I have only ever had one Barbel it gave me a fantastic fight I was using a 10ft avon rod with a shimano 1000 reel on 6lb mono, when I finally landed this beauty of a fish it weigh in at 4 1/4 lb and its still for me the best fish I have ever landed. Not a large fish by any means but what a fishing moment it made my day and it is yet to be bested.
@@bbpoisonn the vast majority of uk anglers fish for fun and care too much about the fish they catch to ever cause any harm to them. Learn to appreciate nature and how beautiful it really is.
Can’t wait to hit this river in June for first time been wanting to fish it since i was a kid when I used to watch total fishing I’ve actually booked a place with the river in garden for a week as I live in Essex myself
Quality watch,, des has let the cat out the bag, TG is cracking for barbel, I've had so many on it this year best being 14,8 on the W/A looking forward to getting my hands on some key cray :)
Lee osborne Try the carp cast website fella. they were doing 10k with pop ups and delivery for £79.99. It's the only place I know of that you can buy it before its release next May. Hope this is of some help to you fella. I can say it's a great bait to use.
Nice saturday afternooen entertainment! :) Never fished for Barbel (since we dont have them here) but it is most certainly on my bucketlist! Congrats on your results!
What a great video. The wait to get on that Severn next year is killing me. Des is one of them legends among men you would love to meet one day. Alan and Des together.......Great combination. And exactly what someone else as asked, what reels is Alan using? Love the look on them.
Don't use Carp gear for Barbel. Last thing you want is a tippy Carp rod when you have a 15lb Barbel going on crazy lunging runs. Better off with a cheap deadbait rod, through action and more likely to handle the 5oz of lead sometimes needed to hold bottom.
I think it showing us that if that’s all you’ve got then it can be done. Yeah having the right stuff for the right fish is always better tho. By the way massive fan the ginger fisherman and a avid follower of your channel 👍🏼
love barbel, favorite fish to catch, unfortunately only ever caught one =[ when i can drive planning on visiting lots of rivers for barbel, until then i guess ill stick with course lakes
Never been and don't live close unfortunately, but i will be putting it on my list of places to go =P getting a car is going to be terrible for me... so much petrol .... so many miles XD
Jimmy Gilbert there are plenty of nice day ticket stretches along the middle severn, des is from bewdley one of the best spots for barbel, highley is also very productive on a good day, the ship inn offer £5 a day ticket and slightly up you have Bert who allows night fishing at the same cost' perfect place for a barbel, google this ship in highley Hope this helps

Carp fishing for Barbel. How sad. Stick a big (massive) stick or Chubber through. Meat on the hook. (Hair rig for feeder). Hold it back or let it through… No skill in carp fishing for Barbel. It’s simply wrong.
wow its sooooooo hard to fish for barbel with carp gear! stop making it so hard for people, not science and any one will tell you that when there switched on they will bite all day long, just watch the chub don't suck you off first!

It’s always good to see mainly carp anglers going after other fish.
It shows that you guys can do more than just chase carp. 👍🏼
dont think ive ever seen alan so calm while fishing. great video.
haha im Polish and lucky to live in UK. ;) Don't worry I don't take a fish home. Great video
Top man
Good to hear. Perhaps you can spread the word to other Europeans
Paul M not to be offensive or so but tbh it’s stupid to fish if you legit NEVER take a fish home

@@bbpoisonn That's not stupid, it's law
Really great to see other fish caught on carp gear . Great video guy's

Very helpful video fellas. Useful too. Thanks for showing.

Great to see something different !!
I no
Beautiful video and fish!
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Excellent video and guidance - hope it works when i try it out
Des is a legend
Des drinks at the Hope and Anchor in Bewdley. They do B&B for anglers, too. Good times!
Nice saturday afternooen entertainment! :) Never fished for Barbel (since we dont have them here) but it is most certainly on my bucketlist! Congrats on your results!

Best Nash yet !
Great piece loved it
Awesome result, never caught a river barbel so a bit jealous lol
Beautiful guys, well done.
Great video guys. Love the rabbit and deer analogy.
Des Excellent Barbel man 🎣👍George in Stoke
Pity Des put his mate on peg 74 as One of my friends fished day before with 3 pints of maggots and had approx 70 Ib of chub to 6Ib and some barbel
Next week how to catch roach on carp gear
Notice Des is keeping his voice down, A river is different to commercials where they here a lot of noise, on a river you have to use "Watercraft".
When did des Taylor become worzel Gummidge?
I love des taylor he's a proper bloke!
I noticed that Des's fish number 4 looked as though it had managed to escape an Otter at some point.
Beautiful video 👌
really enjoyed that video
How do you feed the 10mm bolies by feeder or dropper or just throwing in upstream??
Ye mate was wondering the sane cus they will just get washed away in the current
Nice video guys, always wanted to give barbel fishing a go. What's the music playing at the end please?
Barbel ARE WARRIOR !!!!!
Just brought these rods in the same tc brilliant rods
Declen Gray Hi thinking of getting a couple of these scope rods for this type of fishing what TC rods did you get. Thanks.
Charming place.
its Fishingtime !!!
big up Al nice video as all ways. an big up des Kelly black Country aye it Mukka
Do those Boilies change colour in the water? The baits were Red when the Barbel came to the net.........
The first thing i noticed😂😂😂
Shame Nash no longer do TG Active :(
Nice video lads 👍🏻
great video! can you please advise what rods are bought of you using ?(model,length ,castig weight) thank you
What reels alan using ? top vid
Looks like Nash BP-4
I love chub. If i barbel fish i use an avon rod with centrepin. Not carp gear.
Is he using the 10ft Nash scope here? Wanted it for barbel at 1.75lb? Thanks
That stretch is at coalport run by rdass £60 per year best barbel fishing on middle severn open membership RDASS
Anthony Recci, not open anymore there is a waiting list now
In my opinion this stretch of river has become over fished since being promoted by the likes of des and in the fishing magazines
First time I caught my best barbie of 6 pounds.useing my Mava 12 foot rod...
Bosh ! Wicked!
I like The song very much. Can you tell me The name?
When is the challenge vid coming out
On the rong page you lad this is nash not fox

Gr. Video! Scope 1.75 or 2.25lb?
The fish is beautiful if it can be put in an aquarium..how can I get it ..? I am from malaysia..tq
this teaches us not to use carp gear for barbel haha

Why does it
Anyone know what the tune is that kicks in near the end?
Ace vid
What test curve are your carp rods Alan ?
scope sawn off 6ft 2lb or 9ft 3.5lb depending on the situation

Carp fishing for Barbel. How sad.

No skill in carp fishing for Barbel.
It’s simply wrong.
