What a brilliant diary piece Mark. Seeing the gopro footage of the carp swimming around while you're swimming around yourself was immense. The explanation of using oils and dips was really useful, I have been using this tackttic for a few years now but you have certainly opened my eyes. Congrats on catching that chunk 👏👌can't wait for the next one. Oh, loving the podcasts too. 🎣🎣👍
Excellent dairy piece. It’s a strange part of Carp fishing while we care so much about these beautiful fish we still put them through a lot of stress when we catch them. I guess it’s all about balance and we give them the care they deserve for the pleasure they give us.
[First of all the weight 69Kg] Second the close up underwater GoPro wow opens your eye's really enjoy all the podcast and diary pieces you and Mike do all the info you give is so helpful cheer's for that keep up the excellent pieces of work
Fantastic diary piece Mark, very interesting to see the underwater scenes, and not forgetting the mega carp capture at the beginning, well done fella looking forward to the next one
I've been fishing for a long time & making my own bait for nearly as long yet every time I watch you I learn something new. Great videos, solid content, cracking fish & excellent information. What more could we ask for. Keep up the good work.
Absolute fantastic video. Love to share some time on the bank just to listen And learn. Some brilliant explanations on oil and a good insight to the Carps world. Congratulations on the captures. One of the best videos I’ve watched for a while.
Seeing you come out of the lake after snorkelling was like James Bond coming out of the sea in one of his movies...😂😂 Great stuff as ever Mark. Awesome underwater footage and some great fish caught - well done!
Lovely piece and great footage. I regularly open water swim in 1 lake that I can also fish, I do wonder how ‘leading about’ can learn anything like as much as actually swimming over the spots. I’d love to be able to swim in some of the others I have tickets for. If you Get yourself a swimming wetsuit (they can be got for under 100notes) and you should be good to swim in a wider range of water temps. Fab diary piece. 👍🏻
Great entry. If I could pick someone to have a session with it would be you. Genuine. Normal. Your attitude to life and fishing is incredible. All the best to you and your family. Going with 79.10kg
Baitworks yeah brilliant,first I’ve seen of your vids,enjoyed it so subscribed and I’m currently going through some older stuff 😁 keep up the good work 👍
What a video! Just awesome Mark, some remarkable footage and a wonderful insight into the carps world🤿. Many congratulations on the capture of the old warrior and of course your PB, both absolute cracking fish 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🎣 🐟🐟 #works
Absolutely brilliant mark. So informative as always, cracking videos mate keep up the hard work ill be eagerly waiting for the next one! Top angler 🎣 and congratulations on the old mirror wat a fish 🍋🎣
What can I say another great video mark, as soon as the notification came through that was it 43 minutes of bait works while I’m working. Glad you got the fish 🎣 too. Always appreciate your knowledge in oils and dips. Keep it up 👍
I only have a short time to fish these days and the more tips that you provide to get the most out of you baits are greatly received , interesting view with the oil leakage in the colder months , Now the serious bit , my guesstimate is 97kg
Brilliant video mark always look forward to watching these now. I reckon your 80kg mate. Brilliant watching the under water clips and like you I always worry my rig is presented correctly. Cheers mate and always baitworks is the best bait I've ever used
great diary :)and wow 8 man team to record a thinking tackle makes me think how hard i work first i roll all my own baits then i go out and catch massive carp i turn up to the lake with out my own cook then record my session and then go home and edit it for people to watch:)
Another awesome video and information that i will be putting to great use. It's great to see a bait company giving information about what goes into their bait and how to get the best from it. You can see that so much thought and hard work has gone into this bait, best i get an order in. 81 kg buy the way.
great talk, awesome footage, thanks for the insight on oils, and you still have'nt got bk to me on a price for your soundmasters haha l no, there going nowhere! : )
Mark absolutely stunning video. Just finished listening to all the baitwork podcasts. Helped me get through my working day and inspired me% I’m from Bristol just wondering if you know of any good lakes in the Bristol area as I’m struggling to find any good ones. Hope you can help a fellowBristolian
Hi Jamie, glad you enjoyed them mate. Sadly lakes around Bristol are few and far between. Hunstrete lake is about as good as it gets mate. Mostly days only, they do allow the od night weekend. Plenty of carp, a good handful of thirties and I believe a forty these days. Its ran by Bathampton so look them up. Failing that you'll need to probably travel to the Cotswolds to find more choices mate. All the best.
Thanks for taking your time to reply, yes the fishing lakes choices around Bristol isn’t brilliant. I have fished hunstrete and newton park on the bathhampton licence a number of times. What day ticket lakes would you recommend on the water park? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. All the very best and thanks for your time Tight lines
If your looking for a biggest lake with a few more challenges then the Carp Society Horeshoe lake is well worth a look Jamie. Once you join the society is only £1 per hour to fish the lake also.
Mark..just watched this and you brought up a subject I've debated bankside loads over the years...oils and more importantly oil trails..do you believe carp follow the oil trail to its source or to where the wind/surface tow or undertow are taking it???.. As in when the winds blowing hard you get on the end of it as that's where the naturals are been blown and the carp follow..generally.. Surely that's the same with the oil trails ..they follow where there going to..not where they are coming from like sharks would for instance ....on the surface oily floaters end up getting fish feeding away from where they go in and you find yourself chasing the carp down the lake as the oil/mixers drift..feeding oiled up bottom baits drives the fish the same surely??? Debate....great video content again by the way..jp
Hi Mate, good question. Its not the oil they follow as I mentioned its the other products defused in the oil that leak off. The oil is used to lift these products off the bottom. Now heavy food liquids will rise and get carried off with the oil but I don't think they will stay with the oil for ever. They will disperse out the oil etc and thats when the carp may detect them. Lets not forget the baited area will also be pumping out food signals also to attract them to the hook bait. Good debate for sure, but I know the oil/mixed with heavy liquid foods is a great method for sure.
Awesome video! Now I really want to focus on how my line-lay is presented, something i deffo haven’t paid as much attention to as I should have. This has also given me the confidence I was lacking when using oils in the colder months. What an epic story to open the video with too, well done mate. Maybe in the next instalment we will get a mention of the creamino we’ve all been waiting for👀 thank you for the awesome detailed information as well as producing kick ass baits
Love the video's mark extremely interesting, but can't help thinking with the state of the oceans today, should we still be using fish meal baits, to feed fish of which there are millions.

Great insight into how oil's act and how much we take for gratitude over the bottom, lovely old fish, keep them coming.
Cheers Dave, yes oils are great when mixed with soluble food liquids as they act as a vehicle and take the food up through the layers.
Mark just loved the underwater filming just goes to show all the little hiding spots in a lake -great old carp on the bank good stuff fella 👍👍
Indeed Paul, its fascinating mate.

Love the video's mark extremely interesting, but can't help thinking with the state of the oceans today, should we still be using fish meal baits, to feed fish of which there are millions. The carp fishing industry must use hundreds of tonnes of sea fish meal baits every year, can we really justify it
