The fickle Carp
Watch, as one fish spooks off the bait and rig. Then the next fish is fooled by the exact same presentation.
The Human Hair Rig
I tied a rig using old school human hair for the hair. Surprisingly good results. Why did we switch to the knotless knot?? convenience?
Night fishing
<2>Finally mastered night videoing. This should prove to be very revealing when I get stuck into it in November. look out for some cool videos here.
The Naked chod rig
By popular demand. The naked chod rig for carp fishing and how it settles in weed.
The badly tied rig
Had to re-publish this one due to sound problems. For those who have not seen it before, I tied the worst I could and then videoed it. I thought that […]
Feeding fish soon return
Watch as I spook the feeding carp fish, and how soon they return. I see this with fish that are actively feeding, but not fish that cruising around.
Fishing with blunt hooks
Here, I have got everything right, but don’t catch the fish. I believe this is due to the hook being blunt. Not blunt in the sense that it wont dig […]
PVA bag fishing part 2
Here the PVA bag is hooked onto the end of the rig. The camera appears to show that this draws the fish directly onto the hookbait only. and not onto […]
PVA bag fishing part 1
Someone asked if I could video this, and I am glad I did. It is noticeable how often the carp spook off this setup, as their barbules touch the lead […]
The Chod rig
Here (as requested) is the chod rig. It is a bit “in yer face” and you can see some fish spook away from it. However, I can see why people […]
Boilie right size
So I made the boilie smaller (12mm) and, you guessed it. Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
Boilie too big
A homemade 30mm boilie is cast out to the fish, but it is too big to catch them. Size can be important!!!
Can fish see our rigs?
Underwater video of carp a carp rig up close. Here a really murky “commercial lake” is chosen for the test. A snowman rig is cast out into 4 feet of […]
strangest carp behaviour ever underwater
What does this fish think it’s doing? This was caught by one of my surveillance cameras. Never seen anything like it before,
PVA bag of Glug
Whatch as the glug and the PVA bag float to the surface. I think oil based glugs are a mistake here
Corkball popup rig
Here is the classic corkball popup. Love the way it flies up.
Snowman boilie rig
Here is the classic Snowman rig. Don’t use em myself but there is something to be said for the technique as you can see here.
Carp in the snags
Here I poke a camera into some snags hoping to catch a glimpse of the carp before they spook off. However, they don’t spook. They just swim in front of […]
Carp caught on a McDonalds fry (chip)
Here I catch a carp using a McDonalds chip as the hookbait. just to show that you don’t need ultra sophisticated baits to catch fish. Although, you will catch more […]
Large bait patch seems to spook the fish
Here we have a larger, brighter patch of bait. Watch how more spooky the fish around this more obvious bait patch. I only see this where the fish are actively […]
The odd shaped boilie
Watch, as the carp keeps attacking the different shaped boilie. He will eat the round ones, but he wants the sausage one. This shows similar results as my other video […]
the straightened out hooklink
The fish were continually spooking off my rig. I thought they might be spooking off the hooklink (braid). So I recast, this time though I staightened out the hooklink by […]
Pre-baiting part3
Here we can see the results of the subsequent baitings. I stopped baiting the spot after the 3rd application. This proves that the fishing theory works, but different weed densities […]
Pre-baiting part2
Here we can see the results of the first days baiting, and the results are stunning. Most of the weed has gone. Also, notice how that fish tries to feed […]
Pre-baiting part1
On weedy lakes some anglers say if you Bait a spot with plenty of small particles. Fish will tear up the weed to get at the particles and this results […]
Baiting Patterns
I have heard of anglers using sophisticated baiting patterns to lure fish onto the hookbait but I always thought it was bollocks. However after watching this, mayb’e I should put […]
Coot steals boilie from carp
Here a Coot steals the boilie 10 minns before the carp would have taken it. Beware of the coot menace. You have been warned.
Every capture is a story….
This is a long video. It’s an hour and a half condensed down to Thirteen minutes. But worth watching as there is much to learn here. I fed the swim […]
Liquidised boilie and stiff rig
Continuing my work with Liquidised boiles and balanced baits. I have made the rig stiffer. This seems to do the trick. Once the fish has taken the bait it stays […]
What sounds do fish make?
Here I test my new Hydrophone. What strange noises they make. Also, you can hear everything underwater. cars going past, talking, even a plane overhead. Surely then it follows that […]
Not in a pond
I have recieved a few disturbing E-mails recently. Some people claim this is all faked and I make these video’s in my garden pond. So, here is a video of […]
A Carp on bread
Guys, Dont forget bread (yes really, bread). I have been experimenting with this forgotten bait and the results are have been very rewarding. The fish take to it so readily. […]

Carp feeding by my camera cable
Here the camera has been disturbed by a fish and the camera cable is in in clear view. Watch as the carp are happy to feed around and sometimes under […]
The badly made rig
I tied the worst I could and then videoed it. I thought that rig tying wasn’t that important, turns out its crucially important. The fish rejected the rig about 20 […]
