When I lived in Molesey as a nipper the spot where the Ember meets the Thames used to be great for catching of all fish Flounder's.
Hello, and thank you for your comment..😊 Moleseys a lovely spot to live, one of my favourite areas.. I live close to Portsmouth so a bit of an expense trek for me, but as the saying goes, it's Smiles An Hour not Miles an hour.. Lol..😉 Bring on June 16th 🤜💥🤛
I am now also living just outside Pompey in Waterlooville.@@MUCKER671
Hi buddy, sorry about the delay in answering but my RUclips Studio App is playing up, I'm only getting intermittent messages showing..🥴🥴 I worked in the Warehouse at Asda in Waterlooville High Street many years ago.. Good times..!
Amazing content buddy! 🔥
Thank you bud it's much appreciated.. Doing Some tidel stretches in the next week or so hopefully..😊
Great video as always. Looks perfect for dropshotting and jigging to me.
Definitely drop shotting in the tributary, it's one of the best spots in flooded conditions, I'd be there tomorrow if i could. Especially fishing stealthy, dropping luncheon meat in amongst the tree roots that are normally part of the park in normal conditions. Out filming in my Bellyboat in the Harbour again next few days, 3c water 4c air, ouch..! Gonna be squeaking like Micky Mouse i recon.🥴😂
5.44 nice looking swim
Another fantastic guide vid Mucker, cheers for posting and all the best mate.
Glad you enjoyed it bud, plenty more to come..
Moseley next.. Very posh..!!😊👍
When i was a kid it was mole ember where they both meet was called the garage carry on up the ember and you come to the splash where cars drive through carry on up the mole you come to the cow bridge…. That’s 50years ago…. Probably all changed 👍 good vids mate
Hi John, hope you're well.. Thank you very much for the extra info it's much appreciated..👍
I'm hoping to do some more free fishing vids soon and hopefully live streaming some fishing on the Thames from my new Bellyboat / Floattube this summer "when it arrives"..! Should be interesting..🥴
The Hampton Court River Ember area is going to be one of my target areas and Shepperton Wier.
Thanks again for your input..😊👍
Technically it's the Mole mate 😉
Cheers bud.👍It's a difficult one co's on Google Maps it's the Ember, that's all the info i had to go on im afraid🥴
I didn't even know there was a couple of Wiers till i was very gratefully informed a while later.
Thanks again for the info mate..😊👍
Great video and info, definately going to give this a go. Thanks for posting.
Pleasure bud..😊 Its a great spot in a flood, fishing under the trees that are normally exposed in normal conditions with a large lump of Luncheon Meat as Bait..
Loads more on the Thames in my playlists if you didn't already know..👍
Good luck and Tight Lines buddy..😊👍
Years of research...you are a goldmine! Regards Mick
Pleasure..😊👍🐟🎣
Great info again
Thanks
Pleasure bud..! Thanks for the comment 😊👍
Another great video
Cheers bud, most appreciated..😁😁
Great guides, thanks. Feel like you should have more subscribers, but also glad these spots are kept to smaller numbers 😀 Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for that buddy, most appreciated..😊 Will do..!👍
Fantastic barbel spots there spent plenty of summers there
Can be really good in flooded conditions..😊👍
Hi Mucker, these are easily to most informative videos on u tube, thank you so much for trying to help your fellow anglers. I'm probably setting myself up to get slaughtered here but i;ve tried i recon 8or 9 times at a few different spots, last season and this fishing for chubb and barbel and never had so much as a bite, i have also asked other anglers when i,ve seen them and its the same story, where have all the barbel gone ( i do normally have success at all other venues so not a complete novice ) I,ve seen a few perch come out but not anything else, any tips.
cheers
Hi bud thanks for the nice comment it's most appreciated..👍 Not sure if you noticed that i talk about fishing in flooded conditions, its always been the most productive time for all the bigger species on the Thames.
My first choice with the really low water conditions at the moment has to be the Kingslawn section (the second half of Part four in my playlist. I cast straight out just short of the first line of boys, no further out co's you'll snag the ropes that link the Bouys together.. Second choice in these low conditions is Aragon Avenue or Cigarette Island (part 6 & 7 in the playlist. I normally rap a large and really sticky, very high oil Trout Pellet paste around my weight and completely cover the Boilie and Hook with a piece the size of a Walnut. "Tip" there should still be paste on the weight etc after a few hours in the water. Aragon and Cigarette Island can respond well to flicking Maggots out at regular intervals without casting for at least 2 to 4 hours using a waggler on the drop for the Chub. Just lookout for them breaking the surface, keep feeding & wait some more (patients is a virtue here) short and long hooklenghs from 3 inches to 3 metres can work in low conditions.
Hope this helps you, let me know how you get on and Tight Lines to you buddy..!!😊 Hopefully..🎣🐟
Terry, heard stories I believe to be true of a 20 Lb barbel caught 2 weeks back, and I know 100% fact of an absolute beast of a fish (different species) caught last weekend, tight lines.
Hi Mack, thanks for helping out with a bit of much needed good news, absolute monsters by the sounds of it..
Me next hopefully..🤣😊👍
Great video. I can imagine you get a few yobs at night down there though
Thanks for the comment bud it's really appreciated😊
It can definitely be interesting at night on that stretch sometimes, most are just out for a good time but there can always be the odd looser to come and spoil things for people.
That's how life is nearly everywhere nowadays..😔
Thanks again..😊👍
I know somebody was killed over near that island
My hotspots a lot big pikes
A lot nice perch
Now Looking for a zander 😆
Nice video
Thanks for the nice comment, i hope you catch a big Zander, very hard to find..🙏👍🎣🐟
Let me know if you do..😊
Pikes you mean pike we know what you do with these pikes and i bet they do not get returned matey 😢
@@sonnydavidson7983 crazy?
@@Pescapesca8 catch and release no disrespect if your one of the good guys who return the fish then accept my apology, but if you do take the fish to eat then stick that apology where the sun dont shine good day sir.
Hi never fished the Hampton court part of Thames looks great. I like my float fishing. More of a pleasure fisherman really will that ok on this part of the Thames thanks
Cigarette Island at Hampton Court is a very productive spot for barbel and chub when the rivers in flood but in these low conditions I would suggest the tributary called the River Ember which intersects at Cigarette Island.
You'll see at the end of the point there's a set of Cabbage / Lilies on the opposite side, i normally use a Pole three quarters of the way out towards the cabbages etc. Worms and Maggots for the Bream..
I flick Maggots into the Thames to the left of you while fishing with the pole in the Ember, after a couple of hours of drip feeding the Maggots in i run a stick float down for those big fat greedy Chub.
Parking is expensive for the Thames co's of the Train Station.
Not sure how old you are but if you decide to go in the evenings and night-time (definitely the best time to go)
Take a friend with you, I'm not trying to worry you but there have been the occasional reports of trouble on the bank at cigarette Ireland.. I have fish there quite a lot and have never had any problems but I thought I'd better just warn you.. Hope this helps you buddy..🐟🎣😊👍
@@MUCKER671 ok that's great yeah it's fine couple of us going thanks for the info again
No probs and good luck..😊🤞
Used to fish here when I was a kid in the 70s how the council has let it go none of those trees and bushes were there and it was a clean mown bank you could fish anywhere until the police moved you on
I know how you feel, it can be really difficult to film sometimes, but i feel as though i should show things exactly how they are as I would hate to give a false impression of somewhere on film if you know what I mean.
It would be nice for the right person to see these videos and could actually do something about it..🙏
The rubbish can be very bad sometimes..!
I used to pick what i could up till this Covid Business..
Thanks so much for your input it's really appreciated..😊👍
I fished this stretch about 15yrs ago and the bank from the bridge to where the Ember comes out was totally clear back then. It has really changed and I was quite surprised when watching this video, to how over grown it is now.
Thanks for the comment..😊
It definitely looks more Amazonian than English now. lol..😁
I've noticed lots of other spots that are much harder to access over the last few year on the Thames.
Went to Shepperton Wier yesterday and the nice but steep cut grass banks to the right of the car park are totally overgrown and unfinishable now.
The new Walton Bridge design has completely stopped angler's from accessing that specific area by moving the road back from the river & only Blue Badge Parking bays..
Could go on about the residents living opposite some swims who have everything but always want more, are planting trees in accessible swims opposite there homes which blocks us out unless you're willing to do some let's say DIY gardening..
Not sure where it'll end up in the future, real shame as that area of the Thames is spozed to be free to access for all..
Biggest participation sport in the UK and one of the hardest to access if you're unstable or Disabled nowadays..😔👍
@@MUCKER671 going through your fishing knowledge videos and I must say thank you for sharing your 40 years of knowledge and putting together many useful videos on the Thames, Itchen and Wye. Your effort is much appreciated:)
Such a shame that public access is being NIMBY'd. I've moved from east to west London and must admit the access around the Thames is still better than the Lea and the canals in east. Let's hope public access comes back so the kids can grow up fishing
Thank you very much for your common it's really appreciated and let's hope access to these rivers will improve but I won't hold my breath. It's a pleasure doing these videos for people, I've had so many comments thanking me for all sorts of different reasons which makes me want to do lots more Vids in the future.
Your a star..😊👍🎣🐟
Problem with that spot on fagbutt island is its always taken. Im sure theres a group of anglers who tag team the spot because ive never been able to get on it in the last 5 years.
Obviously a productive spot, but if you got a boat and you drive up the ember to the weir you are laughing especially if you like pike fishing.
Thanks for the comment and your right about it being busy, i normally fish here when the river is in major flood conditions i.e when the river has burst its banks, fishing in amongst the tree roots with Luncheon Meat.
Love the idea of Motoring to the Weir on the River Ember, any idea how far the Wier is bud.?
@@MUCKER671 its about a 1 minute slow boat ride to the weir buddy
Thanks for that bud, I'll be taking a trip up there towards the end of the season hopefully.
Great info thanks..😊👍
It's the river Mole coming out there, the Ember came into the Mole below the weir by the petrol station but hardly exists anymore due to the flood relief channel.
Thanks for the extra info it's really appreciated.
Hoping to do some fishing & filming from my new Bellyboat down that way soon.
Quick question for you, do you know if there's anough depth for the Bellyboat from Cigarette Island up towards the Wier?
@MUCKER671 It's been over 50 yrs since I got near the weir, seem to remember about 30 inches deep full gravel bottom, from road bridge up, from railway bridge to Thames was deeper maybe 4 foot or so. That weir was one of the spots where baby salmon were put in and was out of bounds for fishing.
Thanks for the great info.👍
I'll look into it a bit more before braving the sunken shopping trolleys that will no doubt be present. Lol..
Cheers bud..😊👍
Do you remember the water splash
Hi bud, I've never heard of the water splash, where abouts is it, near the Wier.?
Hi Mucker do you know of blue badge disability card holders get free parking in the stations car park?
Cheers
Hi bud, i couldn't remember for the life of me the info on Blue Badge parking so i looked back at the vid of the parking sign's, zoomed in and found this for you. At the time of posting the video in 2021 it says Blue Badge holders pay the standard price same as non Blue Badge holders but free for 20mins in the short stay / pick up bays. It's a real shame co's it's a great area for fishing, just expensive after fuel & parking. Costs me roughly £50 in fuel each time i go anywhere near my free fishing Vid spots.. Ouch..🥴 Hope this helps you in some way..😊👍
@@MUCKER671 thank you
Pleasure, any time..😊
What are the rules around fishing and taking your catches from here? Is there a breeding season?
Hi bud, it's the closed season for course fishing on all rivers in England at the moment. 16th June is when the rivers are open for fishing again. You will need to purchase a Rod Licence from the Environment Agency before you go. You are only legally allowed to take certain species from the Tidal Thames area which starts bellow Richmond Lock. It's not good to take any course fish from any rivers in the UK because the Uk is a tiny Island that has only small rivers compared to Europe. The breeding stocks are very small so it makes it impossible for the rivers to catch up. Most of are rivers are not restocked by the E.A..
Hope this helps you bud..😊👍
@@MUCKER671 Thanks for getting back to me friend. In my country we rarely every have restrictions on fishing.
What's your opinion on places like the River Mole/Mickleham?
You'll need a more delicate approach on the River Mole, it's more like a smaller creek compared to the Thames.
It used to be great for most species in the late 80s & 90s but so many fish have been taken out over the years it has never recovered. Pollution has been a major problem as well.
I would suggest natural baits like Worms dead Maggots or any smaller high oil Trout Pellets as hookbait and feed if necessary. I very rarely loose feed on the Thames just sticky Trout Pellet Paste around the weight etc.
Hope this helps you out and good luck with your fishing adventures buddy..
