Thanks for making the best fishing videos in the world

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad you like them!

[@alexmaddisondrums]

Your videos are so well produced, can tell you're a young lad with an smart, artistic brain producing genuinely quality fishing videos. Clear, concise, beautiful camera work, and British! Class mate

[@adrianconnock1785]

I have been carp fishing for 40 years plus and all this is good solid advice. Your session videos really capture what it’s all about - friends having fun, enjoying the outdoors and sharing a passion for carp fishing. Too often we get drawn into complex rigs and methods, the notion that only very large carp matter etc. but you guys bring it back to basics really well and show how to simply enjoy catching carp. It all reminds me of my early years except carp were less plentiful then and we never had the hair rig! Great to see the future of the sport is in safe hands, keep it up lads!

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you so much Adrian! :)

[@IdRatherBeOutdoorsUK]

😂 Literally just thanked you guys for the tackle tips on the res diary 3 now this dropped. Today is a good day lol tight lines lads.

[@fishingtutorials]

Great to hear! :)

[@michaelcole6527]

What I like most about the tutorial vids you guys do is that it's all about good solid advice. Not about pushing products as many others do. They feel more like an ad from a shopping channel. Keep up the good work lads!!

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank you Michael :) appreciate it!!

[@davidhandley129]

absolutely love all your guys videos, i have said it before and will say it again- The reservoir diaries are some of the best fishing films out there. truly passionate gentlemen about there fishing and you both are a true inspiration to anglers.

It's definitely a happy day when a new Carl and Alex adventure shows up in my recommendations. Top lads keep on keeping on.👍😊👍🐟🎣

Just recently got back into fishing. I used to float fish all the time when I was a kid (only way I was taught) now I'm trying more bottom fishing nd getting into specimen fishing via your tutorials

[@joecollins6186]

Cheers guys, informative video into your approach in carp fishing! Enjoy all your films, in my opinion they are the best out there, well filmed and edited. Literary have me on the edge of my seat! Love the latest carp diary's! Especially as it's filmed not far from me! (I won't say ware). This year I look forward to targeting some carp on the river medway and will take what I've learned from you guys onto the bank! A big thanks for all the film's! Joe

[@adzakovac]

I have a feeling that you two guys give an ultimatum or advice to Korda to speak buy yourself and talking about fishing on your own way, and not just to promote every single thing from Korda ( i also love they products )...As you say what every you like to fishing is that on the modern ways like deeper etc or on the old fashion way ... Keep it up with nice work and sorry for my bad english .Greetings from Bosnian angler :)

[@iandavey3785]

Hi guys love watching your videos on KZbin. And from what I have seen you guys have nothing but love and respect for the fish you catch. I have some very good zander stops that I fish. Here's one for you. You could do a zander and pike video on the canal. As not alot of people fish them now. I would be happy to show you guys a setup I used to catch an 18.6 zander. Thanks for the videos guys. Carl and Alex stay safe and tight lines.

So talented at what you do, fishing and editing etc. Anyway, a small request, while we are suffering the lockdown could you make a zig rig tutorial please? Also a possible decent dead bait rig set up, as I will be doing river fishing (hopefully) towards the end of the year. Thank you guys! All the best!

[@baronbadtaste6060]

Great upload guys . I live in Australia and enjoy chasing the Carp over summer months . A nice lake to fish 10 minutes always seems to produce .My PB is 17 Lbs but hope to better this over winter . By law we can't return carp we catch to the water as they are classified as vermin here . That aside I enjoy fishing for them as well as Australian native species . Keep up the tutorials they are very informative .

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks 👍 Good luck with your fishing mate :)

[@carp.fishing]

Great advice Carl.

[@RndmGuy-jg4mp]

How long did you fish the res?

[@TheIridescentFisherMan]

What if its really hot? Would the carp also want to go deeper to stay cool?

[@fishgilman5854]

I haven’t really fished many big lakes but is don’t know if the gear I have is good enough. I use a big pit reals and 3 12ft 2.75lb test curve. Do you think that would be enough

[@robertcourt8593]

There may be certain situations where you can't quite reach certain areas but the kit you have will definitely be good enough to start with. Get on the lake, use your eyes and ears to find the fish and put a bait as close to them as you can with a half decent rig. Rods and reels are just tools in your armoury, they're not the be and end all to catching fish.

[@fishgilman5854]

Robert Court cheers mate I’ll get Down there as soon as this thing is over

[@tomspotley5733]

Would love to see you guys to a video on carp care and in particular landing, releasing or retaining large carp. For example when waders aren’t useable and on a lake with a steep bank how would you return a large fish safely. Thanks as always. 👍

[@fishingtutorials]

We'll try and cover it some time!

Fluro hooklinks really come into play in clear water and on a firm lakebed, personally I don't fish many places like that so normally use braid, but it's deffo worth considering!

i have a strange question if you have a boat and want to fish long distance with 10 ft rods taking lines out would be ok or would you rather go with 12ft rods does the 2 ft really make a diffrence

[@robertcarroll9260]

Do you ever use pack bait in the UK?

[@08angler]

Hi, I’ve been a fan for ages now, I was wondering for advice on what methods you recommend as normally I target carp up to 15lbs for the last 5 or so years but now I am going to try catch a 20 by the end of this year on this big gravel lake (knotford lagoon Leeds lake) Do you have any tips eg pre bait, what size boilies do you find best, you are my inspirations Eduardo

I have been unable to find a good rod and reel. My last rod snapped on first use. So I was wondering what did u use in your latest reservoir video as the gear looked high quality. (Rod and reel)

[@fishingtutorials]

Hi mate, in RD3 we were using Nash 12ft Entity rods 3lb and Shimano Ultegra XTD 5500. We also used Sonik Tournos Reels but had one of them break whilst reeling in.

hey guys any recommendations on a good 10ft carp rod that wont break the bank cheers?

Hi mate, the one we use is the Diawa Crosscast 10ft 3lb :) It's decent and far from the most expensive out there!

Should you use lots of bait when you first start fishing a big lake.

[@garethwynne1989]

I’ve noticed a lot of Korda products in season 3 , any news on the horizon ?

[@GITRDONE7117]

I’m from Canada and I’m trying to figure out how to fish the great lakes (Lake Ontario specifically). Haven’t tried it yet but I have a feeling that the swim is so large and the fish roam so much that trying to pre-bait will be fruitless. Any ideas?

[@fishingtutorials]

Yes, on a very very large lake, the baiting will make less difference, however if you don’t bait, it’s going to be even harder! If you watch for fish jumping you’ll be able to chose an area where fish are already active which will help!

[@andreastrulsson8862]

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

[@brian1204]

Good, basic info on (in the UK) larger waters. Here in Texas we would consider a 60 - 100 acres to be a small lake; much less to be a pond... but your information still holds true. Also, unfortunately, most of our lakes are surrounded by private property so our access is often only in parks or boat ramps. I know several carpers who fish from boats, but that is the exception rather than the rule; most of us are bank fishermen. So, we often “bait and wait”.
