Winter CARP FISHING at Horcott Lakes

In this film I'm joined by long-time carper Lee Pollard as we tackle the lovely Horcott Lake in the depths of winter. This 22-acre gravel pit is situated in the Cotswolds and contains some of the finest English carp available on the day ticket. We talk tactics, swim choice, and the most important piece of the winter carping jigsaw - location - as we land some absolute 'bangers' to 37lb. For more information on how to fish this water visit www.horcottlakes.co.uk

Love your vids and angling Mr Crow but drones is just cheating

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers pal 👍 Watching vlogs is cheating also 😉

[@Chriscarper]

@@SimonCrow I'm a seasoned carp angler myself for over 30 years, come on mate it's a step too far. They don't stand a chance, think of all the winter sessions you've done building up your watercraft shivering on some windswept pit under a brolly and canvas wrap, moving swims to get on a showing fish. It wouldnt have been half as much fun if youd been passed the cheat codes. Any Tom, Dick or Harry can use a drone, tie on a ready made rig and bait boat it out to the spot these days, it's getting quite ridiculous. There will be ready made rigs dangling from drones soon by pva string 😆

[@SimonCrow]

I totally agree with you mate. But one thing I’ve learned about carp fishing is, no matter what you, I or anyone says about “it’s cheating”, someone will go next to you and use it. I’m not going to waste my life moaning about it while watching the bloke catch fish. I’m going to join him. My time is precious and I enjoy catching fish on my terms, not someone else’s. If I catch a carp on a rod and line/hook, it’s fair game ✌️
