New subscriber here. Love the content.... Epic setting. My kinda fishing. Quality ❤

I had a walk along side this canal in bramley leeds and its beyond maintenance full of weeds amd rubbish thrown in.. great part of teh day was spotting a large terrapin in the canal had to google it but yeah apparently there about so keep your eyes put

Thanks for the lovely video Mark. The nostalgia and memories evoked when fishing somewhere we haven't been for years, and those who have sadly passed away since those days. The older we get the more precious these memories become...ghosts. oh what i'd give to fish with those people again. Lovely section of canal there Mark, and the bream was a cracker. When my net came apart like that i sewed it up with dacron...it seemed to do a better job than monofilament. Tight lines mate, and i look forward to your next film👍

Nice

Another nice video Mark..always good to reminise about the days when we first discovered this magical sport of ours. I never actually owned a wicker basket, started off with a blue Shakespeare box and then graduated to a green tubular steel and canvas efgeeco seatbox which had two front and two side pockets on.. How times have changed. 😊🎣

Nice to see the Eel, we used to catch loads when we were kids.

Nice video. I've never lived in Blackburn but I worked there for 14 years.

Very enjoyable watch again my friend 👍, love the tale of the dead squirrel 😂, lovely looking canal section full of nostalgia for you.... nice Slab that too & an escaped Eel 😂 brilliant, all the best pal 👍🎣

Just watched your video on the canal brought back some lovely memories. When I fishing with my dad sometimes with my brother who sadly is not with us anymore. I also fished matches in Blackburn also at Burnley. Nice to see ordinary angler's fishing. And not commercial water's. Look forward too see more videos.

Great vid mark look forward to them 👍

Great vid takes me back as well but use to fish it the Liverpool end around melling/maghull stretch early 70s good for tench then but use to see me off as was t experienced enough to get them out but great memories

Yes mark takes you back eh mate,you were lucky mate we never had no money for the bus,walking home with your wicker basket over your shoulder ,not a lot of tackle but always had a bottle of water and a few rounds of bread and a jar of meat past if we had any at home,the good old days eh mark,out their till about 10 ish the walk over the fields home mate,tite lines

Great memories always being a smile. Not a bad days float fishing..👍

👍

Cherrytree ?

Another good video mark 👍

Realy enjoyed the film. I do love the perch. Canal perch are a lot of fun 😊😊😊

Amazing bit of dangling there! Often hear about this place but never actually been. Some very stocky tench there, still waiting for one this season but I'm fishing the wrong spots! That my excuse!😂 👍👍

Lovely days fishing Mark. A variety of fish and they were in lovely condition. Smashing roach near the end there...real beaut.👍

Nice tench video on a cold day. My favourite fish. Well done.

great video my sort of fishing 1 rod and a chair and a lovely lake well done

Cracking session there,Mark🎣👌Great tips and even greater fish. Thank you for sharing and filming this. Can’t beat a good Tench! Take care🙏👍👏👏

Nice to watch fishing without a long pole you don’t see many on our canals these days

Exceptional video Mark. My type of fishing! Big roach, absolute heaven. I dont mind a big scrap with a tench or 3.

A good days fishing for you eh mark,some nice tench,bream,and some lovely roach eh mate,I must admit mate I know Tutti Frutti has been about for years but I've done nothing on them,and yes mate there's nothing wrong with them ice cream juices,better than ten pound for that glug stuff eh mate

What a great session good tip’s shared thank you we never stop learning 👍

I fish this lake too and was in the swim to your left a month a go for lad v dad waggler sesh .Got beat by a ten yr old who hauled in tench after tench. Going back for a maggot feeder session next time. Another great watch, thanks for sharing.

Great session 👍 tight lines

A great haul and some good tips! Nice one Mark!

👍😊

What was the lake called, must have missed it.

Thanks for the tips and a nice video. I've a look in the kitchen cupboard there's no ice cream toppings but I've got some squirty honey so I'll give that a go in me partical mix next time around 👍👍

Wow, lots of fish. Next time you say we will go to the canal . You follow me in the van, and we will end up here instead. 😅😅😅

Great video as ever mark 👍

👍

I have to admit that I have learned such a lot from Andy and look forward with anticipation to his next video release, and to the amazing quality of the floats themselves, which to me are like works of art. I have just bought a batch of Sarkanda reed and so I'll be revisiting his video tutorials. I have to admit my own floats are nowhere near as good as Andys, but I have improved such a lot in the last year. ✌❤ Bob

Could you tell me what stretch of the ribble was that filmed on please it looks fantastic!

When I lived in Leeds I used to fish the L/L at a place called Rodley where barges and narrow boats were moored. Although I was an inexperienced angler back then, I always caught fish even on freezing winter days. Occasionally I'd get the roach going and catch numbers of quality fish on float fished bread. My local canal these days is the Aire and Calder, with the stretch I fish containing some big bream and chub along with plenty of roach.

It can go quiet, if a Pike's moved in ? - Just before You, mentioned it !!

Hi Mark, very nice film & well done. I often like to fish about a foot, overdepth, with a single shot on the bottom - your views on this please ?

I get the appeal of having a session on a wild unpressured water with the chance of a bonus fish, but would rather be on a still water commercial bagging up on F1’s and big mirrors

Look after the Ribble. It's a real gem and reminds me how our Southern rivers used to be. 😢

Do you think I could get away with using my 11ft rod ? Great video by the way 👍

When I finished Primary School in July 1958 little did I imagine that come July 2024 it would be featured in a CZcams video! Well the building appears briefly in the background near the end of this film. For me this video just captures what a great river the Ribble is to fish. Good job Mark.

Great video Mark 👍 definitely going to get up there soon 👍 tight lines mate

Great seeing another Ribble session and a great haul on a tough day. First ‘choach’ I’ve ever seen too.

Another nice video Mark.. I love a day on the stick Float on the Ribble.. can't beat natural waters like the Lanky and the Ribble.. tight lines!😊🎣

Fascinating, Mark. Pretty good net for a "bad" day 😂 I've not had a "Croach" yet from the ribble but I think I had one last winter on the lostock, I'm going to watch my video again now you've prompted me. Used to be a good number of big gudgeon in the ribble too? Don't know what's happened there. On my canal there's a spot where I always catch Tommy ruffe but alas the gudgeon have long gone. I don't think it's a water quality issue as both waters are much cleaner than in the 60s and 70s. Just curious? How long was that session? 👍👍👍

You were lucky to catch a roach x chubb hybrid as they normally spawn at different times.

Another nice video. I've never fished the Ribble even though it's only 9 miles from where I live, Chorley.
