Yeah it has obviously not been caught often, that big comman,I think perhaps a better indication would be if there are any hookhold marks / scars in the corner of the mouth.
Great vids, but can I dispell the myth that if a carp has a curtain in it's mouth it has not been caught before!!! think about what he is saying, he has just caught that fish and the curtain is perfectly intact!!
@TheCarpCatcher hey steve i went the other day to a lake in norwich and caught my pb a 16lb common for me thats pretty good im only 12 nice common u got there too ;)
and considering the lake it fished every day even through winter, ok its a big water but to get one like that was just great. Super video mate as all of yours are.
Ok whats the actual fact about the curtain of skin at the top of a carps mouth mate? Is it as Matt Hayes has told millions on his shows and dvds . "The carp has never been hooked/caught before" or is it just a carp that has been caught a few times maybe but not on the top lip? Thanks i only ask as i had a 19lb 11oz mirror from a lake near me recently which is Very over fished and the curtain was there and the mouth was Mint, i must say i was well happy as its the first carp ive had with it.
hiya m8 great videos i started carping about 18 months ago an me pb is only 18.5 but hopin to bank sum bigga ones real soon keep up the good work m8 !!! ken
What`s going on with English Carping? I always thought English lakes were pressured to death. You always look like there isn`t another soul in sight! ;-)
Steve that was a beatifull common mate hope that I catch one next year getting new gear for christmas the lot and I probs start end of feb beggining of march nearly every Friday night afterschool cannot wait just been to Florida and I actually missed like I so bad wanna go again anyway talk to you later and merry Christmas!
Mate, have blaged a ticket on Ashley in Cheshunt, its a lea valley water, old gravel pit lots of weedy area's....any advise? thought i might try the choddy but never fished one.
my rigs are simular to yours mate.....simple! proberly simpler. i know a few of your edges, remember ;o). ive never used the withy as ive never felt like ive nneded it. but has caught u some by the looks of it - good angling!
Bloody brilliant mate what a session eh getting a fish aint easy at this time of year so getting two is awsome and what a common ,jealous who me nah not arf nice one geezer.
hey steve amazing fish and well done getting not 1 but 2 fish in a day and i want to no as i am just starting out carp fishing could you recomend some gear for me to help me get started out and maybe catch my first double figure fish and my biggest so fa4 is a 9lb 10ocz common and i realy want a double figure fish in 2009, cheers mate and congrats again
brilliant blog again steve just a quick question mate are the delkims any good im gettin some new alarms and dunno wether to get the delkim txi pluses with the reciever or the atts any help would be appreciated tight lines fella
Hi Steve, the sundridge optonics are great on their own, but not when used with the sound box. One bleep on the alarm results in 3 bleeps on the sound box..it used to drive me crazy, especially at night.
Oooh mate what a minter, truly a well deserved fish that fella, the withy can be devastating in the autumn when the leaves have covered the lake bottom eh.
What a lovely set of commons fella, both in pristine condition, yet another top blog and a well spent 14 minutes seeing someone who loves fishing lke you do have a buzzin time. Well done fella.
what a fish!!!! another lovely video welll done! Well presented as usual. That was a cracker. you the only one on the lake because ur the only one mad enough to be out there, hehehe, well done steve tight line
NICE ONE cracking fishing m8 in the conditions you had you done really well mate you always catch a fish in your videos so your defently doing something rite
you should think your self lucky you have any reeds, the lake I fish has just had a work party down an they striped the place of reeds an weed beds, bloody annoying. nice fish you got m8, hope you get the outher one out that you want.
great video once again. will there be videos from august, september, october ? seemed to have jumped from new pastures which was july to this video which is novermber? just wonderin mate. cheers.

Carp with curtains in the mouth are fish that have either never been caught before or most likely only once or twice.
I had a 26 common from Pingles pool that had a curtain in it's mouth!

Fish the margin and fish waters with doubles.
