Simon, first well done on the captures. Ive been watching a few of your videos and noticed even when close in your tips are high and line tight to the lead. Is this your way of keeping the line away from the moving fish? I saw a clip when you fished a very small water the tips were the same. Can you tell me your thinking behind high rod tips this please? Again vey well one mate.
Thanks mate. It all depends on the venue I'm fishing. I like to keep as much line out of the water as I can where there are obstructions in the margins. This particular lake is quite shallow with lots of weed close in, so I want my lines away from it as it restricts indication.
I'm trying to work out what's to dislike about your video (thumbs down above)... stunning old carp and good info...well presented. .look forward to seeing the next
Nice work Mr Crow! It's these old mysterious lakes that really capture the imagination! Chunk of a common an all!

Hi Simon, just curious, why did they move it from the other venue? I hope it was for the best.
I don't know mate, other than the bloke who moved it is a bit of a dim wit
Okay agreed on that :). Anyway, it's a very nice fish. Cheers
