LIVE MATCH FISHING | Silver Fish Fishing | Lake Win

well morning welcome back to the oaks lakes it's absolutely freezing i thought i'd just grab a quick video before the match before we go and draw we're here on the first round of the winter league fishing for silvers and there's 30 people on the league i think 50 quid 200 this is the willow's lake actually got ice in it today which i think won't be such a bad thing on here i think this might be a good leg to be on today the ice might give the fish a bit of shelter but i thought i'd do a little video today do a bit of filming throughout the match fingers crossed we catch a few can't be uh nothing's guaranteed when the weather's like this the fish will obviously be a lot harder to catch i might afford to have a little wander around this is like six on the willows lake wouldn't mind drawing this peg today i've not been on this lake yet but as you can see a lot of open water to fish for you're gonna draw a lot of fish in them smaller lakes might be a bit harder today we're gonna keep our fingers crossed but yeah i'll catch back up with you once we've drawn fingers crossed it's a fire and yeah i'll see you soon [Applause] well we've drawn our peg we're just trying along here now i've drawn 38 on alders which is uh moving up in the world from last time i was up in the 29 last time with that top end which is no no good whatsoever but 38 for the best peg on this bank on paper so we'll we'll we'll uh give it a good guard i think it's a good peg to have a chance to win the section so we'll jump out and have a look at the peg so this is the peg we have got a bit of ice on here which no one else has got but i think it will just be a case of tapping it with a polar cup that should get rid of it it's clear over there so i think what i'll do i'll just tap a little channel there tap the channel out into there but it'll all disperse which could could get a could be a bit of a pain but i think it will melt after a couple of hours um we're fishing ten till three so fingers crossed we're good we've got a hard section i've got ryan bennett up there on 26. i've got curly on 32. they're really tough pegs up that way so i think i've i've got the best of the bunch but it's fishing you really don't know i've got some they're really good anglers if anyone's going to catch they will so we'll do we'll get some gear out and we'll catch some fish dead simple today got some maggots live nuggets got a few point seven in case but i can't see anything in any amount of them i've got a bit of ground bait there's some um i'll put a video with a car i think it's a mild expander and some roach um hempy stuff just because i think there's a lot of roach in this pond little one so a few eyed that should be good i've got a few dead maggots then looking the brightest so i'm not going to feed many of them but yeah that's basically we've had a bit of a nightmare with ice it's all frozen here i've just smashed a big hole there basically with my pole cup but i'm hoping all this is going to melt so i can fish that side of my pipe got the new juventus 900 in action awesome pole got a wagon set up a little engage rod just see if we can chuck it there we'll need that ice them up first that's for sure just got a line like 10 meters so i'm going to fire maggots and we're going to pop maggots with a tiny light float that's two lines left and right and just strung out number 10s down the line and then little 18's up but that's the setup we'll get um cameras in place and then we'll be ready to go soon right so the match is about a couple of minutes away from starting give you a little run through what the plan of attack is obviously i've got this ice in my peg at the moment which isn't ideal but i can see why this is the better over the lake up there it's about 10 inch shallower than it is here and i'd like to add a little bit of line onto my rigs i'm just putting a couple hooks on just an 18 f1 maggot but yeah i've got a liner about 11 meters straightened in front now i'm going to catch your maggots there i'm not going to fish that for the first hour hopefully just fish two lines at 16 meters left and right until this ice melts i think once the ice melts i'm going to put another line long into that bowl and then check the waggler i think it is um sharp which orchids fine um it is going to warm up so once the sun gets up here i'm assuming it's alarmed it's only dead thin so once this horn melts in and i'm able to put another line in but until then it's quite a simple approach really number two wagner thing so it's nice and light a little drenum ones what's that no point number two waggler i'm just gonna have it that far away it's not gonna be my main line i'm hoping just to fish for eyed really and nod roach long nice and light rigs pot bait to start with and then cutting some bit over the top but it's gonna be hard today so i'm not gonna go all guns blazing i think if i can catch 15 pound a big really good weight today on this lake particularly i think eight pound won it yesterday but yeah the area is on the other night which will slow it down so because the areas haven't been on and it should make it a lot better but to some extent but what i'm going to do is i'm going to feed use this bump kit to feed i'm just going to use my large group in the pot to feed with so i don't get overdo it just gonna feed one of them and both my lines long one there one there a little bit of loose ground bait hopefully just cloud the water if any skimmers come in that'll hold them in the peg but i'm not convinced ground but really does much but i think it's i've spoke to a few anglers i've had some success doing it so i'm gonna give it a go dave this is the first time the winter league like i said fingers crossed we can get a decent result whatever i need to do now i think i'll do i'll just shove my i've got a little pot here for maggots i can put that on just got number four's elastic i have got a number fives in this in some kits as well but because it's a bit harder today i thought i have been using single five in the shortcut but i thought today i'd use a single um single four just [Music] to get a bit more sketch so that's time this is going to form that grommet down slightly and i'll put some something sharp just holding the joint here just get to the way i'm going just hold the pocket up under the water that's just dropped out just like you're fishing in the mud line in somewhere don't put too much pressure on just nice and lightly because if you do that you get too much air in it and then it floats which is a bit of a nightmare there's a few fish popping under this ice which is a good sign i usually go maybe 40 and a half meters but i thought today with um how hard it's probably going to be it's obviously been a frost overnight probably going to slow it down so like i said i've got this hemp frenzied hemp a bit of mild expander and a bit of roach because there are some roaches in here so i thought if i mix more of a roach round it up i might drag some of them that emotion will be taken it's a little bit dark grab it so clear and cloud the water a bit might give a bit of confidence i'm not convinced ground but really helps revive i think they just feed through the water um but i'm gonna give it a go but i did have to make quite a bit disturbance to clear some ice just so i could fish i'm hoping it doesn't give me too much of a headache and i'm hoping when it melts it all just melts in at once but you don't know what it's going to be like really just going to start and single maggot when i sit back i'm gonna keep my pole to cook back my um pull right under the water so that i don't get caught up on the ice because the last thing i want is why am i out here last thing i want is to get caught up on the ice and bump the fish just checking them on the right line i've got two lines on the same rig just with a bit of tape so i can just move my flow up and down tap like eight maggots in or something like that hi uh you're still watching this video so you must be uh interested in my content remember to hit subscribe and you'll be the first to hear about any future videos and uh yeah it gives you more encouragement to keep going and i'll be able to bring you lots more content just like this so yeah hit subscribe and enjoy the video we've been fishing for crows we've been fishing for an hour and i've not had a bite yet not not a single sign which was kind of expected no one else haven't seen anyone on this lake go by i can see one two three four see four people and as far as i know i've no one's had a fish um which is understandable because it's frozen really cold last night and it's still frozen i'm hoping over the next hour the ice clears and i can maybe chuck a waggle or um put another line in into the open water make the most of the space but to be honest if i'm gonna get bites from these eye they're gonna be on these lines two 16 meter lines towards this island just literally tapping in like five six maggots every now and again taking a little bit of bait through the water good thing about maggots they'll wriggle away they don't get eaten so this shouldn't be too much for buildable bait i just want something going through the water i am firing an odd maggot in with a catty as well on my short line and whichever line i'm not fishing just to try and draw some fish into the area there's will be fish around here they live here like but they've been so cold they just don't want to eat uh it could be a really low weight to win the section today um i think there's only four in our section today but there's some good angles got kaley up there and ryan bennett as well really good regular anglers here so gotta try and beat them today for some good league points i think this the league gonna run with five points for a section win or something um i think there's sections of far four five and six because obviously in some areas like this up there is really hard like in the middle pegs you want to try and leave them out if you can so they just put four pegs in there i think like one ear neck two pegs up and then they've got plenty of room at that top end there's fish topping in there but i think that was a car to be honest them carp do live in that area that's why it's a really good pair give you in a cart match um yeah i'm literally fishing a single maggot i'm not a single bite yet um just i think once i get my first bite it'll get it'll be a good sign just getting that first bite which is always the hardest well let's have a little update two hours and 20 minutes in so we'll call it halfway and i've got three-eyed and i caught first side probably after an hour and 20 and on this 16 meter line straight in front nearest the island and caught it just tapping some maggots in it was probably six ounces and then since then i've had another two um both of them to this island just had probably missed like two indications um in this little spot here and then it went under and i just netted one just before a little um they've probably been six ounce a piece really so i've probably got just over a pound now i'm still haven't seen anyone else get a bite so surprisingly we're doing okay with three-eyed it's obviously it's still cold the ice hasn't melted yet i don't know if it's gonna have to be honest i wish i'd um broke the ice into the open water there but i didn't want to make it all break up because it could have been a proper nightmare if it had all broken up um that's the last thing i wanted so i thought i just let it melt but it's not warmed up as i thought it might i wish i broke it down the edge as well then i could have threw some maggots against the grass and we caught an odd roach but i feel like i'm going to do any good i'm just going to catch another hide on this long line here i'm still firing maggots at like 10 meters 10 11 meters um maybe probably more like eleven after be fair i've got a shot getting a shot for i'm holding the first white section and then i've got another 16 meter line along to my left to my right even but all i'm doing i'm literally just constantly picking my rig out to the side just letting it fall so because two of the bites out of three have come on the settle then that one before was just out the blue i also missed a couple of bites i think that was on a bit of ice there there's a bit of ice drifting across because the bites that i missed was sort of like as the float was on the side it's just like done that's happened here we'll do a little update not very exciting unfortunately um i've got six eyed i think since i spoke to you i'm not sure how many have i've had more but i think i've maybe had a couple more i'd just on this i think i've had one to my right fishing 16 and maybe one on this line here lost one bit for strain the ice drifted from the right to left and it covered my old peg and i hooked one and when i was shipping back i had to sort of dip my pole under the water and it's come off i bumped another one as well which was frustrating must have been foul up you can kind of tell because they feel like a you kind of think oh it's a bonus bonus fish but i think it's just a night in the wing and then they sort of plod about and they just ping off not ideal because it will spook the fish that are in your peg i've had a quick trick with the waggler for sort of five ten ten minutes something like that i'm getting a few indications on it i think but can't really hit any bites um but i'm just gonna keep feeding that up the side of the island but i just don't want to miss a run of fish on these pole lines right to my right it's got five or six sides as well now so i think kaylee and ryan is struggling at the top end but it's could soon all could change like it didn't take long to put a runner fish together i just need like a few like the lad tomorrow i had a little run probably a 20 minute spell where a little lift by then we had like five i'd in a row it's on the long pole doing the same as what i'm doing as i said it's a league so i'm just fishing for section point so i only focus on what's happened catching around us i have plumbed up a line down to the aerator and in open water um so i can have a little go on them in a minute if you don't get any bites on these two lines here okay he's got one on all like i said i've only got six fish it's not like i'm leading by any means i'm like probably level with him now with that fish there you go we've hooked the eye that was given as an indication i think [Music] these are the sort stamp fish we've been catching it's sort of six seven ounce side but like it's like you said i missed a couple of bites then i got one so just they are on your peg but they're just dead crafty um just hope it gets better maybe it's last hour we've got an hour to go fingers crossed i mean like you never know right so that's the match finished i ended up with a nice finish but unfortunately the gopro died which is annoying but i didn't want to get up and start it out because it was obviously a league so i wanted to concentrate on the fishing but i can talk to you what happened basically um maybe hour and a half ago the eyes completely cleared in that way so i put a little bit of ground bait just that little frenzy temp mixed with some mild expander literally a tiny little ball about that size just loose inside the pot potted that in and just kept finding maggots over the top of that and i just kept fishing a full to the island just over there and kept putting maggots flicking my rig and i ended up getting steadier bites and it got a little bit better um and then i had a look on that left-hand line then caught a skimmer and three or five couple of roach and then i dropped back in on the long line and caught like seven in a row a big roach six six or seven eyed just literally catching them on the drop which is really nice it's mud how it can go from zero to 100 with their mind but i've got got a bit lucky really i've ended up with another skimmer on that line too and finished with 19 eyed two roach and two skimmers so i'm guessing i'll be eight or ten pound which i think would be quite good the lads up there have struggled but we'll see what happens at the weigh-in um i'll try and record the way in a little bit so you can see what goes on but yeah that was it really just literally fishing maggots potting them in and catting a few when i wasn't on it then later on i've just cut it on all my lines really and if i could have done something different i would have fished more into that bowl earlier on but that ice was just a problem so i couldn't really do anything about that and i think i would have caught a few more that ice hadn't been um a bit annoying i also would have put a line in down the edge i didn't actually feed that because yeah it was all iced up during most of the day and then later on i kind of wanted to concentrate on catching on the other lines but if i come again i'd definitely put a lighting down the edge yeah we'll get packed up and then i'll speak to you after the wedding six pounds not got much more not i've got a bit [Applause] 12 12 pounder well we're all weighed in now literally just chucking the last bits of gear in the car box to go in and i'm pleased to save managed to win the section on the lake so really chuffed with that nice to get that on video so i'm good that the camera stopped playing ball about halfway through after our last chat but as i basically was doing the exact same thing i just kept um firing the maggots putting the maggots and they came good i thought it would once it warmed with a few degrees that ice melted in and they've had a little chew so thankfully i've managed to win the section so one point for the league really tough with that and hopefully you enjoyed the video please remember to subscribe it really helps me out and it gives me a bit of a more encouragement to do more videos so hit subscribe like comment and i will see you on the bank next time tight lines
