On Coarse With Dean Macey - Pike And Crucian Carp DVD

Advantages: It's less than an hour in length and cheap.
Disadvantages: Too many to mention.

...fishing back on the bottom. Well I've pieced together all the information and I hope it helps. But as far as dvd's go this is the worst that Bob Nudd has put his name to. It's a shame really because this is one style of fishing that appeals to most pole anglers, but because of its bad editing you never get to enjoy it .......what a let down, and because of this I can only give it two stars, afterall I have seen much worse in the past. The best bit is seeing his haul of fish, a lovely net of 30 to 40lb of mixed crucian carp, tench and common carp. Runtime 56mins Extras None Cost £3.33 (3 dvd's for £10 in local store) Made 1993 Released on dvd 2006 Produced by Kevin Maddocks Directed by Liam dale Many thanks for reading.... Read review

The first part teaches you about tackle, bait, rigs, line choice and a look into Andys tackle box.

Disadvantages: some more or longer episodes would be nice

...My partner has recently got back into coarse fishing from when he was a kid and so I decided to buy him a fishing DVD for Christmas. I was a little unsure what to buy and so consulted a "fishing god" I know who has been doing it all his life and he advised that anything by Matt Hayes would be a good choice. I decided to have a look on ebay and saw this one for a "buy it now" for about £4 and bought it. Cover: When the DVD arrived I was a little sceptical about what it was going to be like as it was a simple photograph of Matt on the front and four photographs on the back (....maybe it is just me..coming for an era of bright lights and computer graphics!) The back cover gives a basic overview of what is included on the DVD: Fishing for Carp and Catfish in France, Barbel and Chub in the UK, Carp in Italy and Catfish in Spain... Read review
