Basic Paste Fishing - Does it Work on a Natural Water

I wanted to see if Paste Fishing on the pole would work on a natural venue, so I went down to a local venue to give it a try. Watch the video to see how I got on.

Went on a 3 day fishing trip with an old school friend of 55 years. Made my own paste and could not go wrong loads of silvers then a 13 ib 10oz common popped along made my day!

Nice one Phill.👍👍

[@BobKirk50]

Another good video and for someone like me that have not done much paste fishing is a great help

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Bob. I think I might do a follow up with some more paste, but also with a few alternatives to see how things go.

Nice Video Den.👏👏

I use a paste around a small wafter using a light bomb rod 🙂

[@FishingwithDen]

Yes. That's something I want to have a try with too Barbara, although, I don't have any wafters, so it might be with pellets.

[@scottpardoe6349]

Shot is absolutely vital in my opinion den. I always shot it so the float cocks to the base of the bristle. My reasoning for this is as the float is buoyant without shot it's going to naturally pull out of the paste. Having some shot to neutralize the buoyancy helps this. Another trick this helps with is the biggest carp aren't always caught on mammoth pieces of paste, quite often just enough to cover a size 16.

[@FishingwithDen]

I did try shot on a previous aborted attempt Scott. That's how I knew how much shot the float takes. Having tried both, my personal preference is for the no shot method. I didn't have any issues with the hook pulling out so I think we might need to differ on this one. I do agree with you on the size of the paste though. I need to do some more research on that. I might try a tiny piece of paste on a normal rig soon. Hopefully, I won't foul hook so many.

@@FishingwithDen can't argue with that my good man, great at video as usual den. Look forward to the next one. Tight lines mate

@@scottpardoe6349 You too mate.😁😁👍👍

[@Offcut55]

I 3d printed some open-ended cones for paste seem to have worked quite well I often put a pellet on as well so if the paste has fell off, I still have a bait there for them?

[@FishingwithDen]

Interesting point. Thanks Phill.

[@johncaven8170]

Also if having trouble with your paste not holding on use half of a Biro spring turned down the shank through the eye of the hook........ sloppier the better.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks John, but I'm not sure I want to have a fish swallow the bait and ingest a spring mate.

[@johncaven8170]

No shot down the line.....use a small piece of tungsten tube right below the float so when bait comes off the top of the floats body pops up.

[@FishingwithDen]

I remember Andy Findlay doing that at the Glebe John.

[@peterream9437]

We used paste years ago didn't we....not on the pole ...Cheese paste for winter chubb

[@FishingwithDen]

Yep. Cheese paste for Chub was one of my go to methods way back then Peter.

[@peterream9437]

Works for barbel too, although not had chance to yet...The Trent is like the Amazon on our wks section..no slacks..too high

[@barbaraneville5036]

@@peterream9437 I watched a video of the Trent a few days ago Chap was actually casting to the spot he usually has his rods set up & he had to retreat as the water still kept rising

[@peterream9437]

@@barbaraneville5036 If he was on the tidal stretch then yes it does rise and fall a few feet. Where I am it only just rises a small amount..
Wide and shallow, but thundering through..need a car battery to hold bottom

Yes it's a shame us river anglers lose half of the season to floods ,it's time the river season was sorted out .​@@peterream9437
