Margin Carp Fishing On The Float - Specimen Series

Carp Fishing but Specimen Series style!
Phil decides to take a trip down memory lane to showcase the effectiveness of float fishing for big carp! A forgotten tactic by many but there’s nothing more exciting than fishing in the margins, float fishing right under the rod tip, lift method style.
Join Phil at the lovely Alderfen complex, the perfect venue for this style of fishing, with its abundance of back bays, reedy corners, and lily pads. There's quite a few highs and lows in this episode as Phil battles against challenging weather conditions, cagey carp and hookpulls, showing you just how effective this "old school" approach can be.

This is how my grandfather learned me how to fish when I was seven. I'm 42 now and having fished for tons of species all across Europe, I still seem to enjoy this the most. So simple, yet so rewarding. I'm going out to teach my son how to fish on the float next week. Probably my favourite trip ever.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

The simple tactics are often the best 👌

[@steve00king]

Now thats proper fishing for carp as it should be done! Excellent

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thank you Steve, glad you enjoyed the episode 😊

[@JR-gk7nc]

Without doubt my favourite way of fishing for carp, even over floater fishing. Something special about watching a float bob and weave before it rips away

[@lb2084]

Fantastic video Phil this is my favourite way to catch carp . A few pellets in the edge a nice big earth worm for bait . Easy simple fishing

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Simple fishing is often the best fishing 👌 Regards Phil,

[@dmtstuff]

Albert Buckley would be proud of you Mr spinks 😊

[@richpeas1924]

Great video Phil, enjoyed that. absolutely love this type of fishing, nothing better then watching the reeds twitching, dropping the bait in, gets the heart racing!

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thank you Rich, a challenging trip this time 🫢 Glad you enjoyed it 😊 Regards Phil

[@olafkunert6368]

I caught most of my carp with lift method and paste. And after some years of bolt rig fishing with boilies I decided to go back to this. Works great!!!

[@denisprosenc5676]

Great video! Thank you and greetings from Germany.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

Awsome video Phil. I love waggler fishing i find it very theroputic watching my float catchin all mixd species on a nice hot day🎣

[@AnglingDirectTV]

The only thing better than the appearance of a float is the disappearance 👌 (Quote from Chris Yates I believe) Good luck with your fishing Phil,

[@chrisponsford1327]

Really excellent ,Phil ,you are a complete natural angler and presenter ,well done ,.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Chris, Thank you for the kind comment 😊, hope you're keeping well? Regards Phil

[@ToeJamAndEarl1977]

The best Carp ive caught have been fishing on the surface with light tackle. 10 to 15lb Carp are just so much fun.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Sounds like great fun 👌

[@ChrisM-gu6ty]

Another great video Phil 😊

[@rockdogization]

a great video phil...fishing the lift for carp..i fished it in my teens and still fish it now...we call it catching carp the proper way in my neck of the woods...cant beat the buzz..ya get when ya hook em! tight lines .......

[@AaronsAnglingJourney]

Brilliant tips thanks 👌🏻👌🏻🔥

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Glad you enjoyed the episode Aaron 😊

[@catalickconverta6823]

I fish like this for the bream on the canal they dont seem to swim away with the bait so a lift bite is perfect to see even with a abit of wind and movement of the water

[@FEddieP]

Love the video thanks. Did Phil consider using a hair rigged mini boilie and wrapping the paste around that to get less hook pulls? Works for me with Chub on a ledger so wonder if it would work with this method?

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hello Eddie, It was odd to suffer from so many hook pulls on this occasion? Maybe the jinx of the camera 😆 But a great suggestion, I've wrapped paste around a hair rigged cork ball before on a hair and it's worked well for Chub. Regards Phil,

[@CarpAndMore]

Well done Phil this was absolutely rollercoaster, very very nice video to watch 🎉

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thank you, after the 3rd hook pull I was nearly ready drive home 🫢😂 I guess it’s good to show the highs and lows of fishing and keep things real 👍 Regards Phil

[@beefsteak8540]

You should keep things like that under your hat ❤ devastating.. I like to wrap my hookbait in boilie paste in the winter time when im single hook bait fishing. Ultimate attraction leaking for hours..

[@Berealwith]

Hi Phil, nice to see you on again, you make my day 😊 I'm having to put the rods up for a while, doctors orders. Keep the videos coming.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thank you for your kind comment again 😊, glad you enjoyed the episode. Fingers crossed you can get back on the bank again soon 🤞 Regards Phil

[@brandonezra4231]

What equipment are you using?

[@garyhiggins4945]

I like a quick change olivette instead of the shot/tungsten, works well and easily adjusted

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Great tip 👍

[@andrewwing5086]

Another great video in the specimen series. Thank the Lord the background music for once didn't sound like someone singing on helium😊

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Thank you Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the episode 😊

[@Liamedwards_angling]

Excellent watch as always phill I’ll be giving this method a try for certain as I highly doubt it’s been used there before so could be a real winner, regarding the 10lb line is that floating or sinking

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hello Liam, A sinking line is better as it prevents the float being dragged out of position in the wind 👍 Good luck Regards Phil

[@crazziet_]

Brilliant video, been trying the lift method recently, really interested if you have any links to the tackle you had in this video? Once again very good video Phil

[@jeremysmallwood-vb7yb]

Would be more exciting with a centre pin reel !

[@AnglingDirectTV]

I nearly spooled the centre pin reel up with some 10lb line 😂 Maybe next time 💪 Regards Phil

[@ChrisM-gu6ty]

Not a fan of the background music

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Can’t always please everyone with music choice, hopefully you enjoyed the fishing 🤞

[@harrisonbarnes6056]

Hi what is that rod you are using

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Harrison, 14 minutes into the video Phil talks through the exact tackle he uses,in case you missed that part here’s a link to the rod Phil was using ⬇️ www.anglingdirect.co.uk/advanta-barbel-twin-tip-fishing-rod?queryID=99e5194c94c6f1eed56a49117449a51c&objectID=107670&indexName=live_ad_uk_products&_gl=1*ygbpzg*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIla_Yn83lhQMVQpVQBh3o3A5gEAAYASAAEgKJyPD_BwE

[@wharfeego]

Great vid - would be even better without so much background music. There seems to be an obsession with adding music to KZbin films - it really isn't necessary. Listen to nature.

[@waynegreen5631]

Brilliant fishing , what’s your favourite line for float fishing 👍🏻🔥

[@AnglingDirectTV]

I've used a few different lines that have all been great. Gardner Hydro-flo is fantastic...Very strong yet supple. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/gardner-hydro-flo?queryID=eae0370a50fdda67578cbe7e61cc2e83&objectID=69321&indexName=live_ad_uk_products Korda Kruiser line, as I often use the same set up that I surface fish with. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/korda-kruiser-control-line?queryID=3fcf2e482cf5ec6f3fa4d3e854bcb035&objectID=23539&indexName=live_ad_uk_products Maxima Chameleon, tough as old boots 👌 www.anglingdirect.co.uk/maxima-one-shot-chameleon?queryID=2d43788e0718d622fca8cc14a42e4db8&objectID=23297&indexName=live_ad_uk_products Hope this helps Phil

[@joeking57]

Ur a great angler mate... But ur hook choice is the worst.. Stop using korda they are awful

[@garyhorton704]

What do you use, out of curiosity

[@joeking57]

Definitely not korda.

Nash twister much sharper and stronger
