Absolutely brilliant Steve, really enjoyed that. Good on you for sticking with it , and what an incredible looking Carp, huge head , mouth , and tail , looked absolutely massive. Just a great bit of angling, thanks for sharing that with us all 👍
@@stevebriggs4638 i wanted to say that i can cook like you can fish, but i realise you are a Mount Rushmore candidate amongst carp fishermen; definitely top 10. I can cook. I'll leave it at that. Steve, would you like to go on a fishing trip with Danny Fairbrass and Ian Chillcot and Kevin? It would be a trip of the G.O.A.T.'s
Yes it was just waiting for that switch on time. The lake had been drained and filled with surrounding ponds that were full of ice water so it was a bit more of a shock than usual for the fish.
Great video as always Steve. Thank you very much for sharing. Joan looked far more comfortable on that couch than she did on that chair in the Manchester show. Much love to you both ❤💙
Nice one Steve , I was fishing my french lake that week, it was really tough conditions with ice on the water for a week , suddenly , I had 3 bites in an afternoon after 6 days . We can’t make them feed . Lovely fish
2021 I could do no wrong with fish after fish, even had 3 at one time at one point. Last year 2022 I caught 1 carp? 1 carp all year lol... but I did get some record catfish just to rub it in on me... I'm definitely gonna hope for more this year. Beautiful fish congratulations
Mainly just because there were four rods on that small platform and any hooked fish kiting across is much easier to deal with than with the lines down, same with the bait boat. Just force of habit too, I fish that way for the majority of the time.

Great vid mate 👌I find a few degrees increase this time of year and it can get you a bite .
Yes it was just waiting for that switch on time. The lake had been drained and filled with surrounding ponds that were full of ice water so it was a bit more of a shock than usual for the fish.

@@stevebriggs4638 think it just shows these waters are not always easy and sometimes you have to work hard for your carp 👌👍
7:57 thatss amazing and means you can just keep trickling the bait it while the rods out without any worries. Maga bit of kit

Cheers Wayne yes got there eventually 👍👍

Thanks glad you liked it 👍👍
Out of interest Steve, whats the reasoning behind the rods up, especially on a small water?
Mainly just because there were four rods on that small platform and any hooked fish kiting across is much easier to deal with than with the lines down, same with the bait boat. Just force of habit too, I fish that way for the majority of the time.
@@stevebriggs4638 Thanks for the reply Steve = much appreciated
Super bait boat
Yes proper bit of kit!!
great result steve , love your vids mate ,
