An American Carp Fishing Experience (Wild Carp Fishing)

The American carp fishing experience is a unique one, as most Americans know next to nothing about wild carp fishing. I was once one of those Americans, but over time I've learned a thing or two on how to catch carp. On this day, dealing with other Americans was the most challenging aspect of my carp fishing. Thanks for watching.

99% of anyone who asks why you're trying to catch a carp has never hooked into one. Not much more annoying than being crowded and obligated to talk when enjoying fishing/nature. Good videos!!!

[@OutsidewithTom]

I agree, thanks Jerome!

[@theastuteangler]

I really like your stuff Tom. Genuine, wholesome, and often hilarious. Good work.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad to hear it, thank you!

[@zahrakhodabande194]

Excellent 👋👋👍

[@Itsme-zk6pg]

Great video as always Tom keep it up man!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Appreciate it!

[@garysmith7832]

I always enjoy watching your videos, I am going carp fishing tomorrow,

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks Gary!

[@ecora]

Same guys everywhere... Greetings from Turkey!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks for watching!

[@drw5252]

You know I have watched quite a few of your videos I have never used I think they call it a method lead I've never used a pack bait but after seeing your videos I think I'm going to try it in about a week or two thank you for the videos you do make they are very interesting God bless you and your family have a good day

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad you find the videos useful, thanks Doyle!

Mantap sekali,rel nya sampai berbunyi kencang,salam mancing di indonesia dan salam 1 fishing

[@fishingwithvance]

Some serious patience right there T. You stuck it out and got the reward. I love the answer "Catfish" I will def steal that one. Getting Carp with no net man makes for a challenge for sure. Enjoyed the video. Fish on.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks Vance, fish on!

[@gamehog2696]

persistence pays off. perfect carp.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks for watching!

[@thatguyfishingben4794]

Good stuff and it never fails someone will mess it up when you have a good thing going. Boats Kayaks and people crowding you. Then basically if you tell them your carp fishing its just as you say. Also when they run like that and you go to set the hook and nothing is there I believe that they are picking up your feeders instead of the hook. It happens to me alot. Thats why in my videos i always wait way longer than i should to set the hook.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks for watching!

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

I ever come to iowa... im going to search you out and set up all over your gear!!!!!! Honestly happened all the time, mostly when I'm walleye fishing, and its boats setting up directly in front of me 20 yards from shore... or some guy will come stand and jig within arms reach... it just amazes me.. I literally told a guy last year that it was good fishing for 20 miles in each direction.. but he didn't get it... just agreed with me and said no doubt

[@OutsidewithTom]

Haha, it really is kinda mind boggling sometimes what people will do.

[@JefesGarden]

Nice fish, Tom. Seems like it made the whole day worth it. It might be time to plant some depth charges for kayak lady! ✌😁

[@OutsidewithTom]

😁

[@wendellkeresztyen7687]

I've got the same shirt! Also, on the subject of soured corn, I'd heard don't like sour corn, but, I caught 3 weeks ago my pb common at 23.5 lbs, so I'd say not all of them don't like it lol.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sounds like the person you heard that from likes to make up stories. Thanks for watching!

[@therealone76t8]

Hey Tom question for you bud.Cat fishing?😂😂😂😂 your reaction is priceless 👍👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

🤣😂

[@dewaldolivier3216]

100 % opposite here in south africa. No one fishes for catfish. The default is carp always. It's not even a question. Very interesting.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yep, it's a different world. Thanks for watching.

[@mattminson864]

Nice catch tom, go Chiefs!!!!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks!

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

The fishing experience is the same everywhere, down here kayaks are relatively rare so you can imagine everyone looking at me like an alien and asking questions when I'm kayak fihsing 😂 then the guys drinking beer or washing their cars at the boat ramp don't get me started on them. Nice carp! Worth the "experience" haha

[@OutsidewithTom]

Washing cars at the boat ramp!? That's a new one.

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

@@OutsidewithTom yeah. Boat ramps here are not as busy as in the states, some of them are barely used to guys will take their cars, couple of buckets and a rag and wash their cars there 😂

[@Bartlomiej_Ciernioch]

Nice vid. I've been fishing for carps for like 15 years now. They are great fighters. When I see people in USA fishing for carp it reminds me how we were starting 15 years ago. If you like i could give you some tricks and tips how to fish them. Just let me know.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Lol, always funny how you guys from other parts of the world think you're so much more sophisticated with your carp fishing. I'm well aware of the over complicated ways other people fish for carp. Thanks for watching.

[@Bartlomiej_Ciernioch]

@@OutsidewithTom We are but that's not the point. Simpler is better. I don't want to offend you. Sorry.

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@Bartlomiej_Ciernioch No worries, I wasn't offended. Have a good one.

[@davidgarcia9808]

have you ever try chicken laying pellets and oats?. Think I will give it a try this year

[@OutsidewithTom]

I haven't, but I'm sure it would work. Good luck!

[@bevaungraves2797]

Love all your videos!!! Curious what "sweet feed" is? Is that like horse feed?

[@bevaungraves2797]

Never mind... found it on another one of your videos. Love the content. Keep em coming please!!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yep, horse feed. Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@bevaungraves2797]

@@OutsidewithTom yep. I have enjoyed them all. Curious if you have found a best ratio of oats to sweet feed? I like to get all my dry ingredients prepped before I go and then add in my sweet corn and cream corn on the bank. Was just curious.

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@bevaungraves2797 I never measure anything, but what I usually do is probably around 85/15.

[@bevaungraves2797]

@@OutsidewithTom ok thanks! Look forward to future videos.

[@samuelgomez4320]

How long do you boil the feed corn for? I’ve been using fake corn and sweet corn as hook bait but sweet corn is to soft and fake corn does the job but I feel it under performs against real hook baits.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJO6e4htrbeFjtU

[@ammaral-samarraie7881]

Tom try fishing with PVA bag 👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

Why?

Thanks for your sharing, can I use chicken feed pellet? thanks

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sure, give it a try.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

Sometimes we attract Carp, sometimes we attract pests. LOL. What are the pellets in your pack bait?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Lol, that's the truth. The pellets in my bait are sweet feed.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

I had not thought of that. Thanks@@OutsidewithTom

[@YoungJosh98]

so i’m gonna be honest today is the first day i’ve ever caught a common carp. and unfortunately it was snagged with a texas rigged 4/0 hook and senko. Either pure coincidence or bad luck but minus the guilt i’m hooked on the power of these fish. I have a new respect for these fish and hope to not have this happen again. as many people consider them invasive i treat fish as a sacred source. You’re the first account i have come across carp fishing and i hope to get into the real process of carp fishing. Originally i thought i caught the bass i’ve been hoping for, 5+ Lbs but when it came ashore i couldn’t misidentify the large scales and bottom feeding mouth. That being said it was only a 4lb carp and i was shocked with the power and endurance. it was released without vital harm and am humbled by the misfortunate situation. may be a dramatic comment but i’m a pure sport fisherman and like to treat fish as comfortable as possible. I appreciate any information it would take to become a more informed carp fisherman.

[@YoungJosh98]

and if it even matters regardless of the final outcome it was a 6’8 St croix mojo bass spinning rod medium power extra fast action with a diawa fuego 4000 with 10lb Vanish Flouro. so obviously not a carp set up.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Carp fishing is a blast! I've got 100+ videos about carp fishing on this channel, so feel free to check them out and copy what I do. Good luck!

[@robertwren8878]

Ha Ha what yer fishing for ? Conoes honey! Stay right there!

[@bryanlandhan8422]

What are the spawning seasons for carp??

[@OutsidewithTom]

Late spring - early summer.

Are the 10 ft ugly stik surf rods heavy as far as weight?

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@jeremydurbin4320 Not sure how much they weigh.

[@jeremydurbin4320]

I should have been more specific Do they feel heavy to carry etc? Are you happy with the rods

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@jeremydurbin4320 Well, they're heavier than a 7ft rod.😁 Yep, I like them.

[@leesagar8651]

Nothing more annoying than others coming near you when the water is pretty much free. I call those the talkers, seen another angler so spot down near you cause they want to yap your ear off while they fish lol

[@OutsidewithTom]

I guess being annoying isn't against the law. 😀

Sorry had too much trouble with people, but nowadays that's part for he course,,,,,,,

Some days are worse than others.
