Gnasher Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) he is showing a great way of catching them, but you can do even better by adding a small clear bubble float about 4ft above the ultra light spinner as you can retrieve even slower,but the float stops the spinner from dragging the bottom due to the ultra slow retreive as the rig should be set shallower than the depth of water your fishing! BTW, this is Dat Dam Boat that hes fishing on, although it (my) boat looks far more substantial these days!

Gnasher Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) yes mike, it got me after about 10 seconds to! But your correct, its shows a pretty informative method for those who don't know and also illustrates the difference for the less informed between thicks and thins! (but it does give away a local hotspot, so appoligies all round, but theres plenty of room in the bay anyway) Edited March 21, 2008 by Gnasher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nice one Not sure I could stand a full day afloat with him I know Tom has so perhaps he is not as bad as he appears to be Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
large fries Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Charlie What you see on his programs is the product of adrenalin,excitement and relief.The quarry doesnt know that its on telly and can often be less than obliging when a camera crew clump around spooking everything in sight.The laughter is nervous energy.I have spent a few days fishing with John away from the cameras and he is great company and very interesting to talk to with a wicked sense of humour,just the same as most of us i suspect.

Gnasher Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Rup, i think it was you who was providing the entertainment when you were out filming with him................ overflowing waders, throwing rods, and a big barbs to. Anyway, back to the link, its very informative and i hope the method helps a few, especially as its filmed in water most of us know very well.

TomBettle Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Rup is right about John. John does love the camera and is perhaps one of our best known angling presenters, but away from it he is a genuinely nice guy with plenty of good stories, banter and debate. I was lucky enough to spend a few days with him in Alderney and hope to spend a fair bit more time with him over the coming months and years. I certainly don't know him well enough to regard him as a mate, but I do know he is always welcome on my boat and always very good company.

jack Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I enjoyed the Video,[chuckles and all ]. My Daughter lives 400 yds from this fishing spot, I have never caught a Mullet [there's a surprise] I have an inflatable. I have spinning gear. I have a national rivers licence[never used in 3 years,owning it]. Do I need,and where can I get,a permit to fish here.? Thanks Jack.

jack Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I just dug out my licence and read it,Do's it say I cant fish in the river until 15.june ?..jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think you can fish for sea species such a mullet if you are using Ragworm. I think maggots and bread would be a no. I'll look in my old CAC book if I can find it! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
