paul w douglass glad you enjoyed it Paul 😊

Darwin Davies so glad you found it helpful mate 😊👍

Liam Burnes Hi Liam! Thanks mate! The best video won’t be far away 😉😉😉

Really do like your videos would love an update on your own lake and are we going to see a mark vs harry challenge in the future...keep up the good work..😎🎣👍

Dave Thompson thank you Dave! Glad you found it informative! 😊😊👍

Sam Sobi Pictures thank you Natalie!! Ohhh, 277?! ...that’s always been my favourite number! 😄😄

Yeah, so you buy some more, that why Fairbrass has a big grin on his face, laughing all the way to the bank

andrew may glad you enjoyed it Andrew 👍

Bruce Simmons To be honest mate I don’t think you’ll find a more detailed zig fishing video than this!! It’s all fully explained here mate. It’s a 3ft hooklink and the float can be moved up and down in the water column 👍👍

That's what i want to know too?

Absolutely mate. It doesn’t matter what the water clarity is like, carp are totally adapted to feeding in their environment. If the fish are within the water column then they are capable of feeding efficiently in the water column 😊😊👍

Cheers for the reply mark. I'll give them a go then

smudge10 hi mate. Because my lake is very shallow, average depth 4ft, and in the past lots of fish were getting foul hooked on zigs. It’s something that can be an issue on shallow venues.

That makes sense cheers mate thanks for taking the time to reply

Byron Elliott 😊😊😊

carper stu vinter hi mate! Yes absolutely. It’s available for full lake bookings for up to 4 anglers, from Monday to Friday 😊😊

Ray Hagens thanks Ray, really glad you enjoyed it 😊

Alan Lowndes Hi Alan, not really, you can still have a small drop on your bobbin 😊😊

But with a zig your measuring the distance from the lead surely.... your only able to judge the distance from the surface by having a previous value and then doing the subtraction.

@@Thegasman-hc3zz but as I said depths can vary greatly in most lakes, but we always quote what distance the fish are at, from the surface, then reverse it. If I believe the fish are 3ft below the surface and I have a 3ft hooklink, I will let the float come to the surface then wind down 6ft, the depth in that case is immaterial.

Yeah I hear what you’re saying. You would have to know the depth first mate to know how far from the surface you are. For fixed zigs it was more about the length of the hooklink, so a 10ft zig was basically a 10ft long hooklink. I would personally say, as an example, a 10ft zig in 15ft of water, which leaves no confusion I guess 😊😊

@@MarkPitchers No you don't Mark, cast you adjustable zig and let the float come to the surface, with a 3ft hooklink reel in 3ft and the floater/foam is on the surface, then adjust to whatever distance you want to try beneath the surface. Without trying to sound like an 'old git' it's not much different than using an anchored piece of floater cake that I used back in the 80's. Love your videos though Mark whether they are the challenge, your blogs about your lake etc. Keep em coming👍

Matthew Taylor hope you enjoy the vid mate!!

@@MarkPitchers I enjoy all your videos mate, the challenges, carp life, I've watched them all, keep up the top work fella👍

MrDINODINO74 gotcha... so you only listen to advice from people who don’t go fishing much and don’t catch a lot? That might be where you’re going wrong...😜😄😄

@@MarkPitchers , I can't take your experience for granted because you are one from the special one's, you are trying hard to show is not true probably afraid that the specialist will experiment on you , but you don't have to worry about catching fish is not taking as a miracle anymore , the last one they put in on cross, so you are safe. I appreciate your knowledge, your way to talk about and I am grateful for your efforts yours and your team. Keep up the good work, RESPECT.

MrDINODINO74 mate, my reply was very much tongue in cheek.. I would really like to hear how you get on in the future with your zig fishing. Hopefully you picked up some little tips from this video, but the best advice I can offer is just to keep things as simple as possible and have confidence in your approach. Good luck 😊😊🎣🎣

@@MarkPitchers thank you very much, but has nothing to do with luck , either you are born with or you are fishing like an electrician or a genist from the infantry . In my case is like this ... first time when I am going to fish on the new year, back home was in April every year, it's how I will do that entire year , so if I am catching fish that day, I will have a good year if not I don't have to other I till next year , because that year is condemn any way. The beauty of this kind of fishing is that the carp is so curious that will taste anything is floating , and is a good excuse for my bad years... I wasn't on the right height to meat the fish. 😊

James Paul Thats a very good point you’ve raised (no pun intended). For me an inturned eye narrows the gape too much. I would always use an out-turned eye, along with fine silicone over the eye to ensure the line exits the hook as straight possible. This results in a wide gape and therefore more chance of the hook catching a hold in the carp’s mouth 😊👍

@@MarkPitchers Alright then! I'll give the out turned eye a wirl and see how I get on. #trustinpitchers 😁

Charlie Higgs it’s still happening mate. It will be back soon with a new format! 😊😊
