Hi William, I like the Abu 704 to, I was using the Diawa 125m in this film though which I think has better pick up and winds in quicker. Best wishes and thank you for watching.
Some cracking roach there kev, are you going to continue fishing the Trent through the winter ,it would be interesting if the fish stop there as other stretches seem barren of fish .🎣🐟
Hi David, have to fit fishing in arround work, family and if the river is in the right condition to but hopefully will get a few more winter sessions in before March.
My old stomping ground, this stretch has always been free to fish. The steps are in a right state. Lovely racket around you, but, a decent catch. It can be tough along those stretches, might see you there! Can you still park along there?
@nottsfishingkbtv402 brill, those steps and graffiti need sorting out. I went to wilford meadows in the 1980's and it's sad to see the place like that.
You can use a plumet but for Roach fishing I chose to vary my dept according to if the float starts to drag on and also where the fish is hooked in the mouth, the Roach should be hooked centre of the top lip, if your hook them in the bottom lip you are too deep
Fished the other side where they are building the new pool a couple of weeks ago and caught absolutely nothing over about three hours. haven't got the years of experience that you have Kev and I'm probably doing everything wrong. I was using completely different gear, a twelve foot rod, an open reel (never tried a closed one, is there an advantage?) The current was running very fast and I found it really tricky to plumb the depth. I didn't see you plumbing the depth in this video, where you placing your bait on the river bed, or was it raised above the bottom, if so by how much? will probably bump into you one of these fine days. I've recently bought some polaris floats, would you recommend them on the trent, not tried them yet.
Hi Keith, see last weeks video where I fished near the front of the pool location. It is shallower there and if the river was chocolate coloured and running through you would have struggled to get bites. I don't always use a plumet, I usually alter the depth from dragging on the bottom to just off bottom to find bites and adjust by where the fish are hooked. Ideally the fish should be hooked in the top lip and the bites should be slow. If you are getting fast bites and missing them you are fishing too shallow. Never use a polarus float. Best wishes

Yes, you can park. It is free at weekends to park on the embankment to and walk over the bridge

looks a good place to fish a long rod and a centre pin
Yes, worth a go, let us know how you get on and look out for the xmas special film coming soon.
Nice one Kev
Thanks 321, best wishes
Hi love you're videos by the way big fan can I ask how do you get the right defh on the trent

where do park for the enbankment thanks
Free to park on the weekends and £2 in the week
What 17ft rod is that could not make out what you said, thanks
Hi Gary, Preston Carbon Active 17", best wishes
Often see folks spinning for pike that side...
Think they left at least one
i watched Dave Harrel fishing those steps 25 years ago on video. Looks like the council have given up keeping the place weed free
Thanks for watching and leaving comments. Not sure the council would have the weeds as a priority there. LOL.
Proper fishing not a carp in sight I've caught on tares with snow on the ground
Tares in the snow, did you feed any?
