I've never been river fishing but barbel fishing looks amazing, I was always a Carp man, but lost my job and motor which stopped my freedom, and depression and anxiety stops me doing pretty much everything nowadays, even getting out of bed for work is a very hard task. Watching vids like this really do help me to forget all my problems!
I’m Thinking the same tbh , go back to your roots , we use fish the river soar as kids and learnt everything we know now from them times , Floating bread fishing use to be my favourite way of catching them , 👍
I’ve been fishing for years and I am really enjoying and learning so much from your videos thank you so much All the best Mark Bentley from Farnham, Common, Buckinghamshire
PEK and curry powder worked a treat in the early/mid 70's, no hair rigs, chunk of PEK or luncheon meat of choice, quick dip in curry powder on a No6 hook with a bit of grass to stop the bait flying off on the cast. 15lb prime river seven barbel thanks very much.
Hello sir, tried all the other baits, but not this one, so this is perfect timing on your great channel, lovely fish right thats a great result, fantastic mate, thanks so much for all the work you do for us.
Oy mate that was perfect timing was just feeling a bit down and you popped up! I am now very happy again definitely top dog number 1 in the you tube fishing video in my opinion
Great session Chris, most anglers I’m talking to on the bank are mostly catching on free lined or float fished at the moment. Great to see how simple it can be 👌
Really enjoyable vid as always Chris and I love that you left in chucking your rod in the water - just shows that you may be an angling god but can still do daft things the same as us mere mortals at times 😂
Now then Chris, I know you told me the water level would drop once they'd been through with the weed cutter, but fook me!!! The swim I've been fishing has dropped a good 18 inch at least! Managed a Barbel out of it fairly quickly and then the weed cutter came through again! 😡
Lovely bit of fishing Chris. Meat has always been a great bait for barbel . Must try that new one you’re using, works brilliant what I can see of it. Lovely river too .
Another great vid Chris. Simple and effective tactics and excellent watercraft equals a fine catch of Barbel...oh and the "throwing the rod" in moment was just great. It wouldn't be a sesh with you without something going a bit wonky. 😂 You should do a bloopers reel of all your wonky moments, mate. I'm sure your subscribers will love it.☺
Beautifull fishes and a nice stream. Cant expect more. The wound on top of the head could also be caused by a lamprey. Got the Ceymar XT 40 and 55, great reels for a reasonable price! Greets from germany
Eva try using chicken hearts and gizzards or beef heart pieces? I use these types of meat on straight circle/octopus hooks because the hookset is better and the meat doesn't come off as easy.
Certain types of polony (polish spam) are neutral. They neither float or sink. Personally I've used it for carp but I'm sure it would have an application for barbel.
Ever tried Pepperami?? Down my neck of the woods the fish used to go absolutely MAD for them 😂😂 Pepperami has been heavily over used though so a lot of the fish are smart to the bait now and wont touch it 🤣🤣 But you get the occasional one.
Needn't be buying already flavoured bait, easy enough to do it yourself and cheaper, I've only ever used garlic luncheonmeat for the majority of my fishing especially for carp. What I do is I buy spam or cheap luncheonmeat cut it into cubes and coat it in garlic salt/granules then microwave the meat to give it a skin so it doesn't fall off the hook/hair rig. It's incredibly cheap and works a dream for all sorts of fish . I've caught some large carp, chub, tench and some lovely roach

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you’re the best all round angler on UA-cam! Great session Chris, can’t wait for the next one🎣😎

Is deffo a good all-rounder.But id say Ta fishing is best allrounder

If you like sea fishing try smashfishing he does foraging at low tide for lobsters ect too.

Literally crying of laughter here at you whacking your own rod in 😂😂
Class vid as usual mate!
Ha, just as the old chap came for a look to see what you were up to, you go and throw your rod in the water ! Classic 😁👍🏴
Nice video mate and what a big berbel you catch, great fish to see! And strong, nice session buddy 👌
Nice take had that Eel on wireless line during biting up the spot 👌
😆

Your video's are so relaxing and good i am dreaming about fishing in rivers like you
Another great session.
Chris always delivers the best content 👏 🙌 👌 💯
The noise the barbel makes at 16.44 😂

Top fishing Chris! 💥🎣
‘Making very little disturbance, not chucking out a big lead or anything’
Sling your rod and reel in though, that’s fine 😂😂😘
Matt 👋
Úžasné video,jsi borec,krásné ryby.
Lovely bit of fishing Chris. Meat has always been a great bait for barbel . Must try that new one you’re using, works brilliant what I can see of it. Lovely river too .
Great video mate you caught some nice barbel you can't beat luncheon meat on the rivers

What a brilliant session you had there Chris, i'm very jealous coz i don't have river's like that near me, very good video, Thank you
James 👋
Top vid bro, good stuff.
Cracking video as always Chris 👌 👏
Professional like Always
Enjoy these videos, bravo
Awesome video I love to use the source flavouring i found it deadly for barbel.

Would a single piece of actual garlic on a hair rig be any good?
I've caught fish on a bear hook a couple of times 🤣
@@stewartevans9753
Lol on the method by any chance 👍
Another belter, chris. Can you get prescription polarising glasses? You seem to see every detail, even across the bank
Great session , I’ve never seen @snaggedbro lads throw their rods in 😂 😜
Love your videos
New to fishing rivers how do you go about selecting a swim? Had about 30 hours so far 1 barbel lots of dace, roach and perch though.
I would need two lots off bait, one for fishing and one for myself. Love luncheon meat. 😁
Well worth repeatedly rewatching the moment of you punching your rod into the river for a while
Eva try using chicken hearts and gizzards or beef heart pieces? I use these types of meat on straight circle/octopus hooks because the hookset is better and the meat doesn't come off as easy.
Brilliant calm weed control.
is it a day ticket water or one of the john wilsons secret locations?
Bill 👋
Would of loved to seen that you catch that Eel
Is there no pike there?
Caught my Pb barbel at 9lb as I started watching this video was 2:08 when my rod burst into life!
George👋
Great video, what's the weight rating of the strongest tip you're using on this rod in this session?
done all hard work for everyone

Pepperami has been heavily over used though so a lot of the fish are smart to the bait now and wont touch it 🤣🤣 But you get the occasional one.
10:05 I would have just said it was a massive bite that you missed and hope no one noticed what really happened 🤣
James 👋
9:32 is that Giant Hogweed ..?
ive used chicken liver for pike and perch with some success. spam works for pike too, but the perch dont seem interested.
Chris is the bait texture and firmness like Spam?. - Steve. PS Would you do a specific Eel episode for us please?, not seen an Eel in years sadly.
Davi 👋
Spicy peperarmy works a treat.
9.06 Osprey ?
Chris, what do you use to keep the meat on the hair. Great vid as usual
I use a small piece of spaghetti
@@stevesmith9015 thank you so much for that tip.

Ahh more species of fish we don't have ☹️ damn ice age!
Is that a new landing net
Wonder how long it will last 😁
What part of the county do you fish ? Great vlog by the way really enjoyed it
10:00 Word to the Kraken!
Bird of prey has pecked on the top of his head. I'd pay to see that. When are you, Carl and Snagged Bro going to get together? Great video as always
Ive never caught a barble id love to catch one

Strange I only ever have success on spam crazy to think you do well on flavoured meat I do well on spam only the best for the fish near me
Jack !👋
He got that wound on his head from people not using a matt after landing him.
WOO! WOO! 🚨 MATT POLICE 👮🏼♂️
Greetings from Russia. Great fish for a small river. Thanks for the video. What camera do you use?
Make your own garlic meat just cube a tin of meat and shake garlic flakes into a plastic bag give it a good shake and put it in the freezer.
Rod falls in, include it, keep it real.
