Naked fishing at Lac du Salagou nearly 30 years ago 😂😂😂! God knows how I found this carp in 2000 acres. My mate Martin and I found a big blob of blue on a map and simply drove there! Also fished the River Lot on a carp fishing adventure with no plan that lasted over 2 weeks! #fishingadventures #monstercarp #carpfishing #lacdusalagou #riverlot

SUBSURFACE WITH ROB HUGHES. SUNDAY 7PM ON @korumfishing YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Don’t miss this crazy, crazy session with myself and underwater maestro @robhughesangler We fish a beautiful lake in the Cotswolds for Tench and Rob studies our methods and tactics from under the surface. A real eye opener! Lots to think about and essential viewing if your looking to improve your catch rate!

Awesome to be involved. @rob_hall_korum and @t_y_dnb doing an incredible job of capturing the action 👍🎥 Thanks for checking it out as always 😉

The rivers were running low and clear, so the other week Dan and I decided to drop onto a stillwater that has great potential for big Rudd! My target was 2lb+ 🤞

I started with a few nice ones float fishing @sonubaits F1 corn, feeding Krill Hemp. I then decided to move around the lake simply freelining bread and feeding mashed bread, which also worked really well.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the 2lber, but easily caught a dozen or so that were maybe 1lb - 1.5lb. Gives me an excuse to go back, hopefully when it’s not quite so hot! ☀️😫😂

He wasn’t my intended target but still chuffed to catch old black eye from the river last week 🖤😁 Watched him waddle into the swim, push a decent Barbel out the way and suck in the hookbait. My 10ft Opportunist XTND bent double!!! Incredible to watch in clear water.

I was doing a string of short sessions on the river before work. Fortunately I managed to return for the Barbel the next day 😉

A video of these epic short sessions is now live on my YouTube channel. Thanks for the kind comments so far and I hope you’re enjoying our wonderful rivers! 😁🙌

NOW LIVE ON YOUTUBE - The hunt for big Barbel 🙌 New river season, new video! The video begins with a general wander around some beautiful stretches of river before then fishing an area that offers a better chance of some specimen coarse fish.

We discuss tips, rigs and tactics after locating some really decent Barbel on an intimate little stretch of water.

Rolling meat is a great method for searching out Barbel and Chub. It enables you to check out lots of different spots which increases your chances of finding these very special fish. In the video I had to change my methods once I’d found the fish to successfully start putting a few fish on the bank!

Please remember to subscribe😉🎥and thanks for checking out the video.

TV debut 😁📺 I believe I’m on the box tonight! BTSport 2 @ 9pm, On The Bank. @robhughesangler goes underwater to examine my Tench fishing on a glorious lake in the Cotswolds. Was a pleasure to be part of it! Gotta love those Tincas! 🎣

A very stripey one! Perch in my local river arn’t always this vivid! A welcome surprise when I nipped out on the river yesterday to catch Chub on cranks. Might have to come back to this new spot in Winter as I got hit in the margins by a much bigger perch 😬😉

Hope you’re enjoying the start of your river season! The best of a bunch of chub from a session before work today. @sonubaits 8mm Halibut Pellets had them going crazy as I roamed around several spots on the river. A nice sunny summer pic. Good times on flowing water! 😉😁🎣

A day in the sunshine when the Crucians went crazy! Two of them tipped over the 3lb mark, including this lovely bar of gold. This was the session that can be seen on the @sonubaits YouTube channel. It was supposed to be a Tench session! Fortunately some of those turned up too. 😁👍☀️

What a lovely start to the river season. Roving around exploring new stretches of river, trotting maggots under a float 😁 @korumfishing #gliderod #exploremore #fishingadventures

MEAT STOPS! We’ve all been there … the f*ckin’ baits come off!!! Anglers worst nightmare. If you’re fishing for Barbel and Chub YOU NEED THESE! @korumfishing Meat Stops. #barbel #fishing #barbelfishing #riverfishing

16th June 2022. Feeling blessed 🙏🎣

So yesterday I decided to mainly mess about with my Glide rod to bag as many river species as possible! The other goal for the day was to travel light and explore as many new stretches of river in the Hampshire / Dorset area and I found some gems that I’m sure will come good later in the season 😉
I was supposed to be out all day today but to be honest the 20k steps and heat from yesterday has left me completely battered!! 🤣☀️I think I’ll chill today but my mind is bubbling with ideas for the season ahead!!
I hope you had an amazing June 16th and that you have an amazing season on our beautiful rivers 😁🙌🎣

Just a quick post to say a huge GOOD LUCK if you’re out on the river tomorrow. The 16th is a such a special day in the fishing calendar. Just feel blessed for being out there doing what you love doing ❤️ Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t land fish. We’ve got a whole season ahead of us!! Enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the river and enjoy your fishing 🙌😁🎣

I’ll never get bored of catching these lovely Tench. One of a bunch of fish caught on worm kebabs, while feeding maggots and casters.

Flatbed feeders for Tench. #tench #tenchfishing #fishing

My Tench session was gatecrashed by a bunch of stunning Crucians! This is one of several went over the magic 3lb mark. The full video of this epic session is on the @sonubaits YouTube channel 🎥👍 Thanks for checking it out 🙌

I believe in keeping things simple and the 2mm Stiki Method Pellets make feeder fishing so simple and they’re deadly!👌

NOW LIVE! I caught this stunning Tinca a few weeks back whilst filming a new video for @sonubaits_specimen that’s now LIVE on the @sonubaits YouTube channel. I caught some nice Tench during the session, which was gatecrashed by a bunch of Crucians, some of which went over the magic 3lb mark. 😁🎣

All fish taken on flatbed feeders, with ever faithful Krill & Squid groundbait, 2mm Krill pellets, Krill hemp with 8mm Bandum Wafters or Pellet-Os as hookbaits.

This was the biggest Bream caught for my most recent video. At 9lb 2oz it wasn’t as big as the double I caught by accident at Walthamstow, but it was caught by design on balanced tackle so was pretty pleased 😁

A few weeks earlier and these fish might have been doubles and in better condition as they had almost certainly spawned quite recently. Something I’ve made a note of for next year.

A bunch of big slabs were caught using heli rigged maggots, 6lb Smokeshield hooklength, size 14 Xpert Specialist hooks and Combi Feeders loaded with @sonubaits Krill & Squid.

Have an amazing weekend!!! Enjoy the sunshine!! ☀️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @korumfishing #carp #fishing #carpfishing #carpfishinguk #summervibes

Still camping in the New Forest ⛺️. I went down the campsite pond this morning to see if I could help anyone with their fishing. Ended up showing young Finn how to catch carp on the fly! 😁🎣

Don’t usually post this kinda thing to my feed but this is an incredible limited time offer!!! 👀 @korumfishing

So a couple of weeks back I was out filming for @sonubaits_specimen and had quite an incredible session. Keep an eye out on the @sonubaits YouTube channel. We catch plenty of Tench and encountered some rather pleasant surprises 😉🎣

If you got an itch … then scratch it! Bream video is now live on YouTube. I’ll definitely be doing a bit more of this. #bream #breamfishing #fishing @korumfishing @sonubaits_specimen

NOW THAT’S CARPY! 😉 The chance encounter with this big double figured Bream from the Stow inspired a few sessions specifically targeting some quite impressive bin lids! Definitely see them differently now … a different animal once they get big. 🎥 now live. 👍🎣

NOW LIVE ON YOUTUBE - BREAM FISHING! We're fishing for big Bream. We look closely at bait application and rigs to try and land some crackers! This video was inspired by the random capture of a big double figured Bream from the Walthamstow reservoirs over a year ago. Since then I've thought about targeting them properly and now at last I've done it!

I appreciate that Bream fishing isn't for everyone, but maybe give this video a watch - it might just change your mind about the Bream. Like many specimen fish, they're a different animal once they get BIG!

Includes a sneak preview of some other exciting video projects I’ve been involved in 😉🎣🎥

Ever tried this? 2 hooks!? 🤪 Another option to combat those nuisance fish when fishing for Tench. #tench #tenchfishing #tenchfishinguk #coarsefishing @korumfishing @sonubaits_specimen @sonubaits

When the worm rigs stop working … there’s hope! #tench #tenchfishing #fishing #coarsefishing

#tbt … and the first Tench caught for my recent korum video. Love how dark and glossy this one looks. Like Liquorice 😍🎣

A nice Tinca caught whilst filming for @korumfishing a couple of weeks back. The video launched on their YouTube channel last night. It includes plenty of nice Tench and some tips on how to avoid the nuisance fish.

I hope you had a great weekend and hope you caught some nice fish if you were out on the bank! 👍🎣

TBF … as a young gun maybe 30years ago! Doing my best to get amongst the carp of the well known Waveney Valley Lakes, Norfolk.

I used to move around the complex from lake to lake. C Lake wasn’t the easiest on the complex but it’s where I caught some of the better fish during my time there, including this mid 20 mirror. I had 3 x 20s that day, quite an achievement at the time. I would regularly go for a whole week and loved it there. Good times.

Not sure why I’m wearing a shirt! I think I might have even had after shave on … you know, for the ladies 😉😂

So our Tench adventures are well underway. Hopping from venue to venue trying to catch a few Tincas!

We’re definitely getting amongst them on venues new and old, but it feels like we’re just warming up. I think we’ll step up a gear once those nighttime temps are consistently in or near double figures.

Keep an eye out for some video projects I’ve been involved in for @korumfishing and @sonubaits_specimen which will be launched on their channels at some point soon. A slight delay posting to my YT channel because of this, but I’m now on a mission to find a biggun … and I have a couple of venues in mind so watch this space!

A fantastic time to be on the bank as things warm up. Awesome to watch our fishing world spring into life at this time of year! Good luck and enjoy your fishing 😁🎣
