Absolutely love these under water diving videos. Always learn something new keep em coming 👊🏼
Thanks Dan
@@RobHughesTV what's a good attractant for yellowcarp??
I absolutely love this series.
You sir are a fountain of knowledge
thanks for the kind comments Mike
That was some of the best cinematography and editing I’ve seen in a TH-cam video in a long time. Professional nat geo documentary quality.
Got to be the best informative Carp video I've ever watched.
thanks James
Awesome video Rob, great info! Keep up the good work. Love it! 👍🏻
Excellent presentation skills, I could listen all day.
Great watch guys really informative 🎣🐟👊
Thanks darwin
...great! Thanks to Rob´s great Underwater footage and his great explanations...👌
Really enjoyed this guys. Very much and educational vid. But not just the usual how to. More like a where and why video. Excellent.
thanks Gary
As usual, great underwater footage Rob ! thank you very much.
cheers martin glad you liked it
Brilliant insight and it goes to show how much bait actually spreads. I am surprised that’s the first lead Rob has seen considering the amount we drop as anglers. Great watch guys
Really weird with the leads. Actually found three on that dive but I've never found one before. I think they sink a lot of the time.
fantastic insight to the fishes world
sight sound !! smell 👍,keep it coming invaluable info
Flawless underwater footage giving a detailed perspective we can all take knowledge from ...
Absolute game changer to add that extra slight % in the anglers favour .
Bless ya for taking the time effort to make and share the information ..
Steve M
thank you steve glad you enjoyed
This is a great video Rob, it’s good to see how the rigs and bait look on the lake bed, can’t wait to see your next video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thanks Steve, we are currently editing the next one. more to come after that too :)
Thanks Steve. Plenty more coming
@DynamiteBaitsTV @Rod Hughes TV cant wait!
that was spot on it really opens your eyes up
thanks for the kind comment Mark 👍
Absolutely fantastic so nice to see something that isn't the same recicaled information.we can always learn from others anglers but this is farm fresh , every time I watch one of your underwater video's l learn something new so keep it up Rob it's putting fish on my bank. I've got a question for you Rob I tend to fish Zig's slot and l would like to know what affect undertow has on my zig sometimes I will fish upwind of my bait to combat the tow but it's all guess work I would love to know what you find and I'm sure others anglers will . Keep up the good work Rob great stuff.Regard Frank hudspeth.
This is a great video, Hughes is badass.
thanks Zaki :)
Again ... brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Thanks Sean
Fascinating, thank you...
Great Video 👏👌🏻👍
Great insight
Very good!
Sufix line is just superb; I’ve been using Duraflex for the last year and it’s amazing stuff - extremely low memory, very fine diameter, near invisible in the water and super strong. I got into a snag and had to “straight” pull for a “break” - I still can’t believe how much pressure I exerted before it pulled free and all intact. I used Sufix line for my sea fishing years ago and now I’m converted to it for my carping - it’s excellent !
Great film, this is my local venue, love it there.
Thanks Kevin hopefully you took some of the findings on board for next time you visit 👍🏻
@@DynamiteBaitsTV I have, I use solid bags quite a bit and would be an idiot to ignore any information that will help my fishing.
Great info gents!
I'm interested in winter fish habits, dive on the fish, where are they? Why are they there? How are they behaving? Are they all in the same location? How tightly grouped are they? And how long do they remain in an area before moving out to feed or find a more suitable area to hold up??
Keep up the good work fellas I'm looking forward to the next instalment.
Brilliant to see as fish a weedy water myself and liking the look of that sufix mainline as well. Looking forward to the next one now 👌
thanks Dan glad you liked it
Thanks Dan. I was really impressed with the line too. First time I'd sen it.... or not as the case may be. I've now spooled up with it too.
@@RobHughesTV can't remember you saying on the video is the line a fluorocarbon?
@@danielhughes4415 no its a mono. There is fluro available as well . but this was the mono
Good job ,thank u for tutorial👍
I have always worried about overfeeding but may will try a little more now! Great vid learnt a lot
thanks Phil
Very nice and educational video. I have a suggestion that you can try under water. I use the stick bait as well and what I do is, coat the pellets with the oil in a bowl with a lid, then while it's still wet, add some floattract
Excellent
keepum coming great vids
Thank you
very enlightening
great watch guys! :)
thanks Martyn
Very good content mate I love this videos and how you go through it, what I was always worried about was if I used to much liquid in my stick mixes or pva bags mixes then it would break down it would just all be stuck together once the pva had melted. I will 100% carry on using it now
Watched love the information provided my question is what rig presentation would you use on a lake with lots of soft silt some weeds but more really soft silt ? Cheers Paul.
Hi! Congrats for this video! Realy realy helpfull! I've changed my mind over the pva solids usage. I have a question: would you come back to Varlaam Lake next year? It would be nice to see some underwater footage from there.
Thank you! Keep up the good work!👍
Hello,🤩 I am a freshwater fishing TH-camr in Korea. Thank you for the ㄱ video. Thank you for the good video.👍🏻
Brilliant! Really informative and very well presented. I’d love to see how a bait boat load of bait looks on the lake bed. Obviously depth would play a part but after this, I’m thinking it’s not how I’d imagine it to be!
Yes would like to see that too! especially how far the hookbait gets separated from the free offerings at various depths. And if it matters when you drop the rig on a slack vs a tight line..
Would love to see this also 👍
@@guusnijhuis4420 I'll put it on the list
@@RobHughesTV Thanks!
Great underwater vid 👌🏼even better to see one on a local water that i have graced the banks of .👍🏻
thanks, its a great fishery
Lovely place and stunning fish too
@@RobHughesTV 👌🏼100% some absolute gems for sure 👍🏻 the water clarity and depth gives the carp great colours. The common in my pic is one of the 2 tone warriors that resides .
Can’t wait for the next vid for more insight 🤞🏼. Keep up the good work guys
Explained how it should be👌👏👍
This was an eye opener on whats going on he even mentioned sounds which I have been thinking about more and more its the match guys feeding pellets the fish hear them going in, I was fishing sticks but also pining in a few pellets over one rod and it out fished the other rod so definitely worth the effort
Great content Rob. Thank you. I’m interested in the thermocline and water temps at different levels. Also where there are steep drop offs how this effects the water temp. What is the ideal part to fish in based on temperature etc ?
Great question. Depends on the time of year and water depth but I'll look into this in a future film
I'm a diving instructor, now carp angler and it's a great question. For example, is there a particular temp or pressure that means you're wasting your time on the deck. I'm not sure this video or even my post answers it. Clearly when you dive in the med in summer, there's a big drop at around 11 or 13 metres that you feel a xhange in temp and defo affects what fish you see..
In carp lakes: one website said "the further you go into summer, the more the thermocline matters,” Dreves said. “It varies from year to year how long it takes for it to set up.”
Anglers want to target the area just above the thermocline for the best summer fishing. “You have that happy medium of the coolest water with good dissolved oxygen,” Dreves said. “You might find baitfish at that level as well. That zone will be the active part of the food chain."
The fertility of the lake determines the location of the thermocline. Water clarity is a good indicator of fertility; murky lakes contain more nutrients in the water than lakes where you can see the bottom in 12 feet of water.
On a highly fertile lake such as Taylorsville, the thermocline starts at about 8 feet deep in mid-summer and ends at roughly 12 feet. Bass anglers fishing a heavy jig 18 feet deep on a channel drop are wasting their time, the same as anglers dunking cut bait for channel cats at that depth. There is no dissolved oxygen that deep.
Anglers need to pound that water from 6 to 10 feet deep or so in the summer heat on Taylorsville for bass, crappie, catfish and even bluegill.
“On a clear, low fertility lake like Laurel River Lake or Lake Cumberland, the thermocline may start at 30 feet deep,” Dreves said. “On these lakes, there can be good dissolved oxygen below the thermocline. They have a two story fishery where cool water fish such as walleye or striped bass locate below the thermocline in summer.”
On mid-depth, moderately fertile lakes such as Nolin River Lake, Barren River Lake, Green River Lake or Rough River Lake, the thermocline usually starts around 11 to 12 feet deep in summer with little dissolved oxygen below 16 feet.
“Find banks, channel drops or humps at that depth and fish them,” Dreves said. “I always remind myself to fish the right depth in summer.”
So for me that says when air and temp is high, fish in upper layers say on zigs, Which would make sense as hot uk summers drive fish to the surface however they clearly feed on the bottom in depths exceeding that in the same time. So where do you go?
I'm an angler who loves a 30wrap baited spot but thinking again, I wonder if I might hook more fish on zigs
Look how the lead stands out amongst the pellets I've been using the coconut cream ground bait method style and that works well also bags or mesh with krill glm and halibut pellets aswell
👍👍
Nice video
The clouds behind u look amazing like I am gob smacked
these videos are great
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thanks mate
very interesting
super content.
Be interesting to see how bait looks as it comes down from a baitboat how tight is the baiting and how the rigs lands.
Would love to work for a company like this! Great video
thanks for the compliments Liam. check out the job opportunities page on our website www.dynamitebaits.com 👍
I'm a diver as well.but we are not allowed to dive our local carp lake.Ive been in some bigger lakes and swum with Pike and perch.very interesting to swim with them in their environment
I always tend to soak my pellets and ground bait in oil instead of injecting straight into my bags. Does this effect the release? Also I put water soluble liquid into the mix, to try and form multiple levels of attraction. I would like to see a mix of different liquids, either together or on their own when mixed with the pellet.
Great video by the way!
Tanks Nathan. Yes soaking the pellets will slow th release down, but in cold water it may not release at all. Will defo have a look at a mix of liquids.
Great work. I will use bags anywhere i can, unfortunatly the venue im on at the moment only has 30ish carp.......and probably 10 times as many bream so bags are a no go really.
Tricks
Great footage and a great insight on the spread of the bait
Notice you say you've been diving 20 years have you not considered a rebreather as it would allow you to sneak up on feeding fish and not spook them by noise and bubbles
Yes mate. I’d quite like one but they come up to me a lot of the time anyway.
Really interesting video, guys. It always frustrated me that the Korda Underwater DVDs never involved bags. I'd like to see how rigs look cast into weed i.e. hing stiffs, chods, using helicopter set up with bead pushed right up and foam nugget on rig, etc
Weed's different so it depends on the weed. Also it's a bit tricky to film rigs in weed as you can't see them. We have got a weed special coming up though.
@@RobHughesTV ok, thanks. I guess I was hoping you could try a few presentations over weed and then swim above it and compare. Thanks for replying though
Brilliant video very immersive and educational, also videos like this give me a welcome break from the nightmare of face mask BS everywhere and the soon to be mandatory VC's coming our way over the next few years!
Great footage as always but am I the only one who could see about 5 other leads on the lake bed when you found the one next to his rig?
Who would have thought that a video sponsored by Dynamite baits would end with the advice : "More bait".
Very informative NBTV. The idea that carp may avoid the cherry on the cake makes sense to me so i may try to take advantage of that but, in competition with others or just plain hungry.. they do trip up from time to time. Steve's left hand rod look like it was over a bed of crushed shells? . What i'd like to know is "Bubbles" what fish makes what bubbles....natural v fish and different species. I know im asking alot but god damn i'd like to know. Ta
Please if we can confirm what makes the bubbles as sometimes it can improve the fishing and other times be the kiss of death so frustrating as a match angler.
Great video, what line were you using?
They were using the Sufix Advance superline 👍🏻
I often soak dog mixers and mix with my method mix. AS we know they're buoyant and helps break the method down, as the bits break off and float to the surface
Why is there a random clip of rob lifting up a carp at 24:57
G. Hang by. Dcvcxcc he noz. Z xx Da. Am
This is my local venue and I’m still looking for my first 20lb’er from here!
Greenhills is one of the harder lakes at the venue and is one I am going to try and fish next weekend!! If you don’t mind me asking, what peg were you on and what are the green pellets that you used? Need to get my hands on some of them!
Great footage and it certainly something I’m going to incorporate on my next trip there 👍🏼
Hi Connor glad you enjoyed the vid. the green pellets are swimstim betaine green pellets. ;)
@@DynamiteBaitsTV Great stuff thank you, ordering some as we speak! 🤩
Are you allowed to tell us what peg were you on?
@@connorbush6322 youre welcome Connor. as for the peg. We will ask the boys but they might not remember.
Boilie; Hair Rig; PVA; Spomb; Deeper :)
Feeder fishing on rivers please
Thanks Lee rivers have been discussed for future episodes
@@DynamiteBaitsTV Love to have a go at that. I had a plan for this year but the clarity stuffed us. Next year for sure.
Please do Tips on float fishing👍🏼
What do you want to see?
good video been using pva bags for years and is my go to method would have been nice to see the effects with a looser bag to see the spread of bait but much better than the Korda vids with their constant punting of their products.
Thanks Jason glad you liked it
Here is a quick question Rob, PVA bags in sea water which do you think would be best to hold long enough to get to the sea bed and still hold some smelly oil or additives I know we have cart using a finger bandage is fine but I would also like to see how the PVA bags do maybe to distract the evil little fish and crabs, but also to attract the big fish that are patrolling the beach, also using a three hook flapper rig I could use 2 PVA bags and a cart sausage on the bottom, what do you think, I don't know how much sea diving you do but this could be a brilliant extra channel for the baits company to explore. Hope to hear from you soon.
Love these videos, Rob really needs to start wearing sun cream though, every video he's redder than a boiled lobster.
id love to know what lake they fish towards the end
Can you do heli and lead set up, I just want to see what presents better
What sorts of oils would you add? Olive?
Loads of bait mate!
I’m sorry I guess I should go back and check out your other videos because I have no clue what a PVA thingy is,, it’s a bag, that decomposes? Just a like chum bag?
And one other question, carp don’t like structure? I’m a background of fishing in the states and carp are not even considered by fishermen.. I’ve hooked a few and I love their fight and spirit! I’m watching these to maybe up my game . Maybe get carp fishing more popular over here.
Nice 😊👍😊👍😊👍👍👍😊😊☺️😊👍😊👍😊 I'm Waseem from Pakistan
I've recently started fishing for carp. I make the pack bait only caught 1 huge one about 20 pounds. DO YOU HAVE ANY POINTERS
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
His face is really burnt, good video explains clear enough and gives advice in a indirect way without sounding like a smug know it all although I'm sure he knows more than average bear and would give Fairbrass a run for his money
Hi i am aneesh iam indian (kerala)Can you please tell me about muddy water carp fishing please please
what happens if we don't put the lead in the pva bag? it's wrong or it's ok?
what was the name of that water you were at, sure iv piked fished it years ago
bishops bowl fishery
24:01 another lead? above and to the right of the 2 sweetcorn?
It's mind boggling how carps reputation differs so much between uk and usa. Don't you have bass out there?
I also think the first bait company that come up with a big firm bait for different sea fish with a way of using PVA bags will smash the market, hope it will be a British company. Big Carp, Big Cod sounds about right maybe some day would love to be able to get away from the finger bandage's and systems like them, would prefer some thing that dissolves if the fish eat it and then break off.
What was the main line that was used?
Found it....Sufix Advance superline
テントいいな
Aren't they the ones that jumped in your boat?
Plz add subtitles...
Please ❤️
Can fish see colour 😬😬😬👍
Traduced end România?
I'm not entirely convinced that the phrase 'carp love oil' is true. I definitely wouldn't argue against them being able to get calorific benefit from oil content within food items and enjoying that but I'm yet to see any evidence that they can detect oil in any substantial fashion. I'd buy that the oil can potentially act as a carrier for tiny food particles if it's low enough in viscosity to separate from the food items but as an actual attractant on its own merits I don't think it does anything.
Anyone else thinking that rob puts his underwater gear on to set his rods out
I already take far too much kit lol
River fishing ?
this is something we have been discussing for next year possibly ;)
On it!
DynamiteBaitsTV love it x
Rob Hughes TV top man!
That water must be freezing as your face is so red. Miss my diving SSI 32234 advanced and ANDI diver. May be an up date my kit and come along with you ha ha .
Fuck me that's a tan lad
Have you ever seen a mermaid?
😂 we will let Rob answer that one
Only when I look in the mirror lol
Good technique, but have you tested all your techniques outside your country, I invite you to India to test your angling techniques
“Worst” please share this vid
Interesting seeing things underwater but a quick bite in 5mins lol.that depends MASSIVELY on what kind of water you are fishing on,hard venues do not do quick bites runs waters yes maybe but rob let's not shit people with this,pva is excellent stuff though 👍
thanks for the comments Dave. i think what rob was getting at was that if you present it well its more easy for the carp to find, increasing your bite chances. :)
@@DynamiteBaitsTV yes defo 👍
Where are we going i wonder?
Drones , electronic gear etc, now just a robotic machine that puts our hook into the fish.
Keep some charm imh..
