I’m kind of a newbie to fishing and there’s a lil carp spot near me so I wanted to learn how to catch them, this video really helped me and I caught my first carp!
You will only want to fish for Carp now. Once you catch a few 15 - 20 pounders, all other small freshwater fish will seem like a waste of time. I just got a 14 pounder in Ohio yesterday plus 5 others right from shore at a local public park.
AnotherAnglingMan UK it’s how agressive they are. That’s what I love about perch. There everywhere and super agressive yet still give a bit of a challenge
Plain wheaties crunched up and add little water , makes a hard packed ball and carp here in the USA love it . Also we cover the hook here because the fish can feel the hook if it’s exposed
Loved the video! Straight forward explanation and easy to understand tactic. I've been trying to learn how to catch carp on boilies/zigs/solid PVA bags, but I always keep one rod reserved for sweet corn! I agree, it's tried and tested for sure. Thanks - Joe
@@fishwithcarl I agree (re: corn), but I'm def not giving up teaching myself how to use UK-Style tactics/bait/and gear. In fact, I literally just received a 6ft. 2lb t/c Nash cork- handle Sawn-off for stalking etc... After watching so many UK anglers (Alan Blair among others) have tons of success with Sawn-offs I decided to bite the bullet and add to my Carp gear addiction!!! I know - I'm crazy!!! The problem I have is the lack of professional carp anglers (familiar with UK tactics etc..) located in the US who can offer tips/advice on how to best use this gear/rigs/ etc... No worries, after catching a nice size dark Common (a PB and my first Winter Carp) recently (on my own, using a single Nash Squid hook-bait) I'm building the confidence slowly but surely, that i can learn. Patience is the key!!!!
Make sure your hook is not to big but big enough to cach one I normaly use a 10 or 12 depending on the size of fish in the lake but if there is really big fish such as 25 30 pounders use a 6 or 8 hook
Thanks for sharing this video. I forgot how effective sweet corn is. I've been struggling to catch on a local lake using all sorts of boilies, watched this video, tried 3 pieces of corn on a hair and caught a perfect 27lb common this morning!
Hey Alex, so happy when I get a post from Carl and Alex Fishing on Friday mornings (I usually watch on Saturday mornings)! I want to start a campaign to get you guys to 100K subs, you guys are so underrated, you have excellent content, killer background tunes and serious charisma. Thanks for the vid. Cheers!
I noticed carp fishing that when I put corn on the hair they would eat the corn and not hook. But when I put kernels on the hook I started hooking then super easy😆
love your videos, just recently started watching, im new to carp fishing and your vids and knowledge have helped me get sorted, i caught a 13lbs common from a day ticket lake near me, followed by a 6lbs mirra , all thanks to your advice on bait , rigs, casting and general stealth approach, keep up the good work, you are both a credit to your family and brilliant at what you do.
Hi that was a beautiful fish from a nice small lake. It just goes to show carping can be as simple as you want. Maybe not for the really big fish on pressured waters but for normal fishing it’s great. Regards Bill
I'm no way as good at fishing as you guys, but I have found tinned corn works far better than fresh corn. Have I been lucky so far? Great video as always.
i live on a river with a canal on each side and in both bodies of water the carp get huge and you can regularly see them feeding up on the bank. ive always wanted to fish for them now there's no excuse. great video and music
Just shows everyone you don’t need fancy boilies and £11 a kg to catch carp and have a good time on the bank, perfect vid to show everyone who feels priced out of this carp market that the basics still work👍🏻👍🏻
i've been there too, entering the supermarket going straight for the sweetcorn and getting over 20 cans... people look at me like i have a fetish with sweetcorn of some kind...
Hey Guys thank you so much for making this video im only 11 and you know that means that i do not make so much money so thanks for showing me that i dont need to spend 10000000 $ for 2 pound boiles
Perfect video , lots of great informations , especially reading the bag of corn 😂. I thought because of the rain , you were going to just stick the fishing rod out the window of the van and fish from inside the van 😁
Maul berry’s are also very good carp bait around where I live because they fall off trees and carp eat them off the surface, they float similar to the corn
I've explained why I'll buy like ten cans of corn at one time to the cashier's before. One of them goes fishing with her husband all the time so she always has pictures of fish to show me. Unfortunately the water is so hot and it's almost 100 degrees F outside right now so the carp are staying out deep even at night. In another month they will be back shallow again. When you fish 15,000 acre lake from shore sometimes the fish just aren't there.
So not to stroke myself but I have a pond where I catch about 15 carp a day...every day lol this being said do I just have a honey hole or are they just easier to catch in the US
We did this in vacation in October with my dad. It was raining a whole lot, but we could park the car in front of our spot so we could watch our floats. We caught a few roaches, and a beautiful 4 pound common. Was fun. Caught everything with corn too
Thanks for making a nice, informative video about baiting and fishing sweet corn. This past summer I did a lot of freelining with sweet corn on the hook because of frequent thunderstorms, and I caught a lot of carp and had a lot of fun doing so! So much so, that even when I'm Euro carping, I still take along a freelining or float rod to fish while I'm waiting for a bite on the Euro rods. Sometimes the Euro rods remain untouched, while the freelined (or float) rods produce. Long live sweet corn!
Corn has always been my bait of choice. The best thing about it is you can keep a few cans of corn in your car and they never go bad so no need to buy bait when you randomly feel like fishing. A entire can can last you a whole day as long as you don’t bait the water to much too. 50 cents for a whole day of fishing isn’t to bad
Corn always reminds me of breaking my ankle.Did it whilst pre baiting a pond id found with carp in,at the back of an unbuilt industrial estate. Got pinned and plated for my trouble and haven't been back to try for em since. Think I owe myself banking one from there.
For me I don’t even I don’t even throw any bait in I just put a few weights on the line a float and one piece of corn on the hook and I catch fish :) yesterday I did that on my pole , threw it out as far as I could and got a fish every few seconds , I even caught abt 25 fish with no bait and only the hook ! That day I caught 61 fish !!!
It's also like that in a pond not far away from me. It's quite loaded with carp and a lot of people feed them bread so I think that's why. On all of the other places corn is the best bait I tried.
I tend not to use sweetcorn as much anywhere now as it attracts bream & most places I fish have bream in them, but if it hasnt got em in, definitely a good bait! Also what pond is it where this was?
Any recommendations on spin reels ? I want at least 300 yards of 30 lb test mono and would like a bait runner . Shimono baitrunner 6000 is the only one I’m finding but I see most carpers using big Daiwa gold and black reels , what are they .
It would work on a river too, providing there are good numbers of carp around! I'd also consider throwing the corn out up stream, as it will be carried along by the flow a bit. :)
Tom Winter Fishing, well, first you get the fish and bury it in the ground about 12 inches down. Then, above the carp you put in a dried corn seed kernel. In a few months, there will be a number of corn cobs attracted to the area.
Hey serious question. Came across your channel today, I have a lake behind my house in New Jersey and I was bass fishing today and discover a huge cove led into from a small stream. The water is maybe a foot or two absolute max. And I swear, I saw about 20 carp today feeding around calmly, some of them are huge and I need to catch these. Any tips for a beginner? Don’t have equipment like you in this video.
Andrew Knight Keep your tackle simple but strong, especially as these are wild carp and they fight like dogs! Bait the spots you want to fish and keep checking them to see if your bait is being eaten. If it is, keep the bait going in regularly and fish it when they are confident eating your bait. Good luck and let us know how you get on 🤘🏼
I wish you would have gone a lil more in depth on how to rig everything. I’m from the US and we don’t do a whole lot of Carp fishing here, but I’d like to give it a try!

Jim Svo nope i fish for anything that swims but carp and pike are definitely my fave
AnotherAnglingMan UK it’s how agressive they are. That’s what I love about perch. There everywhere and super agressive yet still give a bit of a challenge
Carp are my favorite to catch. Sometimes they are picky though. Bluegill and Perch are my second favorite. Good day of fishing either way 🤣
@@jimsvo4486 Ohio represent!
I used this rig yesterday and although I used a pellet, I caught a lovely little common. many thanks for the video😁
did you eat it to harness its power?
Where are you buy pellet?
@@alishanmotsayev3089 u can buy loads at most fishing shops for quite cheap
Thanks for the hair rig breakdown. Just getting in to carp fishing. Great video.
class mate, such an underrated bait, well done for showing the basics well, good luck this season
Thanks Danny!! Tight lines dude :)
Underrated? Many ppl in my country use it. It's basically a budget pellet :)
The method you use to catch fish in your country is addicting to watch. Your love for fishing makes the videos enjoyable as well.
Thanks Mike! :)
Maaan your vids are cool, not only the fishing itself but also they are very well edited without unnecessary footages. Keep it up.
Thank you!!! :) Glad you enjoyed!

I'm just starting to fish for Carp so this information is brilliant.Thanks a lot
I've never caught carp before but I'm going carp fishing soon cheers for the vid
Bang those pellets in make sure your gears strong enough, and fish a slightly bigger hook bait over the top you’ll get that carp 🎣👍🏻
Did you catch one
Make sure your hook is not to big but big enough to cach one I normaly use a 10 or 12 depending on the size of fish in the lake but if there is really big fish such as 25 30 pounders use a 6 or 8 hook
excellent once again Alex goes to show when you can, pre-bait more than one area looks pretty much you had the place to yourself.
Very cool video alex. Bit more of a back to basics which helps out all the newcomers. Well done

Thank you! Bill :) Fishing can be anything you make of it! :)
Carp are Smart they can see the Hook i usually put as much corn as i can on the Hook so its not visible to them
Thank you!
I'm no way as good at fishing as you guys, but I have found tinned corn works far better than fresh corn. Have I been lucky so far? Great video as always.
JP - I prefer canned corn to frozen corn. I prefer fresh white bread to corn.
@@AndrewFishman I prefer a flan
@@deltaskelta9346 fair enough, do flans catch many carp?

Congratulations on hitting 300K, well deserved
Cheers John!
Things I need to do this season: Stock up on Corn, Find massive Carp waters, Catch Monster Carp!
100%!!!!!!!!
Carl and Alex Fishing I have some places capable of 40+
It just shows you carp fishing does not have to be complicated sometimes we overcomplicate it nice carp great video cheers Alex 🎣👍
Too right!! :)
Legends in the game. Get on the corn
Thanks for watching!
Sweet corn is a very popular bait in the States. It catches trout, carp, yellow perch, catfish...just to name a few.
Mega bait!
How I fish for carp in the us is pack bait and corn
And bluegill
Just shows everyone you don’t need fancy boilies and £11 a kg to catch carp and have a good time on the bank, perfect vid to show everyone who feels priced out of this carp market that the basics still work👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Anthony! :)
i've been there too, entering the supermarket going straight for the sweetcorn and getting over 20 cans... people look at me like i have a fetish with sweetcorn of some kind...
hehhehee
Hahaha same
Beauty Carp, old School Fishing 👍🏼 best wishes from Germany.
Thanks!!!
Nice vid. I like the raw style of the footage and how you show all the action lovely times 👌
Cheers Simon!
I do something similar I do the same with just sweet corn then I tie on a treble hook with some split shot weights and some times a bobber
Hey Guys thank you so much for making this video im only 11 and you know that means that i do not make so much money so thanks for showing me that i dont need to spend 10000000 $ for 2 pound boiles

love ya video my fav vid is when u do carp fishing
1. Great to see some carp stuff!
2. Right corner... THAT'S true STUFF :)

Brilliant as always lads. Got lots canal water near me, with plenty of carp. Come along!! Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire.
Thanks Jonny! Maybe one day! ;)

hi I'm new to carp fishing could you show how to tie the rigs on the bank for each place if that makes sence
Top fishing mate... What reel are you using
Awesome bro..much love from NJ USA

Great vid, Do you prefer the curved shank hook or the wide gape. Just wondered which was the best for bottom baits.
Nice video, random question but what's the make of your green coat please?
Which line are you useing for the hairrigs? And very good video!
Carl and Alex how does rain affect carp? Do they come to the surface or go down to the bottom?
my favorite bait to use besides bread and worm or paste baits. the og bait corn. thought about doing a video on paste fishing ?
Excellent video for beginners like me, but the hook length what breaking strain is it?
I can’t remember exactly what strength I used this day, but probably 18lb or 24lb hooklink braid.
So not to stroke myself but I have a pond where I catch about 15 carp a day...every day lol this being said do I just have a honey hole or are they just easier to catch in the US
Easier in the US as they aren't fished as much
Rain makes it hard but your persistence payed off good show
Thanks! I was worried the rain would damage my cameras but luckily they still work!
My grandad told me how he'd sit in the car if it was raining but he'd watch his float
We did this in vacation in October with my dad. It was raining a whole lot, but we could park the car in front of our spot so we could watch our floats. We caught a few roaches, and a beautiful 4 pound common. Was fun. Caught everything with corn too

Do need a membership tho
Sweet vid bro !! I live in Virginia and use sweet corn a lot best bait u can buy

It would work on a river too, providing there are good numbers of carp around! I'd also consider throwing the corn out up stream, as it will be carried along by the flow a bit. :)
can't wait for the temperature to start rising and get back out on the bank.

I live in france and the temperature was 18 degrees last weekend
Nice video .
Why do you use so much lead ? With the fish so close to you need lead ?
