I've learned a lot over the past year from you and I caught my pb common that was 20.75lbs last week. It took me a year to find a spot and it required me to use my kayak to find them and to fish from. Sort of a pain using carp rig in a swaying kayak (even though I staked it down). The long spans of time staying still in the yak was worth it. Thanks for your video that got me to this point. I addicted to carp!

As always good stuff Karl, I loved the latest American film and really noticed how your craft has progressed with the cinematography and the little differences in style and production from when Alex was with you. As you just said perseverance is key and it's great to see the channel evolving. Happy for you mate.

Looking back when my Carp fishing and all fishing actually really levelled up was when I started studying my watercraft. Understanding the venue, depth, what the beds made up from, types of weed and how they grow. What natural food is available at different times of year, weather, air pressure, current or flow of the water . It goes on and on but quite a lot of folk I see seem to treat one venue the same as any other. Not only did my fishing improve but as I got more into understanding the natural world in general so an appreciation and love for it I didn't have before emerged.

For example I was fishing a big pond down in the west country about fifteen years back and I blanked the first four sessions . Frustrated but engaged I hit up google and researched the history of the venue and learnt that there had been a small brewery adjacent to the back of the lake that had closed around five years previous. Looking at some old plans I made out that there would have been an overflow and run off from the wastage system that will have ended up in soaking into the earth and likely filter through into the lake bed. I learnt the brewery made ale exclusively and diving deeper I found a couple of old recipes for what they produced. Next session I went and brought a big bag of hops and another of barley, which I soaked and mixed into a big bucket of ground bait. It was like I was at a completely different venue. I had eleven fish, 5 doubles and my first Carp over 20lb. I was like a dog with two dicks and it was a real awakening as to what I needed to be doing if I wanted to have more sessions the same.

that will be my comment for the year then 🤐 Thanks Karl, be lucky.

Thanks for sharing this. I only started fishing for carp about years ago. In that time, my understanding of carp behaviour as been very little. Thankyou for you're insight into the world of bigger carps behaviour and tips on how to catch them.

Look for big fish in waters with big fish seems such a no brainer when said out loud, but sometimes the obvious needs saying to make it obvious.

It was good seeing cal out with you across the pond by the way. Maybe if we're lucky, this year Alex will be up for the trip too.

[neilingle]

Amazing stuff as always Carl! Simple advice without all the nonsense you see on other videos

[artvandelay]

John Baker talks about baits for big carp in one of his podcasts. There's a study showing older fish have better taste receptors so they are more easily spooked when picking up (over) flavoured baits and don't need high levels of attraction.
