Your videos are great,Jerome! I thought,that carp maniacs are only in Europe,but now I know,I was wrong...You showed me,that buying expensive carp boilies,pellets and dips is only a waste of money...As said Danny Fairbrass from England:"better spend your money on hooks". I'm waiting for Your new videos!

[masteredgi]

4:20 what for fishwas there?

[gggbbbeee]

Do you allow people to send you baits to test? (or request baits?)

Also, you should have a donation page up (or even better, a web site).. I find your videos very useful and would definitely donate to keep them coming!

Thanks for creating and uploading them..

(from an avid UK carp fisherman)

@gggbbbeee such underwater video tests take a LOT of time, and I can only do it a couple of months per year, so the list of things to try is loooong... Not much point sending me bait, quite frankly. As to donations or Web site, check your private messages...

[Tote1883gas]

@gggbbbeee Ive fished birdfood based boilies for years, they are very attractive to the fish and give off loads of little flakes of the birdfood which makes them very appealing. If you roll your own bait, dont be afraid to drop the fishmeal for a few extra kgs of quality birdfood, just up the milk level a bit

[nolje21]

Congratulations. Best regards from Montenegro. Its realy nice to see this. In my Scadar Lake, people catch carps ilegaly with dynamites and with electric power. :-(

We, sport fishers, dont have a chance. Police dont work anything about that. Its said.

[carpingbonkers]

Cracking stuff could watch these all night ,hope you are going to make some more using different hookbaits and rigs fascinating well done

[raffles70]

taht was so fool please post some more of carp videos that was 10 out of 10 well done

[ronilac18]

Where is this, i mean the place? I can see city but.. .And must say the, its nice to see when rivers and lakes in cities are full of fish.

[JeromeMoisand]

Boston, USA. Charles river.

[flyfisherman505]

Have you prepared that birdfood? If you don't it can kill the carp.

[JeromeMoisand]

Sure, I soaked it and boiled it. Actually my wife did (yes, she's great). You're right, not a good idea to use it out of the bag.

[flyfisherman505]

Good Good. I use it regularly now. Its cheap, effective and easy to use.

[moore1800]

The fish seen at 4:20 are bluegill... identifiable by the dark spot on the gill.

[dragannov]

your vids are priceless to me !

during recording you have monitor conection with your cam?

[JeromeMoisand]

Glad to see you're enjoying those videos.

Yes, the underwater camera is connected by a long cable to a small video monitor.

[wvSpongeCakewv]

just wondering what camera u use coz i wanna start makin underwater videos

[JeromeMoisand]

It was an Aqua Scout XL, but this model no longer exists. An Aquavu Explorer 5 or Explorer 7 would be my recommendation for a more recent model. The seller (Nature Vision) is located in the US. I am not quite sure if there is a reseller in Europe.

[wvSpongeCakewv]

thanks for that m8

[Paulsb2005]

just picture a nice popped up course pellet or boilie there, i wudnt think itle last long. This is a nice vid as it gives insight to how good a pop up wud look and work among lots of rested loose feed. Popped up an inch just to stand out and that porky one who seemed to be a show pony lol kept eyeing right into the camera wud sucked it up a treat. Nice bottom to fish on to there.

[marky3085]

Not crappie but close though. They are some species of sunfish, most likely bluegill. I wish I could go to England so I could catch roach, tench, etc.

[salomons4lyfe]

nice 1!!!!! those littlle fish at 4 20 were crappie i think but im not sure cuz i love in england

[Paulsb2005]

Love in england hehe. Yeah im with you though i live in england to and dont know what they are!. Id hit a few mag covers for catching one of them smaller fish at my local fishery here i know lol

[KarperBeet]

Nice vid, what kind of fish were those small ones at 4:20

[hebikni]

i start fishing wit birdfood and the fish loving it

[peanut333s]

no lol. the bird food

[JeromeMoisand]

You either let it soak in water for a few days (no cooking), or you just boil it for a few minutes.

[peanut333s]

how do you cook it?

[perikles88]

look at this dogfood,the first page shows you the type,and then try to find a similar dogfood,they dont float they sink,a perfect bait!believe me!try and catch and show your nice videos again,greetz from munich

[perikles88]

hi

did you tryed dog food?like frolic?perfect carp bait,belive me,nice videos

[JeromeMoisand]

No Frolic where I live (in the US). And I believe it floats, right? Can't do an underwater video then! ;-)

[catdetectives]

I would like to know more about the bait. Great video.

[JeromeMoisand]

This is sweet feed (pellets used to feed horses). Sweet because it includes molasses. You can buy it by bags of 50lb at feed stores, and you're getting something quite equivalent to CSL pellets (but much cheaper!)

[catdetectives]

Thanks Jerome - looks like a good loose feed / groundbait. might try it barbel fishing. Are you using it on the hook or as a paste - can it be mixed as a paste. Thanks for responding as well.

[JeromeMoisand]

If you fish close to shore, you can shovel it. Otherwise, you can spod it. I've used it this way with great success to keep carp feeding. This also became an integral part of my typical recipe for method balls. Can't use it on the hook, those are basically (cheap) pellets.

[kevinkeay0382]

do you know if they also eat sweet cake?

[JeromeMoisand]

Probably! Anything sweet tends to work.

[JeromeMoisand]

Er... catdetectives, very sorry, I got mixed up between two of my videos... This video was NOT about using sweet feed! As the title rightfully says, it was birdfood. Can't remember any more details about it. Sorry again for the confusion.

[catdetectives]

Hello Jerome - bird food - will give it a go. Thanks for getting back to me. I would think the loose bait really draws them in. Will also try some dog food as per perikles88's advice - i know many use it.

[FloWeimar]
