Another cracking video and I nearly fell off my chair when I saw a Silstar reel! Thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it, yes what a superb old brand they were too and another that has sadly gone by the by. I use to have a couple of the old FX30s and loved them.
Lovely little video again great to see you battle and bully those beautiful chubb into the net.... Well done
Thanks Liam, summer seems a long time ago now!
Good fishing, great to see you back.
Great video, some difficult fishing! Good result, cheers Eliot
Cheers Elliott. Yes not straight forward but nice to get some eventually.
Nice one Mark.Nice to have you back.Tight lines.Steve
Thanks Steve 👍💯
Ultimate summer chubbing! I didn’t expect you to get a second chance in that jungle swim although the fish there are probably less easily spooked because of its inaccessibility. Great video as always.
Cheers Bob and agreed I suspect the same of it being fairly overgrown and a bit of a holding area. Suspect the water being more coloured than usual for there helped a little too. The amount of hemlock and hogweed I'm seeing since last season has definitely increased in my rivers, I presume due to such a wet winter and spring. How are you finding these poisonous plants on your rivers?
Hi Mark. I’m afraid I’m not sufficiently knowledgeable in regards to those invasive plants but what I would say is that the weed growth in a couple of the streams I fish seems to have increased significantly over the past couple of years. In some cases it renders previously tricky swims almost impossible to fish. There is of course the other issue of nutrients entering the rivers as runoff that could well be a factor in the growth of both native and invasive water plants. Generally speaking I’ve found that things have become more challenging. I’ll shortly be putting up a video from Thursday if you want to have a peek at one of the streams in question. I gave you a mention 😊
@@BobGoesFishing yes I think the increased sewage run offs haven't helped in thst regard too and I'll certainly have a viewing of the video bob. I have watched yours for a while especially the chub ones as I enjoy small rivers.
Well done Mark real fishing showing us how it can be done a good result especially with the water not in optimum condition tight lines for the future!
Glad to see you’re feeling better since you contracted that dreadful ecoli bug , I hope you didn’t catch it from in that river you were just fishing in. But glad to see you back out fishing.
Thanks Paul, agreed don't want another bout of that ❤
Great video as usual mate
Cheers David. 🙂🙏
Love it Mark! Great watch👌
Great video nice to see you back ! Looking forward to more videos 👍
Hi Mark, you have nothing to thank, we thank you for the wonderful videos where everything is visible in detail and the comment is bombastic. nice work
Really enjoy those jungle rivers myself,as always a lovely video documenting this style of fishing on our rivers.
My favourite video ever. Thoroughly enjoyed it Mark
Thanks Mark. Glad that you enjoyed it.
Thanks Mark! Great trip.
Thanks Paul!
I like these jungle sessions. Thanks for uploading.
You're welcome Sensei
Great video. Wholesome..I love fishing small rivers, but sadly never have the same success you do.
Thanks Chopper, I mean it can sometimes be a goose chase or tricky going.
Great return some quality Chub their my friend & just like me own fishing pure jungle warfare but it worth it that's where chub are so I'm their haha but well done Mark tight lines
Precisely Lee, sometimes you have to seek them out.
another great video Mark thanks - full marks for highlighting the safety aspects of wading mate!
wow,!! marks back again, brill, thanks so much m8 for taking us along on this trip. .loved every second, cheers pal!!))
Thanks Jon, glad you've enjoyed it. Many thanks for watching and best regards
Mark
good to see you back, Mark. that's a pretty spot. Watch out for them nettles, I always take a little spray bottle in case.
Thanks and I'm fairly immune to stinging nettles now but will say that there's still nothing worse than knee cap stinging nettle stings.. Last for seemingly ever 😂
Glad to see back at mark. Good job buddy.
Cheers mate, hope all is good with you and family across the big pond and your dog ❤
Brilliant adventure Mark, thank you for sharing.
Welcome Stephen ❤
Another enjoyable video. Angling in the purist sense.
Forget bite alarms, two rods, heli-F'in leads, super-duper hooklinks, bloody instant-hooking twigs and 360* hooks with mag-aligna 🥱.
How about just a split shot and pinch of bread to catch some lovely wild fish👍🏻
Cheers Luke and yup doesn't need to be complex 👍🙏
Great angling brother. Love these kind of vids. My local river is very similar to that. so much fun knowing that you've worked hard for every fish. Look forward to the next session.
OMG I thought I'd come across an old episode of the fast show!
hahahaha, plot twist you have! lol!
Out in the heart of nature, imbibing alll those healthy phytochemicals..
Immersive atmospheric high summer fishing..
No better place to be, albeit sans sewage would be nicer ❤
Hope your feeling better Mark! love the vids!
Cheers Phil ❤
Nice to see a new video mark ❤
Cheers 👍💯
Good to see you back Mark, glad you've recovered from your nasty bout of Thames Wateritis...
Some cracking Chub there... Nicely dangled Sir...👍😎🎣
Thank you ❤
Brilliant
Thanks ❤
Mark that was a very nice video indeed.thank you
Very welcome Sean and thanks for watching.
Some great angling from tight spots Mark. Good advice with the wading staff and sometimes a lifejacket if you don't know the stretch can give you the extra confidence to wade.
Thanks for the support Neil and well said regarding a life jacket too 👌👍
Well done mark brill vid
Thanks Darren 👍👌💯
Great vid! Quick question, are you letting it trot/moving it at all or are you fishing it still with the weight holding bottom?
I'm letting it bounce through
Lovely fish, Mark. I was out chubbing this afternoon, a frustrating session also on a small river. Smashed up twice in the first four casts, on 4lb line freelining meat under the rod tip. Presumably a very large chub or possibly a barbel that went off like a train. Then a pike moved in the swim, and was bitten off twice. Tired of leaving ironmongery in the fish, I lasted an hour and landed one modest chub. Hope to return with heavier tackle tomorrow.
Cheers mate and good luck for your return visit too.
@@markerd5378 Thanks Mark. The return was successful, they were barbel! Still under-gunned on a snaggy swim with 8lb line and 1.5 lb rod. Will go for hit and hold gear next time.
Lovely fishing real
Nice to see you back sir
Thanks mate!
Back like he never left 😏
You know it Fred 🎉❤
Hi mate what and where was this small river i fancy giving it a go
When wading does it pay to deliberately scuff up the river bed and then feed along that line? Similar to raking a tench swim?
Yes it can indeed help
Hi mate great video as always. Did you paint your Rod tip ? As I bought a couple of these rods on your recommendation, but they don't come with a white tip.
Sorry they come with a small white tip but not as large as yours
@@serioussmoke1123I think the newer models they shortened the white tip mate from what I can tell. Bit stupid really isn't it. No I haven't painted mine.
Cracking rods,have both the 5 and 7ft,also have a tiny 20
Marks fault 😂
@@martynamos5694haha all my doing but nothing like purchasing some extra fishing tackle 😅
@markerd5378 never enough mate
34mins in I don't get.
No matter how many times I rewind I don't see the bite!
Was u watchin the line or summat,⚡️
Yup mixture of watching line movement and touch ledgering.
Mark is a great angler and his videos are so good to watch, but I wish he would note the location. Fishing should be something shared, to be enjoyed by all. Why are people so reluctant to share locations? Especially as he is soooooo brilliant at describing the tackle, bait, loose feed etc. I thought it was only carp anglers that were overprotective....
You sound like you've spent some time around the Wasing guys 😂. But seriously I'm pretty surprised when people expect others to openly break open locations. What you see me doing here you can also do Jared, put in the time and effort..
