Great video! I've seen pond koi carp spawn every month during the summer months. It might be the same for some wild carp? Don't know though.

Will you be making any one ounce sinkers for 2025? The reason I ask is where I live there are man made pounds that are stocked with fish and a two ounce sinker is to big,thank you for making this videos I have learned a lot from them.

Good stuff... Thanks!

Question for tom/ what is your favourite bait for carp fishing?

You did a better job than I would have.

I think ricecrispy bars would be good hook bait

Do those spring feeders hold up at all?

I think you’re right about the otter. They tend to be wasteful, lol. In case you might not already know, mussels have an interesting life cycle. Those mussels are called Giant Floaters, and live in lakes and backwaters of rivers. They brood their eggs in special chambers in their gills. After the female lays her eggs in their gills, they become fertilized and develop into larvae. The female continues to brood the larvae until she releases them into the water in kind of a web-like structure. The larvae must come into contact with the right fish species and (in this case with Giant floaters) attach to the fins of the fish host. There the larvae hitch a ride and develop their internal organs using the nutrients in the fish blood. Once development is complete on the fish, the baby mussels break loose and fall to the bottom and begin filtering feeding. So Giant Floaters have a variety of fish they use as hosts. Some mussel species have very specific host fish species they use. But Giant floaters use bluegill, bass, catfish, and several other fish species to complete their life cycle. But carp do not work as hosts for mussel species in the U.S. because they did not evolve together. But I don’t hold that against them, lol. Thanks for all your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you. I’d love to go fishing with you sometime. I’d take you out on my boat if you ever head down this way. I fish the Missouri and Osage rivers mainly in central Missouri. Best Regards, Andy (I’m a freshwater mussel biologist from Missouri and a fellow carp angler).

Already subs, winter here also have temp 29*C in the day and 19 at night central Thailand . ❤

Rumrum

Oh oh Problem 😉🇩🇪🌲🔔🍀

Great video again Tom. Caught a big carp on pop up floating rig in the belly fin this fall, was like pulling in a tire. Still fun but took a lot longer to land. Usually the sucker fish that occasionally snag.

At least you caught some nice fish before it all fell apart. Thanks for the video.

That's my experience with grass carp. Pull them in like a dog on a leash until the realize they are in the net. Then its a mud and water explosion. My net hand!e is only five foot long so I wear a lot of muck on me. That belly snag is a strange one.

Hey tom i bet you get alot more carp bubble trails after they eat that chili bean pack .😂

Call me a big sissy. There are certain things I don't like hooking..frogs are one of them. But they do work well for many species.

It definitely works but the problem is now you’re breathing through two layers instead of one so I’m kind of choking on it

Now I am on the right video. Very interesting how different fish reacted to the bait. Underwater pictures were as clear as can be. Nice day of carp and cats. Keep the underwater pictures coming. Thanks for another interesting video.

Wish Okuma would incorporate a screw in handle on their baitfeeders. I despise a hex key handle. All the manufacturers are missing the boat with their quiet baitfeed drags. Make it a clicker.

All I can say is what a GREAT fish and I am very happy for you

can you make the pack bait the night before? Or does it have to be the day of?

Does the hot sauce tiger nuts keep the turtles from eating your hook bait. I have a real problem with them eating my nuts

Sewer bass!!!

Great video, I enjoy seeing the underwater footage. I get little taps on my rigs and would be cool to see whats going on. Fishing has been slower this year, but I used your oatmeal/cream corn pack bait and caught a 29lber, thanks!

I really enjoyed the camera rod today. It really gives you good idea of what exactly is going on down there. That little lake has a lot of catfish. Really nice water color & good clarity. 🙂👍

Good video

Definitely need to try that hack with my camera! So far, I haven't gotten a carp to show on mine, but have been photobombed by sunfish 😂

is that a gallon zip lock or a 2 gal you use to mix the pack bait in?

Thanks for video, I probably take up carp fishing this spring for fun and bbq.🐟on

👌♥️

Another awesome video Tom!

Great editing! I’m watching now on the bank at 9:52am in hopes to land a lake record. Hate to gloat but it’s 70 here in North Texas. 😅

Blue sky, comfortable temp and the sound of Redwing blackbirds in the background. Great treat on this stormy, wet day. Thanks Tom and I hope you have a great Xmas.

Camera very cool fascinating really. Thank you for the effort. Question...observing the difference in fish handling between species. Are carp fragile?

Are you going gym?

Watching the video while the PNWet Coast is getting nailed again.

Are those 15ft offshore anglers? I have pulled in 30lb reds with those

Even has a carp picture on hos back wall to represent well.
