As a woman, wanting to start a male dominated hobby can be intimidating. Watching Omi was encouraging, and helped to relieve some anxiety of finally stepping into a tackle shop. Would love to see more of this and your shared experience :)

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzfaq.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

11:22 the look on Omi’s face is exactly what fishing is about, the feeling reward and excitement after landing a nice fish Great videos Carl, very informative and easy to understand

Nice video. Just been on a fishing weekend with my young grandson; we've both got a copy of your book, which is an excellent (and beautifully illustrated) read for all anglers of any experience. I find the section about knots especially useful as I have forgotten almost everything after being away from fishing for so long.

I live in Croatia and ehen i started fishing, i watched your videos all the time, still enyoi them after 2 years

Im a keen carp fisherman now but we all started somewhere, most of us started at a young age float fishing and no matter how many big carp you catche there's just something magical, exciting and nostalgic about going back to your roots watching a float and catching the same fish you fished for as a kid, it never gets old.

As a viewer I love seeing Omi's evolution from a woman walking by you when you were taking a picture of your catch to having her own gear, knowing the species of fish etc. As a fisherman of 32 years I love seeing someone gain a passion for fishing.

I have been away from fishing for many years however recently started again, i've had some lovely carp and all thanks to you're brilliant tutorials, i am literally binge watching all your videos and making notes along the way... thank you and god bless to you both!

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time for old anglers like me returning to the UK and the sport after many years overseas. Clear instructions, tips and great videos. I will order the book :) Cheers Mate.

I started fishing long before this gent was born.. and I always learn something new from his videos. Especially from his Carp videos. I made the move from course to carp fishing 6 years ago and his advice has tripled my catch rate.

Have you ever noticed that when you use mixed maggots that you always catch more fish on the Red one's!

Just got my first fishing rod, can't wait to use it

Thanks for the video, Carl and Omi! I am a super beginner, so these were some very good tips! I think I went back and binged the Tutorials videos that I had missed a couple of months back and this is my favorite one. Onward and upward!!

Great information for new people to fishing Carl . Perhaps it will also help people who fish already. Nice vid Carl 👍

i have recently just come back to fishing after being away from it for 15 years and also selling all my tackle that i had. i brought a waggler rod and everything needed yesterday and i can't wait to get back on the bank. your videos are reminding me so much of what i have forgotten especially about the knotts. i'm hopefully going to get to go on my days off work next week

I am from the USA so my first fishing experience was on a dock fishing for bluegill such good memories.

Just wanted to say stay awesome Carl and Om! Your hard work and providing us such professional quality content for free is greatly appreciated as always. I wish you both nothing but the best! Cheers!

Another fantastic video. I quite like despite 41 years of fishing under my belt I can watch and enjoy a video for beginners. Keep the good work going 👍👍👍👍

Just ordered your book after my first fishing trip with my girlfriend and her grandad in Poland! Back in the UK now and looking forward to learning more.

Love your tutorials! Always simple and understandeable

I've been fishing for s very long time now but I ll still learn new stuff every day. Great vid guys!!👍💯

This will be useful because I recently got my hands on a 3m telescopic whip, from the Angling Direct deal. I've been fishing for 9 months now, but with float rods and feeder rods, so really I had no clue what to do with the whip until i saw this video, cheers guys.

You live in such a beautiful part of the world. I really loved just seeing you get to the lake.

I remember my first time fishing, I used only one magot out of the pint I bought, I cast three times and then got a birds nest at the reel! Swore I'd never fish again. Then I hit my twenties and started carp fishing! Ah! Fond memories.😄

I personally think i am not a beginner and i have been fishing for 5 years now, but still i love watching this video even if i know whats needed/required to hook the fish. Great job, thanks for the entertainment.

I'm going fishing for the first time in 15 years at the end of the month, your videos have got me so pumped I cant wait, ive been gathering bits and pieces for the past couple of weeks and now I'm just waiting for the big day! Thank you for your videos guys!

Great video again at an outstanding venue

It looks like you both had a great day out fishing. That is what life is all about, enjoying yourself. Thank you for your video.

Just ordered 2 copies of the book for myself and my son. It’s our first time fishing together tomorrow can’t wait 👍. All of your videos are full of excellent tips and advice. Thanks.

I broke my hand before my fishing trip with buddies, and I was pole fishing with one hand while the others were fishing for carps with boilies etc. And it was surprisingly fun, I caught so many species I think I will actually be doing it for fun in the future

Thanks so much for this video Carl! I’ve wanted to get in to fishing for so long and didn’t even know about a whip. Makes me feel more comfortable being able to get started on my own.

Thank you for another great video!! Me n my boy love watching these

Really nice video. This will encourage people to start the sport.

Your book is really beautifully hand illustrated, amazing job both of you! Regards, Mason.

Been watching your channel for years, well your main one, I don't know why I've never watched this one, just subscribed :) I do think you should take Omi on a fishing holiday for big carp, be epic watching her catching a big fish! Keep up the awesome work.

I cant wait to show my 1 Yr old these videos when he's abit older and hopfully find his bug fir fishing thanks for another great video👍

My first time fishing, I bought set on Amazon. Telescopic spinning rod for like £40, came with everything I needed - I just had no idea how to use it!! Would’ve loved a video on that haha.

Really nice video and Omi is a keeper, hope you guys have many happy fishing adventures together 🎣

Love your videos. Really captures the true essence of fishing

Your a good egg! I've learnt alot from your videos and can now go fishing on my own (with the missis) and blag her i can fish like a pro 😉 good man keep it up and enjoy your fishing... the both of you that is. Thanks

Ommie is so humble, it’s good to see. Well done guys 👏

Got the book ……. EXCELLENT! Thank you!

As usual a great video, I love Omi's hood too

Well done Carl and Omey, nice video for beginners, 👍

One of the best things about fishing is how simple it can be .

Hi i just wanted to say i love you’re videos and you really help me i have never went fishing and monday i am going even tho i am a bit scared but hopefully i catch a fish ❤

Lovely video, and well done Omi

Great video well done both of you again watching sat on my box fishing the pole

Great video mate. I've got one of those whips for my 4 Yr old daughter she loves it. They are great fun for a very good price. Such a great way for youngsters to get involved in fishing.

great vid for Beginners Carl Lovely to see the Tench at the end

What about great video now I now know how to fish with a pole.🐟👍

Great book for the river fishing helped loads✌🏻poster in nice too pal ✌🏻👍🏻

Lovely video 🤩 well done both of you 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Buen video explicativo, buena tenca, Agradecido por vuestros videos, un saludo desde España

I recently got a copy of the book, and it is really helpful for me, so thanks ;)

I watched one like this of yours 18 months ago. I'm now big into it, same as my kids. The stages of development through the fishing journey. From whips to tods and reels, into method feeder then for the big carp. I have a pb of 28lb 7oz my 11 year old girl 11lb 2oz mirror and my 7 year old boy a 12lb 6oz mirror. I even coach fishing with Keith Arthur at my local fishery charity. Carl again thank you to both you and Alex, your enthusiasm in your videos was addictive and the way you don't drop brands in your videos is admirable. Even when I'm old me and my kids can always go on a fishing trip.

That was a real Tench moment. Nice day fishing.

Great angling omi .and another great video .🎣

fantastic video, probably the most helpful one i have seen, i wish i could of had it when i started out!

That's beautiful ❤️❤️ 💕🐟🎣

Great vid guys

New video exciting

Great stuff.

Hi I love the videos

Exited for this

Great video as always, great to see you and Omi out on the bank together :)

Just found this, perfect for the begginer, or just going back to basics, hi Carl, I really enjoyed this lets have more people in this wonerful world of ...angling, pefect with my coffee, oh my goodness, I was there just a few weekes ago and found this place just twenty minuets drive from my home.

Nice vídeo like always my friend. Great fishing and filming and Omi is becoming better and better. Congrats from this portuguese friend.

Helpful video man I just ordered the book hopefully that has helpful advice love ur videos keep it up

Bless her. Well done omi never let her go m8

My kids 8 and 5 enjoy fishing with the whip. Even small fish spark joy.

Really lovely video and great advice 👍

nice video and soundtrack

Forget the fishing, your partner is gorgeous, your a very luck man, her illustrations are spot on, carnt wait to get the book. Your video's are down to earth and easy to follow, no complicated tec. A natural , you would give David attenborough a run for his money .

Brilliant video as usual

Hello Carl, Alex and Omi. Having watched this video I found your ‘Shop’ on-Line and bought your book ‘Simple Fishing Guidebook. Over the years I have read many fishing books, but this one grabbed me. It’s great. Well presented and very informative. My only criticism is the short section on Dropshot and Lure fishing, I have followed your advice and bought myself a Advanta Dropshot rod and a cheap real, some Braided line and size 6 dropshot hooks, followed your advice on tying knots and loading the spool. Ready for my first Dropshot session on my local tiny river (River Ouzel). Anyone reading this message should buy your book, I give you 12 out of 10 for it. I look forward to your next publication.

nice video!

Just seen there’s a great deal on angling direct. Whips for the young ones to get started with rigs etc

Great tips

Hi, for clarity for beginners, a rod license is only required in England and Wales not Scotland.

After watching this with my daughter she wants to try fishing again. Thank you.

Cool video cool book

Great video and nice to see Omi enjoying herself. Maybe you could start a new challenge Carl Vs Omi. No seriously great video both of you.

Great video. I find funny how the first thing said was basically the a UK meme “Oi, you got a loicense for that rod there”

Omi got a tench👍 I’ve been fishing about four years and only caught one, I love tench and am looking to increase my count this spring 😊

great video!im sure it will help so many people

Always think if taking someone fishing fir the first time, go to a venue which is extremely easy to catch, even if only small fish, they need to catch to enjoy the experience.

I’ve got a few friends who have shown an interest in starting fishing, this video will definitely come in handy!! Thank you Carl!

Nice wholesome video. And nice couple we like seeing ya fish together

You should head to monk lakes, it’s beautiful and you can catch loads of fish!

I’ve just got back to fishing after lockdown again and I go to a lake we’re it’s like abandoned and it has roach tench and up to like 40 pound carp and it’s really easy to catch because the like is small I’ve not got a carp yet but I did lose about a 12 pound ghost carp I’m a big fan aswell keep up the good content

awesome video! motivates me to grab a small rod with a floater and ignore the carp for a moment :) btw happy anniversary for you sweethearts

Having been inspired to start fishing with a friend (due to Mortimer and Whitehouse😄) we are taking the plunge next week! This video was soooo helpful, thank you so much! Subscribed and ordered your book!

My Wife isn't very tall and was always complaining that the rod she was using when she began Waggler Fishing with me was too long and cumbersome. So I bought her a 9ft Browning CK Micro Waggler rod and she loves it. It' was inexpensive, is well made, and has handled Silvers & Tench up to 3½ lb with ease. She's getting the hang of striking, but the odd Roach has suddenly found themselves in a tree!😂
