Big CARP diary - April 2024 vlog

My first vlog for a couple of months, takes us to my 30-acre Lincoln syndicate where I've been grafting away in the harsh weather conditions, trying to get amongst its impressive carp stock. The film includes UK carp over 40lb, plenty of on-the-bank chat, a few moans, stunning scenery and an insight into some new bits of kit.

Crowy you’re right! Turning up in someone’s swim at that time is poor! You are totally correct calling this out. 👏👏👏

[@SimonCrow]

Top man 👍

[@stupotbot]

Great vlog....as usual....lovely strain of carp in there. More should be said about carping etiquette.....6am is for mates only!...Cheers Si, keep catching mate 👍👍 .

[@SimonCrow]

I agree, it’s a dying thing

[@AaronsAnglingJourney]

Well said Simon I agree with you on the swim privacy too 👌🏻 and top angling and great video

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks mate

[@thegoodwithin5984]

Totally agree with you seamen fisherman etiquette if the bivvys are a rocking don’t come a knocking

[@Thelastviking95]

One of only a few people I can watch and genuinely enjoy, great video Simon! Top bloke

Thank you mate 👍

[@trevcornwall8160]

Some lovely kippers there Crowy! Yes I agree 6am coming into your swim to see whats going on is just not cricket 😄

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks Trev, hope you’re well mate 👍

[@trevcornwall8160]

@@SimonCrow all good mate thank you! Hope you're well too!👍

[@davidblow7904]

Enjoyed the vlog crowy - love to know a bit more about your tactics - how you’re baiting - spomb or stick etc, how much, fishing spots or just casting at shows? You seem to approach things sl different to most so would love to get an insight into your thinking and tactics 👍

[@southgateclean]

6am....serious breach of etiquette. Great video.

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers dude 👍

[@ChrisJarvis-rd5yp]

You are totally right no respect and etiquette, some people in modern day Carp Fishing have no idea, keep up your fantastic videos you are a top man

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks for watching Chris 👍

Allways a pleasure to watch your blogs some cracking fish.

[@johnroman4608]

Good watch Mr. Crow. 🎣👏🏼 I can’t help but agree with ur style of fishing - using bank bank sticks. I find it more versatile than a pod ..very true - For me I fish to escape people / life especially - & yes the Mrs too 😜😜😄 ! 👌🏻👌🏻👏🏼 ..

[@SimonCrow]

Nice one John 👍

[@zebedeevlogs32]

Yep some right spanners out there...ive even had them asking if they could "borrow" some bait!

[@JohnH11]

Enjoyed that Crowy! Also, couldn't agree more re unwelcome visitors / wake up calls 🙂

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks John 👍

[@NickBabington]

Great vlog as always. I’d say if someone’s in their bivvy don’t disturb at any time of day. If they’re up and about and say hello it’s ok to stop for a chat, if they want to

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Nick

[@MarkWatsonCarpCast]

Great viewing as always and great fish.. 6am is still the middle of the night to me!!!!!😜

[@SimonCrow]

I agree mate…far too early 👍

[@stevecassidy6292]

6am is a liberty. Unless you're up an they can see you. I'd say 9ish is about right. Great episode tho Simon

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Steve

[@davehowarth1248]

Another great vid Simon, keep up the good work and looking forward to the nxt vid 👍🎣

[@mrcarpman]

As it’s always worth waiting for 🙌🙌

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers dude

[@jamesgrant9372]

Totally right about the 6am visit, no etiquette or consideration for other anglers or in other areas of modern life anymore😢

[@rickytaylor8727]

Crowy your a legend, hit the nail on the head with how you handled the situation and reminding peeps to use common sense and also highlighting that a big portion of people just wanna be left the f alone!!!!ps im officially redacting your apology cos i dnt believe bell ends deserve aplogies

[@SimonCrow]

lol mate love it

[@CarlBingham-bm3bi]

And I was going to ask for Manton tips at 5am tomorrow too! Great vid as always

[@davefreercarpangler]

Lovely video Simon, yep I've had it at 6 am too, on a day ticket water where the swims were pea gravel, I was woke up to someone moving it around with their feet to wake me, I jumped out the bivvy and a guy said "what time you off" there was a few choice words after that

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Dave 👍

[@carpergolfergaz29]

Great vlog si and some cracking carp caught and yep 6 in the morning is a piss take 😮

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Gaz

[@reknaw1969]

Some nice fish there simon. Ive had the same thing with somone shaking my bivvy at 7 in the morning and asking if im leaving that day.They got told to do one in no polite way possible.Then asked me if im ok cause i seemed grumpy.

[@SimonCrow]

Sounds like my wife…she always calls me grumpy 🤣

[@MarkSexton887]

It’s a BIG thumbs up.from me,once again.👍🏻

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers Mark 👍

[@jameskenny9451]

Enjoyed that Crowbar good watch 👌

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers pal

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

Awsome video Simon. some mega fish🎣 agree very rude goin into somones swim 6am if there tired. i only doit when thinkin of changin swim having a walk round midday

[@SimonCrow]

Nowt wrong with doing it at sociable times 👍

[@BIGGGESTAL]

You are 100% correct.

[@waynemasterman8274]

in my opinion it does not matter what time it is if your inside bivvy keep away if your outside wait fo a nod or a morning before bothering anyone but 6am is a piss take

[@HadgeMalone]

I agree with you about time. Old skool etiquette

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

If they don't know your awake anytime is out of order, people work nights or stay up to listen to fish etc. It's about respecting peoples personal space...

[@bradhorner1358]

Well Done Si just Brilliant As Always need a trim Fella

[@SimonCrow]

Too much time on the bank mate, it needs another trim today lol

[@derrencooke6479]

Top vlog as ever Crowy (I still prefer it when you were in print back in the early 90s on Birch ...one from under the ice etc)...as for the etiquette...No way would they be getting an apology...more likely a mug full of pish thrown on them...so ..in short..I preferred the level of etiquette back then too.👌👌

[@SimonCrow]

Thanks Derren 👍

[@derrencooke6479]

@@SimonCrow Some absolute clonkers there too...as ever...and through a seriously wet and bloody muddy beginning to a year, it makes the rewards sweeter and even more deserved. Tight lines👍

[@stevecooke9781]

Yes totally agree with you mate . my mate was at dream lakes the other week and got woken up at 6am in the morning by John lilly tapping him om the head asking him when he was going lol even stepped in his bivvy with muddy boots on 😂

[@SimonCrow]

lol John’s a legend 🙌

[@TUT-TUTT]

6am is out of order I would of told them to F off aswell they need to have respect. Some good fish there wow well done 🎣

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers dude

[@DjDolHaus86]

Hell, even if I'd got the biggun in the net and I needed a photographer I'd have my reservations about going into someone I didn't know's swim before 9AM out of basic politeness. I'm not a morning person, I know what it's like, I'll help anyone who needs a hand without too much grumbling but expect death stares if you just want a chat before I've had my second cup of coffee

[@SimonCrow]

Spot on pal, totally agree 👍

[@mrcarpman]

That’s ok, we can wait 🤣👍👍

[@tobyb8275]

Perhaps that would make a great video, carp fishing etiquette the do’s and dont’s.

[@SimonCrow]

I agree 👍

[@timchilds9673]

Si to right👍 I can remember being on a certain cheshire boating lake and a guy walked into the swim a couple of us were fishing at first light, 5am...His first words out of his mouth were "wen you going lads" 😮 surfice to say he got a frosty response😡 🔔 end.

[@SimonCrow]

5am is outrageous mate 👍

[@lukepicken]

I remember when someone knocked on my bivvy door at Farlows at 7am asking when im going. Fuck off! On a syndicate is really bad

[@SimonCrow]

Agreed 👍

[@ridley20]

Your 💯 right if you can’t see them on there peg then don’t go on there peg anytime of day that’s my saying

[@BIGGGESTAL]

Great angling😂

[@nickmay2925]

Always the best vlogs, I remember loosing it big time at 5:30am with another angler wanting to cast over my lines, couldn't even open my eyes but he got a fair amount of mouthful of verbal and disappeared 😂

[@SimonCrow]

lol mate. I just don’t understand some folk, they have no consideration for others 👍

[@mussim2919]

Love the video! What's your setup? Rod brand, how much lb line? Thanks

[@SimonCrow]

Cheers, 13ft Avid Elevate rods

[@TufftykeGundogs]

Having spent a quite a long period out of the game one thing that has been glaring obvious to me is that carp anglers etiquette is no longer a thing. When did this happen..?

[@roccomoss35]

Agreed , 6am is a piss take . Some people have manners or etiquette at all. Bellends mate

[@SimonCrow]

Couldn’t agree more mate

[@jasonpoyner5035]

Great video,and happened to me last year,and I told him the same f off

[@philpot9261]

6am they would end up in the lake with concert boots on 😂😂😂

[@SimonCrow]

lol mate

[@user-vr3xr8le2p]

No mate i agree totally, i hate it when people wandering who i dont even know you can be zipped up letterbox style and they still wake you up,they get the same response fair enough if your outside your bivvy ,i never bother anyone unless i see them outside then i dont always talk unless i know them,its really rude i think aswel.

[@SimonCrow]

Totally agree with you mate 👍

[@leevermiglio8701]

6am just for info, have a walk and remember to have some manners 🎣

people just don't want to do there own graft these days..

Nice one si as for swim invasion piss off is answer they’d get, doesn’t matter what angler has caught seen etc your not getting in that swim so go use your water craft every day is different . No etiquette no manners and no water craft . Unless the kettles on have a chat but stop with the info milking fishing is so much more Moan over keep em coming mate

True words Lee, cheers mate 👍
