That brings back memories the Thames i used to fish Wallingford years ago like about 30 years ago, live in NZ now but still have fond memories of fishing in the UK thank you great video..
Culham Bridge - you're right, it was the original bridge into Abingdon from the East. A cavalier captain was shot on it during the Civil War. It is said that his ghost walks the bridge at night.
Beautifully filmed. Sadly not many people still appreciate how wonderful the 16th of June is. It seemed very quiet in Oxfordshire. While fishing Norfolk's rivers this season I have been plagued with wild swimmers, kayakers and inconsiderate anglers. Hopefully things will quieten down soon. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks Garry, I think you're right, the 16th is a wonderful day and a great time of reminding us to appreciate all species that happen to take the bait. I've not fished Norfolk before but always wanted to, the famous Wensum and the Broads made famous by John Wilson of course! ☺. I do come across the same obstacles in Oxfordshire from time to time as well but since most of my summer fishing is done in the evenings I manage to avoid them. Thanks for watching! 👍
You forgot to mention paddle boarders! I fished the river Wey in Ripley, Surrey two years ago and it was just left to fishermen and walkers but thanks to the bloody furlough, the stretch has been plagued for weeks and the little car park full by 7am. I’m all for freedom of access but when some portly, middle aged woman careering from bank to bank on a paddle board while gossiping to her equally moronic chum complains that I didn’t reel in to let her go past, i lose my sense of humour! If Shimano were to release a range of paintball guns, I’d be first in the queue!
@@martinshephard6317 🤣🤣As someone who had to work through all the lockdowns, I was really glad to see the end of the furlough scheme here in Yorkshire too! Winter may be cold and damp, but I look forward to it, as at least I can have the river to myself on most days, while the morons are busy shopping and keeping warm!
My two close buddies and I have an annual Thames 3 day fishing trip starting on the evening of the 15th June . We have a spot we wild camp every year , I love it .
Thank you, and yes I was very much inspired by that series and tried to capture it, at least in some form. Chris Yates is an inspiration to myself and many others im sure, I'm not sure I can follow in his footsteps for camera in quite the same way, but I appreciate the compliment.
Beautiful bit of filming and fishing! and finally a chunk of a Bream at the end! memorable day. As an angling youtuber and musician, I really thought the music was spot on too. Sadly, I'm a fly angler primarily, and most of my coarse fishing takes place in the winter, brown trout tend to occupying my thoughts at that time of the year, but next summer, Barbel, definitely!! good luck with your channel.
The River Frome in Dorset is full of big Brownies, my intention is to learn fly fishing at some point and target them, but for now I trott for the big Grayling in there!. Cheers buddy, I've just checked yours out, I'll be interested to watch pike on the fly at some point 👍.
The frome is on my list, prob a day ticket at mayfly time for my retirement present! Damned expensive though! I'm from Lancashire, so there's a wealth of urban and rural trout streams nearby, many of them free fishing! Tight in your part of the world though, unless you're after rainbow trout in stillwaters. Our trout tend to be plentiful but small, my daughter's recently moved from London to Yorkshire so next spring I'll be trying the Dales rivers! 😊
@@momentsinanglingessence855 I'm doing a new one very soon mate and show you step by step how to do a wormry... it's cheap and easy plus saves you loads if that's a bait you use alot..i love stick float fishing I got a few videos on there plus a home made kayak..that was a challenge.. lol
@@MUCKER671 Thanks mate! I'm glad you like it, I haven't put a video up for a while now, I just don't seem to get time, but I'm planning one for this month!
Perhaps a jacket should be packed in the future? That last stretch of the Thames seems to just be rammed with Bream at the moment. My friend caught a 6lb Bream just in the opening of the boat turning point. Fair to say after a session down there I'll be happy to not catch another all season.
Ah right thanks David, I do know a few other hot spots for bagging up on slabs, but for this film I just wanted to end with something bigger than 10 oz 😂.
Thanks David! Yeah, like most times I go out fishing I'm just happy to be there by the water and accept whatever decides to take the bait! And any whoppers that do turn up are really just a bonus!
A personal message. Well done. You've managed to capture a hint of what gentle coarse fishing can be. The music you've chosen (at least to start ) also fits. With your apparent mind-set you would/could easily be seduced into crossing by Narnian time travel to 1955. Provided you avoid the easy access draw of wannabe groups, eschewing the more obvious tat of modernity would complete your joy. Of course, it's a delusional bubble that exists, can only exist, in parallel. Few really get it, but you might. Think Kings Cross platform 9 3/4, but made real for you. But maybe I'm reading you incorrectly.
Thanks! I guess I was trying to capture peace and serenity and just being there is what it's all about, if I can create an emotional response to it then my message is clear 😊. I didn't see an wardrobes that day though! 😄
@@momentsinanglingessence855 An excellent response. But do consider that peek through that wardrobe if you want to find an additional dimension. There are those who might offer a guiding hand.

Love the ambiance you've managed to catch in your video , wonderful
Thanks my friend!
I like your ring piece
A charming video Thank You

Made me want to read ' Three men a boat ' again .
Fantastic choice of music ! Thankyou .
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Great video, I thought a barbel might put in an appearance, then the dreaded bream showed up.
Barbel only seem to show up for me the camera is off 😄.... that particular day I was just happy to catch anything.
Yep i live there, fishings brilliant
You obv loved "a passion for angling" so you created a new one. You are the modern chris yates. Spot on mate, loved it

@@momentsinanglingessence855 i think it was as close as possible. Beautifully done, i look forward to more ❤️
Great video mate that was a nice bream
Cheers shaun! I actually wanted a big chub to finish the video with! 😂
Enjoyed your video, with the accompaniment of the fantastic Leigh Nash if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks Charlie! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Love the gay music
Nailed it buddy.
Thanks Steve!
Well done mate I really enjoyed that..love river fishing my self mate

Great video bud..😊👍🐟🎣
Cheers mate! I'll check your page out soon!
Still love watching this vid bud, forth time know, so well put together..😊👍
@@MUCKER671 Thanks mate! I'm glad you like it, I haven't put a video up for a while now, I just don't seem to get time, but I'm planning one for this month!
I've met you a few times at Sutton Courtney/Culham and Laura's. Funny to stumble on your channel. Tight lines.
Ah yes I remember you, you were trying for the barbel, I've really struggled with them this year, but I plan to try again when there's flow.
@@momentsinanglingessence855 I was, I have a trip to the Wye planned in a fortnight, so hopefully more joy there!
I fish the Clifton Hamden stretch and decided to look at Culham for new future swims and discovered a 20 ft Blue Dinosaur in someone’s garden!
Ive just started fishing again and i live just 10 minutes away from these swims so going to give them a try
Cool! Hope you catch some!

Learned to fish on thames
A lovely piece of filming. What fishing is all about, being out at the bankside and if you do not catch a whopper does it really matter ?.
Thanks David! Yeah, like most times I go out fishing I'm just happy to be there by the water and accept whatever decides to take the bait! And any whoppers that do turn up are really just a bonus!
Hmm interesting, look at this distinguished gentleman. Look how he fishes, yes hmm distinguished fine fellow.

I'm not far is it a club water I enjoy you work please keep up the good work
If you recognise it buddy, fish it! Sutton Courtenay AC probably control it so your best joining.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
What fishing rod are you using in this video?
It's a Blackrock 12ft feeder/float rod, I recommend them 👍
Nice video , and great hat! What make is it ??
Is an EINSKEY, you can find them on Amazon for £12.99
We’re is this place
It's in Abingdon
Whats the current like
That time of year very slow, should be pushing through quicker now.
