Cheers mate! We was actually wondering how productive the middle of the lake would be. Thats good to know. And ahh yes mate! We have just filmed episode 3 at Baden hall. That will be out in a few weeks. And our next session is going to be kingfisher lake (if we manage to get on) 👍🏽💪🏼 cheers Phillip 👍🏽

@@carpinterest yeah tbf that's just where most of the carp were showing at the time... And nice1, I'll look forward to watching them, there's some absolute bangers in quarry and kingfisher 👌 I've just come back today from a social on glover's at Baden, the best social we've had tbf, one of the lads had the big common off at 45.08, new lake record, and had about 5/6 30's off too. Good luck on kingy 🎣

@@philipglancy8593 ahhh. No way! What a session!! Class that is. Might have to get in glovers soon too! 😅 thanks mate appreciate it 💪🏼

The baby bell was a great idea. Worked well. Cheers mate appreciate that 👍🏽🤙🏼

Cheers mate! Yeah some stunning fish reside in the mere! Lucky enough to have a few.

We have only fished it once mate so not sure about hot pegs. However when we was there pegs 1&2 did like 30+ fish.

Cheers Matt! Legend! Numerous videos coming out this year 👍🏽

They definitely tasted better than they looked 👍🏽💪🏼🤙🏼

Choclate malted milks is a great shout! Proper tea dippers them!

Nice one Alex! We appreciate that. Fair few videos coming this year 👍🏽

Cheers Ian! Fair few videos coming this year. 👍🏽👍🏽 and as for the burger rating! I could squeeze to a 5? 😅

I’d outfish you any day of the year you nod. Don’t bash others enjoyment!

Haha! Everyone’s saying it’s harsh! I think the video made it look better 👀👀

I hear you! Chocolate hobnobs great shout! And I thought that’s what we was meant to do at fishing? I smash numerous packs of biscuits each session 👀

Cheers Aaron! Legend 👍🏽

The biggest carp caught in Britain is actually 75lb from Holme Fenn. However the BRFC didn’t verify it.

Cheers mark! I’ll be more generous next time! 😅

4 was for presentation 👀 it tasted good though 👍🏽😅

Cheers Martyn Liam will be happy with that comment 🤙🏼😂

@@carpinterest 🤣🤣

I’ll have to be more generous next time! 😅😅

Same here

Legend 🤙🏼

Stunning fishery mate. Will have some right settings in the summer that lake

@@carpinterest definitely lads .

Aiming for the 12th of May mate 🫡

@@carpinterest sound lads . Hope it’s a good one again.

😂😂😂 legend. A shaved Bermuda it’s on the list 😂😂 cheers for watching mate. Definitely will try more In the silt next time 👍🏽

Cheers mate! It’s a lovely looking lake will fish it again at some point. And they sound like solid tactics. Yeah the Morrisons caramelised burgers will go on the list 😀 Regarding the drone mate they are banned at linear however I contacted them beforehand to gain permission. You will need drone license and insurance 👍🏽

@carpinterest ah cool! Yeah I already have the drone license, I could blag the insurance bit 😜🤣🤣 I'd just like some nice high shots of the lake I might fish

@@MrCarpking71 tbf mate if you go on to coverdrone you can buy daily insurance. Cheap too 👍🏽

@@carpinterest ah OK cheers, I'll look into that!! Did they want proof you had drone insurance for your session?

@@MrCarpking71 yes mate

We struggle to catch in the summer mate never mind the winter! 👀😂

@@carpinterest yes I’ve struggled this winter. I blanked a few time tho.

@@Carlmasters89 yeah mate we know the feeling. Just nice to get out there though isn’t it 🤙🏼

@@carpinterest yes mate . If definitely are right there . Bing on the fishin lads . Hope there’s some good videos from you both the year

Second person to recommend mate they must be good! They are on the list 🤙🏼

Cheers Carl we appreciate it you legend 🤙🏼

Sounds good that mate. It’s on the list 💪🏼

We don’t tend to fish that locally tbh mate! Any recommendations near Birmingham?

Legend! Will try them on the next session! 🐟

Cheers mate! Appreciate it. I use Sony A7iii 🤙🏼

Yeah good advice mate would definitely go towards this tactic if we fished it again. And I will remind Liam next time he puts them in the water 🤙🏼😅

Cheers mate! Hoping to get amongst some at the Mere! 🐟🐟

We don’t always put everything on camera but we always lead about when finding a spot. We use the marker float when we are zig fishing to find the depths. We only ever use a normal lead when trying to find a solid spot. Sometimes might use a grappling lead if we aren’t sure.

@@carpinterest fair enough. But like I said, I can’t understand why the marker float has gone out of fashion. You went to a lake you had never been before. You’re implying that you had a lead about off camera. Really? It was obvious you were way out of your depth. Trust me when I say this, Hunts can be very tricky, even at the best of times. You say that you use a marker rod to find out the depths for zigs. But you can use your marker for finding out how high up in the water a weed bed is. You can cast out a bare lead and get a decent donk, even when casting into weed. You can get low lying weed that you can present a chod over, but how do how high up in the water that low lying weed is, without a marker float? The best way to get a good reading of what’s in front of you is have a plumb about with your marker; and then, once you’ve found something that feels decent, use your marker float as a reference point and cast out a bear lead around to get a better sense of what you’re fishing over. I’m not saying thrash the water to a foam, but at least get a better sense of the substrate and weed depth in front of you, especially on a lake, or swim you’ve never fished on before.

Come on . Why the hate

@@Carlmasters89 I’m not hating anyone. I’m old and it hurts when I piss. So, I say things in a matter of fact way. In winter and in early spring, do not go to Linear without maggots. A low lying pop up, or wafter tipped with four to six maggots. You don’t have to gallons of maggots. 2 pints maximum for a 48 hr, or even a 72 hr sesh. Other methods, the snowman rig on a simple hair, and with a paste wrap. And when you visit a lake you’ve never fished before, do a recce and have a plumb about and find out what’s out there. If you can’t do a recce, have a plumb about at the start of the session with a marker and a bear lead and find what the substrate is. You might be fishing over black silt for all you know, which carp avoid like the plague. B1 and B2 make average anglers look good, even in the winter. But on Hunts Corner, where the fish don’t move about as much, that’s when average anglers get found out. It’s not hate. It’s just telling it like it is.

You don’t always need a market float - linear has most of the depth maps for their lakes. A quick lead about can do the job. Great video boys, I was in the same swim (9) early in the year and recently. A pretty good swim, but the weather has been all over the place, a few days either side and I’m sure you would have caught!

It’s been blobbed down onto a bait stop. However we are just bang average carpers mate. What tactics would you have opted for?

As I have already said different angler's 🙄

Legend 👍🏽

Yeah it’s great kit mate we love using it. You prefer the Ronnie rig I’m guessing? 💪🏼

@@carpinterest yeah I use most of the Gemini range including the ronnies, can’t fault them.

I've had too many hook pulls with Turbo Germans due to the lack of flexibility at the hook. I now use a slip-d combi and not lost 1 yet.

Geezer 👍🏽

Liam did try a zig for a day but nothing came of it. We agree though zigs are a great tactic.

Great feeling isn’t it mate 😀
