Carp Fishing ~ Spring Tips (last session before lockdown!)

With Corona virus lockdown imminent, I headed out for my last session before Boris Johnson announced we had to stay home unless it was essential. This video is all about Carp Fishing in spring and my top tops for catching carp at this time of year!

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Thanks mate much appreciated

[@tonykershaw694]

Useful video agen si, mate of mine uses fried mushrooms on the hook and has sucess, says they look like water snails , whats your thoughts on that?

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Never heard of that mate but if it works then why not 👍

[@ChristianD1992]

Another good video. Bit of a random one but do you have any recommendations for getting old reels serviced/maintained? Have 3 Daiwa sportsmatics that my dad used to use before he passed and want to get them serviced. Thanks

[@p.p.8113]

[@Jonsfishingdiaries]

Hi Simon, what rod pod are you using mate?

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Hi mate I use the JAG super compact black pod mate it's the nuts. I had the grey polite before and loved that too. So well made and solid 👍

[@Jonsfishingdiaries]

Brilliant. Thank you, I will check it out. Really enjoy your videos by the way. Only in my 2nd year of my fishing journey and thinking of starting to video my discoveries and learnings to hopefully help others. Your videos really inspire me to do this. 👍

[@addictedtoangling]

Good to see a video from u simon theres not much to be happy about in these grim times so a video certainly cheers us up a question for u mate i know u are a big fan of the withy pool rig and ive saw u doing a video on tying a boa rig but have u ever fished with mr reynards other famous rig the hermit rig cheers mate stay safe and healthy

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Hi mate cheers for your comment. Yes I've used the hermit and quite like it but these days I prefer a fairly simple set up most of the time as I've found complicated rigs don't really improve catch rate for me. I quite like the look of the Nora rig that's just been posted on the gardner channel but the all do the same thing tbh 👍

[@CarpCrewScreamers]

Great watch again Simon, good tips for spring fishing.. Glad you managed to get on the bank before complete lockdown, we're itching to get back on the bank, fingers crossed this virus does one so we can all get back on the bank.. Stay safe fella, tight lines and wet nets from all of us at the Carp Crew Screamers.. 👊👍🤞🎣

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Cheers mate you too 👌

[@destobin4425]

So frustrating not being able to go fishing,Trip to Horsehoe cancelled,trip to West of Ireland cancelled, Grrrrr😩. Crazy times,but at least we've vlogs like this to keep us going. Keep safe Simon,see you on the other side 👍🏽 P.S The geese telling each other the latest news on Covid 19 😂

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

I know mate I've cancelled a three day trip in May and a France trip in June also got a few trips later in the year that are now uncertain. Hopefully things get sorted soon 👍

[@robertcapewell2788]

Great Vlog Simon, Bad luck no fish, STAY SAFE, See you soon

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Cheers mate you too 👌

[@paullawrence8572]

Nice one Si as usual mate, wouldn't mind sitting in the pissing rain and wind now!😁 Don't think I'll moan again about that mate. Stay safe Si.

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

It's frustrating mate stay safe 👍

[@davidfisher7541]

No fishing for anyone for at least 3 months but great tips

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

I know it sucks hopefully won't be as long as that but we'll see 👍

[@stevengrice3775]

Hi Simon, Another informative video, I’ve watched all of them and put some rigs and tips into my fishing 👍 I noticed you said carp are warm blooded in the video like us, I think they are cold blooded. They use the sun to moderate their temperature.

[@stephenmachin9344]

Thank you once again lot of useful information, stay safe.

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Cheers mate and you 👌

[@briancox144]

Nice video Simon when we get out again iam going for a week

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

@@stoff4963 cheers fella 👍

[@jimclarke5049]

Check the e.a rules re distance btween rods mate its 3m i think btween left n right hand rods

[@jasonsmith6615]

absolute disgrace to fishing and all the anglers doing there think to protect our NHS and if it's not bad enough going fishing you go to the supermarket .. come on your putting people at risk due to your own selfish needs

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Did you read the title or watch the video fella?

[@briansilver6196]

Lol read the title dude 😷
