Nice one, we've seen some changes in that time and not all for the better! But as you say we can always escape to the bank 👍🎣

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

Cracking looking swim haven't seen a swing tip for a very long time 👍 tight lines mate

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Thanks 👍A throwback like myself 🤣

[@anotherangleUK]

Thanks for sharing this video, I have still got an old rod with the screw fitting in top ring and a couple of swing tips. I'll give that a go again sometime.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

I had to adapt some modern rods as they are very hard to get hold of. Give it a go pretty resistance free and can be very effective in certain conditions 👍👍🎣🎣

[@James-bristol]

Haven’t seen a swing tip in years ,classic fishing style

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Remember it well huge fish

[@tonycamplin8607]

Makes a change to see real fishing on a natural water, not on a fish a chuck commercial. You were lucky with that drain to have such a good flat bank to fish from. Most drains have near vertical banks. Bad luck about that flow, drain fish don't like a moving bait. Incidentally I've lived and fished in the Fens, near Benwick, now for over 60 years, nearly a local!

[@rogerstanton8192]

Knew it well in my youth. Been in Australia for years but could go back tomorrow if i could find a workable tardis !! Spot on about the flow.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Not as good as years gone by( but then not many things are). Do you fish in Oz

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Only around the corner from you at Pondersbridge. I've only been up here 20+ years but have always travelled up from London for the Pike since the late 70's

[@tonycamplin8607]

@Fishing4Pleasure Yes it is. I only live about 80 yards from the old Nene and I can be fishing within 10 minutes of leaving home, that's walking to the river. Because I know all the farmers near me I have access to many drains that aren't usually fished. Very lucky aren't I? Thanks for replying.

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Well you got me beat my walk to the river Bain is 600m 🤣 and thank you for taking the time to comment 👍🎣

[@ryandoherty6174]

Good, honest video. You've got a great choice of waters. Do you fish when it's roasting hot?

[@Fishing4Pleasure]

Sometimes! The Rudd love those conditions but sadly during this hot spell I'm on 12hr nights 🤣

[@ryandoherty6174]

I failed at nights!, I could never sleep, especially in the heat!
Look forward to the next video 🙂
