- This week the podcast welcome “Yateley Legend” and all-round big carp machine Nigel Sharp.
For the real carp fishing connoisseur Nigel’s carp fishing photo album has to be regarded as one of the very best! It features some of the rarest, hardest to catch and finest carp that have ever graced our waters.
Starting back in the early 1990’s Nigel’s talks about how he came to start fishing Yateley after meeting the likes of Ritchie Macdonald years before whilst walking the complex. He started on the Match Lake where despite its rock-hard reputation Nigel set out catching from the start with alarming regularity. He then moved onto the Copse Lake and in true “Sharpy” style he ticked of his targets in a matter of weeks.
His early exploits had led to him not only striking up what would be lifelong friendships with the likes of Terry Hearn and Lewis Read but also, he himself was very much the talk of the carp fishing grapevine after his incredible start. A meeting with Jeff Pink then led him to meet Kevin Nash and join Nash Tackle which was his first entry into the commercial word of angling and sponsorship.
Over to the big boy side of Yateley and Nigel recalls targeting the infamous Car Park lake. There was no change to his routine and unbelievably within 16hrs he had “Heather” (the most famous leather carp pf them all) in his landing net. He went onto catch a host of the A team including “Arfur Tail” or as it was come to be known more commonly in later years “Arfur” which had been on the missing list for a number of years prior to his capture.
Onto the North Lake and Nigel set his sights on “Bazil”. With adaptations in tackle and rigs he once again managed to capture one of the most renowned of tricky carp in just 26 nights.
There were a few more Yateley chapters featuring the Pads Lake and back to the Match Lake but by 1997 he had completed one of the hardest complexes in carp fishing and was onto pastures new.
Still to this day one of the finest fish that swims in the UK has to be the Burghfield Common. Nigel thought that it would be another one he could tick off his list in a relatively short period of time initially, how wrong he was. Burghfield being a big vast expanse of broken channels, islands, back bays and islands proved a much more challenging prospect. Of course, Nigel caught fish from the start but despite feeling like he lost the common early in his campaign it would be five years until that incredible moment finally occurred. We will leave that incredible episode for Nigel to tell in his own works but at 50lb+ the capture was breath-taking in so many ways.
Finally, Nigel speaks about writing his book “Living The Dream”, his fishing now and also about his thoughts and opinions on carp fishing now. There’s simply so much history that we are sure to get him back on to talk about some other incredible captures which we simply didn’t have time to discuss.
If you like carp fishing history, incredible angling and an insight in to exactly what it takes to be top of the game then look no further.

Why not try headsets with mics on so the audio isn't as ropey ,at least with a mic on a head set on the guest , the clarity would be the same all the way through the broadcast... rather than up and down like it has been on more than one of these podcasts🙄,,, it spoils it for all us watching the volume being up and down and headsets would be a simple cure 👍
Great interview with a proper carp angler. Doesn't give it the bigun just lets his fish do the talking. I've got alot of respect for Mr Sharp.

@@Jamie-1709 are you related to the late Stanley Unwin or is it some secret code?
@@johnburton894 that is the result of falling asleep whilst watching your phone
@@Jamie-1709 RRRRR I understand now (zzzzzz). Mr Sharp isn't the best orator in the world far from it. You can leave that to Chris Yates and a few others.
Another priemer league angler on the nashy podcast , over 3 hours of excellence by nash 👌
😢😮😮
Top angler...legendary captures!
That Burghfield story was so captivating I forgot where I was ❤
Love the podcast but this really does highlight what sets anglers like Nigel and Terry Hearn apart from us humans. The Yateley story was insane, I never realised he nailed the star stock so quickly. Shows that time invested being there fishing or not is never wasted.
he fished it the first ever year there was no close season. That was a huge advantage. Not saying it wasn't a great achievement but fishing in the first season they abolished the closed season can't be overlooked
Please pl

Brilliant lads. 👏
Great podcast one of the most under rated greats in fishing
Loved this 👍🏻👌🏻
Great listen, inspiring
I reckon if Hassan put some shades on he’d look like Roy Orbison ! 😂
3 hours of entertaining excellence when are you getting Terry Hearn on that’s the big question?
Never .i bet
Terry left Nash on bad terms when he went to Dynamite from Nash Bait.
Terry's stories are the only thing that sets him apart from the likes of Briggs,lane ,penning oz and afew others ,tel gets right into the emotions us anglers buzz off it's as though were with him on his adventures .
Awesome 👏
Legend 🤙
Very good podcast bigup nige
Best Ever!!
Better than any 30lb carp!
My best has been 3.1lb for the last 20 odd years.
That’s a monster Top job mate
That must have taken hours and many hands to delicately place those headphones onto Hassans head
Brilliant
A cool customer!! Does anyone else’s album top Nigel’s…. Only Tel surely comes close…
Theres loads of anglers with albums more impressive than tels, try lane ,Briggs,penning or oz to name a few ,its tels story telling that sets him apart from the others pal 👍
What can I say about this podcast, absolutely brilliant, so many big pedigree carp caught.
Great podcast 👏 👌 how amazing would it be if you could terry hearn on 🤞🤞🤞
Best podcast so far !! Nigel is a great man ! Well done Hassan and Nigel 👍
This will be thrillingly..... I watched them all... but this 1 could be 1 tone
Nigel let's his fishing do the talking...
Loved every minute of Nigel Sharp interview 👌
Blokes a legend amazing as always Hassan from disabled friendly fishing tackle 👍
I agree 👍🏻🦅🎣
Greet..❤️
At what timestamp does he shows his rigbag??
Brilliant podcast, big respect for Nigel!! 👌 Slightly off track, has Mark Pitcher's future wife got a sister, I'm sure there was a resemblance there with Nigel's better half? 😳
Great angler remember Terry hear saying if it swims and nige is after it its in trouble
Megea interview awesome angler 🎣🐋
Please fix the sound!!! Nigel’s voice dips in and out all the way thru the pod!!! Other than that great interview.
Yup. In headphones it sounds terrible. They have expensive microphones and acoustic tiles but get shite sound
Mr tar tells us this mans up to no good 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤫🤫🤫
And who is this bloke in the intro 😂
For me With regards to fish spawning the fishery should close for a minimum of 2wks. I personally don’t want to fish for any fish at this time .
two of the carp pictures are out of sync with what they are talking about. dear oh dear!
Top draw
You heard him say gary at nash was rolling besoke boilies for him..... i hope you noddys take that in
Why call people noddies
@@rdgrdg1632 it was either noddys or idiots 😅😅😅😅 noddys was the nicer out the 2 😅😅😅 but seriously all top fisherman make there own bait fresh
@@billoddy1645 in your opinion what makes them top anglers and not Noddy's as you call them
@@rdgrdg1632 like you said its 'my opinion' and thats all it can ever be.... an opinion
@@billoddy1645 I guarantee you hearn lane Sharpe because the are the elite haven't made their own bait for years on yateley in the 90 s they were on Nash bait get your facts right and on Horton Laney and his gang were putting mainline freebies in by the ton
Nigel actually worked for his fishing unlike some sorry to be negative but most of the so called legends were dole boys
Someone’s bitter 😂
You had a ticket fish whatever lake you want too many bully's in them days fact
Whats santa and my sex life got in common???
We only come once a year!!😢
Heard it all already on Gardner podcast. Do some research before ya get a guest on that’s just done a podcast. Or at least ask somthing different.
Very privileged anglers what did you all do to pay your way in life any competent angler given free bait could have done what all you lot did sadly some of us had to work
Not bitter just jelous
