I live on a boat on a fairly deep section of river in uk. If i fish far side u lose em. If I fish at any depth on my near side deeper than 12 foot its dangerous too. If I fish in 6 foot to 12 ft neaR side i lose nowt. The beauty of wild fish is you choose where to hook em and bait accordingly. There's nowt worse than leaving yer tackle in a carp.

@HiLuxLife653 жыл бұрын
Steve I have fished the Lot a few times over the years mainly when on family holidays just fishing for the barbel so know it fairly well in different spots one thing I always wondered when watching Jim's vids is why fish across the current to the far bank why not fish along the bank you are closest to ?
@stevebriggs46383 жыл бұрын
Basically fishing across gives you more options and also gives you a better angle to pull the fish away from snags which they invariably want to be around. Fishing the near side would be the easiest option but in two trips now all of the fish I’ve landed from various areas have all come from the far margin.

I'm always amazed at how big the boats are out there... there's us English with little 17 footers and shallow drafts to not catch the bottom... I guess the rivers out there are much deeper even in the margins. Do you know what make and model boat Jim has got?
@stevebriggs46383 жыл бұрын
Hi Ben it didn’t seem that big after three or four days 😆 yes the rivers are bigger and deeper for sure. I don’t know what make of boat Jim’s is? His boat is really nice a bit bigger than the one we had with seats on the back, I know he bought it over there after seeing it in a marina.

I was thinking about can you use salt or sugar to conserve and harden freezer baits? Btw super awesome video like always:D
@stevebriggs46383 жыл бұрын
Yes absolutely I've used both to preserve freezer baits for long trips over many years. Salt is the better one as sugar tends to turn to liquid if there's any moisture in the baits. For actually hardening the baits air-drying is still the best way.

All waters tend to be a bit different, but I mainly use Citruz pop ups over pellets or crumbed boilies and hemp or a mixture of all three. Some waters will accept a lot more bait than others but I tend to just fish for one bite at a time.
