When I was a kid my dad used to take me fishing before he died. We always did float fishing. It was such a thrill seeing the float bob up then shoot under the water. It’s been 16 years since my dad died and 16 years since I last went fishing. These videos really give me a good nostalgia hit and make me want to get back into it! 😁
Where are you waiting for brother! If this is something you really enjoyed doing with your dad, you might as well want to try it on your own! Take your time and enjoy 👊
My father committed suicide when I was 20, I grew up fishing with him, didn’t fish again till 29. Me and my son will be camping and fishing next week, it’s such a relief from life buddy just gotta do it.
I know this is quite old, I've just watched it with my granddaughter, I'm 60 now, past tutorial, however how I wish we had this tech in the 70s😂, I started at about 10ish, I went fishing for 2 years without a fish. (less stickleback), a day I will never forget, I was fishing the river tees for dace, a man from Nottingham, (the tees back then in winter was a top dace venue) he stopped fishing and came to my peg, he talked me through the whole thing, simler to what you have done, never looked back at, 13 and again at 14 I was selected to fish the national junior championships for "North Yorkshire and south Durham" I can't thank that man enough, now days with tech at you're finger tips, my granddaughter is bang into fishing, this is a joy for both of us, well done.
There can be something so cathartic about watching a subject you love and appreciate be explained to a beginner for the first time. This video reminded me of learning to fish with my Dad many years ago, and gave me the excitement of those first casts all over again. Thanks guys! PS what a wonderful Tench!
I agree, this takes me back to my days float fishing with my schoolmates, I'm going fishing in 2 weeks, might leave the carp gear at home, and take the float fishing rod
52 year old wanting to do some float fishing, bravo on giving me all the information I need to get out there!👍🏻 Did I hear you mention crowborough on a previous video? As I am just down the road. Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻👍🏻
You must not be in the States ,, you remind me of a fine English gentleman fishing the courtyard ponds around your castle as opposed to where I’m from where Jimmy John is cutting up the fish he just hooked for bait and Bubba is falling into the water because he’s drunk 😂😂
Hahah yes more quaint, much less wild, there's been some waters like that around the uk! I did just come back from carp fishing on an Idaho res for two weeks, which was INSANE. So different! Love it when we go fishing in the states or other places in the the world. Love the variety and adventure.
Another great fishing tutorial. I love keeping things simple and doing some float fishing. One of the best bits of advice i was ever given was to remember that "any movement at the reel end of your rod is amplified at the tip. You don't have to move your rod far when you strike." Keep it up lads. I'm hoping to get your book soon.
wow, last time when i catch a tench in my country was 30 years ago. they are almost non existent right now because private lake owners. they care only about carp.
My guess would be probably not, not sure they'd eat or be attracted to eat droppings as there would be little nutrition or enticement. But can't be entirely sure!
Nicely done! Reminded me of my childhood days, when I mostly fished float style! And loved every minute! Over those formative years I did catch silver fish but I was aiming for carp, and caught some good carp too! Up to 15lb and one time caught a 3lb Perch! Great fun!
I need someone’s help I went fishing tonight and really struggled to cast further out. I could only get it a couple metres out. When I made it heavier to cast further the float was just sinking? Pleaaaase advise thank you
Hi , I have the gist of float set up , and tried an attempt of carp set up , it all looked like yours but different, need to learn propper knotts , however, how do you set your Reel incase you get a big fish , bail open , a little bit of drag , do it won't pull your rod in thanks
Hi Carl, just watched your appearance on The Thinking Tackle Podcast. I am one of the boom time covid viewers who after being put on furlough for a month found you and Alex channel. I find your personal story amazing, from being bullied at school, suffering panic attacks, confidence issues but to have the huge determination to provide such honest and wonderful content that you do. To see the video of you and your dad brushing off the snow from your van to go catch carp on the canal, see you help the old man who had fallen on the ice and be soo caring to others and to see the moment you met Ommi truly amazing. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing your future blossom.
Red maggots are illegal in many countries! Dont forget that people. I dont use splitshots to hold it, i use rubber stoppers, so i dont have to cut the setup off when i stop... just take of the top part of tje waggler, slide down the lead and rubber parts all the way down, so i can keep the rod and setup ready to fish in 30sec
Anyone that’s just started fishing be careful when feeding the line through the rings don’t bend the tip of the rod or it will brake very easily and never leave your rod unattended for incase your rod gets pulled in big mistakes I did 15 years ago haha
I would recommend engaging the bail arm and feeding the line out with the clutch at low resistance and reverse shut off when feeding the line through the eyes to avoid beginners ending up in a birds nest situation
Went float fishing for the first time today and hooked a carp which broke my line…wish I watched this video first I was way too excited and reeled him in too quickly. Next time!
I'm not an expert angler by any means, but I'm not a beginner either, but these videos almost make me want to be one just experience that first excitement from learning stuff and with you guys as teachers it would just be a pleasure to do so! That said, for some reason, in this video you really do look like your brothers brother, as in, the physical similarities between you and Alex are really striking, which is something I didn't really notice before hand. Thanks for all the hard work you lads put in, wish you all the best and happy holidays!
How do you slide the split-shots up and down your line during plummeting without destroying your line? Are those split-shots made up of rubber material or something?
Thanks to an old friend I have just got back into fishing after 40 plus years and found your videos a real inspiration to watch. I am currently in the process of noting down all the equipment and tackle I need to get started again, cheers.
Float fishing is always great even after going to bed and watching the float in your brain 😂😂😂. Please i need some tips with fishing in a strong water rivers here in Germany in this time of the year most of the lake are closed only the rivers are open to fishing so i need some tips please
Always mix Groundbait before you leave or at least an hour before you fish. I wouldn’t use a pellet waggler rod for traditional waggler fishing. Your not chucking large pellet wags or splashers. Pellet wag rods have to much back bone and not as sensitive tips for striking through sunk line.
@@nickwhite4632 groundbaits need time to absorb all the water throughly, if you have a GB that has more particles in it such as dynamite baits margin mix than would need more water so more time to work. Best thing to do is before you leave to go fishing in a round bucket over wet your groundbait by the time you’ve got to your venue or match peg for me. It’s very similar to cake mix batter. After that give it a good stir by hand. Make a ball if it sticks well and still feels damp it’s ready to go. To make it even better run it through a riddle to take out the lumps where the GB or particles took up to much water. If it’s dried out a little add a splash more water abd mix round again then riddle it straight off and it will be a lovely heavy fluffy mix 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
To be honest Nick, you won’t notice a difference in your catch rate if you mix your ground bait and hour or even a day before you go fishing. The bait is exactly the same and will do the same thing! Of course after about an hour your perfect mix might have dried out a little but a splash of water sorts it out :)
@@fishingtutorials yes you will notice. Especially in the cooler months when the silvers can take a lump of groundbait and get filled up quicker and pre occupied with lumps of groundbait instead of a carpet of attraction and your small hook bait, a dark active mix is great for roach and Rudd dace, you want a nice sweet, wirh a bit of fish meal in for skimmers and bream. Your 100% fish meal groundbaits are no good this time of year. Food content is to rich. ☺️ love the videos on the main channel keep them coming. 💙
Great video. Very well explained from start to finish when I'm float fishing I normally catch perch and roach I think that's because there is very few tench and rudd in my canal's due to idiots taking the fish home which I really don't agree with again great video
Aged 13 I was fishing on my local river. It was a really warm spring evening. I was using brown bread on a small float. I got a walloping bite out of nowhere. I struggled with the fish for about 4 minutes before it left out of the water 2 to 3 feet. It was big (chub or trout not sure which). Big enough to snap the line.....above the float. For the next couple of hours, until it got dark and I went home, the float went up and down the river covering 20 to 30 metres on each pass. It was infuriating.
Nice catch bro. Could u make video on "why carp fishing rod with float are longer?" Why many of you anglers use 10 feet to 13 feet long fishing rod why not 7 feet rod is used for carp fishing. Plz do reply and make video on this topic brother. ❤ From India
I fished that lake a couple of weeks ago but didn't have anything, managed to catch some very nice Roach from the little stream behind the swim you're in though :)
Hey Carl, I've bought a ready tied float rig, with a size 0,20mm hook and I fish canals alot as I wait for the weather to get better for Carp fishing at reservoirs, do you reckon that with my float rig with a size 0,20 hook I can catch some Perch ?
Really helpful video made everything simple. I used to go fishing with my dad when I was younger and haven't done it for a long time. I wanted to get into it, and after watching your videos, I got some very basic tackle and have been twice over the last couple of weeks and absolutely loved it. Caught absolutely loads nothing special but exactly what you want when getting into it. Already thinking of upgrading my equipment, and after watching your carp setup video, I will be having a go at that, too. Can already tell fishing will do me a world of good. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this tutorial! I have zero fishing experience, this has me itching to get out there and give it a go. Would be interested to know the brand names of the different bits of kit you're using and roughly how much it all cost. Is waggler float fishing the best for a newbie, or is there another type of float fishing better suited for beginners? Either way, thank you my man!
I've been out of the fishing game for a got to be 8 or so years now and just starting to get back in to it and stumbled across your channel looking for helpful bits ans ho early have to say your videos are just so easy to understand and packed full of helpful information, your channel is definitely one of my new favourites to watch now! Keep up the good work pal!
Ive always struggled with float fishing...been trying for about 2 years now and usually resort to removing rhe float and either ledgering or using a feeder but last weekend was the first time i caught on a float although technically the float was irrelevant as a bream took my maggots before the float had hit the water. After that i shortened up to about 2 foot depth in about 8 foot of water and caught 17 in the next 3 hours, mix of bream, roach, rud and a small mirror 😅 very helpful video though
Thanks for a great video 🤩 I am learning to fish again as I hadn’t been for about 30 years!!! I’ve been fortunate to have a great friend who has taken me 3 times so far and has help me build up some confidence. My last trip is on You Tube, Only Fools and Fishing where we went for Chub. Anyway I’m enjoying your channel and learning lots, keep up the good work 🤩🤩🤩
Hy guys, i love your videos and they help me so much at the begining of my fishing hobby. I would like to see a feeder fishing sesion for beginers. Good luck in making next videos.
Cheers Marin! Glad to hear they help! I've only got a method feeder for carp tutorial if it's any help, I will look into doing a more broad feeder fishing tutorial :) ruclips.net/video/3TjpPwyMgBk/видео.html
I've fished once in my life, when I was about 12, but I'm looking at giving it a proper go this summer using a 3 - 4 mile stretch of the thames near me. Would you recommend float or pole to begin with?
Hi sir, in chinese, for more float sensitive, they shot the float sink about 70%, then they will add bait to the hook to let the float sink 90% (now the hook bait just touch the bottom), i think this is very sensitive, when the bait is out of the hook, the float will up to 70% and we know that no more bait on hook Comback in your tutorial, i still dont know how you treat with float, splitshot, hook weight and the presentation of hook bait at the bottom. Can you help to explain in detail? Im gratefull thank you sir
Love watching your videos it helps me a lot and to appreciate the sport more than what I do thank you very much Carl and Alex. Best angler Carl 100% doesn’t always go on about mushrooms and birds when fishing lol 😂
I was fishing at a proper pond today with sweetcorn for 8 hours about 1ft and a half deep never plummet it only catched 1 bream where am I going wrong everyone else was catching
Used this tutorial to set up my rod and start float fishing. Caught my first ever perch, bream and rud!! Thank you so much 😊!! Thomas Godfrey 13 years old!!
Might seem a dumb thing to ask but if u had a float saying 2AA would u add two AA locking shoot and if it says 3AA would u add 3 AAA two one side one the other side ? And a couple of stoz number 8 and 10 down the line near the hook
I like the tutorial very much. But i jave a question. My mom bough wome boilies without knowing i only float fish. Can you use a boilie in float fishing ?
Can I ask, if a float has a stated split shot weight, how do you know how much to place above and below the float & how much allowance remains to place down toward the hook length? This always catches me out.
I've give up carp fishing just got bored waiting for alarms to go off. Felt like I wernt fishing. So it's nice to see float fishing vid also love feeder fishing as that's what I done before the carp buzz got me.now 51 yrs of being a fisherman I'd say 26 yrs was carp fishing only so last 2yrs gone back to float and feeder and have lots of guru items love the drag line I use 8lb drag line and very strong so far had 3 twenty pound carp on it whilst feeder fishing wasn't expecting them on mixed fishery.
I have been watching your fishing with Carl videos for ages and didn't no you had this channel too I have now just purchased a rod and reel and some basic tackle I'm just waiting for a free weekend to get out very inspiring and also with this channel a great help
Well, I m gladly surprised by you ( I subscribed) This video deserves an A+ or a 10 points in a 1-10 classification. I will recommend your channel from now on. Very good job! Excellent! Regards. Fred.
Loved the video and followed all the advise on my first waggled fishing trip. Happy to catch a good perch and bream. Trouble is, for some reason I can’t cast very far. Not sure what I’m doing wrong the waggler just doesn’t want to fly far? Happy for any and all suggestions
What a great video. I’m a dad who’s never fished and my son is learning so these are quality. Can I ask with lots of weight towards hook end does that sit on river bed and bit of line with hook floats back up just above river bed!? Hope this makes sense
When I go fishing I don't use the biggest hook but I will use the strongest line cuz once I caught a 6-20 kilo carp and my line broke, I saw him, he was the size of my body (13 yo example) and now he has to swim whit the hook, I hope that on Friday I chach same fish to take a pic finally and remove old hook, Love yo vids mate
I don't think moving the split shot to adjust depth is a good idea. At least not for begginers. You are more likely to damage and curl the line like this, which will make it tangle more frequently on top of making the line weaker.
Me being in America......it must suck to fish in Europe............you guys WAY OVER THINK this .......I can go out just about any time with a $25 rig, rod and reel... and catch a10/ 20/30Lbs fish ie "carp" with $3 in worms or a can of corn, 98 cents................woww..... I'm in, Michigan USA.........
The first and only tench that I caught the bite was very strange, the float went down but slowly slide away but if I stuck to early so I had to allow the float to almost disappear out of view then I struck and connected and like I said I caught my first tench 😊

you can do a side cast if there are treabove you

Anyone that’s just started fishing be careful when feeding the line through the rings don’t bend the tip of the rod or it will brake very easily and never leave your rod unattended for incase your rod gets pulled in big mistakes I did 15 years ago haha
Which lake is this looks great for starting at??
I would recommend engaging the bail arm and feeding the line out with the clutch at low resistance and reverse shut off when feeding the line through the eyes to avoid beginners ending up in a birds nest situation
Totally agree. Easy with a bait runner reel too.
I find Float stops and pre loaded floats are better as you don’t have the BB’s damaging your line and then just one split shot near the hook length
What float do i use for different depths? I have a few that say 2AA up to a 5AA ? Is there a method of finding out ?
Went float fishing for the first time today and hooked a carp which broke my line…wish I watched this video first I was way too excited and reeled him in too quickly. Next time!
Easily done! Good luck next time Sean!

How do you slide the split-shots up and down your line during plummeting without destroying your line? Are those split-shots made up of rubber material or something?
They're made of soft metal :) and easily slide to adjust depth

What if you don't have groundbait
Just use a hook put some corn worms bread plastic maggots or plastic worms if ur targeting carp use weights if u have them
Ive no interest in fishing, just want an excuse to sit in nature

That's a good idea! I'll look into it :)
Cheers Mark!
Really helpful video made everything simple. I used to go fishing with my dad when I was younger and haven't done it for a long time. I wanted to get into it, and after watching your videos, I got some very basic tackle and have been twice over the last couple of weeks and absolutely loved it. Caught absolutely loads nothing special but exactly what you want when getting into it. Already thinking of upgrading my equipment, and after watching your carp setup video, I will be having a go at that, too. Can already tell fishing will do me a world of good. Thank you.
Mafriend great video . But not worth watching with 2x 20sec adverts every 3 min . But yeh great vid Mafriend. 👍 respect from glasgow 🏴 🎣 🐟
Really enjoyed this tutorial! I have zero fishing experience, this has me itching to get out there and give it a go. Would be interested to know the brand names of the different bits of kit you're using and roughly how much it all cost. Is waggler float fishing the best for a newbie, or is there another type of float fishing better suited for beginners? Either way, thank you my man!
Easiest is to follow this method pal. You can get a start kit on Amazon for sub £50. Have fun!
I've been out of the fishing game for a got to be 8 or so years now and just starting to get back in to it and stumbled across your channel looking for helpful bits ans ho early have to say your videos are just so easy to understand and packed full of helpful information, your channel is definitely one of my new favourites to watch now! Keep up the good work pal!
Ahh happy to hear this :) thank you mate! Enjoy your fishing!
Taking my 14 year old night fishing this weekend. Some really helpful tips.
Great to hear! :) Hope you had a good one!
The positioning beads should not clamp the float too tightly, otherwise it will affect the upright effect of the float.
once youve put the reel on the rod, dip the handle in the water. this will make the cork swell and really hold the reel in place.
Nice tip!
@@fishingtutorials something my old man taught me. he was an old school fisherman. no fancy gadgets in his day.
Awesome
Ive always struggled with float fishing...been trying for about 2 years now and usually resort to removing rhe float and either ledgering or using a feeder but last weekend was the first time i caught on a float although technically the float was irrelevant as a bream took my maggots before the float had hit the water. After that i shortened up to about 2 foot depth in about 8 foot of water and caught 17 in the next 3 hours, mix of bream, roach, rud and a small mirror 😅 very helpful video though
I love fishing love love is love my love fishing love
❤
Thanks for a great video 🤩 I am learning to fish again as I hadn’t been for about 30 years!!! I’ve been fortunate to have a great friend who has taken me 3 times so far and has help me build up some confidence. My last trip is on You Tube, Only Fools and Fishing where we went for Chub. Anyway I’m enjoying your channel and learning lots, keep up the good work 🤩🤩🤩
You're welcome!! Thank you! Good luck with it, hope you've had fun float fishing again :)
Hy guys, i love your videos and they help me so much at the begining of my fishing hobby. I would like to see a feeder fishing sesion for beginers. Good luck in making next videos.
Cheers Marin! Glad to hear they help! I've only got a method feeder for carp tutorial if it's any help, I will look into doing a more broad feeder fishing tutorial :) ruclips.net/video/3TjpPwyMgBk/видео.html
I've fished once in my life, when I was about 12, but I'm looking at giving it a proper go this summer using a 3 - 4 mile stretch of the thames near me. Would you recommend float or pole to begin with?
Am I Right was that filmed at Latchetts Lake
Yep!
Hi sir, in chinese, for more float sensitive, they shot the float sink about 70%, then they will add bait to the hook to let the float sink 90% (now the hook bait just touch the bottom), i think this is very sensitive, when the bait is out of the hook, the float will up to 70% and we know that no more bait on hook
Comback in your tutorial, i still dont know how you treat with float, splitshot, hook weight and the presentation of hook bait at the bottom.
Can you help to explain in detail? Im gratefull thank you sir
Love watching your videos it helps me a lot and to appreciate the sport more than what I do thank you very much Carl and Alex. Best angler Carl 100% doesn’t always go on about mushrooms and birds when fishing lol 😂
I was fishing at a proper pond today with sweetcorn for 8 hours about 1ft and a half deep never plummet it only catched 1 bream where am I going wrong everyone else was catching
Used this tutorial to set up my rod and start float fishing. Caught my first ever perch, bream and rud!! Thank you so much 😊!! Thomas Godfrey 13 years old!!
Nice one Thomas!! :)
@@fishingtutorials Thank you so much for replying!!!!
That's ok :) You're welcome!
Great video mate, im thinking of getting into course fishing and your video has given me some great info, simple and to the point.
Might seem a dumb thing to ask but if u had a float saying 2AA would u add two AA locking shoot and if it says 3AA would u add 3 AAA two one side one the other side ? And a couple of stoz number 8 and 10 down the line near the hook
I like the tutorial very much. But i jave a question. My mom bough wome boilies without knowing i only float fish. Can you use a boilie in float fishing ?
Got a different reel on to the one you set up with? ;) cracking video as always chaps!
Two rods for the two spots I was fishing so I didn’t have to plumb the depth each time I switched area! ;)
@@fishingtutorials ahhh I see! Sensible! Keep up the fantastic videos lads! We love them!
Can I ask, if a float has a stated split shot weight, how do you know how much to place above and below the float & how much allowance remains to place down toward the hook length? This always catches me out.
I caught a giant perch thanks to you
Ah nice! Well done!!
Hey dude. Love the videos. Only thing I can’t figure out as a beginner is what size split shots to use. Any general advice please?
I've give up carp fishing just got bored waiting for alarms to go off. Felt like I wernt fishing. So it's nice to see float fishing vid also love feeder fishing as that's what I done before the carp buzz got me.now 51 yrs of being a fisherman I'd say 26 yrs was carp fishing only so last 2yrs gone back to float and feeder and have lots of guru items love the drag line I use 8lb drag line and very strong so far had 3 twenty pound carp on it whilst feeder fishing wasn't expecting them on mixed fishery.
I have been watching your fishing with Carl videos for ages and didn't no you had this channel too I have now just purchased a rod and reel and some basic tackle I'm just waiting for a free weekend to get out very inspiring and also with this channel a great help
You can’t use ground bait on most commercial ponds, day ticket water 🤷♂️
Well, I m gladly surprised by you ( I subscribed)
This video deserves an A+ or a 10 points in a 1-10 classification.
I will recommend your channel from now on.
Very good job!
Excellent!
Regards.
Fred.
Loved the video and followed all the advise on my first waggled fishing trip. Happy to catch a good perch and bream. Trouble is, for some reason I can’t cast very far. Not sure what I’m doing wrong the waggler just doesn’t want to fly far? Happy for any and all suggestions
Video của bạn rất hay và thú vị😊
I don't know why, but you remind me of a young guy who is really into trains. :)
What a great video. I’m a dad who’s never fished and my son is learning so these are quality. Can I ask with lots of weight towards hook end does that sit on river bed and bit of line with hook floats back up just above river bed!? Hope this makes sense
When I go fishing I don't use the biggest hook but I will use the strongest line cuz once I caught a 6-20 kilo carp and my line broke, I saw him, he was the size of my body (13 yo example) and now he has to swim whit the hook, I hope that on Friday I chach same fish to take a pic finally and remove old hook,
Love yo vids mate
I don't think moving the split shot to adjust depth is a good idea. At least not for begginers. You are more likely to damage and curl the line like this, which will make it tangle more frequently on top of making the line weaker.
Found this one out the hard way 😢
Me being in America......it must suck to fish in Europe............you guys WAY OVER THINK this .......I can go out just about any time with a $25 rig, rod and reel... and catch a10/ 20/30Lbs fish ie "carp"
with $3 in worms or a can of corn, 98 cents................woww.....
I'm in, Michigan USA.........
Yeah USA is a different world haha
We just spent two weeks in Idaho absolutely hauling... totally different to fishing in the UK. Was good to be back :)
Amazing new content lads use are amazing at the job use do happy to see use create more exiting videos 😆😆
Spelling not your strongpoint mate?
Whats this lake called would love to take my son here for his first few fishing sessions
The first and only tench that I caught the bite was very strange, the float went down but slowly slide away but if I stuck to early so I had to allow the float to almost disappear out of view then I struck and connected and like I said I caught my first tench 😊
