Watching Matt Hayes as a kid after school is what got me into fishing, he makes everything so simple

Matts Hayes, Rex hunt fishing adventures! Those were the days.

it is a very simple way to catch some fish, but very effective. Matt Hayes is amazing :)

I love the way he explains everything in great detail, some of the youngsters could learn a lot for Matt Hayes.

Bread is my favourite bait!👌 I've even caught a brown Trout on it! Great tips from the legend! 🙌

I can't believe anyone knows more about fishing than matt hayes

Excellent bait. Here in India we use a combo of wheat flour and a particular type of Indian cerial to make a dough which is flattened to a thick cake and cooked partially on a dry pan and then cut to suitable pieces for the hook. The cooking is to make the bait more stable so that it will last longer and will not get dislodged by the smaller fish.

Great video Matt, you’re the modern Mr Crabtree

Hehe, you look like a hardcore raver, mate! :D

'Every thing I need fits into this small seatbag' Oh and a huge red 30 ltr bucket! ;-)

Floating breads good when it’s a warm day. I always chick some in try attract some big carp.

He's had that rod rest since forever

He's sounds like a nice guy

I never go fishing without bread. I use other baits too but i like the versatility of bread

great vid matt

thanks for posting btw

lol damn duck stealing all his feed.

I use exactly the same tehnique to put bread on a hook..I mostly use hard part (not soft) of a bread and it can stay in water for such a long time..I put also some attractors or vanilla sugar on bait

Been tying to find the episode where matt catches the same carp twice in Sywell pond in Northamptonshire but never ever found it watched it when I was a kid. The pond is hidden over a wall next to a road

Top man great fisher man

Everything eats bread!

Great fisherman

Matt hayes a legend grew up watching him an john wilson , ow kids grow up watching carp heads where fishing is becoming less skill more camping with tech not even casting often real shame

He's just using a couple of shot/sinkers pinched on his line, they will sink to the bottom and stay lightly on the bottom with the current from the river, giving very little resistance when the fish bites!

Legend

For big chub head to Rutland water, if you cant find it Mill Farm has massive chub. But definitely use fruity boilies they are devestating

1:10 'Now the rig that i use... very very simple - but basically... this is a four turn water knot paterno-' a what?

The shot i use is vodka xl

Good point, I've never seen him with a pole...

my favorite swim a hampton loade under the tree

simple and effective bread

Matt is a great angler, but he is getting some of the finer points wrong here. imo flake is always better than crust for chub, and you can mould it quite hard around the hook shank, as long as the hook point is well exposed. You don't want a shot just above the hook, this just makes the bait look unnatural, the bread wafting in the current is a great attractor... and unlike in any other fishing situation... never, ever throw in loose feed, it just attracts smaller fish, and chub are hierarchic feeders, the largest fish feeding first. If you feed, you'll just catch the smaller shoal members. Just my opinion, but I do catch 50+ 5lb+ fish every winter and have had several chub over 8lb... don't take my word for it. Try both approaches and see which one works for you. :) Cheers Matt.

Holy crap that is a huge creek chub where i live they are like 4 inches

Anyone just put chub in the search box and click the top video

Lovely vid Matt, a question if I may please ? After you liquidise your bread groundbait, do you keep the groundbait in a sealed plastic bag also , or do you leave it open ?

Matt, your fashion sense then, (2012), is better than it is now. Btw, it was bad then lol. It's a good job you're the finest British fisherman and not a fashion designer.

I used to catch trout with bread and i never needed to pre bait ... and even today i would never pre bait ...no matter what type of fish am fishing for ..

I’d say worms are the cheaper

god bless teery lampard

Big chub

I take it Matt isnt doing Lake Escapes or Total Fishing anymore? shame...all seems to be old episodes on quest.
