i remember the good ol days of one rod carping where you you could sit comfortably in your swim without 60 rods flying across the lake allday and sometimes in your swim. i still love carp fishing but find its all gone fasion. kids now days shun float fishing even for carp. ive even had loads of rows and a couple of tear ups with ignorant selfish carp fisherman. ive even been asked to move swim cos i only had one rod and was told im selfish fishing in this big swim with one rod. slapped.lol
What a great looking carp, not bloated on boilies with a big gut !, you clever devil wilson. This vid looks like it was made before the boom in carp fishing about 15 years ago. Anyone have any thoughts on on this subject, interested to hear them.
There are still lakes with carp in that haven't suffered from the camping bollie boys, you just have to look for them. Nothing beats a floating bait for surface feeding carp on a summer's evening .
@drcarnage83 Aye there is a lake near me in the middle of the forest that belongs to our local fish club but not many people go there as it has no parking near it. The carp freely roam the surface without fear and i can sit for hours and watch them. Free lining crust/dog mixers on the surface still works a treat. Luckily it's a 10 min walk from my house so i just travel light 2 rods, minimal gear for stalking some bait and i'm sorted for the day.
My wife thought I was watching porn just, all that aahh and ooohhh. He has catch phrases in later programs, " Come to Johnny " and "Gotcha". His daughter Lisa is alright, watch Dream fishing when they fish for Hake and she pulls the rod and and it thumps down on the safety rail !
With john wilson not only do you get great angling footage , but gardening tips as well ( lol ) , his progs in the 80's were the best ones he ever made imao !
tut no mat tho no one moans here lol cud have been a large sharp peble in that grass and took a few scales off!. every video where they dont have a unhooking mat people moan, lol so im doing it here, legend or not! get a mat wilsy baby (lol shocked he aint called himself that yet)
hehe same although i have all the original tapes, i bought them brand new around same time i bought a passion for angling (or my dad got it for me i cant remember lol), dont he catch a baby carp in the net on this one? sorry if it shows that i aint watched it all yet on here.
i love john wilson, he always seems to have the wrong weight line with him which ads to the drama lol

Damn, good old times. But I still like carp-float-fishing with a match rod. Maybe my fishes aren't so big but it's good fun :)
