Mick Bull - Short Pole Fishing for Big Carp

Mick Bull qualified for the Golden Reel Final back in March this year. So, we thought we would go back and revisit how he qualified. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan, so rather than waste the day Mick had seen a few carp showing very short, so we had a go fishing for them with hard pellets and he literally bagged up.

Mick shares with you in this video, how he qualified and some useful tips which you may find valuable next time you are out carp fishing.

Filmed at Larford Lakes in Stouport-on-Severn.

Only a master like you can make
It look so easy, but we all know it isn't.
Days like this don't come round that often,
Even for the best like yourself.

All the best,

I love the comment that says he should be catching well he's the only one there! I bet mic didn't know that and is really glad you told him!!

Because bait is always landing by accident right in front of your pallet it is good to sometimes fish the ‘Keep net line’ and catch some chunky carp.

It is so amazing when you know how close they come 👌😱😱😰

I started matching fisihng only a few weeks ago u stated on float and got taught by my dad and mates I soon mastered that but as most of mates also ledger fish for carp I started that as well so now I'll ledger fish most of the time with you my mates and there parents as there's a age limit you have to be to stay the night alone I'll occasionly float fish and match fishing every Thursday in the junior matches

I’m 15 regularly fish in matches of a Sunday with my club full of adults I place mid table which I think is respectable for my age as I do fish against fully grown men I have a match tomorrow and might try fishing short top 3-4 hoping I can win, thanks for the tips🎣🎣

What thickness of elastic is used for fishing? Soft elastic does not say much.

[kevingoffin]

How many thousands of fish are in that lake .. (Or millions )

[richardgoodwin]

Good tips Mick what size landing net are you using. Richard

[carpability]

What bib and brace are you using. I need a set for the bigger man so to speak.

Guessing that's the frenzee 6e pole ???

[gamer-wjbc]

2:56 fish to the left between the ducks and his shoulder xd

[martinlinturn]

what containers does he have pellets in ?

[wizardwithguns]

I always lose carp on the pole, they slip the hook, what am I doing wrong? Also when they run do I just let the elastic go?

[MrBritdog]

great video mick what rating is your elastic please

[timhuntington]

Great vid Mick, what elastic are you using here, surprised how you get them in so quick, I fish a water with snags, lily pads etc so have to fish a heavy elastic 16 to 18 solid, any advice appreciated. TIA

doesn't work like that on our ponds with light gear as the carp go off like trains and straight into any snag they can find especially close in lillies

[robertgrant]

be nice if you let us see the fish !!!!
