I know bream are regarded as bottom feeding fish but I have known occasions when they have come up and taken floating bread. I've seen them caught this way. I once saw a few carp messing around with a bit of bread trying to knock it into small pieces and a bream came up between them and took the lot!
yes weird by modern angling techniques ,but it was thing too use your dominant hand for casting and winding in ,a throwback too the old wooden reels days when you had too crank them as they wasn't as smooth as modern reels & had now gears) ,once fixed spools came in that all changed as they had gears which made winding in easier ,even by the time these video's was made only diehards still did the hand swap ,by now most centrepins was smooth enough you didn't need too crank them ,its just a weird hang over from earlier times
@@anglingmad I still do the hand swap. Just transitioning from my Mitchell 300 to a Shimano Vanford. I still have the reel in this video, but never much cared for it for playing large fish.
I love these vintage fishing videos.
That has bought a flood of brilliant memories, they were the good old days! Pure magic! 👍
New subscriber :-) loving the content the older videos are so much more entertaining to watch
Fantastic Video - love to see the old tackle and methods !
I always thought the Bream was " rah-ther deep in the boh-day" too.
Lovely nostalgia, lovely bloke, great stuff.
Talks very well with a marvelous English accent.

The Stately Bream !
Mr Crabtree - the late Bernard Venables.
Wearing a tie for bream no less!
Those were the days, well dressed and well spoken anglers don't you know?
Mm. the King Sedgemoor Drain. Not as well-known as King Henry VIII, but King Sedgemoor is famous for Bream ! 😀
I always wear a tie when I go fishing

This guy looks like he chases Badgers round the woods at night.

Great video. What year was it cheers.
Anglers corner came out in the early seventies
Too long in one of the old yellow fin shredding keep nets. Look at the angler's gear. All in his wicker basket.
right handed - but with a left handed reel?

@@anglingmad didn't know that - odd but makes sense in a way.

That's the way play your fish with your right hand retrieve line with your left, unless you're left handed of course.👍
@@donlofting4268 sure, but the angler here is right handed but has a reel with the handle on the right side - ie what a left handed angler would use.
