Best carp fishing day EVER

If anybody ever tells you that carp fishing is not exciting, tell them they're doing it all wrong. This was the best carp fishing day ever. It was so much fun with multiple double hookups.
Using worms for bait, and fishing in the Colombo Creek in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia, I managed 5 carp for the afternoon, and I also managed to christen my brand new fishing rod.
Yes carp are an introduced pest here in Australia, and as you can see in the video I did not return them to the water, however just because carp are a pest species does not mean that they are not a stack of fun to catch.
As I get older I am finding myself enjoying carp fishing more and more. Catching carp is great practice at reeling in fish, especially big carp that pull like mad, such as the last carp that I catch in this video.
I am rating this as the best carp day ever for me, just because of the sheer excitement.

@Burnsy fishing and outdoors Yellow Perch and Red Fin, while similar and of the same Genus, are in fact different species. Yellow Perch is Perca flavescens and Redfin is Perca fluviatilis.

[@aidan5720]

glad to see the local wildlife getting rid of this invasive species!

haha didn't they ever! A meal fit for a king ant. LOL

Absolute ripper of a vid mate, love it, keep fishing fun!

[@RKJFishing]

Geez Robbie you're going to find it hard to match that success again LOL. 2 double hook ups that's insane! I would have thought that huge carp would weigh more than 4.5g though haha I think you meant kg! I've never heard of a fish swallowing the sinker before that's crazy.

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha I noticed that when I watched the video. LOL 4.5g. Hahahahaha thanks champ.

Damn that carp is big nice catch robbie good job.

Mate what kind of set up would I need to target carp? I think my current is much too light (Cheap light 6lb set up). Would love to know some more specifics about how to actually target them

[@johnmunk8936]

What rig did you use for this. What line set up and bait

"I have driven straight passed sure fire Murray Cod and gone for Carp". LOVE IT! Wonderful descriptions of your fishing spots. Beautiful spot to fish. Great work!!

[@johnhegarty5194]

Would not have believed it if I didn’t see it 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@ziongite]

The rod being flexible, enables the force on the line to have a more drawn out time, so it's kind of like a force dampener, it doesn't reduce the total force, but it draws it out over a longer period than if the rod was rigid, which would result in the force from the fish instantly unloading on the line and a more likely break of the line.

[@craignielson6605]

Hi Robbie , have you ever tried eating carp , they love them in yankee land , but I tried Cajun carp fillets in green curry coconut sauce , I thought it was good

[@dontsearchthis3479]

Wow that was a massive carp

[@BearGrisham]

Any tips on catching carp feeding on the surface? Also would you use circle hooks when targeting carp or do you think they’re too wide ?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate try fishing with a float. I'm not a fan of circle hooks, they don't suit my style of fishing.

[@BearGrisham]

@@robbiefishing no worries! I’ve seen multiple carp smashing the surface at the same time and only been able to snag them on lures. I didn’t think they would go for lures but I manage to land a few and got busted off as I was running light gear.

[@stevojanceski]

Such an underated fish

[@robbiefishing]

I reckon so too mate. The best fighting fish in freshwater Victoria if you ask me.

Do you ever burley for carp if so what do you use?

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Jeff, nah mate never use burley. I have no doubt it would work well.

I love carp fishing !! ... your my favourite fishing channel... btw there meat ants not bull ants... bull ants are bigger and solid black colour 👌🏽🐐🎣🔥

[@dawnagaller4720]

My boyfriend loves your videos but is sad cause u don't keep slot. His favort fish up he in upstate new York is the trout but hasn't had much luck yet this year. He is heart broken when you go trout fishing he wishes that it was that good here. Keep up the good work. He looks forward to your new videos

[@kotarain9582]

Incredible! This was a very good video! I got excited with you. also very beautiful fishing spot with the reeves growing out of the water. I hope you and your family are doing well. Looking forward to your next video my friend.

[@jefflester4979]

Robbie, fished the competition on lack Dartmouth yesterday.... So many carp in schools on the surface! We'll try some flies and corn over bubbles to make some inroads to help the fishery and have some fun. Any tips on taking surface feeding carp? Lots of follows on the lures, but the carp are taking insects off the surface.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Jeff, I actually find them quite hard to catch when they're up on the surface like that.

[@lyphon1121]

Good vid as always rob!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks buddy.

[@jameslennox4242]

Ripper video mate, can’t believe you got two double hook ups👍👏.always love the bait fishing videos and this one is probably my favourite of your carp videos. Lol a tape measure isn’t a bad item to bring I measure carp, I call tape measures lie detectors lol.

[@robbiefishing]

hahaha The old lie detector. haha Thanks so much for your kind words mate. I must invest in a tape measure. I have heaps of brag mats floating around here that I have collected over the years but they will stink of carp if I use them. (If I can find them) LOL

[@OVTraveller]

Hey, Robbie, fantastic to see you let the fish fight. Been seeing lots of so called fishermen in the US catch bass and all they seem to do is drag the fish out of water if their lives depend on it....what sport is that?

[@jamzov6246]

Well done champ

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks heaps James.

[@PoppinTomaForks]

I always break my new rods in with a carp thanks to my local lagoon 5mins away omg they get big!! best relaxing recreational fishing fish #always keep a can of corn handy!! Excellent video robbie!!

haha I agree 100% mate, not just on the relaxation but on the corn too. LOL I cleaned my car out last week and found 4 tins of corn under the seat rolling around. hahaha

[@michaelatkin2562]

Good video Robbie. Do you ever use carp for crayfish bait?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, not usually simply because when the crayfish season is open in the winter months the carp can be very hard to catch in the depths of winter and I refuse to put the smelly shit in my freezer.

[@matthewmildren5563]

Good on you mate, maybe if carp fishing was marketed a different way, people might start targeting them more.

[@robbiefishing]

Absolutely mate, I agree. Theyre such an underrated sport fish.

[@alexkasacous]

Saw carp on sale at an Asian run fish shop for $9.99 kg on the weekend. I reckon if you sweetened them up in fresh water for a day and then hot smoked them they'd be a great feed.

[@robbiefishing]

MMMM possibly. LOL I have tried them several times and several ways but I struggle with them. LOL

Hey robbie what was the song playing at 8:00

As a fisherman in the UK we target carp trying to get that specimen big one, we kiss them and put them back, I respect your laws and rules on invasive species which is good, I only wish the UK would have the same attitude towards signal crayfish. But Robbie once the carp have bred to those numbers you will never stop them, good luck nice to see you trying. The new rod and reel performed well even though you could do with an extra pair of hands, 2 double hook ups brill. Nice one Robbie

[@robbiefishing]

Hi John thanks so much for understanding. I cop a lot of hate from European anglers. LOL I agreee 100%. One of the guys that follows me on Patreon chooses to release his carp, and I think very highly of him for it, simply because I agree with what you are saying. Anglingf pressure is a drop in the ocean compared to these fish numbers. Think about this creek, it is probably longer than your entire country. (That is no exaggeration), At a guess it is probably several hundred kilometers long with an access point every 20km or so at best. The rest is on remote private property. How could fisherman possible remove all the carp? LOL In Australia it is frowned upon if you put them back, and it is a common misconception that it is illegal. I find it hard to believe that anybody could ever be charged with refusing to kill something.
