Not over the moon about his use of "scaley banger", enough of that going about without Tel adding to it!
Great storyteller & watch though.

He wants to use a better butcher for his sausages then, still, makes a change from "old warrior" I suppose.
Gotta keep the kids on line.

It seems to me he has planned his fishing two years ahead. Moving the boat, research, observation etc. He is a talented angler and very experienced on the Thames. So he is in the right place, doing the right things, at the right time as often and as long as he needs(lucky beggar). So yes it really is that easy. He is the master of the KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid.

lol, easy...it can be if you get it right, bait up, find the fish, dodge the boats, crackheads, bream and everything else the biggest water in the uk can throw at you, yeah easy. I blanked the first year i seriously fished the river and then caught 1 the following year, probably 30 nights worth of nothing but bream. Easy

Fair enough but my point was that carp fishing can be very easy when you get it right. All carp die, very hard to plan for.

I really enjoyed watching these couple of films. Interesting to watch something a bit different to the normal lake fishing. Not something I could ever see myself doing, but got me wondering. How do you even go about getting a mooring, do you buy them or rent them? Does the Thames have rules? Do you travel up one side and down the next like you would on a road? Do you have to pass some sort of test to be able to use a boat on there? I wouldn't have the first idea how to use a lock. I'm utterly clueless about the whole thing. Can you just moor up somewhere for the night and fish?
Has anyone on here ever had a boat? I've got the grand union canal near me. Fished it years ago. Saw loads of canal boats but never any little cabin cruisers like tels. Can you use them on a canal or are they too shallow?

I'm far from an expert but my mate has a boat on the nene. You need to some sort of licence but I don't think there's a test. You also have to pay an annual fee - a bit like road tax. Moorings can be leased, and there is a difference between residential and non-residential, and the prices vary wildly depending on location as well as services (electric hook up, running water etc) Locks are fairly straightforward once you get your head round them, and I'm pretty sure cabin cruisers are allowed on canals. I think you can moor up and fish more or less anywhere you like, but with a bit of common sense applied of course.

Yes always had a variety of boats since i started on the thames early 90's.
most have been 'tenders' but owned a small cabin boat for a year, cost a great deal, had the most atrocious weather for over half the year, caught a few decent fish but sold it and went back to a small tender. Working full time meant I didn't really get enough use out of it to warrant the cost though should i have been a full timer like terry hearn, it's a great adventure.

Thanks for the replies.
That's why I couldn't ever see me doing it. One I haven't got the money and two I don't even make the best of the lake tickets I've got. Let alone the expense of a boat. Looked a great adventure though. I hope he does another one.
