Ben, have you thought about running a followers social at coking and imparting you knowledge to us all face to face - would be a great weekend and you could fill the van with Steamies bait and sell it to us all lol
@@Chrispi63 hi Chris , your not the only one to ask that , it’s something we might do nx year for the people who have subscribed, if you need anything from steamies fella go on the website there doing really good deals at the moment 5kg of boilie of your choice with free delivery
@BenOconnor-xv8kx if you do one put my name down. I used Steamies bait way back when I won some at at Stoney and Friends charity event - Tuna and Cheese if I recall and they were brilliant for Barbel and Chub on the Wye. Must reacquaint myself with them as you are showing how effective they are.
@@Chrispi63 yeah I will let you know wen we will do one , yeah it’s a great bait and certainly catches plenty of fish , have a look at the website mate
@BenOconnor-xv8kx it might always rain on you mate but the carp gods were certainly shining down on you. Really pleased for you mate , deserved every ounce of it . Keep up the good work 💪💪🏆🏆🏆
What a session !! Well done mate! I can only imagine how you must have felt when the scales went round to 50lb, effing brilliant ! And that 34 lber was stunning. I’ve got a delivery of tnt & kbw arriving tomorrow ready for Sunday when Im on Oak for a few days, can’t wait 😁🤞🏻
Hi Ian , thanks for the kind comments really appreciate that , yeah was on cloud nine with them fish , yeah the 34 was a belter , good luck on your trip on oak , you certainly got the right bait , let me know how you get on 👍👍
Hey Ben, just back from Coking, peg 27 on Oak, had two pb’s, a 25lb 7 common, and 29lb 14 mirror, both on TNT, also had a 23lb mirror on TNT and a small cat on KBW. Great session, I caught the two pb’s on a basic rig similar to yours, thanks for the tips, will try steamiest on my local lake, can’t wait ! Tight lines and keep the videos coming 😃👍🏻
Hi Ian , I’m so pleased for you on your pb that’s a great result fella , and now you have tested the bait for yourself and I’m pleased your happy with it , great result mate , big well done 👍
Hi mate , thanks for the kind comments , if you online there are loads of different ones , but the drennan ones are good all good tackle shops will sell them

well done be nice to see u putting the bait in like u say and showing the video of them feeding as ive read lot people slating u latley about not being here on weekends when u post pictures everyone reposts pictures of the fish theyve caught its something u got to do when yr promoting a team or bait fuck the haters but my opinion is u show from start the bait goin in ect ect to them feeding to the actual take and landing all on video cant be no one questioning it then i know few boys on meadow and all had big lumbs out but all say small baits not much feed ect u do good videos but just looks like leave out some things which u say u do ? could it be true could u just b promoting the bait company well never know 👍
Hi mark , glad you like the video and thanks for the kind comments, unfortunately you will always get haters in carp fishing especially wen you catch carp , the reason why they do this is because my states this year alone are 1 x 50 7 x 40s 28 x 30s Not including loads of 20s , let them hate it’s just jealousy, I enjoy my carp fishing willing to help anyone , everyone is welcome in my swim if people wanna learn , think people have forgotten that carp fishing is fun and enjoy it
@@BenOconnor-xv8kx can’t stand the haters dont get y someone would lie bout things i personally say how i catch what i use show the rig bait ect when asked ive help few lads on oak catch while im still learning myself every trip 😂 nice to see the fish come out shows just wats in the lake im currently in peg 67 had one in 1st 2 hrs mon then 61 decided to spod out everywhere even spodding 6pm then had call matt down late afternoon said they had a snagged fish on the island matt had take boat out disturbing all around the place to find no fish just snaggex up hook on the island 🙈 and looks like fish are just eating the fry off top as rolling over bait just not goin down anyway keep it up hopefully bump into you one day on either lake 👍
@@markmorgan9062, unfortunately mark it’s part of fishing , it’s jealous that’s all , there are 3 none very jealous people that fish meadow and I’ve taken them of my social media , just keep catching that’s what makes us happy , big well done on your fish I see it on the group stunner mate , 👍👍
