Brilliant stuff as always, mate. Was chuckling at the idea that having your tip rod at an angle with the line is now considered old skool (by some) 😄 Have a very merry Christmas and a fish filled new year 🎣
Great film again Jamie.. typical winter fishing but really good to watch.. I quite enjoy the discipline in using one bait, I find it focuses and hones the finer techniques … thanks Jamie , merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you! I was using the Matrix Aquos Power Handle here's the link www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/matrix-aquos-power-landing-net-handle?c=nets-handles
Hi this is not a criticism in any way more a question. I was always told before handing fish you should wet your hand as it’s less of a shock to the fish regarding the temperature difference. Any thoughts on this please. Really enjoy your videos thanks 😊
I know exactly what you mean but it's not something that ever seems to have been a problem. To be honest, when catching fish like these especially in a match I wouldn't even handle them. We tend to just use the disgorger to unhook them and then transfer them to the keepnet using the landing net if that makes sense?
Personally, having caught thousands and thousands of fish, the temperature difference really isn't an issue. As Jamie said, they are barely handled, and when they are I've never seen any problems. More worryingly is when anglers use a towel to handle fish, removing any protective slime from the fish.
Yes agree with Jamie. Handling them briefly, effectively and efficiently is most important. I’ve seen people hold them in a landing net, posing for photos, tipping water over them and generally messing about.
It would be nice to see you tackle a small natural venue something like a standard fishing club stillwater that hasn't got F1s. What would your approach be?
It's the Matrix Clicker and it comes with a screw fitting so that it can be mounted on the legs of your box here's the link www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/matrix-digital-clicker?c=accessories

Hi Jamie what determines the length of hook link on commercials this time of year when after carp and F1s. Happy Christmas
Hi Stephen, I've just found that I've caught more on a 30cm hooklength with bomb and corn this winter and hope you have a great Christmas mate!
Thank you, sorry I forgot yesterday happy Christmas to dad too

How close are these pegs! Unbelievable
Tackle advertising catches more anglers than fish , i haven't watched actual fishing got fed up waiting
If I don't show the tackle I use Derek I get inundated with emails and questions about what I've used but sorry if it's spoilt the viewing for you.
