Hi! To improve your carp fishing and catch more fish, check out my Simple Fishing Guidebook! With 100 pages of tips, rigs, knots and bait advice, you’ll definitely improve your knowledge and skills. Get your copy here: fishwithcarl.co.uk/products/the-simple-fishing-guidebook
Please could you do a short video on how to release oarse fish safely? You reach a wide audience and i've seen people lobbing fish back into the pools, releasing softly by letting fish swim out of their hands, and small swings into the water.
I was using pedigree chum mixers 40yrs ago, before it became popular. A friend and I were fishing a lake near Oulton park where there was a carp fishing match. I was having a fish a chuck. Nobody else was catching, but I emptied the place. Two guys fishing the match came over and I gave them some of my bait, and they caught. I have to admit, I stole the idea from a friend who was using cat buiscuits, I only had dogs, so thought I would try the dog biscuits. At the time the chum mixers were chum mixers with gravy. I soaked the mixers in warm water to make them spongy, so it stayed on the hook, but the hook pulled straight out on the strike. I was fishing 8 to 12 feet from the bank ( actually it was a wall, about 3-4 feet deep.) It was the best day carp fishing I’ve ever had.
thankyou. due to your video's you have ignited my passion for angling after a 25 year absence, catching up with all the new methods I fell like a novice all over again. Myself and my 12 year old twin daughters are hooked on your videos & all 3 of us are learning together and loving it, please keep it up :)
I love my tost paste. Get sliced fresh tost bread. Pour water and liquid smell of your choice (i use scopex) in bucket. Soak toast bread 3-4 seconds in spiced water, and then put slices in another empty bucket. When every slice is soaked, mash them with fingers, and sprinkle it with few handfull of groundbait until you get paste (depending how much groundbait you put, its stiffer or looser). I use paste around wire spiral 25-45g freerunning feeders. Because of bread, liquid, and groundbait smell combined, fish really like it😁. Hookbait can be anything (worms, pinkies, corn, pellet...)
Awesome videos man, you've got me back into freshwater fishing after 15 years which has helped me turn my life around! Thank you soo much i know you probably hear that alot but you truly have keep it up and keep inspiring people to do/live better!
@fishingtutorials cheers bud, keep inspiring people and making these amazing videos! If you're ever in and around Plymouth lemme know it'd be amazing to meet you guys I'll be getting your book as soon as I get paid it looks amazing!
As a US carper, bullhead catfish and bluegill are the bane of my existence. Definitely going to try some fake corn along with my strawberry jello/panko bread crumb/sweetcorn mix and see if that helps keep bait on my rig!
I started carp fishing in 2001 when i was 18 . My rigs were very simple and mainly used natural or small baits . Now i have all the latest gear and baits but sometimes you can't beat using a float and a worm for bait 😂
I've had good results with lupin seeds, which I understand are popular with French carp anglers. I prepare them much like other particles, 48-hour soak, followed by 40 minutes in a pressure cooker. You can mount two or three on a hair rig, but I've found just a single seed, hair-rigged, works best for me, regularly catching me commons to 17lb. on my local water.
@@fishingtutorials this video really helped me the water I fish is really pressured so I put a pice of pepperoni on in a solid bag and had my pb at 20lb on the dot.thanks Carl
Whole corn works like a charm on carp and catfish - my buddies and I used to use this long ago and would catch tons of fish with this technique. Only thing is that your throw a whole can of corn out at near sunset and come back at the next sunrise and start reeling them in using a single piece of corn on the bottom on a number 6 or 8 hook - I liked the number 8 hook the best - yeah! really does work well
I agree that bread is the best bait. It's easily available everywhere, it's cheap as chips, I pay 75p for a large, thick sliced loaf. Best of all, carp and other fish all love it! It can be fished on the bottom or on the surface! I've even caught perch on bread. Best all round bait IMHO.
Hi Carl, what is your opinion in mixing different flavours and brands in spod mix and different for hookbait. For example spod mix (nasbaits scopex squid, cell) and for hookbait sticky the krill?
I am 55 years old, and I learned to fish with bamboo rods and how to float the cork. The best lures are the ones that are homemade. I use a lot of corn and bait. Grated cheese, honey, vanilla, strawberry syrup, banana, cherry, anise. This is in the summer. In winter I use worms, maggots, fish kibble and anchovy oil. The boiles? I'll leave them to those who don't know how to fish. 😅 Because the real fisherman must also know how to make bait
If you cut your Spam into slices then fry it on two sides until it goes very light brown it puts a nice surface on it. Then you can cut it into chunks and it stays on your hook or hair for a long time
When I use luncheon meat I like to use a Parisien spoon or commonly known as a melon Baller. I’m a chef by trade and tried it one day and obviously it then presents itself just like boile And just rolls along the river bed thanks for all the advice that you give in you’re videos all the best
Great video showing the different kinds of bait its a minefield out their . However would like to just run back to spam i use it a lot on my local waters and have great success with meat screws they hold the bait well had a lot less falling off since using them they come in metal or plastic/nylon . Middy also do a range of pre tied hook to nylon with meat screws . Though i prefer to tie my own using the plastic screw as the point on the metal variety is a bit sharp and in my opinion could damage a fish if digs in while playing it
Great video as usual. Just wanted some extra incite on how to avoid having turtle disturbance as they make it impossible to fish. I found this very slow moving river with a good stock of big wild carp but the turtles make it unfishable. What could I do other than rigging up the fake corn?
Also worth noting. The use of tiger nuts are banned on many waters because people dont know how to prepare them correctly so just double check with where ever you are going before you do use them and learn how to prepare them properly. I think you had to boil them and leave them soaking in water for a long time to get them safe for the carp to eat.
I am Curious to know whats your favourite bait to use. I go with my dad and he has like 50 different types of boilies with different oils and liquids and he changes his baits so often. Also is it better to fish the same baits for all 3 rods or should you try different baits and hookbaits?
i use enterprise and ESP fake corn beacuse they work like a pop-up and it sits a little bit up from the bottom and i like to use it with groundetd particles in pva bagc with some goo
From my experience: Corn - Cheap, colorful, but attractive to small fishes Rape - More expensive than corn, not much visible, very attractive and can be very smelly. Big carps love this. Its very soluble Boilies - Small boilies for fast catch, bigger boilies for big carps Pellets - Soluble, very attractive for fast takes pop up boilies - attractive, but some big fishes find it suspicious
Sorry mate, they're not available. I got some made to test, but unfortunately the cost is still too high. Would love to if we're able to make it work cost-wise one day.
Yogurt powder is ausum to add to your mix cheap too here in oz we have to be inventive as we can’t get what you guy get in tackle shops in the uk we can get some baits but it’s very expensive my go to mix is 500 gr of bread crims 1 can of sweet corn 1 packet of yogurt mix for method feeders bait cukk corn , wafters, tiger nuts
Carl, I've got a question you may be able to answer. Ok, Without being too graphic, we as humans eat sweetcorn, and it passes through our bodies undigested, it comes out whole, ok. So, as we know, fish love sweetcorn and we catch them on it all the time. My question is, do they digest it and break it up inside their bodies? I can't imagine they would be physically able to pass a whole grain so I'm thinking their stomachs contain acids which digest it/break it up. Would you agree with this?
take bread and mix it with egg yoke make it in to a big ball and take small parts make into small balls and put it in to hook. ps ;u can add all sort of mixes for flavors in to egg yoke
I believe using frozen shrimp from the grocery store as bait is illegal where I live, supposedly due to risk of imported farm raised shrimp introducing viruses that could harm crawfish and other local crustaceans.
Why aren't you adding the option for Turkish subtitles? 😔Please add Turkish subtitles to your previous and future videos. Your videos are valuable to me.🥰
Yeah sometimes! I love Newdigate fisheries, it's lovely day ticket (no night fishing). This is where we caught some lovely golden orfe. They have carp, good tench, rudd etc. lots of fishing options and lakes to choose from th-cam.com/video/TARfOOiFGmQ/w-d-xo.html & th-cam.com/video/pkAa6996pBE/w-d-xo.html
Has anybody ever tried using strawberries or blueberries as bait ? Before I go and waste my time trying them! I can't see how they can hurt carp if corn is ok .

Holmston hall 😊
@@stuartmacdonald4573 It was actually Oulton mill pool. I don’t think there was a fishery at Holmston in those days.

If you cut your Spam into slices then fry it on two sides until it goes very light brown it puts a nice surface on it. Then you can cut it into chunks and it stays on your hook or hair for a long time
Oh yes half for me half for the fish haha
Or just buy bacon grill instead of spam and it stays on fine and is cheaper
Makes a great sandwich, too.

Many years ago I used to use butter beans ,cheap and pretty effective at avoiding bream , short range only and did add molasses .to them .
Great Video! I actually catch most of my carp with cheese. And sturgeon bite too (which is not really a challenge because sturgeon eat everything).
My dads mate fishes with cheese and bread. He always catches.
Ahh nice! Thank you mate!
Thank you for the good tipps it helps a lot
i love your videos
I'm glad they help :)
Great information, many thanks for sharing!

We're do I go to order this stuff from America? I want boilies and that feed bait I can throw out..
Nice Video👍 Like always😉

You should try going to Krugerdrift in Bloemfontein South Africa
Hi. We use the powder bait and make balls. They snap of my line when I cast. Why does my line snap? Thanks.
Hey carl good video are you coming to carp den bosh 2024?
hey! crayfish also **LOVE** corn, thats the only way i catch them, other that hand picking them 7 in each hand while diving!
Can you use sweetcorn all year round?
From my experience: Corn - Cheap, colorful, but attractive to small fishes
Rape - More expensive than corn, not much visible, very attractive and can be very smelly. Big carps love this. Its very soluble
Boilies - Small boilies for fast catch, bigger boilies for big carps
Pellets - Soluble, very attractive for fast takes
pop up boilies - attractive, but some big fishes find it suspicious

Glad to hear that :)
Hi Carl could you add a link for the cheap bulk maize you buy please.
I get it from BlakesBaits :)
great video
Cheers mate! :)
Are the fish with carl bags available to public or is it a one of the type thing ? Ide love one of those
Sorry mate, they're not available. I got some made to test, but unfortunately the cost is still too high. Would love to if we're able to make it work cost-wise one day.
One day I might have to just stick Ur logo on one just for myself 😂😂 if that's not copyright or anything.@@fishingtutorials
Your videos are so cool Carl I think I should do some more like vidioes
Also can u do another pile vidio I think people would like it and would be great
In the match world majority of us use warburtons toastie loaf thick cause it’s more gluten so it’s stickier for the small hooks for the pole
Yogurt powder is ausum to add to your mix cheap too here in oz we have to be inventive as we can’t get what you guy get in tackle shops in the uk we can get some baits but it’s very expensive my go to mix is 500 gr of bread crims 1 can of sweet corn 1 packet of yogurt mix for method feeders bait cukk corn , wafters, tiger nuts

DID YOU TRY canned green peas in water FOR CARP WE DO IT SOUTH AFRICA it work
How about a video lure fishing for carp?
Very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Could we fish together someday? I have been to that tackleshop and really like your videos keep up the good work
Thanks mate! I’m very busy at the moment and lots of people ask to go fishing with me but you never know! Might see ya on the bank some time! :)
Been having carp recently on Hot Dog sausage and also tinned meat balls.
Carl what do you think is the best carp bait for big waters in the USA 😁
Not horse feed 😂
I find big beds of maize and tiger nuts have been very effective for me. Boilies have seemed to draw in too many catfish!
what was on the end of the pepperami the pink thing
Half a popup boilie :)
take bread and mix it with egg yoke make it in to a big ball and take small parts make into small balls and put it in to hook.
ps ;u can add all sort of mixes for flavors in to egg yoke
Was that your pond!!!?
I believe using frozen shrimp from the grocery store as bait is illegal where I live, supposedly due to risk of imported farm raised shrimp introducing viruses that could harm crawfish and other local crustaceans.
Where do you live
What’s that website called for your particles
Blakes Baits :)
@@fishingtutorials thank you
You're welcome!
In my opinion bakers meaty meals dog biscuits are the best surface bait by far only if people knew the power the bakers has
Agreed little soak in hemp seed oil and your hauling them 👍🏼
Great vid once again
Thanks mate :)
Fry the spam in some salt goes abit tougher

My best dip IV tried is port soaked cell
Yep bit off port just missing the cheese lol
Could’ve sworn that was Lowestoft Tesco and you’re now in Latham’s ?
I was fishing for carp in unknown pond idk if there even is carp but there was once and i got a pike on a sweetcorn
Nice one!

Wih ikan nya besar tuan apakah itu ikan Koi ???
Carp also known as water chicken, eats absolutely everything that can be eaten
Hi Carl,How do you have so much time to respond to these comments?
I work on my TH-cam channels full time these days!
Are you responding to these comments while you are fishing?
Sometimes, and other times when at home :)@@Leanderfishing
Ok 👌 👍
Haha I don't! That's why there's a lot that I miss :(
The only thing ive ever caught on spam is the trots! 😂😂
Bait boat tutorial next?
2 Carl can u make a catfish rig tortilla
Come to mexico, where carp live in rivers on the side of corn farms lol
👌🎣👌
go carp fishing in australia its so easy we catch hundreds down here, but they are an invasive species so you cant release them.
I'd struggle with that though, I wouldn't be able to kill a carp.
@@fishingtutorials yea i figured
Magicarp!!!
:) :)
Fresh white 🥖
Bacon grill is better than spam and stays on the hook alot better.
Sliced bread is just wrong get an uncut fresh loaf
1:31 Those are Carl Baits xD
I just got 25kg whole maize for £11 ❤
Come to Cameroon. Let's fish some river giants
Saving for a boat?
Mushing , mashing.
Has anybody ever tried using strawberries or blueberries as bait ? Before I go and waste my time trying them! I can't see how they can hurt carp if corn is ok .
Haha I caught a chub on a blackberry!
