When it comes to session length for me it’s 2-3 nights at a time. I work a stressful job with long hours and the time on the bank lets me rest, chill and look after my mental health. As someone who has suffered with depression fishing literally saved me.
That’s a good reason to spend a few days getting some respite! I prefer getting out more regularly helps keep my head on track, but we all do things around our own circumstances
Short sessions for me lately, saves on the baggage and lowers my expectations. I’m loving the relaxed approach too. Setting out after the morning rush and finishing just before the light goes is where it’s at for me. I’m chilled, the drive is pleasant and the bonus of catching without the setup of a bivvy and assorted extras is fantastic. Thought lines all 👌🏻🎣👍🏻
I prefer 24 to 48hr sessions. I find I can get on the fish knick a few and be able to move if they have done the off! I have had so much success doing this plus with work and family life it's well earned little escape where I can relax and fully concentrate on my fishing. Another great little video, keep em coming!
Another crackin vlog mate and another crackin result.. To be honest i love a 24hr session as it results in a dad n lad night with hopfully a bonus fish or 2 for him 👌
I have got into my "long" session day only fishing this year, around 8-10hour sessions, keeps you on your toes and move around much more as i have less kit, keeps it interesting. Cracking video again and lovely fish!
I love an afterwork session with an early work finish when poss - on the bank by 4pm nice quite evening on a deserted lake quality not quantity And like you did right under the tips
I have school so usually just after school I go down to my local and chuck a rod in under my feet and wait till around 7-8 so about a 3 and a half hour session but love the holiday overnighters ❤
Family commitments mean a short session works well for me. I like working for a bite and making something happen. Great content as always which resonates with my own situation. 👍🏻
@@TheFishingBloggers I do, I usually fish for a short day session 6 hrs or so. Just bought some c series 9 footers looking forward to christening them.
I grab short 3-5 hour sessions after work and love using location, observation and knowledge of the lake to try and catch, I often find the the lakes less busy and manage to catch a few carp 😊
Another great video. I prefer overnighters as I find them more relaxing, although if a few spare hours comes available then I'm there. Thanks for the uploads, look forward to next Tuesday.
I've been watching you for years mate, from the early days when you did todber manor alot always like your stuff, if I'm doing a session 48hrs or more , specially on harder waters, so you can build it up , love the blogs keep em coming
Great video mate well done..I’m the same as you I love my night fishing but with family commitments ive joined a club that has no night fishing ,which has done me a right favour and I actually do more fishing now than I ever did 👍
I’ve always found short sessions can be done more regularly, so I get a fishing fix more. It also means I’m not away from the family for too long which helps with the home life balance.
With my job & having to work term time, I have to get my time on the bank in when I can during half-terms. Especially in the darker months. So mainly, I spend 3-5 nights on the bank at a time. Nice little vlog this week 👍🏻🎣
Short sessions are deffo good like over the weekend but you can’t beat a good 24hr-48hr maybe even 72hr session watching the water giving you more chance to watch the water more and figure out the lake your fishing👌🏻👌🏻
@@TheFishingBloggers yeah you can but with longer sessions you can learn more and talk to many different anglers and get other knowledge you might not get from shorter sessions but again short sessions are and can be great
As I’m older and disabled longer sessions make more sense for me than shorter sessions. This is my local lake. Light leads bottom baits in the margins over some scattered freebies or hemp and pellets have been successful for me. Never seen anything or had anything bigger than 21. The bigger fish are long gone.
Being at work all day with a son at school, my time at the weekend with the family is more important than anything at the minute,so very short sessions for me. Tight lines.
Ahh lovely Yate 😂 been a while since there but yea lovely free park lake 👌🏻👍🏻 I prefer any type of fishing but do enjoy my short sessions with my little boy either method feeder or whip just to get him starter but I do love my camping socials too!! Great video again mush 👍🏻
Day sessions/Short sessions for me overall more effort more the reward. Love winter night sessions! When the fair weather anglers go away 😂. Best of luck all would love to try The bug bait tho. 🤞🤞
Great video as always. Well done nicking one.. For local lakes its 6 to 24 hrs as I can pre bait and hopefully be close to the fish or have an idea of location. For travelling a good distance i definitely want 48 hours plus as I'm fishing blind, don't have pre baited spots or a bait that's going in fairly often. It gives me the opportunity to have a good look around and move if I see something. 👍👍👍
I love going fishing with my son he’s 15 now and we have fished together since he was 6 and he hold’s bigger pbs then me 🎣🐟👍🏻which is every father’s dream 🎣🐟👍🏻 I think the longer on the bank the better and more memories made 🎣🐟👍🏻
I can only hope the interest is still in my son when he gets to 15. I’ve very fond memories of time with my dad fishing as a kid. Keep making those memories 👍
@@TheFishingBloggers thanks for reply buddy I watched the video with you and your son the other day it was amazing to watch a dad and son having fun and making memories together even if it is hide and seek with dinosaurs while on the bank it’s great time together and definitely get him him a little blogging camera 🎥 to practice with and Show how you edit to make videos then let him have a play with it my sons a watch it once then hands on and learns faster hands on great work buddy looking forward to seeing you and little man on bank again soon 🎣🐟👍🏻

I’m a short session guy mate , in the same sort of situation, family life took over , my lad plays academy football so all over the country 3/4 times a week that tied in with work makes it near on impossible to do over nighters . Like you said in the video short sessions can be a lot more productive than sitting behind rods for 24/28 hour . Great video as always mate topped off with a park lake banger . Hope you got back in time to pick your lad up lol
Lovely looking fish that Shaun. I usually fish a 24h with my teenage son. Gets him out the house and of his computer for some father son time. Thanks for the weekly content, please keep them coming.
Beautiful looking fish, not bad for a free venue. tbh if I have available time I like a longer session on the bank, gets me away from stresses of work and unplug from technology, but like a lot on here that's not always possible due to other commitments so just as much enjoyment had with a few hours. really why I started taking a spinning rod and a few lures to the coast now, just have a chuck about whilst wondering the shore
I do short sessions on the river trotting the float down just getting some bites, do a bit of lure fishing for the perch and pike too as it’s easy to have a bit of kit ready to go.
Would love a place like this near me looks like a cracking little park lake and what a stunning fish that was. And on my local lake I like a short session either early morning or evening to just before dark as it's only dawn till dusk but then I do enjoy doing a 24-48 hour as I enjoy being out doors and the nature side of things aswell.
I have been doing short sessions for the last few years due to looking after the kids. I did used to do a lot of longer sessions but can't do them until kids are older. I am enjoying my shorter ones tho, and agree location is the key, find the fish and move if needs be
@@TheFishingBloggers I try to make the most of the time I have, I try to stay where the fish are, and if that means moving 2 or 3 times then so be it. I enjoy my shorter sessions just as much as if they was long sessions 😀
Great Video Shaun and well done on the lovely scaley park lake mirror . 53 now and for last 15 years or so I've been a short session angler , find em' give them something they wanna' eat and touch wood "knock" catch one or two. Shorter sessions I think make anglers sharper and earn their catches on limited time. A lil pre baiting if at all possible then a quick short session seems to pay dividends. The fishmeal S7 is/would be my bait of choice . Cheers guys , and good luck ALL 🤞 Steve M
Totally agree. I think it’s more rewarding being successful on limited time. I don’t get bored on longer sessions, but I get frustrated sat in one spot. Much prefer moving around and ‘hunting’ them.
I like a variety, short sessions for stalking upto 5 hours, day sessions when I'm happy to set the alarm early, and night sessions upto 48 hours. Really depends what other diary committments I have along with the weather.
@@TheFishingBloggers certainly do, minimal kit, usually freelining a bait I can see rather than relying on the alarms which are at home. Also, only time I look at my mobile on a short session is to document the latest catch 🙂
Awesome watch as always cracking mirror as to sessions I like 48-72hr at the moment I'm stuck 4-6 hrs sessions as awaiting heart bypass surgery soon as that sorted ill be back to longer sessions onto the adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊
All my fishing these days are afternoon sessions,can’t beat them,less gear to carry,makes roaming the lake easier too,but do try getting a few 48hr sessions in over the season,to be sociable.👍
48hrs watch the water and see the fish.Newly back to the bank 2 years off following 2 strokes last year and a heart attack 5months ago desperate to get out 🤞🏻
Another great video. For me it has to be short sessions as that is what works for me around other commitments. Also feel it makes me work harder so when I do get the chance of a longer session I end up being a bit lazy.😅
Awsome video Shaun🎣 nice fish. i do 3-4nights a week on my syndicate an pack up an move if see fish somewhere else. i dont work as have disability 7open heart surgurys since 5days old an going in this friday for key hole surgury. so goin fishing helps my mental health an watchin good youtubers🎣
If the Weather is looking good for it then fishing on my syndicate water which is a 50 acre gravel pit that’s up to 20 odd feet deep in places would be my first choice especially with several Target Fish In mind so a 24 -48 hr session is required.Taking on board the atmospheric pressure & wind direction is something to consider as well as the ambient temperature & above all what time of year it is . When doing short stints of say 4-12 hrs I would usually go to a shallower water such as my Club water or local Canal or river as locating & seeing showing carp is a lot easier. Not saying short stints on a large mass of water is not beneficial as during th winter months a good 4-6 hr daytime session can pay dividends if on the Carp ! Horses for courses as the saying goes , but generally I’ll mix it up throughout the Seasons !
It depends on the weather for me. If it’s warm and sunny then a short session so I can make sure I’m in the beer garden for afternoon beers in the sun. If it’s cold and wet then upto 24 hours.
I like a 24hrs session on a Friday/saturday with my 10 year old son getting away from it all and time together on the bank away from tv/tablets which is rare for youngsters now days I have be carp rods out and he is on my old float rod in the day which I had since I was his age so great to see him catch Rudd etc on that while live are out in the bite alarms for the chunks 👍😂 great video again look forward to next weeks 🎣
@@TheFishingBloggers I've had dogs all my life and like to class myself as a responsible dog owner. Unfortunately, not everybody can be bothered, just look at some of the kids.!?.
I like doing long sessions, but often it's just 24hrs. I will take any oppurtunity to get down the club lake, so if I have an hour or so to spare I'm out the door. Does help that the lakes are less than 10 minutes away.
A great vlog as usual. Wish we had a park lake like that. I usually go on sessions of around 4 to 6 hours and try to do a 48hr session once a month. I only have 1 car and my wife needs it mostly for work.
I love longer sesions just time to rtelax the day to day of stress...but in the last few months ive only managed day sessions 8hrs max ...great vid and nice mirror :)
As a rule I prefer over 24 hours solo, but if I'm out with my lass it would be a short session, I tend to fish different methodes as well depending on species. Park lake fishing can be fun. not done it for years. Nice Video shame you didn't get the dog on it!.....
Great vlog again m8 I'm gunna give another go to try and win🤣🤣🤣 I use to love a short session but due to health issues and can't really be mobile as much I have to camp now🤣🤣 bait and wait but it's fishing 🎣 so still love it💯💯🙏 keep up the good vlogs 👍
Not done a short session in a while in all fairness, love a 48hr most of the time lol may get out next week for a few hrs and embrace it again 👍 another great video also
Give it a go, make the most of any time! I’m fortunate that I have multiple setups ready to go for different length sessions, saves a lot of messing about as you can grab the right setup and off you go!
Well fair play for still catching after the dog jumped in 😂👌 and it has to be 24 hour sessions for me. Although just love getting out on the bank at all lol
With disabilities I find a minimum of 24hrs and ideally 48 more relaxing. Used to do lots of short sessions but with all the crap expected by most lakes I find short sessions to much like hard work. The wife and I also do one or 2 5-7 nighters each summer which we both really enjoy.
If it works for you that’s what counts! It’s interesting to see how varied we all our with time on the bank, tactics and venues etc. Shows how it’s such a personal past time and we all make it what we want 👍
For preference, it's between 6 and 24 hrs. On the waters I fish, anything less than 8 hours just doesn't feel worth it and time by the lake is always time we'll spent, but I don't want to go camping and have to take too much.
What a cracking looking Kipper!! 😎👍 well done Boss 👍 short session for me every time 6 hrs if I’m feeling reckless or the missus isn’t nagging I may do 8hrs 😄✌️
Nice catch mate. I don`t really have a preference as I like to do it all - short sessions and even up to 10 days at a time sessions. Although I totally love enjoying those runs waters sometimes its nice to have to work at catching because that can be just as rewarding and even sometimes its just great being in the outdoors just enjoying nature and taking in the air, sounds and feeling submerged in peace. Fishing is such a great release after work and it helps with calming the soul.
Agreed, it’s just great getting out! Not sure if I could handle 10 days on one venue, unless it was in Europe maybe. Then again I did 2 weeks in Canada on the St Lawrence which was epic!
@@TheFishingBloggers I can imagine, being able to try and figure out a new spot is always fun. Getting to relax and truly observe your surroundings is also great
My trips are normally always on a Thursday, it’s easier for my fishing buddy, always somewhere different if possible, lines in at 7am and out at 4pm. Yet to try a night fish. Can I have bug please. Keep up the good work and yes, only bad owners
First ❤ Edit: great short session, didn’t knew that there’s some free lakes lol, I will deffo check around my area. Beautiful mirror indeed 🎉 I started recently 24hr+ sessions so I would probably say that I prefer longer sessions 12-48hr session somewhere there. But you are absolutely right about the short morning or afternoon session, you can catch quicker and not just camp there all day or night 🤣 Again thanks for the giveaway this one is very nice and hopefully it is my day to win it ❤ Cya next Tuesday
For me as my partner also has her own bivvy and rods, it's always a min of 48hrs, bbq/firepit, can of thatchers, job done.....just being out in nature in the quiet is good enough, any fish is a bonus
I have only done 1 24 hrs session before with my dad So 90% of mine are 11-12hrs long When the place that I fish opens and closes . I get dropped of and picked up Great video 🎉 You should try course fishing for other species 🎉
I do lots of fishing for other species, I just haven’t filmed much of it as I like the time away from the camera. Will try and put some more varied content up on the channel soon
Tbh only been fishing since February this year thought I'd pick the rods up again 30 years later lol so never done a short sesh I'm normally like to do 48 hours never done more than 72 hours though great vlog mukka i do enjoy watching the content you upload
In the USA, 99.9% of carp waters are free (with the exception of a $35 “annual” fishing license). Sounds great if you live in the UK I guess, but it can be very difficult to find “consistently” good venues depending where you live. And, with few exceptions, you can forget about catching a 30lb+ carp. That said, I’ll still take mid-to-upper-doubles all day long👍
Prefer a bait & wait 48/72 hr session when I can between work when possible but have just started a pre baiting campaign so I can do some shorter session and hopefully knab some bangers
Short sessions for me suffer from sleep apnea so don't fish overnight. Fish mainly solid bag tactics to nick quick a bite make the most of my time on the bank.

53 now and for last 15 years or so I've been a short session angler , find em' give them something they wanna' eat and touch wood "knock" catch one or two. Shorter sessions I think make anglers sharper and earn their catches on limited time.
A lil pre baiting if at all possible then a quick short session seems to pay dividends. The fishmeal S7 is/would be my bait of choice .
Cheers guys , and good luck ALL 🤞

Totally agree. I think it’s more rewarding being successful on limited time. I don’t get bored on longer sessions, but I get frustrated sat in one spot. Much prefer moving around and ‘hunting’ them.
Your guys videos are so relaxing💜
Awesome 👍
I like a variety, short sessions for stalking upto 5 hours, day sessions when I'm happy to set the alarm early, and night sessions upto 48 hours. Really depends what other diary committments I have along with the weather.
Do you find you fish better on a short session? More active, more efficient?
@@TheFishingBloggers certainly do, minimal kit, usually freelining a bait I can see rather than relying on the alarms which are at home. Also, only time I look at my mobile on a short session is to document the latest catch 🙂
@@stevenicholas709 sounds perfect 👍
Short session for me bite are more rewarding knowing your doing it right 😊
100%
Easier to fish at 100% for short periods than it is for long session. Most angler if they are honest don’t fish at full steam on longer trips
Awesome watch as always cracking mirror as to sessions I like 48-72hr at the moment I'm stuck 4-6 hrs sessions as awaiting heart bypass surgery soon as that sorted ill be back to longer sessions onto the adventure tightlines look forward to the next video 🎣 👊
Do you find yourself more productive on the short sessions?
All my fishing these days are afternoon sessions,can’t beat them,less gear to carry,makes roaming the lake easier too,but do try getting a few 48hr sessions in over the season,to be sociable.👍
Agree, much more active fishing on short sessions
48hrs watch the water and see the fish.Newly back to the bank 2 years off following 2 strokes last year and a heart attack 5months ago desperate to get out 🤞🏻
Hope you can get out soon 👍
Another great video. For me it has to be short sessions as that is what works for me around other commitments. Also feel it makes me work harder so when I do get the chance of a longer session I end up being a bit lazy.😅
100% be lucky 👍
Can’t beat a short session at the weekend mate 👍
I steer clear of weekends if I can!
Awsome video Shaun🎣 nice fish. i do 3-4nights a week on my syndicate an pack up an move if see fish somewhere else. i dont work as have disability 7open heart surgurys since 5days old an going in this friday for key hole surgury. so goin fishing helps my mental health an watchin good youtubers🎣
Thank you 🙏
That’s a vast medical history! Good to see you can get out and get your fix, all the best on Friday 👍
If the Weather is looking good for it then fishing on my syndicate water which is a 50 acre gravel pit that’s up to 20 odd feet deep in places would be my first choice especially with several Target Fish In mind so a 24 -48 hr session is required.Taking on board the atmospheric pressure & wind direction is something to consider as well as the ambient temperature & above all what time of year it is . When doing short stints of say 4-12 hrs I would usually go to a shallower water such as my Club water or local Canal or river as locating & seeing showing carp is a lot easier. Not saying short stints on a large mass of water is not beneficial as during th winter months a good 4-6 hr daytime session can pay dividends if on the Carp ! Horses for courses as the saying goes , but generally I’ll mix it up throughout the Seasons !
Do you fish more efficiently on a shorter sessions with less gear and being more mobile?
It depends on the weather for me. If it’s warm and sunny then a short session so I can make sure I’m in the beer garden for afternoon beers in the sun.
If it’s cold and wet then upto 24 hours.
😂😂😂
Priorities in order 🍺
I like a 24hrs session on a Friday/saturday with my 10 year old son getting away from it all and time together on the bank away from tv/tablets which is rare for youngsters now days I have be carp rods out and he is on my old float rod in the day which I had since I was his age so great to see him catch Rudd etc on that while live are out in the bite alarms for the chunks 👍😂 great video again look forward to next weeks 🎣
Sounds great taking the lad out, can’t beat some fresh air and wildlife!
Handsome carp and spot on observations about dogs and their owners (from an angler and dog owner...)
I don’t own a dog myself, but deal with the result of poor dog control at work!
@@TheFishingBloggers I've had dogs all my life and like to class myself as a responsible dog owner. Unfortunately, not everybody can be bothered, just look at some of the kids.!?.
@@billcollins6705 I know, it’s sad to see
I prefer short sessions, stalking for fish. Thanks for the weekly videos and monthly comps.Tight lines
Thanks for watching what we do 👊🏼👍
I like doing long sessions, but often it's just 24hrs. I will take any oppurtunity to get down the club lake, so if I have an hour or so to spare I'm out the door. Does help that the lakes are less than 10 minutes away.
On the door step always helps with getting some session 👍
A great vlog as usual. Wish we had a park lake like that. I usually go on sessions of around 4 to 6 hours and try to do a 48hr session once a month. I only have 1 car and my wife needs it mostly for work.
That’s always tricky only having one motor, thankfully I’ve got the van just for fishing!
I prefer short sessions as generally that fits in around life😊
Definitely 👍
I love longer sesions just time to rtelax the day to day of stress...but in the last few months ive only managed day sessions 8hrs max ...great vid and nice mirror :)
I get the longer sessions to relax, I just don’t like to feel tied down with so much gear! Always find myself less productive on a longer trip
6- 24mostly but have done a few overnighters and enjoyed them. Great vid again.
Thank you 🙏
Great video as usual, short sessions for me. Either early starts or late finishes.
Thank you 🙏
That’s a nice mirror for a little park lake. Usually battered and bruised.
Yea lovely fish, there’s some nice ones in there!
As a rule I prefer over 24 hours solo, but if I'm out with my lass it would be a short session, I tend to fish different methodes as well depending on species. Park lake fishing can be fun. not done it for years. Nice Video shame you didn't get the dog on it!.....
The dog come flying out of nowhere! I had a bit of footage of the owner walking off but didn’t get the action sadly 😂
nice i love fishing i it my life ceep it up
X
👍👍
Great vlog again m8 I'm gunna give another go to try and win🤣🤣🤣 I use to love a short session but due to health issues and can't really be mobile as much I have to camp now🤣🤣 bait and wait but it's fishing 🎣 so still love it💯💯🙏 keep up the good vlogs 👍
At least you can still get out fishing! Might not be as mobile, but if the rods are in the pond life is good 👍 glad you liked the video
Not done a short session in a while in all fairness, love a 48hr most of the time lol may get out next week for a few hrs and embrace it again 👍 another great video also
Give it a go, make the most of any time! I’m fortunate that I have multiple setups ready to go for different length sessions, saves a lot of messing about as you can grab the right setup and off you go!
Well fair play for still catching after the dog jumped in 😂👌 and it has to be 24 hour sessions for me. Although just love getting out on the bank at all lol
Anytime on the bank is good 😊
Well done 👍 mint wacth
Thanks 🙏
Definitely 24hr sessions, suits making up time with friends and family , love a rare 48 when I can 😅
Fair play 👍
With disabilities I find a minimum of 24hrs and ideally 48 more relaxing. Used to do lots of short sessions but with all the crap expected by most lakes I find short sessions to much like hard work. The wife and I also do one or 2 5-7 nighters each summer which we both really enjoy.
If it works for you that’s what counts! It’s interesting to see how varied we all our with time on the bank, tactics and venues etc. Shows how it’s such a personal past time and we all make it what we want 👍
For preference, it's between 6 and 24 hrs. On the waters I fish, anything less than 8 hours just doesn't feel worth it and time by the lake is always time we'll spent, but I don't want to go camping and have to take too much.
I hate feeling like I’m just camping. Love the outdoors, but when I’m by water I just want to hunt them down and not sit on my ass waiting!
Day session for me 8hrs plus normally get out fortnightly, only do overnighters 2 or 3 times a year due to a dodgy knee.
Have started doing a lot of short day sessions and really enjoy them I'm 72 an love me fishing
Hope I’m still smashing out the session when I’m 72. Fair play 👊🏼👍
What a cracking looking Kipper!! 😎👍 well done Boss 👍 short session for me every time 6 hrs if I’m feeling reckless or the missus isn’t nagging I may do 8hrs 😄✌️
They moan about us going, they moan when we don’t come back! 😂
Nice catch mate. I don`t really have a preference as I like to do it all - short sessions and even up to 10 days at a time sessions. Although I totally love enjoying those runs waters sometimes its nice to have to work at catching because that can be just as rewarding and even sometimes its just great being in the outdoors just enjoying nature and taking in the air, sounds and feeling submerged in peace. Fishing is such a great release after work and it helps with calming the soul.
Agreed, it’s just great getting out! Not sure if I could handle 10 days on one venue, unless it was in Europe maybe. Then again I did 2 weeks in Canada on the St Lawrence which was epic!
@@TheFishingBloggers I can imagine, being able to try and figure out a new spot is always fun. Getting to relax and truly observe your surroundings is also great
@@BornWriter 👊🏼👍
My trips are normally always on a Thursday, it’s easier for my fishing buddy, always somewhere different if possible, lines in at 7am and out at 4pm. Yet to try a night fish. Can I have bug please. Keep up the good work and yes, only bad owners
Sounds like a good fishing fix 👍
First ❤
Edit: great short session, didn’t knew that there’s some free lakes lol, I will deffo check around my area.
Beautiful mirror indeed 🎉
I started recently 24hr+ sessions so I would probably say that I prefer longer sessions 12-48hr session somewhere there.
But you are absolutely right about the short morning or afternoon session, you can catch quicker and not just camp there all day or night 🤣
Again thanks for the giveaway this one is very nice and hopefully it is my day to win it ❤
Cya next Tuesday
Glad you enjoyed the video. Always worth doing some research for local venues, especially parks with lakes and urban areas if you have any. Be lucky 👍
nice video again and it depents how mutch time i have so i like too do it all short end long sesions
Do you fish more efficiently on a shorter session?
For me as my partner also has her own bivvy and rods, it's always a min of 48hrs, bbq/firepit, can of thatchers, job done.....just being out in nature in the quiet is good enough, any fish is a bonus
That’s great that you spend the time with your partner. If you can’t enjoy blanks then why bother, it’s always about just being there first 👌👍
48hr weekend sessions for me, although over winter months prefer to do days!!
Never been much of a weekend angler, always avoided weekends!
I have only done 1 24 hrs session before with my dad
So 90% of mine are 11-12hrs long
When the place that I fish opens and closes .
I get dropped of and picked up
Great video 🎉
You should try course fishing for other species 🎉
I do lots of fishing for other species, I just haven’t filmed much of it as I like the time away from the camera. Will try and put some more varied content up on the channel soon
Tbh only been fishing since February this year thought I'd pick the rods up again 30 years later lol so never done a short sesh I'm normally like to do 48 hours never done more than 72 hours though great vlog mukka i do enjoy watching the content you upload
30 years is a long time away from the bank! Glad you like the videos 👍
I'm afternoon man 2pm till dark 👍 Barbel and Carp. I'm too old and need my sleep in my own bed so enjoy 6ish hours for the WIN 🏆
Need to get some Barbel on the channel ASAP! Can’t beat a short session 👍
In the USA, 99.9% of carp waters are free (with the exception of a $35 “annual” fishing license).
Sounds great if you live in the UK I guess, but it can be very difficult to find “consistently” good venues depending where you live. And, with few exceptions, you can forget about catching a 30lb+ carp.
That said, I’ll still take mid-to-upper-doubles all day long👍
Very limited ‘free’ water in the UK! 😢
Prefer a bait & wait 48/72 hr session when I can between work when possible but have just started a pre baiting campaign so I can do some shorter session and hopefully knab some bangers
Prebaiting is a great tactic, had great results back when I had more time to visit inbetween session 👍
Hi no longer than 12, from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening, Great videos
Thank you 🙏
I like to do weekend sessions and a couple of weeks session chucked in , then 4 weeks away, to keep my partner happy 😊
I couldn’t do weekends, tooooo busy!!!!
I prefer short sessions myself, thanks for yet another excellent video 😊
No worries 👍
In-between for me, means I get to explore more venues. And try different things to see what works
More time on the bank definitely helps for travel and going to different places
Short sessions for me suffer from sleep apnea so don't fish overnight. Fish mainly solid bag tactics to nick quick a bite make the most of my time on the bank.
Solid are a great tactic, not used them much this year but have used them loads previously!
Deadly method when I use amino smoke in it definitely upped my catch rate 🎣🎣🎣
