EASY FISHING Carp Fun On a Float Rod and a Centrepin

Simple fishing for bigger carp on a float fishing rod and a centrepin reel using paste and pellets. A great fun way to catch carp and you get a good fight which is much more fun than dragging the same size fish in on heavy conventional carp gear!

[@easyfishing1936]

I hope this video will help those tackling commercial venues as its deadly and you don’t need a 16 mtr Pole either. But most of all it’s fun! Bill

My Dad bless him loved fishing. He found it relaxing. And he was good at catching them. He brought Cod home. Nice size too. I really miss my Dad he is very special to me.

Ah a welcome sight you are.........I do believe you are a man who has respect for the fish that give you pleasing day.

[@shaunfarrington7361]

Nice video again Bill, what a beautiful sound that centrepin makes when the fish steams off

[@easyfishing1936]

Thanks you should have heard that ratchet scream when I hooked a big mullet, it went of like a bonefish!! Bill

[@boldersa]

Lovely Bill, I do use carp rods when the situation calls for it and I also float fish on light gear for them, there's no comparison fight wise for the thrill and excitement of a close in scrap, I've caught more carp and some of my biggest carp float fishing but you know how it is, if you're not sitting behind 3 rods on bite alarms you are not a carp angler lol. Keep them coming Bill and tight lines.

[@8corsican]

Really enjoyed this one Bill.. many thanks again for taking the time and trouble to make the video and let us share the fun! Looks a lovely spot to fish... good to see you looking so much better!

[@easyfishing1936]

Thank you very much. I did enjoy making this video. Bill

[@cheapshotfishing9239]

This style is making it over to the states! Nothing I love more than spending my weekends on the lake with a pin posted out

[@FishingMadDad]

Great video Bill. Good to see you back on a regular basis.

[@rokhnroll]

I did this myself last weekend carp on the pin and I have to say nothing quite like playing a fish on the pin, I have made a promise to myself this year the pin will be my go to reel so I can improve in its use. I have a 1960's Strike Right paid £10 for it I use it with a drennan puddle chucker 11ft that I paid £15 for, perfect combo.Thanks for posting, that chuckle on the first fish said it all !!

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi so pleased you enjoyed the video. Keep on using that ‘pin. My regret is that I don’t fish fast flowing rivers when the pin really comes into its own. Bill

[@paulbonsey3842]

Lovely, simple fishing. Not a lot of coarse fishing here in NZ. Thank you for bringing back memories.

Well done Bill, They certainly put up a scrap.. That Red Range rod , was well up to the job .. Tight Lines mate,

[@easyfishing1936]

Thanks. That float rod is as good as many others on the market that cost a lot more. Glad you enjoyed the video. Bill

[@keithreeder]

No way on God's green's earth they were doubles, Bill. I'm a huge fan of carp on a pin and float rod - far and away my favourite day's fishing (even though I have to travel 80 miles or more to be able to do it - Northumberland is a coarse fishing toilet) - and a 5lb carp is great entertainment: but in the interests of expectation management for other viewers of your video who might not be familiar with carp that's what these were. No less enjoyable for that - TBH sometimes I'd prefer that size to the lumps that commercial fisheries routinely turn up - but a realistic sense of proportion is no bad thing.

[@michaelovery8388]

thats the beat way to fish,i do it all the time,just love a centrepin 7lb line 5lb hook lenth size 12 ,all on paste, 16 tench yesterday from my club water and 4 carp, up to 10lb all in 4 hours

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi well sounds like you had a great day’s fishing. I don’t use that method very much mostly because of the venues if fish, but on its day in the right day it’s deadly, as you know. Bill

[@lenraby5920]

Nice video mate, with you on what I call commercial sized Carp on float tackle and a pin. Fishing is about having fun and I don’t like heavy Carp gear sitting there all day listening for a buzzer to go off isn’t fun to me. I don’t pole fish either now there is little tactile when playing a fish and erecting enough scaffolding to renovate a house doesn’t appeal to me. I sooner use my centre pin and a strong float rod anyway. I guess it’s because we’re old mate, less tackle is more when you have old legs to contend with. I have the same rod use it for natural pools and canals for Crucian and Tench.

[@richardrichardw9520]

Love your videos Bill and your presentation skills are excellent

[@DBCooper2]

Looked a really nice venue that Bill, in lovely piece of old England. Got used to you mentioning what you’re having for dinner when you get back though lol. Look forward to the next one! 🎣🎣

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi that is a bit bigger but similar to the ponds I grew up fishing in Norfolk. We mostly caught crucians and Rudd tho’, very few bigger carp about then! Bill

[@stuart6412]

[@easyfishing1936]

Well I glad you liked that and I will go back in the future to target the “silvers” Bill

[@francolinobasco]

A perfect bit of fishing there Bill and the pin is hard to beat in my o-pin-ion ( excuse my terrible joke). That rudd was a stunner too, as were the carp.

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi thank you Mark. I love using a ‘pin just don’t get enough chances and I loved the pun. Bill

[@kennethmidwinter982]

Brilliant video sir. I’m 66 and have so much more confidence, especially with 4lb line. Kind regards.

[@felgate11]

I fish for Carp with my centrepins a lot - they take some getting in compared to the pole or feeder but well worth the effort & much more rewarding IMO.

[@tonynapoli5549]

[@devmurrau7487]

At last someone who knows how to fish, not like the method, popups, snowmen , bolt rig etc crowd . Rod, centrepin ... my type of fishing, thanks

[@bawhatever5260]

Thanks!! True statement!! Light tackle!!! Proper fishermen!!

[@jangojango4823]

Nice footage again Bill and to reiterate the comments from others it’s really good to see you looking well. Got to be honest and say I’m not much of a carp fan, or rather I’m not happy that they’ve been stocked into virtually every water to the detriment of our “proper” indigenous species. Still as you’ve proved they do provide brilliant sport and when I do fish for them it’s either like you’ve shown on rod n pin or off the top on simple old fashioned floating crust. I often use carp for perfecting landing big chub and barbel on the float by fishing commercials really fine with 2lb line on an ancient aerial centrepin and my old Normark 2000 Titan - as you know it’s amazing what can be landed with “gentle hands” provided the tackle is balanced. Tight lines mate, keep em coming !

[@easyfishing1936]

Jango Jango Hi glad you enjoyed that! Playing bigger fish on the ‘pin is a dying art unfortunately. I love the direct feel and have taken Carp to high doubles this way. It gives me a sense of achievement catching fish this way. Bill

[@iandavey3785]

Love your style fishing bill. I must admit you can't beat 13 ft with a centerpin, there's just something about it. I like to use a tactic called stret pegging. A peacock quill on a rubber. John wilson used it alot. But yes bill nice fishing mate and some lovely rud and common carp. Keep the videos coming mate. Thanks ian

[@fightingfisherman9690]

Good skills Bill. Never used centerpin but definitely give it try just seem expensive. But I fish like that with pole float close in great fun. Keep up the good videos. 🎣

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi nice to see you enjoyed it. You don’t have to pay a fortune for a ‘pin, this one is from Used Tackle, about £35. Try on eBay etc. Bill

*These are very small, lightweightits **enjoyable.fishing** recommend they’re meant to use with the trout magnet 1/16 oz jigs however they also work great for fishing live bait. My son and I have caught crappie, blue gill, bass and catfish using these for various setups. You can fish slipit style or pinch you line between theit and the shaft for a non slip setup.*

[@kennethmidwinter982]

Brilliant.

[@felgate11]

Can mix Fibre Paste with normal ground bait/paste mix to spin it out. Fibre paste usually comes in small bags & not cheap in the big picture & still makes up to the right stuff!!

[@bawhatever5260]

Centre pin amazing reel for trotting

[@winstonbanks1057]

Bill very good fishing I’d love to come see you soon where are you Next

[@hewittb68]

Easy to make your own fibre paste Bill; A bag of green Swimstim or anything similar plus wheat gluten. Mix 60% groundbait to 40% gluten but you can vary the amount of gluten to suit your required paste stiffness. You may be able to find wheat gluten at your local supermarket or alternatively any decent bait supplier, I get mine from CC.Moore for about £3 for a kilo. total cost less than a tenner for GB and gluten but much more economical in the long term that the pre-mixed fibre pastes.

Hi thank you for that very useful information. Will definately try that. Cheers Bill

Hi there, could you tell me where this pond is. I live in surrey.

[@FishWithBish]

Brilliant video Bill, quality fishing rather than "Easy Fishing" you need proper skill to use the center-pin and a light rod I think it's a skill we have lost in the quest for big fish ,you're right it seems to be just hook em and drag it in now. P.s gave you a shout out on todays video at mins 4.00

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi Bish, and thank you. Well I think it’s an easy technique to master even using a ‘pin. But that is just my opinion. I just want to show people that carp fishing is not all about boilies and alarms! Thanks for the shout. Bill

[@kingfisher8923]

Please provide the exact details of the rod! Thank you very much! Nice video! Master fishing!

[@mm7909]

Really enjoying your videos Bill. I haven't fished for years but watching your channel really is reigniting my interest. How much is a rod licence these days?

[@PoutinePete]

That Carp's face reminds me of Mick Jagger.

[@davidinger961]

My kind of fishing, can't beat traditional methods better than fancy elasticated pole never tire of catching carp wish they were abundant 50 years ago my old dad would have loved that kind of fishing

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi why I agree that this is a great fun way to catch carp it only works at very close range. What I would say is that an elasticated pole is so simple and after all is just a long stick with the line tied to the end, and gives unbeatable presentation and doesn’t cost more than a rod. You can buy a very useable 8 mtr Pole for about £80. It’s not all oil rig seatbox’s and 16 mtr £3000 poles as I have demonstrated on my video’s. Bill

[@easyfishing1936]

david inger Hi further to your comment I wish my dad was still alive to catch fish like that. Bill

[@paulfranciosi647]

I'll be on a bait called c.spice , amazing pop ups paste and boilies proper unreal bait.

[@TheEngurru]

Dear Bill, I really enjoyed your video. I have to say, the best part of the float fishing where your heart skips a beat is when your floater starts to move and disappears under water. Could you you please make some video with one camera pointed to the floater?

[@CB-xr1eg]

Its called a float not a floater.

[@bawhatever5260]

Do you use swing tip or swivel tip when ledger??

[@fishermangunz6156]

Good gear

[@paulm3040]

Don’t need 12 13 14 foot rods. I have a Middy white knuckle 10 ft and it is strong enough for any carp. Can use it for float and feeder. Brilliant
