It's all about energy levels, time, commitments and determination. We all know what to do. Walk the lake at night listening for fish. Set the alarm an hour before first light. It's Adams job to do this, he fishes mid week. But for the weekend angler it's impossible with busy lakes. But great tips in theory from Adam.
spot on
Not a carp fisherman but found this after searching for tips on using a spot/marker rod for tench fishing. I found this to be one of the most common sense videos on this subject and will look at the rest of the series. Thanks Adam 👍
I think to a degree the reason a lot of anglers fish the same way as Adam spoke about fishing years ago, find a visible feature then marker up is beacuse they do not always have the luxury of finding the fish first (unless willing to go home if they cant find fish in areas they can fish) simply because a lot of venues are very busy, and some anglers time is very limited. I could turn up at my club lake for 24hr, spend time walking the lake, only see fish in areas where the swims are taken ..... so the choice is, go home or take a chance elsewhere on the lake knowing I might not go fishing again for another month
Totally agree especially if it’s a day ticket lake
Indeed, just comes down to time you have available for being bankside, these guys job is to be there 5-7 days a week so understandable they can use this method efficiently and just move spot location or come back tomorrow, regular anglers can go once a month maybe more if your lucky and can afford it 😅
My local day ticket lake (members lake) is fantastic & full of fish. I had 2 30lbers last year. Problem is you have to book a specific swim which makes getting on the fish much more difficult. When it happens it's frustrating as you can see fish elsewhere but can't get to them. I end up fishing my usual spot & usually get a bite or two but this is an issue that anglers face when a syndicate lake is financially out of reach.
There's usually more than one swim free. If there is, it's worth spending a bit of time looking, no matter what. 24hr is a long time and spending the first hour or more looking is always worth it. In fact, on a shorter session, it's even more important. A lot of my fishing is work nights and I'll still make the effort to walk the lake and look every time.
Totally agree mate 🎣
Wish I watched this series a decade or so ago. Teach an old dog new tricks. One happy angler. Massive thank you 🎉🎉
Could listen to adam all day his technical descriptions and technique explanations are excellent
One of the few anglers I listen to, A true great in the ever changing world of Carp fishing. Lovin the content.
Very good video Adam, very informative and easy to understand 👌🏻
Brilliant. Lots to take away and digest! Thank you...
Class video, thank you guys 🙌
Just got back into carp fishing after many many years off ....this video is Best advice I've heard thanks you up my game now
Really enjoyed that. I needs to take notes 🖊️🖊️🖊️ 👍👍👍
Very informative video a good watch thank you
Lol
Hi Adam. What are your thoughts of throwing out a deeper to get the depths, then ping out a lead to check the bottom ?
🤣 “Like the clouds in the sky…it’ll have clear bits and chodier bits.”…I couldn’t have put that better myself. 👍🏻
It's good watching your vids while fishing and while your on the other side of the lake atm lol
Hi. How do you approach spodding distances? Appreciating that you would perhaps only use them in a weedy situations, but how do you adjust the wraps if you aren’t using a marker. Thanks
Great advice but not always practical when the fish aren't showing or the fishery is busy, then you've got to go on the areas where carp might be.
I'm just getting serious about feature finding in open water so a really helpful video, confirmed a couple of things I'd been wondering about
Excellent advice but with Carp lakes packed week in week out, we often don't get a chance.
Exactly! Unless your on a syndicate
Intresting view on how to approach a venue, but what if the lake is surrounded by overhanging trees, few venues and you just can't get to the fish or their holding area? Even if they are there, that doesn't mean that they are in the mood to feed... maybe they visit a completely different Spot for that. How do you explain that?🤔😁
I would like to see what your are talking about with you rig.
all well and good but it's practically impossible in modern carp fishing to have free reign in a particular water to track the fish down and have access to them. It happened to me this weekend where the guy opposite me seemed to have the entire stock of the lake in his swim in a bay and the rest of the lake blanked. Feature finding should be the absolute bread and butter for ALL course angling! This is the problem with modern fishing media; they present scenarios which are not realistic to the average angler.
But what to you do if you you ore booked amd have to choose a swim before you turn up on the day
best teacher since crabtree
Club I fish is impossible to spot fish in winter
Hi chaps
Any suggestions on what's the best test curve for a spomb rod, thanks in advance
5lb minimum, 12ft length for usual use, 13ft for long distances
@@doom1385 Thanks for the tip
@@markdarby75 and to cast longer distances use a size smaller spod/spomb than the largest one, in my opinion the spomb midi x is the best allrounder
No mention of the stretch in the mono after using braid to find the spot....
Indeed this is the way but it just comes down to time you have available for being bankside, these guys job is to be there 5-7 days a week so understandable they can use this method efficiently and just move spot location or come back tomorrow, regular anglers can go once a month maybe more if your lucky and can afford it 😅
It's OK if the fish are there not if the lake is full and u can't get on fish make your own feature and hope there come to you
Why do u need a “leader” if you’ve got strong braid?
You don't if your not casting mega distances but if your trying to hit 100+ yards with a large spod it's advisable to have ,he uses the same rod for feature finding and spodding so he has a shock leader
All good in theory - but what if you’re fishing a very low stocked water where the fish rarely show with no night fishing…you’re travelling back to the 80s in picking likely spots; baiting; and hoping the fish will come to you! 👍🏻
Nuvva question. Instead of leading around for flat spots in weedy lakes, why not just chod rig? Surely a lot simpler. Always see people raving how good chod rigs are but not many videos of people using them in deep weed and catching
I'm wondering why in the UK almost no one is using a bait boat, while in central europe practically every "high-end" angler is using one.
Just simple water craft.
Ideally leading about should give you a rough idea to allow presentation.
Ye messing about wi marker floats is a great way of scaring away the carp before you fish. I'd sooner catch one myself.
I’ve been fishing for 30 years and I still find little tip bits from Adam that I don’t do class videos as normal
Neil, with comments like that, I'm guessing you don't dress yourself??
@Neil the latter
@Neil sorry mate, just read your message back again properly and understand now your comments, we're probably singing from the same hymn sheet
All these videos allways say go where the fish are.when most places you go to fish want you to prebook your peg.most of the time the place is booked up and you cant move peg.this is ok if you book the whole place yourself because your filming a video
There's plenty of lakes where it's not pre-booked peg fishing. Just avoid the commercial circuit waters, because that's how those sort of fisheries are run these days, but there's plenty that aren't like that. Some clubs are cheaper to join than a 48hr ticket on many of these commercials, and tend to be much quieter venues. It depends what you want.
Lakes where you pre book swims are very much in the minority. There's plenty of cheap, quiet club lakes if you look around...
I can’t think of anything worse in carp fishing than what you describe. There’s loads of waters out there where you hardly see another angler. I can think of loads of times on several waters over the years when I’ve been the only angler on the lake on a sat night.
@Neil they're out there. You might have to compromise in terms of size or productivity, but they can be found.
As said, I can think of a few clubs with decent fish in. In my area, I can think of two or three I could join tomorrow and be fishing for forty plus fish, but I'm hardly going to name them in here...
Luckily I fish Monday to Wednesday each week and this is exactly what I do if I can spot the buggers find a clear spot closest to them ! however on occasion I have been to lakes where its busy busy busy with pre booked swims so it's a case of suck it and see 👀
