Barbel React To Feeders! (Cage & Method)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Some of you may be wondering as to why i compacted the pellets soo tight into/onto my feeders. That is because every cast i had to drag the rig to be positioned in front of the camera, so i needed it to be though enough to survive getting dragged 4-5ft. Hope you enjoy. It was great to watch the fish interacting with the feeders on the bottom. Just itching to get out and catch them. Can't wait for the beginning of the season!
is it just me or did anyone else find the gudgeon facinating
dadsusingmyaccountsoi'llgraciouslylethim Much prettier than barbel. Could you imagine them getting up to 20lb!
Gudgeon the cute little bugger
Oh thanks for that, I knew those fish were familiar but couldn’t place them. We’re the much smaller fish minnows?
@@specdel Yeah
Gudge bin 👌🏼
Interesting footage. Would be interesting to see the same using maggot feeder too.
Great footage, they seem to know what the mono is 👍
JUST GOES to show they react to feeders like a cat to a bullmastiff,, i have seen footage where the line coming down to the feeder has the same effect with barbel carp and tench do the same tackle shy,,its back to the drawing board ,or long long waits will just get longer ,,
They definitely recognised the feeder as a threat (or rather a localised concentration of bait). They were more than happy to browse over the loose feed but as soon as they came across a clump of bait they immediately backed off. Was this filmed during the closed season? Not accusing you of breaking the rules as it doesn't appear that there is a hook on the rig but more just curious in terms of the fishes capacity for memory (i.e they can remember a trap that they won't have seen in at least a month)
TjDolHaus86 I agree. I think it could be the concentration of bait. They can see it and smell it but it's like they just know it's a trap as soon as they come across it. Very interesting.
TjDolHaus86 it’s legal to bait up in the closed season mate just no hooks allowed
Matthew Wooldridge I never said it wasn't....?
I think it was the nearby camera, and a general lack of interest by the cats in the bait he was using. Most didn't even give that bait a second glance. I don't think any ate it.
Lead. I've said it before and I'm saying it again it's the lead! It's like us sticking our tongue on a battery! Yes you might catch but it's always the village idiot and this is why carp anglers wait and wait. Ditch the lead!
great footage, the line and feeder are definitely a spook point👍
Long hooklengths and fluro leaders
interesting A pva bag that melts and a back shot that keeps line nearer river bed might solve spooking or was it the camera?
The method feeder was dynamite on the rivers a decade or so for barbel, I've had some luck with small bags of pva mesh but it seems the age old method of getting them going berserk over a bed of hemp and crushed up bits of anything never grows old.
Not a fair comparison,,, in the cage you had pellets,,, on the method you had some clag of white crap or something... How can you even think to compare?
Very interesting. The first time I observed barbel in clear water was a revelation!
I think they are feeding on everything but ,any of your offerings .
The barbel when see the method run straight away 🤣
Minows actually have some beautiful colours. Il never take them for granted again haha
I'm really happy I've seen this, it's clear that theone and feeder spook the bigger fish, a longer hook length certainly makes sense here.
Cool is there any hook bait on
Interesting. It just shows that you can fiddle about with rigs until you are blue in the face but you have to give them something they want to eat. Try maggots but prepared to spend two hours feeding off the minnows and gudgeon!
3ft minimum hook length with halibut luncheon meat n halibut ground bait n pellets in feeder with hemp seed 💥💥
The comments posted seem to me they did not attend school and do chemistry lessons,even ginger by slowing down the movement of the video is pointing to the line,this is not so!
very useful footage Chris, well done mate :)
great to see the mating colours on the minows, id love to catch one like that
There appeared to be no attraction to the bait whatsoever! Not sure what flavour you were using?
It looks like a barbel reacted to the cage feeder but it was the line, you see it more clearly with the method feeder, the barbel feels the line. But you would have caught a barbel on the method if it had a hook link at 9:08
Think the line and the colour of the bait are big factors here. Definitely spooking on the line but also wonder if there reaction would have been different if the bait was a bit more neutral in colour, rather than bright white 🤔
Excellent video. What flavor on the pellets were you using? Did not expect this reaction on the method.
Nice footage. Barbel can be very fussy, wonder if a big juicy worm on a lead would have been declined.
Hi Ginger, is it possible to get an answer from you? Thanks ...
id love a tank full of minnows and gugeoen.
Tony Perks did u get one
Ten hours of relaxing fish in a river to help you sleep.
This is just stupid really.. Why would u cast up river against the flow.. Pellets are going down river and fish swimming straight through ur mainline everytime they come in to feed. Its 100% the line they dont like not the feeder.
So why then would an intelligent creature such as a whale swim into a fishing net or a shark net if it knew what line was?
@@robertwren8878 this has absolutely nothing in common to what im saying. U clearly dont understand whats going on in this video. Watch it again and work it out.
The gonks look epic on this video 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Me thinks they are line shy lol
Try sweet cherries, drilled. They should show up inn few days.
Is it just me or did the barbel poo?
Definitely tackle shy those barbel
👍👍👍😍🏆😍👏👏👏
Nice
line was spooking fish you needed a flying back lead to pin it down also casting downstream to the swim rather than upstream. dunno what flavour pellets they were but they didn't seem very interested. A lump of garlic meat would be a better bait or halibut pellets.
I think the white colour of the pellet is also a point they didnt like. Something more decent would be appropiate, making it look more natural in the river bed
Bread?
Great video
Have you ever caught a barbel with softbaits?
You can catch barbel on pretty much anything mate
Fantastic footage Chris. Seemed to me they were spooking from the tight line which obviously would not be a problem (so much) if fishing downstream, and they seemed preoccupied with the free offerings rather than a 'lump' of bait. Would be interesting to see that when actually fishing with the hook bait downstream with and without a feeder. Those gudgeon and minnows certainly had big ideas trying to down those pellets, my nana would say they had eyes bigger than their bellies!
I think it was the nearby camera, and a general lack of interest by the cats in the bait he was using. Most didn't even give that bait a second glance. I don't think any ate it.
@@dwightstewart7181 Looked to me like as soon as their barbs touChed that line they where spooked.
@@gee3883 .. Fished aren't spooked that easily. Most of them swam away without even touching that line, or that bait. While wary, if that bait was good, they go for it - line or camera be damned.
Not the line they are not spooked by all the debris coming down and towards them are they so why would anybody think that it's the line,but no one thinks it might be the lead!
Great footage.
They seem to be pressured fish.
Here Now old, huge and intelligent 😉👍🏻
Awsome footage
Minnows: *Exists*
Me: Live Bait
Hi just a thought. Are they spooking when they touched the line downstream of the feeder and was it the bright white pellets they were nervous of? Tight Lines
i think the line
but it looked like the line was going downstream opposed to the usual upstream so that might be somdething that doesnt normally matter as much

They are spooked by the camera.
Im a predatory fisherman, n i know chub may fall into this catagoary! Ive never caught a chub....well i lie i did once a good size one aswell using maggots....these are the days i fished without a net...just as i got the fish near the bank, the
Hooked popted out.....the fish lay stationary for a while in the shallow water and i jumpted in head first trying to catch this lump of gold....i didnt and the fish left in a jolt...the builders working on the roof opposite laughed and said "that was close" i think they wanted to see me catch as much as i wanted to catch...its the same old story on the river don in sheffield..."are there fish in there?" Yes theres some beautifull fish..grayling...brown trout....odd rain bow...odd blue trout ( another fish i havent caught yet) pike....and the mysterious (to me) chub...ya see im in a life long competition with my brother...how many different types of fish can we catch...i reacently got him a pike ( his first) so in the british rivers hes one up as he has had a chub befor...tym to get me that mysterious pokemon....sorry childhood throw bk..i mean chub i havent caught!!! Ant tips?
However im hving trouble catching one.
Don't forget the salmon and barbel too👍 I've been fishing the don in Doncaster, havent blanked out of 8 sessions, one session I had a 3lb bream, a 1lb chub and a 1lb barbel. They will eat anything and I know they like Robin red pellets for sure.
Look for crease in the flow or possible cover around the river and you'll most likely find one, feed before making your first cast for 5/10min for an hour and go for it, goodluck I also have a list I want to complete before I die
@@petertomo95 what methods mate?
@@Craig.Fawley simple cage feeder, tin of hemp&4-6mm pellets in groundbait. About 1 to 2 ft hooklength fishing 8mm on hair rig or even sweetcorn hair rigged. Had a 3lb chub first session this season, along with 5 barbel biggest 5lb 9oz and 3 slabs of bream 3-4lb Mark on the river don. All on sweetcorn or 8mm Robin red pellets 👍
