most of my loops as it is so easy to use. But of course you can tie loops by hand and i do this when i need a larger loop. If you tie by hand make sure you use a figure of eight knot as it is strong. Have a look at my video "2 essential knots" if you are unsure. Bill
