Well that’s going to make sitting behind two rods on the thames seem pretty boring. Love the expressions on your face when those fish playing you. Great stuff and once again very enjoyable. Now I had better find a good book to take with me next week lol😂
Thanks for watching Neil. Yes sounds enough to send me to sleep 😂 One thing i realised on this trip that everyone gets something different out of their own fishing, im a total restless fidget and get bored very quickly so active fishing suits my personality, i know i could catch a few bigger fish if i baited and waited. good luck on the old farther Thames.
Sitting there in the countryside is great for depression. Plus I’m a grumpy old sod who is more than happy with my own company and when one rattles off it’s often a lump of a fish
I used to use the plus and felt it was hard work and undergunned. I actually snapped it in half the last time I used it. I purchased the new acolyte specimen which is way better imo. Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it
I was on the Trent yesterday South of Derby....caught one chub. Wasn't really bothered about the amount. I was just so glad to get on the river bank after some 'stuff' going on in life.....As I type this I'm out on it again tomorrow.....can't wait...Let me at it!
Thanks for watching Stewart. Your right it doesn't really matter what you catch its just good for the soul and i find the flow of the river helps wash my trouble away. Tight lines.
Also not to be a knob or anything but I’d consider resting those barbel longer in that flow. They give up so much and really need a good rest so they don’t go belly up 5 mins later.
Thanks for watching. It looks as though fishermen having been wading there for quite a while and the Barbel in the Trent seem to be more prolific than ever? Tight lines.
@@MidlandAngler Thanks for watching., The Wye for Pike eh? I was quite surprised just how many good Pike I saw on the Trent. I will have to check out the Severn, Scunthorpe AA have a stretch at Bridge north
Nice one Paul, I've fished most of the main rivers in the country and the Trent tops the lot purely because of the numbers of fish it holds, shame we've not got 'proper ' rivers in our neck of the woods
Which part of the trent is this please as I have just got a scunthorpe book looking to do abit of chubb and barbel fishing. Looks amazing. Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching sorry to be a tit but I'd rather not say, as a You tuber i can get a pretty rough time about naming venues. I can confirm it is a Scunthorpe water. Tight lines and good luck.
It’s a great stretch of river there, so good for float fishing when you can actually get a swim. Do you think the Acolyte Plus handled the barbel well? I’ve just bought one and had barbel to 5lb, seems good so far.
Hi Mr Tim, thanks for watching. Yes its a great bit of water, myself and a friend went for 3 consecutive days and arrived each day around midday and always had a choice of swims. The acolyte plus was good for fish around that size, although i did catch a 10lber later in the day on a 1lb and 3/4 TC ledger rod and felt far more in control. If i was doing that sort of fishing all the time i would consider stepping up a bit but would still want a 15ft rod. Tight lines.
@@PaulVicaryfishing Nice one, I’ll keep the Plus as it’s a good chub rod on my local river, but may consider the Specimen for this venue. They really hang in that flow don’t they, arm breaking stuff 😅
Thanks for watching, quietly confident I was in Scunthorpe waters as the friend I was fishing with was in the 1st peg on the Nottingham waters. Tight lines.

Great watch, very enjoyable,have swims like that on the Severn (BAA). I would just step the rod up 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, I will have to check out that BAA ticket.
Wise words on the rod as well.

Good to see trotting on the Trent. Get down to the Wye, I've had some cracking sessions there. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Conveniently enough I have a weeks holiday coming up at Symonds Yat! Any recommendations of best areas to fish?
@@PaulVicaryfishing I fished more towards Hereford on day tickets - video on my channel. Your 'Trent" tactics were similar to those I was using.
Good video paul look like you got a good lot of fish
SO many fish! Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching. Yes it was brilliant
If only we had a river like this in Kent Paul.
Thanks for watching. Just have to have big boys days out!

Take care of yourself

All fish were adequately rested, I just edited those bits out of the video. You can see how strongly they swam off. Paul (video editor)
@@THEINSANESOCIETY That’s fair enough and thanks for clarifying.
School boy error leaving film on rod handle it will rott cork underneath
Thanks for watching. Everyday a school day. Didn't leave it on for any particular reason other than I didn't bother to take it off.
Tight lines.
Have a look at the acolyte specimen plus mate 🎣🌞another quality rod 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for watching.
I,ll see if i can try one out.

Scunthorpe need to address this wading on Barbel spawning beds.

More amazing action on the Trent. Whats the best river you guys have fished?
The itchen for grayling ..the wye for pike , the Severn for Barbel ....

@@clivelogsdon1492 Thanks for watching Clive, yes our local rivers seem very small in comparison.

what reel are you using ?.
Hi Ron, thanks for watching it's a shimano Stradic. Great reel and an absolute bargain at £30 on Facebook marketplace!
Tight lines.
Is that Scunthorpe. Amalgamated water ?
Yes it is Link below scunthorpeanglers.co.uk/
Wading on the spawning beds.
Thanks for watching and a fair point made.
Why not prepare meat at home and have no Sharp tins to take home
I normally do but I'm 150 miles from home and bought it in the super market that morning
You want to keep out of piscatorial waters
Thanks for watching, quietly confident I was in Scunthorpe waters as the friend I was fishing with was in the 1st peg on the Nottingham waters.
