Here I pass on a tip for making sure your casters stay in tip top condition for up to a week. This means that should the opportunity arise for some fishing you don’t have to go to the tackle shop, just grab the bait you need and go. Bill
A proper bloke, who always had time for everyone, sadly missed by many, God rest you Bill! I enjoyed our small chats through your channel comments!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great info, Bill. You have no idea at the number of friends I have suggested to watch your channel. And, thanks for translating casters for me. We just say maggots. It’s like I’m learning a new language! Get better soon. Your impact on the fishing community is more than you know, mate.
Hi Bii new to your channel after watching a few of your episodes i thought i would buy a small whip and give it a go on a local fishery. What a fantastic few hours i had catching roach Rudd perch it really took me back to basics away from all the double rod setup i normally fish will definitely be there again . Keep up the great work 🙏
Andrew Seadon Hi well I’m glad you have discovered the pleasure of simple whip fishing. Makes a change from sitting behind a pair of buzzers doesn’t it! Can be very effective cheap fun. Bill
For a novice like me and fishing on tight budget this kind of tip is absolute gold dust Bill. Many thanks for taking time out to share. I really hope you feel better soon.
Bill, another great instructional video. Thanks for the explanation of casters to those of us outside the U.K. Get well soon. Thanks for sharing, Phill
Morning bill👍.another display if your dedication and motivation getting out going down the tackle shop to get the casters to do the video even though your not feeling the best .True dedication😀👍
Thanks bill. I didn’t know that. I genuinely thought this wouldn’t teach me anything and as usual it was really useful. I’ve wasted hundreds of pounds on casters which I didn’t fish using over the years. Brilliant advice. I’d love an episode on fishing caster. And I hope you get on the bank soon. You deserve some decent health.
I respect the fact you still make an effort entertain your many viewers with short fishing trips/bait tips whilst not 100%. Hope your health improves enough to see you on the bank again soon mate 👍
Thanks Bill excellent tip like you say they will last longer makes sense look after your bait, the bait will look after you . Thanks for sharing tight lines 👍
Great video again After my fishing session, I always keep maggots left and let them turn into casters, and use it next week. Feeding hemp and using casters on hook helped me catch bigger roach in a friendly match, 😀😀
Hi bill can you please give me tips on catching tench at the embankment?. I haven't caught many tench there. I only really had one early autmn at the disabled spot on the back river and I'm preparing for next summer
Tommy Thompson Fishing Hi well a weed rake is essential just so you can present a bait cleanly. Have a squint at my short underwater video to know why. I only use a short pole as the presentation can’t be bettered. Strong tackle is essential as the fish go to double figures. Try to avoid maggots and try a hard banded pellet or corn. Fish on the roadside of the river as that’s where the deep channel runs from the engineer’s bridge downstream. Fish very early or late. Be prepared for big bream and carp as well. Have a look at my video river Tench . Bill
@@easyfishing1936 Thank you Bill for this advice, I'm sure I will use it come late spring or Early summer, it would rather nice to catch a river carp tench or bream as all the tench carp and bream have either been at local commercial fisheries or gravel pits. Once again apreciate you for telling me this information
Tommy Thompson Fishing Hi no problem to help. The embankment is either feast or famine so be prepared and flexible. For instance if you find the small fish a nuisance get a whip out and feed maggots and after a while you may well find that big fish are underneath them feeding on the maggots that the small fish missed. You can encourage this by feeding quite heavily for a short while then carry on feeding lightly and trying a bigger bait on strong gear on a bottom rig from time to time. If the bites suddenly stop be ready for a much bigger fish. If it’s clear water be prepared to use bread punch feeding likky with some extra weight because there are some beautiful roach in there. Have fun and if you see me fishing come and say hello. Bill
Jack Brennan Hi casters seem to single out better fish most of the time, they also sit inert on the bottom or rest on top of weed. Fish just seem to love them fed in combination with hempseed or chopped worm. Bill
how much is a pint of casters nowdays. ? im just about to come have another go at course fishing after a 30+ year break..... my local shop in s london a pint of maggots is £3.50, and £6 for a bag of groundbait..? £4.99 for a tub of hemp.? seems a bit pricey... i will be making my own groundbait i think
What's your method of preping hemp seeds I was told in a flask , rather than the odour cooking it on a stove, can you freeze casters? Keep warm, tight lines dave
david inger Hi well with hempseed you have two choices. Half fill a vacuum flask and fill to about 3/4 full with boiling water, put the top on and leave overnight. Make sure you don’t overfill or the flask will burst and in the morning they will be ready to go. Don’t throw away the water as it’s great for mixing groundbait . The other method requires the seed to be left in a saucepan overnight, then gently simmered until the seed just split exposing the kernel. Freeze any left overs in bags. Unfortunately casters don’t seem to be effective on the hook when frozen. Bill
gavin mcnamara Hi I have tried freezing casters but it doesn’t seem to work. The only use I would have for them is possibly adding them to a cheap pre baiting mix. Normally left over casters are fed to the birds or the fish and there normally not much leftover! Bill
Another quick tip. On the bank empty your casters into a container of water and those casters that float scoop them out and through away. Save only if surface fishing.
joohop Er confession time. I have seen that done to another angler who kept pinching sandwiches! The look on his face when he realised was something to behold and still sticks in my mind 40 plus years on. Bill

When should you use casters?& what’s the difference between them and maggots?in terms of what conditions to use them in?

Hi Bill, great videos and very helpful. Just a quick question though, "What camcoder do you use" ?
Chris Whittingham Hi I use a cheap Sony hdr cdx 450. The cheapest I could find with a mic socket. Bill
Thanks for taking the time to pass on these tips … have you heard of “caster lung” 😂 just kidding 👍
Could you freeze them in the bag instead of using the J Cloth?
gavin mcnamara Hi I have tried freezing casters but it doesn’t seem to work. The only use I would have for them is possibly adding them to a cheap pre baiting mix. Normally left over casters are fed to the birds or the fish and there normally not much leftover! Bill

petemason57 Hi well I often fish the floating ones on the hook to produce a slow sinking bait. Bill
Get well soon bill
Or If You Don't Catch A Fish For Dinner Just Make A Big Juicy Caster Sandwich ( wholemeal bread of course )
