Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2020
- Ever wondered how your rig looks underwater? How much does your bait spread out when spodding?Does your marker float scare the fish. Rob Hughes delves below the surface to help answer lots of common questions like these in a new series - Understanding Underwater. In this first episode, Rob pays a visit to RK Leisure's renowned Wraysbury to show you his findings, looking at his pop-up rig, spod mix, different marker floats and how his mainline looks like while fishing what is a very weedy South Lake.

Very informative video, a great watch. Shame about the audio levels, absolutely shocking, voice is quiet and then suddenly booming loud music, basics to get right.
Hi, thank you for putting the time in and being thorough. This is awesome info! Keep it up, cheers ......
Love your videos Rob. I'm getting back into fishing after a long break and always seek out your content as I'm sure to get some brilliant insights, they really help.
Great footage & angling. Good to see how it's looking underwater. Best
Great video 👍 love all the videos you do great work
Great stuff Rob... 👍😀
Great video again, love seeing these sort of videos with pure helpful information and no bs 👍🏻
thanks Steve
Rob and Simon very the best team in the World !!!
Priceless sharing, thank you so much. Greetings from Brazil.
Excellent insight into below the surface. Always gets you thinking features like this with rob. Nice one 👍
thank you glad you enjoyed it
Great video, keep them coming 👍
Great video Rob, very informative, really appreciate the underwater footage.
thanks Martin glad you enjoyed it
loved the video Rob, 18 years ago I used to train beginner divers at wraysbury on a weekend but wasn't in to fishing at the time. I'm astounded by the visibility you have there as most of the time you were lucky to have anything more than a metre to see in front of you. this was brilliant when you did the rescue diver courses as most people had done their other courses abroad and never had to deal with the conditions in wraysbury
Great watch so much info 🎣🐟👊👊
thank you Darwin
Good vid Rob.... Wraysbury was never that easy back when I fished it in the mid 90s. You caught more in a single session than we'd catch in a whole season 🤣
Thank you, this is great stuff!
Awesome video. Look forward to the next one
thanks SeaJay stay tuned for the next one
Very interesting excellent content think that's the difference between catching n not catching
Hope there are more episodes to come ...
Very instructive.
Thx 👍
thanks Andreas, there will be more episodes on the way
What a cracking video! Thanks!
thanks Dawid
Thanks for that Rob.
Very informative. Good stuff!
thanks Craig
Looking forward to seeing
it's live now Brian
Proper informative video - at last. Do one on fishing in silt, Helicopter style, please.
Thank you and thanks for the comments
Brilliant video rob, loved it
thanks Brian
Nice one guys!
thanks Martyn
Thank you Rob for a very informative and detailed video. I’ve only been fishing for 18months but am already landing some very nice carp but probably more by luck than judgement. This video has given me an insight into the importance of leading about and finding ‘the’ spot and I think I have more confidence and a better understanding of how to do it now, too many fish lost in the last few weeks in very weedy lakes! My partner will be delighted that I’m ready to move onto this skill, slowly slowly for me 👍🏻😁
good to hear its helping you sue. glad you enjoyed it and stayed tuned for the next one :)
Nice video thanks with lots of info
thank you Tariq glad you enjoyed
Nice refreshing video.
Nice to see summit different for a change
thanks for the comments Mike glad you enjoyed it
Very good footage, but has made some simple things out to be a drama. Its carp fishing, sometimes you catch if they are hungry, other times you don't. You can over think fishing so so so much. But what ever floats you boat. Happy clubbing season :)
Loved it
thanks Pak
Loved it. Be interested to see different leaders on the bottom. And also the large pva bag stems that are in vogue. I worry they will land funny and leave your line sticking up at an odd angle.
stay tuned for the next one Reid. Rob will be covering other aspects including some like this
The Amount of Stuff you have to take with you is insane. But it is endless fun at the other end.
Interesting underwater 👍
thanks David
Dream job .
Watching now
Rob great vid yet again. I will be doing my PADI course soon and would like you to list your dive gear you use for my reference if possible if you get the chance !!!
Enjoyed that and looking forward to more. I’d like to her Robs views on bait colour in lakes that have been treated with blue dye?
thanks mark, rob will be trying to answer some of the questions raised either on here or in the next episodes
@@DynamiteBaitsTV id love to see 1 in lakes with the blue dye as most near me have it and it kind of throws you off when you get their lol, cheers lads great videos
Very informative good insight to below the water but sorry ruined by pointless music .
Great vid very informative 👍 do you think carp actually see colour or is it more the contrast of you’re hookbait depending on the colour of the lake bed and water?
hi Chris a lot of it does come down to contrasting colours, the same for lure fishing in different coloured water
Like to see what a chod does when cast out feel for a donk but with foam on the hook 👍
Now and again i trap the line above the buzzer and give the line a ping to clear partials from the line, you can see a small cloud leave the line as you do it.
Very good video. I think you should do more detailed spomb dropping video.
Record various numbers of spombs landing around marker from a drone. Then view underwater for coverage.
Get a true indication of how much bait does what.
thanks for the comments Gaz we will pass these onto rob for the next episodes
There's a good video on UA-cam where Rob covers the exact topic you're interested in. Just search underwater answers 2 with Rob Hughes. It was uploaded 18 Dec 2017
👍👍👍
great video. is there any chance of showing how pva stringers land on the lake bed??
we will pass this onto rob for forthcoming episodes
@@DynamiteBaitsTV thanks
Will have a look next time out.
@@RobHughesTV thanks a lot keep up the great work.
Hi Rob is it best to use a helicopter rig when there is weed 🎣👍👍
Depends if you want to keep the lead on. I usually use a clip, and save the help for very long distance casts
You should do a section where you talk about how far a lead moves with different lines before you get any indication on the alarms
thanks mike we will take all ideas onboard for future episodes. Rob will be looking at lots of things like this
@@DynamiteBaitsTV thank you, will they be weakly episodes? Looking forward to the next one
I would like to see how chod rigs are presented when fishing at range and slack lines are not an option, particularly if you are fishing at range where there is a lot of undertow. At what range is sufficient for the line angle to be acute enough to present a chod rig and how slack do the lines need to be? Is a chod rig even fishable when the tows are too strong and putting bows in the line etc? Be interesting to see how and if undertow effects line lay.
thanks for the comments Karl I think rob is planning to cover this in the next couple of Understanding Underwater vids including bite indication and slack and tight lines.
Question you said you have put bait over your swim when you showed your rig under water was no bait atall and how did you get undressed so quick and back in same clothes to catch the fish
Hi, I've got a question and it hasn't been answered as far as I'm aware!. Let me see if i can word this correct, so when your spodding is there any conditions where the bait drifts away during its way down? So when its flat calm we all know your bait travels straight down and spreads out the deeper the water. But would undertow be worth thinking about on a windy day? And will the bait you using make a difference? For example 2mm pellet will sink alot slower than a boilie so will it drift further away?
I'd imagine in choppy conditions your spoddy will drift slightly..
Depends on the bait mainly but I'll look at this next time we're out. Heavy stuff is not affected.
@@RobHughesTV ok thank you love the underwater videos mate so educational and have certainly improved my catch rate🎣🎣 tight lines
I do try to take up your advice Rob, but, after cast 4 or 5 with the marker trying to find that flat spot I usually get a gob full from other carpers on the lake for disturbing and spooking, I can never seem to win.
Most likely covid carpers that don't know what they're doing you cast as many times as u like to find your spot ur session you paid to be there crack on! And good luck on your angling!
People chuck 10 spods out thinking they have put a bit out. Just shows how much you actually need
Lee Litchfield when he put 5 Spods out you couldn’t see hardly any bait, so imagine if the lake is boilie and pellet only you will need to spom out way more
I fish on a lake with that exact rules mate I’m going 10k nearly every time I go as there is no real small stuff holding them in.
Did you dive before or after finding spots?
As you can see from the film, I dived the general area before to have a look at the lake bed generally, but not to find the spot. I then specifically dived the spot after I'd found it to see if it matched what I thought was coming back through the marker.
Good film, just a shame about the LOUD music !
Who’s thinking he placed his baits on them spots off camera 😅
Really? #Doh. You don't know me do you.
if I could set up on the bank that quickly 🙈
Great video but Rob please advise people to wear a finger stall when using a marker/spod rod. It’s not pretty if you catch your finger with braid 👍🏼
Thanks Dan. Short range they're not always necessary. I believe in the rule of common sense. I think most people are grown up enough to know what they should or shouldn't do
Rob Hughes TV as someone who works with the general public I have to disagree and say you’re wrong with regards to common sense but we can all hope. Keep up the good work 👍🏼🎣
I wonder if you would have still caught so quickly at the start if you wouldn't have moved that popup so it sitting correctly? Great Video tho.
for sure. I caught loads more on that re-cast, and it wouldn't have bene long before it was re-positioned anyway
A question to dynamite tel is still with you but I don't see that many good videos of him ??... 🤔
hi Dave, Tel is very much still on the team. He talks a lot about which Dynamite products he uses and how he uses it in some of his latest ESP videos so to cover the same topics again would be a bit pointless. Having said that we may be featuring Tel in one of our videos soon. he's always very busy campaigning his waters. :)
@@DynamiteBaitsTV thanks,looking forward to seeing that! ❤🎣👍
Really nice Video, but for why do you need the Marker, to look for the bottom, if you dived there and have the information you need i think didnt unterstand this right?
Shoudnt be offending or something just a question;)
It could be those rubber hooks you can get 😂
While this interesting, it just frustrates me that there's so much weed in my local lake that, without perfect planning, I'm likely to just be sat in a place I won't catch anything. In fact, it begs the question: why don't more of us simply use a controller float and put bait mid-water where it's completely visible and out of weed?!
What's the "worse" in diving with carps 😂😂😂
ua-cam.com/video/CiCMTY-pYt0/v-deo.html Как правильно сварить манку для рыбалки
I just don’t get how Mr Hughes can go out diving on a spot and the fish still keep being caught , must be some stock level
the video was filmed over 24 hours. the fish tended to come onto the feed during the periods rob was not in the water
They swim with me all the time. I've actually been in the water with them in some lakes when they are feeding.Most of the time they're no scared at all. They don't associate wee with danger
Rob Hughes TV thanks Rob! Amazing ! I think you and Simon should get back together doing some articles 😊👌🏻
So use black foam in clear water because it's the most visable but use a black marker float in clear water because it's the least visable? There's just no answer is there aha
the marker float tip from rob was more about not spooking the fish too much when using it at the start of your session
Good point. However to clarify, black is harder to see from distance as it blends in, but when you get closer to it it does stand out, as will the others. I think black zigs are easier to pick out than yellow when close. Plus remember the marker float tips are day-glo. The other thing to consider with zigs is that the fish will usually be looking up at them and it silhouettes better when seen from below. Red zigs work very well too which also confirms that the red end stands out more under water.
Thanks for your answers I was getting confused
Will you be doing any videos on the swing back of the lead
Not the cleverest idea wearing waders in a boat
My thoughts exactly
I heard if you lift your feet up in the water you won’t sink but I’m not willing to try it! A lot of the videos you see the people are wearing waders out in boats I really don’t get it.
When waders fill with water
They weigh no more or less than your clothes because water weighs the same in water regardless.
Its only heavy when you get out of the water
look on youtube there load videos of duck hunters showing that u float if u lift yr feet up and even if yr waders fill with water u can still swim ok
Thanks for the safety advice. I've spent a reasonable amount of time in boats and have a fair amount of experience. These were belted gore tex breathable stocking foot waders. Loads of anglers wear them in boats. Fly anglers and pred anglers especially and very frequently. You'll also have seen a life jacket as well..... but thanks for the input. Did you enjoy the film.
Some fish only like pink ? is like saying pigs only like green food carp will eat anything if their feeding ive used multple baits for the last 30 year caught on most baits on the market yeah sure lakes wil differ.... not knocking your vid some good informative stuff keep it up
i dont think Rob was saying they only like pink. he meant more that the fish in Wraysbury were renowned for liking pink coloured baits. not that nothing else would work. thanks for the kind comments :)
Goes to show 6 spods isn’t much
Great video though the music choice is annoying
Has anyone actually proved that carp can see colours?
Mr Carpcatcher what makes you think they can’t ?
@@VALIS538 what makes you think they can 😂
@@Yayo11111 whats fuuny if theres no argument for either then surely its 50/50 and your laughing at your own comment, carps eyes are similar to humans and we can see colour, your turn
@@VALIS538 dogs can't see all colour's, I'm not saying they can or they can't but if dogs can't see a full spectrum of colour then nothing is saying a fish can either.
@@Yayo11111 and cant either!!!! we aint scientists so if they don't know how can we so laughing when I said how do you know weren't the right shout, and I spectrum is different to not seeing
good vid but theres much better bait companys out there now adays, some stuff is much poorer quality like glugs , and boillies than they use to be, fact
Glad you enjoyed the vid. what makes you say that about the bait? most of our bait we have never changed the ingredients!
Who’d wanna fish over rocks anyway? Horrible. Stick to me clay cheers
