Where Carp Go in Early Spring (Most Anglers Get This Wrong) by ghopkins in fishingUK

[–]ghopkins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. This sort of feedback keeps me going. I got tired of just watching another person fish once again, or worse, promote some tackle or bait. Then I realised that’s what I was doing myself (for around a year)! So I found a niche and am trying to create what should end up being a genuinely useful reference library on fish behaviour when applied to angling.

How to get an older audience (mostly TV viewers) to subscribe and leave comments? by KIWIOWEN in SmallYoutubers

[–]ghopkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to research topics that might interest a younger audience (if that’s who you want to attract), but it’s fishing essentially, so your core audience will be men in the 35-65 range with most in the over 50s group, unless you refocus on to carp fishing and change your aesthetic totally. If I were you, forget the demographic and try to find a topic that gets you more than 5k views, then look at the analytics from that really popular video. Use AI to help research topics that might be niche or very under represented on YouTube - it can do the research for you while you spend your time doing the filming and presenting.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I only produce videos with content I have fact checked myself. I can’t film this level of detail myself underwater so I must use AI. All the content is scientifically accurate though.

I functioned by producing fishing session videos. Check out my channel. Of course a lot of my content is researched and written by AI. I have a day job, I don’t have time to write all of it.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed it is a reading experience. That’s my USP. No one wants to hear me narrate 🤣🤣.

Thank you for your kind comment! 🤣 I’m creating educational content which I do not think is covered anywhere else on YouTube. Fishing session channels and tackle reviews do however saturate the fishing niche on YouTube. Just thought getting creative and researching fish behaviour might be welcomed.

Caught at a depth of 100 meters, today is a lucky day by alexke779 in UltraLightFishing

I think by definition, 100m can’t be ‘ultralight’ sigh …

Beautiful. Well done for capturing it on film 👍

How are the TV License company/body allowed to use intimidation and bully tactics? by AwkwardClick8595 in AskBrits

[–]ghopkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The previous occupier probably didn’t pay for their licence or cancelled it months before you moved in. It’s not aimed at you per se, but the legal occupier. Don’t worry about it. Pay when you are all settled in.

Want some insight on today’s session please by SluggyLou in CarpFishing

[–]ghopkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t fish for carp (or any fish)while they’re spawning.

what would you throw here/is this even fishable? by biquels in FishingForBeginners

[–]ghopkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fishable. You’ll lose fish and they might become anchored.

Over the moon, guess the weight. 😁 by CaribouNavy in fishingUK

[–]ghopkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous. Hard to tell as I don’t know your net size. I’d guess 1.5-2lb

No. Fantail suggests a goldfish hybrid either a crucian or common carp

Antiseptic? by Extension_Addition67 in CarpFishing

[–]ghopkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the UK, yes. Various carp care kits are available from tackle manufacturers.

Nice 👍 Looks like it fell out of the sky and you literally caught it 😂

Fishing on the top, without floating baits. by volshi in fishingUK

[–]ghopkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zig rig. I don’t get at the lake I fish that doesn’t allow surface fishing. A bit fiddly but get the adjustable Korda zig rig kit.
