Might not have caught the big ones but being out on the bank enjoying yourself is what its all about, great video by the way. Will be hoping to get on here next year
hey tom, loving the videos, your editing skills are truly shown on these past couple of vids! keep up the amazing work!!!!! ive recently lost my grandma. along with yourself, carl and cals channels (aswell as fishing myself) its definitly helping me through the tough time. Thankyou. once again keep up that amazing angling/editing. you'll get your confidence and smash it!!!
Hey Tomz, thanks for lovely words :-) So sorry to hear about your Grandma, loss of any kind is difficult, but never more so than family. Time heals, and fishing certainly does help!!! Sending my love mate, keep getting out there and good luck with your own fishing adventures 😁
@@tomwilshaw thankyou tom. she had a good stint, 87 years young bless her. passed away peacefully with no pain. Fishing really is good therapy. thankyou for the luck i need all i can get at the moment. just got into carp fishing. no carp yet but im waiting for that first 20lb + to get into my net (had a 15lber match fishing)

Cracking vid! Love the use of Sam and Dave when Carl got his fish. I actually fish with one of their grandsons here in the states so I always get a laugh when I hear their music.
Hi, great video, I really enjoy watching English fishing videos from you guys. You guys have a great style and are the birthplace of carp fishing. I collected Martin Bowler's fishing DVDs back in the day. And you guys are doing a great job, best regards from Germany. Come and visit us sometime, there are big carp here.
Thanks so much!!!! I'll almost certainly visit Germany in the future, I spent some time around the Black Forest when I was young and remember it fondly - would love to come back with a fishing rod in hand!!
Class video always from a real world has it happens session by 2 passionate anglers but I always shout at you for jumping in boat to early, surely better just put pressure on fish until away from marginal snags then going after it in boat.looking forward to your next adventure
Haha I know what you’re saying… The video is cut down a bit so time appears to move faster than it did on the day, but hey perhaps staying on land would have been the answer! Goodness knows I’d do it completely different knowing what I do now..
Hi maybe you have some advice for me? I had an accident last November, I broke my back and now im in a wheelchair paralysed from the waste down. I've always been a keen fisherman and tried it all, from fly to pike, i was getting into bfs fishing using a baitcaster rod and reel. I've never fished for carp, I'm in Scotland so course fishings not as popular here. I'd love to plan a barge holiday. Do you know if this is even possible? See where your fishing now? I could definitely get to that type of venue in my wheelchair. Most our fisheries are rainbow trout bashing places and I find the boring plus you need to keep what you catch and no one wants a tasteless fish. I'd love some idea's? If you got any I'd be grateful. What a brilliant video you just made mate.
Hey there, so sorry to hear about your accident but absolute RESPECT for keeping the fishing passion going! If I were in your shoes, I think venues like this would be quite ideal, ones with good road access, maybe even carp venues with cabins that you can sleep in to remove the stress of having to put up a bivvy/bedchair - I'm not super familiar with what's available in Scotland, but the swimbooker app is great, it has a specific option for wheelchair access, I'd probably start there and see what's available. Regarding a barge holiday, that sounds amazing, I'd love to do something similar to be honest! I don't know too much about them, but I know canals can be hit and miss when it comes to fishing. I'd probably look to the Norfolk Broads, lots of boats for hire, and whilst it's certainly not easy fishing, I have seen more fish coming out of there than your average canal - Hope that helps a little and good luck mate!
I fish Broom Fisheries quite often and the majority of their lakes are very accessible. I regularly catch carp and the staff are excellent not to mention the constant bites from a roach to a carp to a chub. Highly recommend.
Hi ya. Im a quadriplegic of 26 years now and i carp/pike and perch fish regular as i can. Carp with a 13m pole and carp rods so if im c6 you should be good to go mate. As for barge holidays i went on one years ago on the norfolk broads was a great week fishing. Anything you want or can put ya mind to my man you can 🤙
sick vid bro ! the joke saying ur not tom stokes was funny my dad my uncle and my uncles friend used to fish with him at himley before he moved to the other lake and caught the biggen 😂😂
I never knew you had your own channel tom 👏🏼👏🏼i watch a lot of carl and alex and have seen you in some of the vids..you seem like a cool dude ..youve a new follower🤝🏻🤝🏻
I've had the privilege of having a place to fish that doesn't normally allow fishing a few times. It's a really exciting experience, and my favourite part is that you're doing it on your terms, every fish is entirely down to your own ability, and none of the fish have names or any of that stuff. It's absolutely class! Great film bud, as always.
It's an amazing experience right? Felt very lucky to be in that situation for this vid, proper sense of discovery and working it all out... I want to focus on doing some river carping next year, that's another place that has that feeling :)
sorry if you have been asked this before, but what bivy/shelter are you using? Am from the US and that style is not popular here (atleast from my experience, but looks interesting. Closest thing I have seen is at beach resorts in California, the hotels have similarly set up almost oversized umbrellas for rent on the beach. Regards
It’s commonly known over here as a ‘brolly’ type shelter :) this one specifically is made by a company called Aqua, and the model is a ‘Fast & Light’ - So easy to throw up and down, far better than a tent!
Thanks :) It’s an even more effective version of backleads, for the right situation of course. In a perfectly clean and flat lake, backleads are great at concealing line to the bottom, but if there’s weed and depth changes, there can still be line for the carp to bump into - Washing line essentially lets you slack line from the far side
I usually dont comment on stuff, and you seem like a nice guy. However - there was a few instances of dangerous angling in this vid in my opinion. Sacrificing loosing rigs line snapping etc all to get a bite is not proper carp angling. You need to fish safely. If you dont think you can land a fish from a particular spot dont fish there. You even said it yourself during the vid! Theres now a fish trailing line in that lake, and where you nearly hooked one on the surface in the back of the reeds would have gone the same! Sorry if that upsets you but thats my opinion.
Not upset at all! I really appreciate your comment :) I'm still learning, and fish safety matters more than anything so I'll certainly take what you've said onboard. I felt okay in the moment to fish as I did as the boat was there, I was using 20lb line, and I've had success in similar situations (with really bad weed for example). That said, I was gutted to lose the fish not only for the film, but knowing there's now a live rig in the lake. Thankfully it's barbless and the carp will have been able to get rid of it, but still not a great feeling to leave with.
The only bad bit of angling that I can see (just my opinion) is the whole washing line tactics situation, but other than that I don’t think anything else was down to Tom’s angling atall, he had a run, fish got snagged, he used a boat and tried his best to land it, keep up the good work Tom ❤
Hiya Deek so sorry too here of your accident buddy, it's absolutely fantastic that you want too keep up with your fishing their must be many places that can accommodate you in a swim with suitable access, like many others I would suggest the Norfolk Broads for a combined fishing and boating Holiday tight lines with your fishing buddy and go for them Carp mate👌👍
Wow, great adventure. And such nice filming en editing. The place looks realy beatyfull. The big carp wil come next time! Keep on going on adventures like this 😍
It was SUCH a lovely place to spend some time! I really enjoyed it, and I do hope to go back at some point, as well as plenty other new places to have adventures 😁 thanks for the kind words!
Tom another top class video your videography, editing and narration/ presentation is fantastic. Those Commons are stunning. On your next visit you’ll get one of the original big’uns.
Epic stuff Tom, with the quality of your editing you seem to capture everything that fishing is about! My god I wish I had that sort of filming/editing skill. I havnt seen better fishing content yet online, apart from the other channel you edit for 😂 if you ever want some free labour 😎
Hahaha, thanks man 😁 way too kind. I’m still learning a lot, trying to gauge what people enjoy and what they want to watch vs making things ‘my way’, but it’s so cool to be able to look back on these and re-live the adventures. Cheers I’ll keep that in mind haha!
Not an odd question at all! I was using an Aqua Fast & Light in this video :) I also have a trakker tempest I sometimes use for longer sessions, that offers a bit more protection than the brolly, but I love being in the brolly whenever I can!
Hi Tom I would like to say that I have been enjoying your videos for the past few months and would say that the quality is only going up. 🎉 I am wondering if there is any like specific brands or rods that are cheapies but good since I have just been on a trip to a hard fishing lake and blanked but I think that some is luck and the other is equipment since I have a few of my dads reallllllllly old rods! Thanks for entertaining me for the last few months and keep up the good work ❤
That means the world, I’m glad they’re being enjoyed 😁 regarding rods, it’s always a balance of finding good quality for good value - I’ve only bought second hand rods as you obviously get a bit more for your money! My suggestion would be look to pick up some second hand Daiwa Crosscasts, Daiwa Longbows or maybe Kaizen Greens if you can find them - All quality rods that if looked after will last and last :)
Isn't this where Carl fished in his last video ? Which, as it turned out, has been fished before him, so not really an untouched, unfished lake/pond. Carl even fished the washing line. I wonder how many other youtube fishermen will be the first to fish this place... ?
All the gear, no Idea this one!> An untouched lake and you didn't empty it?? I mean, you should have been catching 6 fish a day. This is the problem with modern fishman, they don't learn the basics over the course of there childhood and early teens, thus making them a complete all round angler by there mid 20's. They just want to start by carp fishing or targeting specimen fish straight away. You will never be a good fisherman doing that. You might learn how to catch fish from one particular water but you will not know how to turn up at any venue and be able to read a water and get the most out of your fishing. Dial it back a bit a learn how to fish effectively first. Understand the feeding habits and how to promote real feeding opportunities in your swim etc etc. You clearly have a lot to learn and its not about me trying to little bro you, its fact. Its the blind leading the blind when people take advice from poor anglers like this... Of course you had Alex on here, who is a top fisherman, and look what he did..
I don’t claim to be anything special mate :) that’s kinda the whole point of my channel. Things didn’t go so great for me in this one, but thankfully Carl* came and helped me out.
Maybe instead of tearing folks down why don't you give some advice and encouragement 🤦 The problem with "modern fishman" is they can't get their head around people learning a new hobby in their 20s and failing as part of that process of learning. Not trying to be a dick, but maybe try being constructive with your criticism and people might learn something new instead of just feeling discouraged and demotivated 🙂
Another great vid, and a deserved venture! Swim bookers gain! Then imagine calling your pal for help…and it’s Carl!! 👏 😂
Haha, well someone needed to come and catch some fish 😇 thanks Steve!
Your videos are always fantastic, Tom. I can only dream of making videos like you do. Just brilliant 👏
ah you're way too kind, thank you 😁

High praise :) thanks Andrew, I need to go back and watch some of those, get some inspiration!
Cracking vid! Love the use of Sam and Dave when Carl got his fish. I actually fish with one of their grandsons here in the states so I always get a laugh when I hear their music.
No way!!! I've always loved that track, was so happy to finally be able to use it 😁 Thanks for the kind words!!!!!!
Great video Tom. Your editing is top notch and just makes watching a pleasure.

I don’t claim to be anything special mate :) that’s kinda the whole point of my channel. Things didn’t go so great for me in this one, but thankfully Carl* came and helped me out.
Maybe instead of tearing folks down why don't you give some advice and encouragement 🤦
The problem with "modern fishman" is they can't get their head around people learning a new hobby in their 20s and failing as part of that process of learning.
Not trying to be a dick, but maybe try being constructive with your criticism and people might learn something new instead of just feeling discouraged and demotivated 🙂
