Great videos. It’s good that you show the blanks as well as the moments of glory. It puts things in perspective. Thanks very much for filming your sessions.

[@obsessionwithangling]

I Blanked on a semi frozen canal today deadbaiting for pike
Really Like the fact you show your blanks on the channel really helps me keep the faith and keep plugging away👍🏻

[@rickpluijmers]

Hard times, mate! Same here! January always the hardest month of the year in my opinion

[@aartkrijt1458]

It was nice to watch your pike session again. Too bad things are going very difficult at the moment. So far I've only had days without a pike. We persevere and hope for better times.Greetings from Holland

Great effort. Always remarking how your doing a session in minus conditions and all you have in is a hoody 😂 tough out.
I wondered would you ever do a few vids on your gear, luggage, bite alarms etc etc.

[@obsessionwithangling]

awesome vids mate, looking to fish the trent soon. Where about on the trent are you fishing from ?
cheers 🙌🙌

[@obsessionwithangling]

I fish all over the Trent mate

[@Zombie-fb5zf]

Love the channel
Can I ask do you leave the bail arm open when ledgering or do you just set the clutch so very little resistance? Thanks

[@obsessionwithangling]

I normally have the clutch slack, thanks for watching

[@milescraigmile9323]

What rig do you use on the float so it doesn’t move around in the flow. Thanks! been fishing waters with flow but I still want the float for indication! Love the videos keep it up! 30lber soon

[@obsessionwithangling]

I use a simple 18 inch long trace and weight it down with a 2/3oz lead.

[@jozsefronai9875]

I was really hopeful watching you fish that wier i thought that spot looked perfect but the pike are really not feeding!!! Maybe different approach?? Ledger popped up and injected with sardine oil or live bait ?? Or float twich bait technique with a sprat or dead rat or mouse from pet shop as bait or search for bait fish on echo sounder and fish near by ?? These are the question i ask myself when these girls aren't biting even on the best proven venues bud i hope the pike gods are good to you next time
