E-S-P - Martin Bowler - Searching For Solace

Martin heads deep into the valley to an ancient estate lake that the famous Chris Yates once referred to as 'Jade Lake' in his old book 'Secret Carp'. Surrounded by the best scenery that the UK has to offer, Martin angles with one rod for the mysterious residents below the surface...

Beautiful Video, what fishing is all about, not fighting over swims, catching fish for social media "likes" or attention, just respecting nature and your quarry, relaxing and enjoying your hobby. Well done ESP.

One of the best carp videos on YouTube brings back memories

One of the few gents in angling no agenda will talk to anyone genuinely nice guy. Angling needs more ambassadors like Martin. After speaking to him at a fishing show I caught my first 10 lb barbel. A total change in my bank behaviour, rigs and putting in time. Well done!

I was lucky enough to be in the syndicate on this lake for 5 years, such a magical place and the added bonus was I got to fish it with Tim Norman and the late great Terry Lampard. still visit the place regularly and it holds a special place in my heart.

[DaveBoothangler]

Absolutley captured everything about carp fishing in that vid...AWESOME !!!

[easyfishing]

Another beautiful video from ESP. With Martin’s calm narration it gives these video’s the edge over others! Two points the aerial shot of that carp fighting in clear water was brilliant and why didn’t ESP put spiral points on their measuring sticks so we can get them in hard banks!

[darrensartin]

Well done martin. Esp has some top anglers who know how to present a good video. No nonsense just good angling in beautiful surroundings.

Mr Bowler is my favourite contemporary fisher! His video with Chris Yates was as sweet as a nut, and all the rest are in a similar vein (relaxed, atmospheric, nature-based). Much needed

[paullawrence]
