Maybe if nothing else you found a new hook bait what do you think of the sweet potatoes do you think they would replace your tiger nuts or will you use the sweet potatoes again? That sucks the trip didn't turn out like you expected. Love all the video's.

Hey man, can I ask where you get the sweet feed you use?

You said "unreel"😂

Thanks

well you salvaged that trip a little. Nice catches.

What rods and reels are you using?

Raise your voice a bit to get their attention. Some idiots don’t respond to calmness.

What a result after a disappointing trip Tom, persistence paid off big time, well done bud!

We also knead bread and use it as a hook bait and dip it in flavour. Usually brown bread and the yellow of an egg kneeded well. Can also flavour with curry powder.

We use a lot of corn as hookbait for Carp in South Africa.We flavour them all different kinds of flavour. Our pack baits consist of either a popcorn base pack bait or we cook corn and put them through a grinder to make pack bait. Some of those corn pips we then use as hook bait in either a hair rig or just hook it on the hook. We also use a bait we call a "floatie" . Its made from wheat flour and we also flavour them.

I've used potato as hook bait for carp I use the canned potatoes and boil them for 7 minutes works great got the idea from another you tube channel TA Fishing.

I really enjoy your videos and the way you fish, but I have to disagree with you saying corn is a terrible hook bait. In my experience, corn is the number one hook bait for carp. But that is just my opinion. Lol. Keep up the good work. 👍

Don't show this episode to the carp in my neck of the woods because they like corn. I've caught a bunch on it. I how ever liked it. Thanks

Well Tom I would say the last 4 or 5 hours of your trip made a bad trip into a pretty good one. And I also know being that I have a lovely wife and not so lovely X-wife it made that 5 hour drive home a lot happier one. On another note just got my tiger nuts from you and come to find out I could of use the wife's sweet potato 🤣😂😆

Love these vids tom

Nice vid! You could definitely feel the bummed out vibe in the beginning, but you hung in there . Glad your able to take away something positive after all - Not sure how id feel paying 1200 for a waste of lakefront property though seems a bit shady to me. The property owner should disclose that before hand - IMO.

So that's where my old boyhood minnow trap got to

Hi Tom, thanks for sharing your trip. Did you boil those sweet potatoes first? Sorry if I missed it.

Your trips go about like mine do. 😅 Looks like it still turned out decent towards the end though.

Tom, hooray for perseverance and innovation. I'll take this opportunity to step on your thread and comment that I was so pleased with the almond tiger nuts you sent that I am now processing my own Chufa seeds--as you illustrated. After flailing around looking for the secret answers, my choice of hook baits is simplified; almond tiger nuts or spicy tiger nuts. Both are working. Possible personal best yesterday, judged by sight, on the spicy nuts. It rivaled others caught on almonds. I don't weigh them; don't really care. Thanks for all of the tutorials Tom; they have simplified things greatly; and I try to follow your methods closely. My 89th birthday next week and I recently found, after 12 years of passing it by, that a small residential lake 1.6 miles from home has gracious residents, carp, and shade trees. Ignore the no trespassing signs that the HOA posted, they say. Tell me I am not blessed.

I wanted to thank you for this video. I have been planning a fishing trip for a while. This was very useful. Thank you.

Been watching quite a few of your videos…I like your “real life” content and just overall get stuff! Subscribed today

I live on a small inner city lake. Moved here to have my own fishing spot. First couple of months, fishing was rough. Once I discovered carp in the lake and researched some popular carp fishing techniques....the rest is history! I was hooked! Glad the trip wasn't a total loss for ya!

Steelhead fishing this week on the Columbia river was about the same. Slimy grass was being pushed downriver which would encase our plugs in minutes. It turned into a "why even bother?" Situation.

I think I would have tried Spam. I've seen the guys in Europe do that.

For a large expanse of water like that doing only day sesions thats a great result.carp love weed its full of natural food and offers them cover we use pva bags to tackle weed fishing here in the uk 🇬🇧 theirs lots of videos to help you out great video buddy

I must have nothing but stupid carp in mn I’ve got all the carp gear and nothing beats canned corn loaded on a hook I hate it haha. I wanna play with the fun stuff

Last King sounds better, until it doesn't. Have 2 that bait runner clicker stopped working on. Make no noise at all. Time to try something else.

Always like your videos...not trying to be rude..you looklike u lost weight bud 👍

This is exactly how I feel when spin casters and others crowd me. I mainly fly-fish and as such require some berth. But nope. Someone with their Wal-mart bait caster has to practically bump shoulders. What happened to etiquette?

VERY COOL 👍🏼🎣

Hey what did you use to mount ur go pro on ur fishing net ? Looking to do that as well

Excellent!

I fish from shore and it happens to me ALL THE TIME. There will always be that one boat.

In England alot of carp anglers judge,sad really

Thanks for the great video! I wish I had seen it before I hiked this trail a couple years ago with my mom and sister-in-law! We had been planning on doing Black Elk Peak but switched to Sunday Gulch last minute. (We stayed at the Palmer Gulch KOA, and when we realized we could see the fire tower from our cabins and actually got a look at what the elevation gain would be, we chickened out. 😅) We had done less research on SG, but knew enough that we were comfortable going. We ended up going counter-clockwise, and while the other two held up fine, I ended up with mild heat exhaustion and a migraine. The long slow uphill in the middle on a hot day really did a number on me (so better in the long run that we decided against BEP). I'm planning to hike it again the next time I'm in the area, but I'll be going clockwise this time! 😊

whats a good substitute if we cant get our hands on some horse feed/ sweet feed? is just oats mixed with a can fine?

U kept it too cool!

Have you ever caught a catfish on ham?

Just curious if you’ve tried this 99% rig at a pay-lake? It’s quite a bit different than what we use down in the south.

loved when that happened to me.....i have 100 lb braid on my catfish rig. always ended up with nice swimbait after that. i fished next to a guy who got his line tangled in a prop, that guy was mad, he let his whole spool out. said ''there you go, learn that lesson when that prop breaks'' dunno if it can happen, but damn he was mad

Weird video..... "Old fashioned oats" by any chance lol

I have a boat and steer clear of folks on the bank. I got the whole lake to fish, its common sense to respect the 20-25 yards of bank for those on shore.

am i the only one confused? you have a loop on your hair but is it not supposed to be just a single string? im confused on how you to boilies or corn to the loop???
