Hi Simon hindsight is a wonderful thing but for me a solid bag approach first, along with a zig,& a ronnie..The lakes were difficult the weather wasn't the best but fishing can be like that..Still now with Autumn coming the carp fingers crossed, will be looking for a munch and will be looking there best..Till your next vlog stay safe mate........LC
Looked a real nice lake u certainly got a rough time of it weatherwise throughout your road trip the fishing can throw u a real curve ball at times u caught loads of barbel which could have been the toughest test of the trip and the carp have proved the more elusive species u probably werent expecting that outcome mate but a great watch as always and good technical info etc cheers simon and tight lines
cheers fella I definitely enjoyed the barbel and was glad it worked out that way. Next year we need the carp to play ball too and it could be a good trip!
Nice vid Simon looked like a gruelling week. I do enjoy your vids mate very honest you've got to take the rough with the smooth that's fishing isn't it 👍
Good series. I fish Horcott regularly and 'The Beach' where you were, especially Matt's area in the weed to the right, is always good for a bite. Very surprised at the bailiffs advice though, the fish are very nomadic so once you've found them the tactic has always been to put plenty of bait in to keep them in your area.
Cheers mate good info. Tbh the fish just weren't on the feed. Plenty of people were putting in the bait and not catching and Matts fish came to very light baiting tactics as did the one that cut me off. There were plenty showing near us but they just weren't on the bait. I'll definitely be back one day its a lovely lake 👌
No, I fish horcott every weekend and have had the most fish out this season, only small amount of bait and chase the fish around, nobody tends to fish affectively anymore :( p.s. horcott is barbless only.
So out of the 3 venues simon which ones would you have approached differently if you could do the week again and what would you do differently mate great watch once again shame no carp to show for yourself but the venue looks really nice would love to have a crack at it good effort anyway and tight lines from the NORTHERN CARP FREAKS 👍👍
Tbh I think Bradley would have been impossible whatever we did. Horcott I would have just fished solid bags I think. The fish definitely weren't on the feed and they didn't respond to any bait tbh
Hi Simon, Just getting back into carp fishing after a 20 year gap and been watching all your vids. Need to buy complete set up so going to cost a bit, what are the alarms your using?
Hello, Please can you let me know what rods you are using for carp fishing on the bight alarms... Been watching so many videos where the three rods are on the rod rests and wondered what you are using.
Well done on what was a tough week , enjoyed your road trip . Keep your spirits up and looking forward to the next vlog .😊
Thanks for that very much appreciated 👌

Great watch brother.👍🏻
Cheers fella 👌
Great mini series and recollection of this yrs road trip, who's knickers was Matt wearing at 21.10.....🤔😳🤯
Thanks mate and not sure what to comment on Matts pants! I'm not sure what you mean lol
Yours😂
Morning , what drop off indicators are you using there ? look super smart neat and tidy
Hi mate they're the JAG safeliner mk2 black. Lovely bits of kit and three different weight options too 👌

Hi Simon,
Just getting back into carp fishing after a 20 year gap and been watching all your vids.
Need to buy complete set up so going to cost a bit, what are the alarms your using?
hi mate I'm using ECU at the moment but had delkims before. Both are great. Fox are also worth a look
Nice
👌
Nice one Simon! 👍🏻
Cheers fella
Hello, Please can you let me know what rods you are using for carp fishing on the bight alarms... Been watching so many videos where the three rods are on the rod rests and wondered what you are using.
solid bags on there mate
Next time I'll be trying them for sure 👌
great vid as always
Cheers mate much appreciated tight lines 👌
The volume on this video is all over the place can't hear you so I turn it up then music comes in blasting! Lol
Yeah quite tricky getting the levels right but my more recent videos are better I think 👍
Great video. Do you know much about this place. Going this week for 72 hours, any advice appreciated
I'd just find the fish and fish solid bags on clear spots if I went again mate 👌
Don’t be scared to move about, get into swims that haven’t been fished much, the corners and lightly bait
Cheers guys 👍
Smashing the content . ✌
