The over head cast when done right (a smooth motion, no whip jerking, etc) , allows a much longer cast with very little effort from the angler. Plus it dramatically increases the "horizontal" accuracy of the cast, if needed.

I saw one yesterday that had to be over thirty pounds swimming around in the weeds around a pier that I fish on... I of course had all my carp fishing stuff at home and only had a bag of rubber worms and dropshot stuff. My biggest carp caught from shore around here was about 22 pounds and I have been carp fishing for about twenty years here.

Good day at the fly hole tom! That first fish was on his way to becoming a giant. As far as the casting controversy . I would think we should master all forms of casting. I use the overhead cast for distance and accuracy . When I'm useing a spod I will cast my bait to the floating spod after it dumps. I just find I'm more accurate with an overhead cast in this scenario . There's only one way to get under over hanging trees . Side arm. Key thing is to get the bait in the warter. Tight lines tom.
@OutsidewithTom 14 күн бұрын
Yep, as long as the bait makes it to the spot, who cares how it gets there. I like that idea of using the floating spod as a marker.

@gordygroover 15 күн бұрын
One reason for the European style of casting is their adding a batch of chum to one specific and precise location. The straight overhead casting ensures you will be spot on as far as left and right is concerned.
@svetirok9478 15 күн бұрын
Točno. U ribolovu franilicom (feeder fishing) izbačajem iznad glave(overhead casting) postiže se bolja preciznost. Odredi se orjentir i daljina i izvrši zabačaj. Precizno zabacivanje je posebno važno u teškim uvjetima za ribolov. Kada ima puno prepreka u vodi i iznad nje. Smatram da je "overhead casting" puno precizniji nego "overhand casting "&"backhand"

@northernlight40 15 күн бұрын
The casting thing is for distance and accuracy because we bait a swim instead of using pack baits as the only method to get bait in the swim and casting straight is the only way to hit the baited area consistently,another reason is because the fisheries in Europe are more pressured with fewer fish , I am ex Pat and fish for carp in Canada and I can confidently tell you you would catch many more fish if you pre bait a selected area then cast on it rather that randomly flinging it out ,but as you say each to his own ,whatever works for you.
@OutsidewithTom 15 күн бұрын
I can certainly see how overhead casting would be useful for precision bait placement. That's not really something that I'm into, as my time is very limited and I prefer to get hooks in the water right away rather than spend time baiting and disturbing the swim at the start of a session. The places I fish are usually pretty far from home, so I rarely have the opportunity to apply bait ahead of time. Figuring out where the fish will already be feeding naturally is my preferred tactic, rather than bringing them to me with baiting. More than one way to catch a carp. Thanks for sharing your opinion on the subject, I appreciate it.
@northernlight40 15 күн бұрын
@@OutsidewithTom no problem and just to be clear I wasn’t criticizing how you do it because it works for you , the way I fish today would be hopeless back home but I probably catch more carp than most because we live in the lands of plenty and I fish a couple of lakes that are 70 miles and 45 miles long and pre baiting is your only chance ,but when they find it 20 fish a session is not uncommon.

Fact of the matter is the Euro anglers are spoiled by having heavily maintained 'venues' to fish from... those places are maintained on a level NO US lake or reservoir receives (except pay lakes maybe), they clear the brush, sweep each swim, groom the weeds, etc... let's see that overhand chop type cast on any lake that has brush, overhanging weeds, huge trees, hydrilla mats, etc etc.....

I immediately thought, in this situation I would have thrown the fish carcass on the bank for raccoons & vultures and whatnot. Perhaps the smell of dead carp in the water would spook other carp? And maybe it would have served as a honey pot for the flys? Just some thoughts...

In my state, discarding dead fish on the bank is considered littering. Kinda ruins the spot for everybody else.

They might be spawning in your area, or maybe they're feeding at a different time of day. Lots of variables to consider, those are just 2. One thing I do know, changing bait won't help anything. Keep trying different tactics, you'll figure them out. Good luck!
