  • Finally, I managed to dust off the old flat cap, Carpathia cane carp rod and an ancient Mitchell 300!!!

    Haven’t watched the video yet I will watch later when I have some quiet time. I just came to let the ad play and click like. Vintage carping is the good stuff.

      @@thesweetcornkid266 I only use traditional tackle and your videos match my ideals closely.
      There are a million channels about sitting behind a bank of carbon and electronics, yours is much more interesting for me. Well edited also, you must spend some time on the opening and closing sequences. Long may it continue.
      By the way we're you ever on security at the dockyards?

      It really is! Love this place, not too familiar, but I know how to unlock one or two of its secrets when I visit. That's good enough for me.

    Really nice video thanks for sharing.. I used to love fishing this venue. It's so peaceful. About 13 years ago whilst fishing there I was packing up as dusk started to fall. Bizarrely I felt a real sense of urgency to leave , I can't explain why but as I stood up with my bag and looked across the lake I saw a young boy about 8 years old wearing Victorian clothing, black hat, jacket and waistcoat. I could see he was wearing shorts and was sitting with his knees up by his chest and his arms hugging his knees. I saw him for at least five seconds and then lost sight of him. .. never seen him again but I remember being really upset by the while affair. To the best of my knowledge and speaking to the chap I was fishing with nobody else has seen him. Anyway thanks for the video ..

      It's a wonderful place, and I'm careful not to overdo the visits, thus keeping the magic alive. I can see how the place could be a little eery. I find myself looking around sharpish every time I hear a twig break.

    Always delightful to watch an angler who so intimately knows his quarry, and uses keen observation, years of experience, and a sharp mind to outwit the wily carp! Not only so, but you have a wonderful way of conveying that experience so beautifully through great video storytelling. Kudos, and keep 'em coming!

    Your videos are so inspiring. You are continuing the Chris Yates tradition of absorbing yourself in your fishing and this comes across in every video. I'm also a Pompey boy who uses vintage cane and fibreglass rods coupled with my ever growing collection of Mitchell reels - I've gone back to how I fished when I was a teenager in the 80's and still have all the original gear I used. Hope I bump into you along the Wally in the new season! Just finished your first book and it was awesome, you are also a talented writer.

    Ah Stu that was absolutely lovely to watch these are the type of videos I associate with you and I do realise how much work that goes into making them from all the different camera angles and the superb editing to finish them off and congrats on the three captures by the way, until next time take care and stay safe my friend.

    What a shame that more people haven't had the feel of a cane rod under pressure all the way down to the reel.
    The clutch on a new Mitchell 300 wasn't any better than a 50 year old one. 10,000,000 reels that taught anglers how to back wind when playing a fish. I have 3 50+ year old 300's and 2 have clutches that loosen and the other tightens.
    If you don't reel in when the clutch is letting line out you didn't get line twist.

      It really is a unique feeling isn't it Steve. You've reminded me how nice it is. I shall be renewing my rod licence over the coming days, so a little trip to a local pool, armed with a Mark IV and a 300 is definitely in order. Watch this space.
