Where are the likely
spots?
What’s the right bait?
What’s the best gear?
These questions and many
more are answered by Terry in this information-packed 60 minute video.
Terry takes you to a variety of fishing spots and explains useful hints on
subjects such as water conditions; fish feeding behaviour; finding the correct
fishing depth; rigging floats and hooks; casting rods and reels; telescopic
poles; using quiver-tip rods; lure types and typical fish responses; use of
live bait such as worms and yabbies; fish appetite stimulants; casting techniques;
using a fish net and even how to clean your fish.
Like all styles of sport
fishing, coarse angling is set apart by the attitude and approach of the fisherman.
In a similar way to fly fishing, the coarse angler needs a fair degree of
imagination as part of his technique. But unlike fly fishing, coarse fishing
requires the skill of imagining and actually plotting the features of the
water to be fished. After taking the time to discover the features of the
body of water in front of him, a coarse angler will set about bringing the
fish to where he’s set up.
Relaxing on a folding chair with boxes of specialized tackle around him and
even with an umbrella overhead, the coarse fisherman uses the lake or river
to bring the fish to him. Coarse anglers don’t travel light, but they
often come home with a heavy swag of fish.
‘This is an excellent
video that achieves exactly what it sets out to do.
Terry’s presentation is relaxed and professional and puts the viewer
right in the drivers seat. Terry is a well- known coarse angler but this video
is not just about coarse angling. Terry expertly demonstrates the very best
techniques to use in a number of different situations to get the best result.
Fish species covered include native fish such as Murray Cod and golden perch
and introduced species such as trout and redfin. He starts by showing the
techniques required to bait-fish rivers - both fast and slow moving. Terry
intersperses his dialogue with plenty of handy hints and tricks of the trade
which can make a fishing day. Both float fishing and bottom fishing techniques
are covered.
A very good video, full of information and one that will help many anglers catch more fish!’

The Art of Catching Fish with Bait. Terry's explanation of 'Coarse Fishing'.
Coarse is now a little
used word that for me stirs up feelings about the old world. A static world
where there were refined gentlemen who played by the rules ( of their own
making ) and coarse men who did what they needed to do to get by.
Coarse fishing these days is anything but old world, it's hi-tech fish hunting,
but it's still very much focused on the success of a fishing trip being measured
by the fish caught. The title may be quaint and now inappropriate but the
spirit of coarse angling still accurately reflects it's origins: businesslike
men going about fishing in a businesslike manner.
Coarse fishing put simply is bait fishing, as distinct from fly fishing or
spinning. The basic idea revolves around perfect bait presentation in any
conditions which combined with highly effective ground baiting or berlying
methods greatly improves any angler's chance of catching fish.
Coarse fishing has been revolutionised in recent years by a surge of hi-tech
advancements in tackle and techniques which have improved theangler's equipment
almost beyond recognition.
Today there is a range
of tackle and baits available to catch fish almost by design and incidentally,
to this day on most trout and salmon waters in the U.K., New Zealand and Tasmania,
you are only permitted to use lures or flies - coarse fishing is banned!
Why? Simple, coarse angling catches too many fish.
And that is the purpose of this video, to help you catch more fish.
If you're serious about catching fish the video will help you focus on how
you fish, where you fish and give you ways of setting up your tackle that
are infinitely adjustable until you find the best method of bait presentation
on the day. We then go into how to stimulate them into feeding and then select
and present the baits in such a natural way that the fish have almost no chance
of resisting.
Coarse angling is freshwater fishing made serious.
