You Tube

I believe the Korda podcasts are finishing soon. Simon Pitt is leaving and Korda aren't doing anymore. Apparently they're having a famous guest for the last podcast, but as of yet, no one knows who it'll be. I hope it's Terry Hearn.

Same company, but different discipline. The Guru podcast with a match angler called Darren Cox is a good watch.

Yeah shame he's leaving but I can understand why, he's interviewed pretty much all the 'big' names so time for pastures new. I hope your right about Terry the Tench as that would be a good one, as would Dave Lane who can tell a story as well as anyone. That said I tend to enjoy the stuff from those anglers who live normal lives, balancing big fish angling with family life and careers rather than the 'time bandits'.
 
Avon Angling and Mark Erdwin. What I really dislike is cheesy music soundtracks, not necessary and sometimes drown out what the angler is trying to say. Music isn't necessary, we had all that on Passion for Angling because that was meant to appeal to a wider audience. You Tube is for those of us who don't need converting!

Used to love Out Of Town with Jack Hargreaves, this was one of my favourite episodes. Enjoy. 👍

The Simon Scott one is excellent, that guy knows his stuff. Another good one for very different reasons, is the one with Ian Macmillan in.

I watched the Ian Macmillian one just after he died, had me in stitches and brought tears to my eyes also. Very emotional watch!
 
My two favourites are at opposite ends of the spectrum. One is by dear old Bill Allen (Easy Fishing), who sadly lost his battle earlier on this year. Masses of practical advice for the new and older anglers. His videos aren't drawn out affairs where you need to press fast forward every three minutes and he offers practical advice on many aspects of fishing., and he's grateful for every fish that he catches. Good picture quality and well edited.
The other channel is Fish Locker and is all about sea fishing, be it coastal, boat, rock or scuba diving. The guy has a wealth of knowledge and the these videos are professionally filmed, with assured experience, well edited and always interesting. If I lived closer to the sea they would be of great practical use.
 
Rate Avon Angling - Nic is a top man; local to me and very watchable . . .keeps it totally real and captures both blank sessions and red letter days. Short session specialist and works / has a family but still manages to catch a few . . .solid

Not sure about Mark Erdwin - sure hes a nice chap but find him a bit OTT / nasal / squeaky . . . apols - jus' sayin . .!!
 
I found myself watching you tube a fair bit over the last year.
Ones that spring to mind are
Ta fishing
Kenny parsons
Avon angler
Carl and alex
Terry Hearn (fantastic scene setter and story teller)
Dave lane (as above blog style)
The carp catcher (blog style) back catalogue very good for hits and tips👍
Inspired me to have a go at rolling my own bait resulting in a new mirror pb 41lb12oz🎣
Found them all good for hints and tips👍

Mark top man and angler imo, he is so grounded, as is Nic, the latter seemingly becoming the proficient angler before our very eyes. He and Mark met up for a fish in episode, so some synergy.
Mark a member on here..

It is rewarding Robert isn't it!?
John Baker's channel inspires you to have a go at it also, not because he has a lot on display, but it's just his passion and his enthusiasm is quite evident.

Hi Damian I’ll have a look at John baker’s channel
As you say to make something yourself, and catch using it is very rewarding.
 
I have watched far too many YouTube fishing channels and have to say there aren’t many that cut the mustard. The very best imo is Terry Hearn. Sticky baits and Cadence do some good stuff as do Westin if you’re into lure fishing. Of the low budget channels I think Mark Erdwin, Perch Jesus, London Perch Finder, and Riverpiker are all worth a look.

River Piker is a font of open information on Lure fishing. If it were not for him and the help and welcome I received from a couple of guys I met through the LAS I would of given up that first winter.
