Hi Chris another enjoyable blog that place will be good in a few years. It was great meeting you in hinders today so thanks for the chat and hope the photo I took is ok.

[@MrCarpking71]

Nice to meet you too buddy. Yeah photo was top notch. Islands does have nice fish now. Just seemed to have the little ones in front of me this time..

[@tjnorton100]

Nice blog Chris, surprised by all the small carp tho, I'm almost in two minds as o have festival and lakeside view close by

[@Reelfishinguk]

Tony has done a great job with that lake by the looks of things. 100% be having a trip booked in on Islands lake soon

[@MrCarpking71]

He has yeah. There are bigger fish in there. I must of had small carp corner.

[@Crispynuggets28]

Love the thought you put into bait and presentation etc, good stuff

[@MrCarpking71]

Cheers buddy

[@waynekeylock]

Great blog mate as always, stunning looking fish to.

[@MrCarpking71]

They are nice. Give it a few years and place will be amazing.

[@jackm942]

Nice blog Chris! In a few years when Islands has matured it will be one hell of a fishery

[@MrCarpking71]

It will indeed mate

[@johnpragnell9311]

Great blog Chris, They may small fish but were in great condition, better than blanking mate. Better than episode 86 that was frustrating to watch and must have really tested your resolve. Keep em coming

[@MrCarpking71]

Cheers mate. Im trying lol

[@machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

Love it mate👍

[@damianjones336]

wading my way through your vlogs, all brilliant, its good to see someone fishing for all size of carp and not just 30 lb plusers , those cc moore live system with a twist " maple 8 " ? do they still do them or any more information on it? cheers

[@MrCarpking71]

Cheers buddy. Not sure on the bait anymore mate

[@MarginMaster97]

Nice video Chris, me and Dave fished it today for 12 hours but the only joy we had was a 4lb Tench for Dave, apparently its been fishing quite hard in the last week or so, tight lines :)

[@MrCarpking71]

Only dale seems to get the better fish these days lol

[@hookedoncarp4514]

Nice video mate, cant wait to try out the krank hooks myself. Tight lines

[@MrCarpking71]

They are good. Cant see many fish being bumped off with them

[@britishfisherman1703]

Those krank hooks are a cross between a wide gape and a curve shank.

[@MrCarpking71]

yep!!

[@britishfisherman1703]

+MrCarpking71 great video buddy

[@MrCarpking71]

+British Fisherman cheers

[@Luke-er1vq]

[@MrCarpking71]

Cheers.

Whats they bivvy of yours like mate, im after a new 2 man with a decent price

[@twentypluscarper]

Think they need to re name that bait maple 8 is a mainline product

[@MrCarpking71]

I was told after session they did call it something else. But dont think it would matter as its not commercially available. Only at the islands.

[@MrCarpking71]

I dont think mainline still do their maple8 anymore tho do they?? Ive not seen it for years!!

[@twentypluscarper]

You can get it from them direct if you order in bulk i think but think they have a trade mark on the whole 8 thing i think

[@MrCarpking71]

twentypluscarper I think islands calls theirs malt-teaser now??

[@twentypluscarper]

Hahaha quality

[@slinkysaddler]

No its not realy is it.. as a specimen hunter you are hunting just that.. its your blogs you can do what you want im just giving you feedback.. doubles are ok. But them fish in this blogs are just daft seen bigger fish on the pole...

[@MrCarpking71]

Mate you have obviously not watched me enough and know not enough about me and my fishing!!! I fish for any fish. I enjoy my fishing weather im catching 2 pounders or 30 pounders or even tench. Fishing for me is all about the fun of the sport. Not just hunting only big fish. Watch more of my blogs and you'll understand that.

[@MrCarpking71]

Have you for example even seen my blogs where I use barbel rods for carp fishing so im enjoying the fun of playing smaller fish??

[@MrCarpking71]

Im not a specimen hunter. Im a fun lighter hearted social angler. If if specimen hunting blogs you want then your watching the wrong person!!

[@slinkysaddler]

Would not bother even showing them fish.. come on step your game up and get fishing with a bigger stamp of fish..

[@MrCarpking71]

Fish is fish mate. As long as im not blanking I dont care.
