[Tampon2k10]

thats a grate fishh i relly like the look of that lake might have to try it some time how much is it ?

write back

[TheCarpCatcher]

@Tampon2k10 go to the premiumcarpfishing website mate for details

[TheCarpCatcher]

@Tampon2k10 go to thepremiumcarpfishing website for all details on willow lake mate

[TheAdampat]

can u give me directions for this lake looks rate good nice mirror how much is it for a day ticket my pb is 15 but i get like 5 carp a day so....

[TheCarpCatcher]

@TheAdampat go to the premiumcarpfishing website mate for details

[TexanFishin]

i catch like 5 carp in 1 hour. they are every where in texas

[TheCarpCatcher]

@TexanFishin i catch 100's or roach in an hour there every where here in Cambridge but it really dont mean shit eh fella hope your liking the Brit side of things tho, be lucky

[TexanFishin]

@TheCarpCatcher im just saying, im not a good carp fisherman they are just bycatch we have irrigation creeks that if i wanted to catch carp i could catch more that anyone could imagine.

[TheCarpCatcher]

@TexanFishin everything is relative.

[ultramaster1senatore]

@TexanFishin, u cocky basterd wat a load of bullshit

[byronpowerband23]

i just came back from here its amasing two carp ( 17lb and 22lb ) and a catfish at ( 31lb)

[chrisisbest04]

you caught that 36lb carp because the catfish moved the smaller carp out of the swim, however, that carp was not scared to feed with the 'tadpoles'.

[carpingdude]

wooooooow there are some pukka fish there looks amazing steve

[ReeceyAvFcProduction]

Woah!, that carp was so big!

[o0T08Y0o]

hello again haha. is it hard to cook the chips ? and could u just give me the directions on how to do it please mate, my mum doesnt think i will be able to do it on a gas stove, but u did it, so could u give me the details on how to do it mate.

cheers

[TheCarpCatcher]

Get a cooker thats low down like a sungas, its safer.

Now you surley do not need me to tell you how to cook chips!!

Slice potatoes to your liking heat pan of oil and cook chips till ready!

Here is a good bity of advice.

Never tell your mum what your up too!

They worry......;-)

[o0T08Y0o]

the only problem is would i be able to fish there because i am 14. but if i took an adult would i be able to fish ?

[TheCarpCatcher]

thats an issue, you can fish vermuyden which is next door and has twenties in it.

Go to the premiumcarpfishing website and ring mike to ask for details.

[WonkaDaDonka]

You would have to go to your local bait shop/store and ask them about the local laws. I know when I was a kid I was fishing with a few friends when I was your age without a problem.

[o0T08Y0o]

hi mate good fishing vids, but my pb is 19.9lb at the moment and i set the record with that fish for the lake :D i go there alot, but im looking to go somewhere that i could do a 24hour session and have a good chance of catching a 20lb anywhere u can recommend ?

[TheCarpCatcher]

willow mate

your more likely to catch a twenty than ouwt else

[jakebromley]

i think the best rig u can use is a blow back rig and for pop ups the muzzer or the kd there the recomended rigs bait i fink u should make your bait

alien dont make them round carp have been caught on round boilies for years i fink its alway good to put the effort in and chop your baits down

[TomsTotalCarp]

that 36 was amazing. I think that those stockie carp are the best. They look more carpy. I think that mirros look beter than the commons. They look like old fish and they fight better. My biggest is 15 and looking for a 20. What rigs do u use when fishing

[TheCarpCatcher]

See Pingles Pool - Summer Sessions Part 4 (Carp Rigs)

[TheVinnie911]

top video mate like your style, hope you managed to get your breahfast

[cjcjx1]

quick question i see u use 3 rods is it worth using 1 rod or do i need atleast 2

[TheCarpCatcher]

quick answer

yes one is fine:)

[TheRichie71]

Awesome work !!!!.... i've set myself a target of catching a 20lb common and a 25lb mirror... just missed the common last week at 19.8 .. what tips can you give me (i know they are in there!!) i like fishing snags is this the right tactic!? Thanks

[TheCarpCatcher]

Alright fella

There are no secrets to catching bigger carp you just have to fish somewhere you have a good chance.

It's just a matter of good fortune if a bigger one picks up your bait.

Dont ever beleive all the crap about targeting carp and only catching the big ones It's nonsense.

Once you have done all the hard work concerning location, bait ect then carp fishing is mostly about sitting and waiting and good fortune.

Be lucky fella, i am sure you will be.

[thekieran911]

i like the vids, made me get out there got a few carps biggest was 19lbs and i think you should do a video showing us all your tackle, rods, reels, bivvy, tripod, etc.

[TheCarpCatcher]

It's all there every week in the films mate:) but just for you fella Greys Prodigys 2.75lb Rods Shimano 10000 xtea Reels 20lb X-Line Fox Stalker pod Delkim TXI alarms Trakker SLX Bivvy Prestige four leg Bedchair JRC Coccon Bag Cambridge Carp Bait Boilies

[MATTNATTMATT]

is it possible to catch cod or other fish shop fish? using rod/pole fishing?

[TheCarpCatcher]

not from willow lake you need to go to tescos...it's far easier

[SamTheFisherMan100]

lol

[FishingSamo]

Where is that lake? England you no what i mean?

[TheCarpCatcher]

Fenland Fisheries

Earith

Cambs

UK

[intoxicatedpirate]

orite mate how are u tackling that water are you finding features or spodding or anythin or are you getin out baits with a catabult

[TheCarpCatcher]

Feature finding with smartcast and a light lead.

Never ever spod unless the fish are ok with it.

I use a drennan match catty (blue one) to get the bait out.

Cheers fella

[TheLadsAngler]

Big fan! infact I'l be honest you'v got me into carp fishing... set myself up with a shimano alivio rod with brownin black magic reel and Just last weekend caught my biggest 7lb mirror... but I think it would be fairly good if you made a quick video showing us you rigs and tactics and exactly how you bait and that kinda stuff... just for a bit off advice if you get me :)

regards Ross

[TheCarpCatcher]

Alright mate

Good stuff on that mirror it feels great eh:)

Gary and I will be visiting one of Premium Carp Fishings Stock pools today for an over nighter.

Then intention is to film Bait and Rig films

Which hopefully will be out in a few weeks.

Tight lines bud and well done on your carping.

[TheLadsAngler]

Good luck. I'm one of the younger carpers at 16.. I also think you should do a competion "fish with steve" where you get to fish with stevo and gary.. second place is a signed picture haha.. thanks

ross

[TheCarpCatcher]

Ha! ha!

If you want to fish with me you can book me as a guide on Abbey lake see the premiumcarpfishing link in the description and click on abbey lake link

Cheers young fella tight lines eh.

[uvbeendone]

[carphauler141]

how much of carpagra juice should i put on 1kg of goldfish to rehydrate them

[TheCarpCatcher]

as much as you like:)

But you can easily get 4 kgs out of 250ml

just top up with water and leave for as long as it takes to get the boilies re-hydrated.

[gaz691]

wow that carp has a gob on it, ya get a tennis ball in thair, always amazes me how how diffrent the same species of carp can be, some have big guts some are long an thin outhers very deep, love um, an i realy think we should ban the russiams from fishing our carp lakes, else no more fish like the space hopper

[TheCarpCatcher]

Carp are a bit like people when it comes to all shapes eh.

[flashysubaru11]

Yah they have pissed around wid it but still its one stonker

[flashysubaru11]

[flashysubaru11]

Bloody hell mate check the gut on that bessy nicely done :)

[TheCarpCatcher]

Have a look on my site as the aspect ratio of this film has been screwed up by the monkeys that work for youtube and so it looks thinner and deeper.

Mind you it's still a space hopper of a fish!!

oh, and thx bud.

[TheCarpCatcher]

and so i name that fish

SPACE HOPPER!

[colin1325]
