Hi guys, Andrew Booth here from Urban Bait. Today we're going to have a
look at some winter water craft. Try and make it a little bit easier for you to go and
find some fish in the winter and hopefully get amongst them. As you can
see on top of my head I've got a pair of polarized sunglasses. Now I believe these
are the most vital piece of kit that you can own. Without these you know
I'm not saying you won't find fish but you're blind to a lot of the signs.
They're an amazing bit of kit. They take the glare off the water
enabling you to see into the water, enabling you to see further really, like blocking
sunlight from obstructing your vision. Yeah
so I suggest you get a pair of them. There's loads of companies that do them, some better
than others, but you can get them for a reasonable price for a pretty decent pair. So yeah
go out and have a look guys. Yeah I'm going to crack on with the video now and I hope you enjoy
it. I'm going to try and get all aspects in if I can and then I'll send it all over to you
all. So hope you get some vital information. Enjoy the video!
Hi guys, Andrew Booth from Urban Bait. Today we're going to have a little
look at winter water craft. For the purpose of this video we're not going to
name the water because they like to stay private.
But we're just going to have a look around and get some ideas on how to
find the fish in winter. Let's get cracking. Now as you can see guys this is
a fairly big lake. It's got numerous islands.
I think it's around about 13 to 14 Acres
and I suppose the main question would be where do you start on a water like this?
Well I think I think the biggest clue or tip I could give you is generally, in the
winter, the carp like to be in the warmest place possible. So my tip would be
to let the wildlife tell you where to fish for a start because you know these
creatures live in this environment and generally they like to stay warm as well.
To be honest with you, I'm surprised that there's not a lot of
wildlife this side of the lake because I found a bit of like slack
water if you like sort of off the back of the wind where it's a bit not so
choppy and the wind isn't so bitter. So
like for me I would usually fish in a place like this where the
wind is a bit less you know "raging" I suppose. Now that looks nice off the
edge of the island there. It's pretty calm there and obviously islands are good
holding areas for carp. Also I would keep an eye out for wildlife such as
coots and ducks and things which dive and pick up bait because this time of
year there's not a lot of bait going in the water
and when you find the few coots and ducks diving, generally it means there's
food in an area. So that's a good tip I can give you and just keep scanning the
water. I'll have a little walk around now and see if I can find a few signs and
I can show you what else to look for. See you in a bit guys. Just a quick clip this
one guys. This is what I mean by off the back of the wind. As you can see the
wind is pushing in here but then, from the protection of the island, you can see
slack water just here which, in general, would be warmer. So that, I think,
would be a good area to put your baits because like I explained earlier,
carp like to stay warm, and this is usually a good sheltered area from the
wind. So the water temp stays slightly warmer. I'm going to continue
walking around now and have a look for some signs and I'll explain what these
signs are when I find them. Here we are guys, just found a couple of coots up in
this area, investigating, seeing if there's any bait left around.
A couple of ducks over there which tells me they're fairly comfortable in this area.
As you can see the waters fairly calm here. A bit more bird life. I think I've seen an
oil slick over there just now which tells me there's bait in the area.
Someone must have been fishing it recently.
Also as I turned up in the swim, I think I spooked a fish.
I saw a bow wave just out there. So this could be a good area at the start.
I just spotted some more ducks diving guys, just off the front of this island here.
I think that could be a sign that there's a bit of bait out there as well as
I'm stood actually on a fishing peg. So this looks pretty good.
Hey guys, I'm back in the van now. It's a bit breezy out there, cold.
I've had a look about, seen some likely-looking areas. I hope that gave you
some information on where to look in the winter. Unfortunately I couldn't cover
all the aspects because I couldn't find what I was looking for. A big gray cloud
came over and sort of took the light off the water if you like and I couldn't
really see. I was looking for coloured water where the bottom had been
disturbed or you know hopefully it was fish disturbing the bottom. Looking at it
I think the areas I found on sort of the back of the wind where there were a few
birds diving on like, what I think, were like sort of areas where people have put
bait and stuff, where like basically the wildlife was telling me they were
comfortable there. Here we go guys, I've got two sets of polarised glasses there.
One from Fortis which do really good polarised glasses for a reasonable
price. I've gone a bit extravagant with the other ones which are HD
polarised glasses. Both do a brilliant job.
Obviously you've got different colour lenses for different conditions and different
coloured waters. So that's basically it guys. I think we've covered most aspects of
winter watercraft there. My main tip would be to look on the back of the wind
which is generally more comfortable for everyone. Also for yourself it's less cold.
And keep scanning the water. You know you might get lucky and see one show. It's
rare in winter but if you do, generally where there's one most of them are there
because they're comfortable there. So yeah keep your eyes peeled! So I
hope you enjoyed that video. I hope it was full of information for you. Give us
a like and if you want any aspects of angling covered just post a question in
the comments section. Thanks for watching. I'll see you soon guys.
