  • Each year, I head over to the Isle of Wight for a go at fishing for some unique, scaly mirror carp and rather hefty commons.
    In this piece, I experience a rather wonderful session on a beautiful island that isn't normally renowned for big carp.

    Really Good video like all your films. Great ideas for the coming season and the use of naturals. PS the only kettle you should ever worry about is the one on your wrist !

  • @richardwood160
    @richardwood160 Před rokem

    I had a kettle with a whistle spout which is OK as long as you don't get a take whilst the kettles on for a brew. You become torn between playing your fish and stopping the annoying whistle. I done away with the whistle bit in the end. Nice session for a cold February well done.

    Great vlog and congrats on your own channel. Thanks for not charging us to watch. 🙏.
    A great catch at a very tough time of year 💪and your tip with the mole hill dirt is a banger. Getting them naturals to the deck like that is a winner. I can emagine it clouds up realy well if there's any agitation down there aswell 👌
    The kettle is abit shiny for my liking, but im sure it will look beter after a few seasons 😂
    Keep them coming James. Great content 👍

  • @davidcoates3330
    @davidcoates3330 Před rokem

    Great vlog James , and the fish was gorgeous . The molehill soil is a great method , you could add a little bit of aquarium gravel if you need to get bait down to the bottom quickly ( i.e. river fishing ) . Keep that kettle ; maybe get ' Huxley ' and 'Barley ' engraved on it ? I say 63lb 8oz for your pb 👍
