- in 2019 we decided to put one of the UK's top carp anglers (Rob Hughes) up against one of the UK's top match anglers (Andy May) on a popular day-ticket runs water (Drayton). The aim was to settle one of angling's most age old arguments of whether a match approach would beat big carp style tactics. Andy May uses the Pellet Waggler while Rob concentrates his efforts on zig fishing. Who's your money on to win? Watch the video and find out...

Andy May is a nutcase, love watching his content he has me in stitches every time.
Two of the nicest blokes in the fishing trade having fun what a pleasure to watch 😂🎣
Great video lads! I must admit, I actually love fishing both of these tactics. All depends on your mood really. I feel more confident in carp fishing then I do in match though but theres nothing better than fighting a double figure fish on lite tackle :)
Flip flops rule, great video lads,I fish zigs alot and get a great deal p---ss taking which I enjoy I hope angler's take note it's a great tactic. Once again great video 👍
thank you Frank
I thought Andy would be out of his depth but no the man smashed it.
Nice one Andy.
Out of his depth? He's a quality angler and has far more strings to his bow than the commercial fisheries he's famous for.
A great video from Andy and Rob, great camaraderie as usual and plenty of fish, Drayton has changed since I was there it used to be a rough track and rocks on the dam wall, a big improvement 👍👍
Lovely video guys. Very interesting seeing the different approaches between match and carp Angling.
However both styles catch fish and take the best parts from each other.
Thanks Steven
This video is absolutely fantastic 1 of the most entertaining videos ever done on fishing with two of the best people in angling,Pure entertainment andy and rob going head to head match tactics against big carp tactics i have fished Drayton many times it's a hell of a water seen many poles shattered there i would never fish a pole at Drayton i use pellet wagglers and the old map rocket feeder the carp love these map rocket feeders they hammer at it there not spooked by it what so ever watching rob bag a fish on match gear then andy bagging on big carp gear was really excellent and so entertaining thank you rob and andy and DYNAMITE BAITS for the video awesome i never leave home without my favorite bait Dynamite BAITS simply awesome bait THANK YOU ALL,para
thank you for your kind comments and we're glad you enjoyed it :) we loved making this one too
Nice to see the banta side for a change not new gear , great content
thanks Ash
Great entertainment, you guys are naturals in front of the camera , good tips too
Great video, great fishing, great guys!👏👏👏👍
What a watch cracking banter between you both and some good tips and hints
cheers Albie glad you enjoyed it
At least I didn’t come dressed up as an actual hedge 😂 brilliant
Very interesting really enjoyed seeing the Carp guys approach
Enjoyed the video, very well done, I think Andy May would be a great presenter on tv fishing programes aimed at getting youngsters into fishing.
That was awesome it would be really good to see match and carp angler's swap more often. great video guys please do some more swapping on different tactics.👍👍👍
“Proper lovely fish to start the session” lol that’s Drayton for you
Head like a shovel 😂😂
Great video guys. As a Carp angler I have over the last couple of years used a method feeder and been very successful with it. I have caught some decent fish up to 20lb that I would have not caught using traditional carp tactics when switching to a method feeder. I have even used PVA and method feeder at the same time and the method feeder has on many occasions been more successful.
Lots of carpers including some in our ranks have started using some of our match baits and ideas and tactics from the match world. Match guys meanwhile have taken lots of specimen carp ideas onboard over recent years. All food for thought. we can all learn from each other.
That was an unreal video 🎣🎣👊
Cracking, thanks lads!
Great video, always happy to try something new is Andy. Oooosh
cheers sam
Hi guys, great stuff and very enjoyable to watch, please do more.
Thanks Sean we will do our best
Absolutely brilliant, I've just come across this video and I loved it. Two top blokes and anglers who know what there doing in there respective professions. I actually do both styles of fishing and I love them both. And when you think about it there not actually that different!! 🤔 For example when I go carp fishing for 4 or 5 days at a time, My preferred method is solid bags, which is not a lot different from when I go feeder fishing and use a feeder rig!! 🤔 Also when I'm using a zig rig its not actually that much different then when I use a waggler etc, etc Anyway for me both types of fishing are great and very enjoyable and I believe that is the main thing 🙂 For me it is not a competition!!, Which ever one you prefer, do it, and if you enjoy it than that is the main thing. 👌👍👊 tight lines and be lucky 😉
Excellent video, really enjoyed it, hope to see much more 👍🎣💪
thanks Chris we will do our best
Well done guys. Very very entertaining 😂. OOOOOSH
Fantastic video guys, really enjoyed the comparison between the methods🖒🖒🖒
thanks Jason glad you enjoyed it
Nice one May vs Hughes.....Great battle and good tips, Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing Dynamite 👍🎣🐟😎
thanks Matt, more to come :)
Great video, really enjoyed that 👍
Great video, good incentive to try both technics
this is probably one of the best fishing videos for entertainment on you tube right now, defo made me want to get on the dynamite :)
thank you Lewis glad you like it
😂😂😂 #andymay is a bundle of happiness!!! lol always smiling and having a laugh!!! Great fishing guys!!! I think the moral of the story is how ever you want to fish for bigger carp is any way you enjoy!!! Very entertaining watching both anglers…..great tips and a lot of learning!!!
Can you tell me what the music used at 13.19 and later is please?
Nice episode guy's
BOOM .. OOOSH! Great entertainment guys. Fished there a few times absolutely full of real monsters, why haven't I been recently? Got to put that right.
Brilliant video! These two are bloody hilarious!
Andy reminds me of Paddy Mcguinness .. let the pellet see the ooosh.
Good watch Rob, I enjoy the outside and watching sunset, And sunrises it's not just about the big uns for me. Iv been lucky enough to catch um in the UK to 46.8 and that was a fantastic feeling, But on the same note iv fished the river Wye an had 90lb bags of barbel and had the same kind of buzz, I think if your a true angler an not a glory hunter you'll understand it
Fantastic guys
thanks Ian
Really enjoyed this video very interesting boooom oouushhhh!!!
Thanks Shane
Cracking video
So many true gents in fishing. Other sports could learn a lot.
Would love to see andy may have a surface carp bash on my local club match lake in mid summer he would have a ton of fun, fish every chuck with just bread freelined on a size 2 hook.
Awesome video
Awesome guys awesome... cheers Chris & Sam
that was awesome loved it :)
Thank you. glad you enjoyed it :)
Pukka pukka pukka love that great watch
Andy,Andy,Andy legend
Great vid this lads.
thank you
mad twisted line at 28.15 :O
Great stuff really enjoyed that
.
thanks Nick
Damn its 2020 theres adjustable zigs 😂😂😂😂
rob je suis tellement content pour toi que tu sois avec carp spirit!!! j'espère que tu apporteras ton experience via leur detecteurs qui sont à chiés et leur cannes à pêche!! revoit toutes leur gammes en gros xD
Two really nice blokes swapping styles is fine. But these guys are like last of the summer wine.
Great vid would of been nice if Rob shown how he got his 14ft zig out there without tangling it..
Standing on the actual wall on top of the dam wall.
Anyone know the music at 14:41
Hi guys,whats the music at 4.30,great vid
my local res live 5 mile down the road can be great can be awful the condition of the fish had gone massively down hill last time i fished it
Couldn’t agree more, I’ve noticed a lot of the fishes mouth are deformed, probably from people not using landing nets. I’m not sure how true but I heard a lot of the fish got netted because of disease spreading through the lake so stock numbers went down loads
Probably too thin a hook length like a cheese wire/ slicer, inexperienced anglers bullying them in AKA match fishing styleeeeeeeeeee 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
40 yards on a 10mm poking out the water waggler ? He got telescopic vision ?
Brilliant watch @dynamite I thought rob was with carpspirt tho?
we filmed this last year josh before rob joined Carp Spirit. :)
@@DynamiteBaitsTV oh fair enough, was a brilliant watch 👌
@@joshshakespeare8076 thanks glad you enjoyed it
@@DynamiteBaitsTV some good tips in their and plenty of laughs
What a video Great to watch u pair made me laugh ta much
👍
rob can zig rigs work all year round?
Iv only fished that place once..had 350lb of carp in 7 hours lol shame the mouths on most of the fish are damaged
Proper lovely fish to start the session it’s mouth is hanging of 😖
Was this before lockdown?😂
last year we filmed it. the tips and tactics will be the same this year of course
Happy Xmas ?
Could have picked an easier water
I live 5 min from there wish I would of know I would of gone and watched
"There are a few lumps in there, but we don't mind". And guess what, neither do the fish. Never understood why anglers riddle their groundbait, only to then squeeze it into one big lump or mould it around a feeder.
Rob catching these fish has just proven a few lumps does not matter.
When did fishing ,need to be portrayed as a fight/conflict between anglers ? It a gentile past time ffs.
All companies are in on it,Why ? Sick of it!
meant to be abit of light hearted fun mate dont take it to heart
@@tomgoodwin86 No, it's insidious !
@@spatewater 🤣🤣
Get a grip
We have created it as a bit of light hearted fun to show you the two different approaches and so everyone whether match or carp can be entertained. it's not really a rob v andy more a pellet wag v zigs and actually this was the original name of the video.
carp hughes and match may
Andy may in a Bivi next😱😱😂🤣😂🤣💪💪ooooooooooooosh
Negligent discharge. Don’t want one of them with 7.62mm outta SLR. LOLOLOL. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big fans of your channel, if you wouldn’t mind please have a look at my sons fishing channel and let’s us know what you think, he is trying his best and would love to be as good as you guys! 😃
There is one point I as an german carpangler always wanted to ask.
How come that there´s obviously a whole industry. Doing a whole range of stuff considering carpcare.
There´s even an- let´s call it "ethics" of not showing braces.
And than there´s matchfishing. (double figure fish are thrown into keepnets. Thrown into weight.. sacks? Released in masses)
The vid is not showing this.It´s just what came about in my head. After watching Andy and others do matches.
Don´t get me wrong! Love the man. Learned a lot of stuff from him.
Understand me please.
I´m not against it.
Just clueless.
Apart from that: not a wellmade Vid.
Even when in a budget.
You both. Could do better than this.
Double figure fish are not ‘thrown’ into keepnets during a match. They are unhooked in the landing net and lowered into the keepnet. Stop talking stupid
And that's the problem with match fishing..... keepnets ! I dont care if they're unhooked in the net and "lowered in" .... I fished this shit hole once and what I saw made me sick. No respect for the catch at all.
@@kingfisher7687 Ok. I maybe did exaggerate it. But just to make clear.
So.
They all are treated well.
I give you that.
But this was not the point.
Where is the difference between a 15 lbs carp caught in a syndicate (unhooking mat) or in a match (keepnet)?
I mean... creaturewise (don't even know if this is a word)
Hoping I made it more cleary.
And.. I just asked and are willing to learn.
Greetings from the continent
H.
none of you are fishing the best method for drayton , the method feeder float
12lb 😂😂😂
using 2.5lb test curves rods for mid double fish says it all ,numpty brigade carp anglers
Transition from carp angler to match angler... Nah!! ... Match angler to carp piece of pi££..... Yawn..... Mr may enjoy ya chicken dinner😆.... Boi
Annoying
Lame and lamer
