I've always wanted to fish for carp when I was younger yet I never was able to hook one. I was caught up in the bolies and all the complex rigs like the hair rig and it just never worked. I saw your video about 2 years ago and used your tips you've mentioned as just sweet corn on a hook and ever since then I've caught TONS of carp. Just wanted to stop by and give some thanks! Always catch and release :D

Carp are so underrated! in Europe they have the right idea having them as a top tier game fish.

I'm going tomorrow morning for carp, I have a local creek and they stay in big schools in little pools of water because the creek is shallow! I use this setup every time for carp and its awesome! You always have the best fishing videos around no doubt!

Glad you are enjoying our videos and thanks for such great feedback :) You have some great fishing on lake St. Clair and as for the T-Turns, you are going to absolutely love them!

Today I got 2 big carp. .using corn it was really fun ..at Lake Erie. ..thanks for your tips sir

I was fishing for largemouth bass using a soft plastic crayfish when a carp gets on the end of my line and my reel started to scream I was using 10lb mono and it took me 15 minutes to catch the carp must have been at least 10lbs best fight I've had yet this year

Glad you are enjoying our videos Nate and thanks for taking time to write - good luck on the water :)

Glad to be able to give you a blast from the past :) Glad you enjoyed the video!

To: will odn odn, Suggest spooling up with fresh, new line and perhaps try a stronger pound line :)

bread works well too :)

Love it!!! People consider carp a junk fish here in Michigan, but pound for pound, I've never fought such a magnificent fish!!! Thanks for the great video!!

Great to hear from you in Michigan and glad you enjoyed the video :) Carp really are a lot of fun to catch!

Hi Joe - it's great to hear that you love to fish and that you have been fishing since you were 5 years old - that's great! Hope you have a fantastic year on the water :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos :) For this particular rig, a lighter sinker is best such as 1/2 ounce :)

I went Carp fishing yesterday for my first time here on the Thames river in Chatham Ont; and it was great. Some of the biggest fish i've ever caught .So relaxing and exciting at the same time ! Thanks for your tips they helped me a lot. I'm relatively new to the sport and your advice has been invaluable to me ( I've seen everyone of your videos at least 4 times each lol) I love how you have a lure company but you're not always pushing them instead your showing how to use a simple set up, hook line and sinker. I never would have thought to fish for carp or catfish if not for your videos. Give Antonio a high 5 for me please , he rules. More videos please lovelovelove the boatless anchor series. Cheers

It’s Nice to see a bass angler promoting carp in a positive way.

This video helped a lot. I went out to try catching carp on corn for the first time and hooked up a nice 6 pounder on a t-turn setup with a circle hook and half an ounce. They put up a great fight!

Glad you had a great time carp fishing - sounds like a fantastic day on the water!

Nice to hear from you proscreens and thank you for the feedback - hope your summer has gone well and good luck on the water this fall :)

Thank you for the kind words and good luck to your trip to the USA :)

I just did this morning with corn and results were amazing. .I got one 5 pounder and lost 2 bigger ones ...I need to work on my ways of ties to the swivels. ..thank you so much for your advice..

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for tuning in :) That sounds very exciting and challenging, using 3 lb test line for carp! We'll have to give it a try.

Thank you for such a nice compliment Lewis - it is very much appreciated :) Heep you are enjoying your summer

Thanks for writing in and sharing your feedback - hope you are having a great year on the water :)

Hi Patrick - thanks for the great feedback and glad you are enjoying our videos...we have plenty more videos coming your way, including more from shore :)

Thanks for all of the great tips. I went carp fishing for the first time and used the tips and caught a 10 pound carp this weekend.

I love seeing someone else enjoying Carp fishing. Everyone around here HATES Carp and have no idea why I love them so much.

Good luck carp fishing - hope you have a great day on the water and thanks for such great feedback - we appreciate it very much :)

We always strive to keep costive and not say anything bad about anybody and let people form there own decisions based on what they read :) Thanks for taking time to write to us and we hope you are having a great year on the water!

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get a chance to try this rig as it really is fantastic! Thanks for writing in and until next time good luck and good fishing :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for writing in :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos and that you want to fish for carp...carp fishing really is a lot of fun :) We like to use corn in a can, right from your local grocery store (such as green giant brand) You can use the corn right out of the can, not cooked. You can also buy frozen corn at the grocery store and that will work also once thawed. Try fishing an area that has weeds or vegetation close by, but fish in the open water - the carp will cruise around looking for food - good luck!

Hi Joshua - nice to hear from you and glad you have enjoyed the video :) Hope you have a great year on the water and that you get into some nice carp :)

Glad you enjoyed this carp episode and thanks for sharing your feedback with us :)

You earned yourself a subscriber. Awesome vid. My uncle told me a story about my late step father who apparently was an insanely knowledgeable fisherman and how he used berries to bait the carp and taught him how to catch a ton. They gave every fish to the other fisherman who weren't having any luck lol.

Another great video! I am a boatless angler on the U.S. shores of Lake St. Clair, and shore fishing can get monotonous sometimes. Your videos have given me inspiration to start trying different things. I love all the different types of fishing you do, please keep it up, I'll go buy some T-Turns now!

Nice to hear from a Pro in the UK and thanks for sharing your tips with us here in North America :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and nice to hear you hooked into a 10 lb carp - nice fish!

Thanks for the tips! Went carp fishing down here in Colorado today and caught a 6 pounder, 8.2 pounder and a giant 11.6 pounder. Keep the videos coming.

Nice - glad to hear you caught your first big carp - congrats!

Great to hear from you in Ottawa! Plenty of great fishing up there and I hope you have a fantastic day on the water catching lots of carp :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck on the water!

Glad you enjoyed the video and nice to hear you are going to give carp fishing a try next year - you'll love it as it really is a lot of fun :)

Once again Ivo great video I was fishing for bullhead and a 10 pound carp took the line and I am addicted to the fight thanks again Ivo I can count on you for a video on every species of fish out there!!!

Great to hear from you in Wisconsin and glad you are having some fun carp fishing - it really makes for a great day on the water :)

Mornings are one of the best times for carp as they are very active and feeding :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking time to write in :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and it sure was a great day and a lot of fun. Carp get a bad wrap only because they are bottom feeders and people think they eat garbage, but really, they are eating vegetation and bugs, etc..

Love corn carp fishing. ...fun to catch....I use a slip sinker and leave the bail open...they don't feel anything till its to late...

Glad to hear you had a good day of carp fishing :)

Great to hear from you in NY - you can still catch crappies from shore in Feb if your lake has not froze over - just look for any kind of structure or if you have any poles, docks or timber in the lake, they will relate close to that structure :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and it really was a great day and a lot of fun :)

I have been a carp fishing promoter for years. I have caught many Carp at the dam in Monroeville, Ohio on the Huron River.... what a blast. I have used dough ball for most of my life, but I am going to try corn the next time I go fishing which will be Monday.. Fish on.....PLE

Nice carp. I use sweet corn. Libbys. Egg sinker. Glass bead. Swivel. And hook. I miss the eagle claw lazer sharp pre snell hooks. They were my favorite. 4lb on ultra lights 6 lb on medium and 10lb on my large rod. St croix 7ft glass rod. Thank you for inspiring me to pick back up this most enjoyable past time.

Hi Nicholas - nice to hear from you and we often get asked that question :) You can use any frozen corn from the grocery store, or any canned corn for the grocery store (just stay away from creamed corn) It's great to hear you are going to try fishing for carp and you will soon find out that it is a lot of fun :)

I've fished in Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan, Ohio and now going to make my way to California next year :) Plenty of great fishing in the USA :)

HI kharvick - nice to hear from you and thanks for sharing the laws of the USA with us....we are from Canada and perhaps that is why things are different. Anyhow, hope you have a good year on the water :)

Hi Nigel - thanks for tunign in and good luck on the water :)

Thanks for the feedback and great to hear from you in the UK :)

Glad you enjoyed this carp episode and I really did have a lot of fun that day :) Corn is a good bait to use and so are dough balls :)

Glad you enjoyed our video and thanks for taking time to write :)

Thanks for writing in and sharing your tips with us :)

Hi Kyle - you sure can - just slide a sinker on you line and then tie on a T-Turn - then off the T-Turn, you can tie 2 lines each with a hook. We used this rig for catfish and it worked great :)

10 lb carp are fun to catch - thanks for writing in and sharing your story with us :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos MrGordo2345 :) The drag was actually set fairly tight, the carp are just so strong, they just peel line very easy.. Hope you are able to catch a big one - you'll be amazed at the fight :)

Hi Aaron and thanks for sharing - sounds lie you are having some great days on the water!

Hey guys beginner here! tried out fishing and fell in love with it. your videos really helped and inspired me! Keep doing an awesome job :D

Thanks for your feedback and for taking time to write - hope you have many great days of carp fishing :)

Great to hear form you in Vegas and good luck on Lake Mead!

Glad you enjoyed the video and this episode was filmed in Chippawa Ontario at Lyons Creek :)

Glad you are catching carp and having fun :)

Hi Alejandro - the good news is, for carp fishing, all you need is just regular corn that you buy from your local grocery store. You can use the corn in a can or you can also buy the frozen corn in a bag. You do not need to cook the corn, you can use it straight out of the can or bag :) Good luck carp fishing :)

Thanks for the feedback and for taking time to write :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you catch your first carp and then many more as it really is a lot of fun :)

That's outstanding Arthur and congrats on your first carp!

That's a good fish & I know about the fight aspect. The carp from the whirlpool are great fighters... since they are constantly swimming against strong currents they become very strong themselves. Good fishing to you Mike! :)

I will keep that in mind for future episodes - thanks for the feedback and good luck on the water :)

They really do give a good fight. Good fishing!

Hi Ernie - great to hear from you and glad you enjoyed this carp episode :) Sounds like you have a great day of fishing ahead of you today - good luck on the water!

Thank you for the lightning fast response. BTW, I really enjoy all your videos, but particularly your shore fishing ones. I find them very informative.

Great to hear form you in Germany and thanks for sharing some of your European techniques with us :)

Great to hear from you in CA :) one easy way to find out what kind of fish you have in the feeder creek, is to use a night crawler as bait. Just use a piece of night crawler on a hook. You can also try to use minnows as well. Most every fish will hit a night crawler. Good luck :)

Hi Tong - yes, you can use circle hooks for carp and when you do, you do not really set the hook, you just start to reel in with the circle hook and the carp will end up hooking himself. Size 2 is a real good size to use and be sure to use a good, strong hook :) Besides the circle hooks, octopus style hooks are also very good - they are a strong hook with a nice hook gap.

Hi Thundermist, I used to live in Nashville Tennesse when i was young and lernt to fish with lures and plastic worms for large and small mouth bass, we used to use chicken liver for catfish i also caught a fish that i beleave was called a drum or thats what my american step father called it. I would love to go back one day and fish there again. Well i now live back in the uk and fish mostly for carp im glad to see americans starting to fish for carp more and more. Its also great to see the setups you guys use they are a bit on the primative side compared to us in the uk (thats a first usally america is more advanced then the uk from what i can remember anyway) UK carp are so heavily fished for you would not have the best of luck using that sort of rig on a stocked carp fishing lake but i still use rigs just like this for carp fishing on the rivers where the carp dont get presured and harldy get to see a rig throughout the year.. 30 lb line sounds a bit high what diameter is the line.. My biggest carp to date is 33 pound 4 oz that was caught on 12 pound line, most people here use 12-15 lb line with a diameter of around 0.30 to 0.40 give or take depending on your chosen line. thanks for the great video its good to see our american brother taking up carp fishing and i very much look foward to watching some more of your videos.. sorry for my spelling and punctuation i should of spent more time in school and not bunked off to go fishing for days on end..

HI Daniel - great to hear from you and congrats on the 30 lber....that's a nice fish and I'm sure you had a real battle on your hands....very nice!

I really did and thank you for giving me tips. And the best part is that there are way bigger ones that i see all the time.

Sorry to hear you lost that nice carp but glad to hear you T-Turn kept you tangle free :)

Glad you enjoyed this carp video and I was using a size 2 circle hook :)

Hi Eric - we use corn right out of a can from the grocery store. It is not cooked. We also buy bagged frozen corn from the grocery store and just let it thaw and then use it. Both work great :)

Glad you enjoy carp fishing! Keep breaking your personal bests!
