Tried this yesterday on a lake that has been hard to get bites on the last few years . I had 3 bites and and caught all three. The smallest was just under 16 pounds and the biggest just over 17 pounds. The best afternoon/evenings fishing on the lake for years !

[@jakemaclaren8706]

About a month ago me and my dad fished that swim and had 3 up to 20 pound and all though out the day we see fish after fish jumping. I just cannot wait for the day I might see both of you at Norton Disney and thank you for all the tips in your videos it has helped me improve my skills and become a better angler. Thank you Carl and Alex 👍

[@MrFlames1975]

I’ve been using PVA bags for a long time now and found that if you wanna use whole boilies you can use crushed boilie and smaller pellets to fill all the gaps in the bag so it doesn’t end up all baggy. Great video as usual gents.

[@clarazuwied7326]

You don’t understand how much u help me to catch fish thank u so much

[@chillwinston4216]

[@JB-OH]

I'd like to see a "how to" video on how to catch chub and barbel from a river. But with granular detail, like as simple as when to strike, and what to look for or what you see when you roll spam?

[@tattooedinvestor2514]

I used to watch you boys years ago and damn how you both have grown into real gentleman much respect to you lads, I will be watching much more and get myself carp ready again 🥳🥳

[@fishingtutorials]

Love Norton Disney cracking venue.. bit of A drive for you guys all the way up to Lincoln/Newark! Mega video 👌🏻

[@jeromejouhier3212]

You re both great !! I look your videos from france and i enjoy and i always learn something. Thanks mates.

[@dreammaker730]

I used the pva bag method over the weekend , first time carp fishing in six hours I had 2 bites , lost both of them . Considering no one else even had a bite I'm really impressed with this method . You make a really good point about putting the weight at the bottom and central in the bag . I didn't and had some proper wonky casts as a result.

[@fishingtutorials]

A bite is better than nothing! Hopefully you land them next time!!

[@JulieGoesCrazy]

Watched this a while ago and still come back to it now and then great video

[@theohastings2118]

Brilliant video guys, great effort gone into this I can tell. I just have one question for you. I am looking into buying a new set of rods and my fishing is done up to about 70-90 yards with the odd cast over 100. Can I achieve these distances with a 12 ft rod of 3-3.25 lb test curve? Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@michaelleneghan7431]

Great video as always

[@nobbs67]

Am I the only one who wants to go wishing with you guys? Another great video, thanks guys!

Awesome video and great tips for us carp anglers. My goal on my channel is to influence other USA fishing anglers that carp are not trash fish. They are nothing but power houses and fight pound for pound. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Mattys_Channel]

i see many carp videos and i see about feature finding for what is on the bottom , did you do this on this venue?

[@miroslavchapkanov936]

Best fishing video ! 👍🇧🇬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks 👍

[@rohanhussain7934]

I have just watched this lol its still a excellent vid tho

[@fishermanfranklin6674]

Ngl sounds like a flight stewards demonstration...nice work boys

[@paulgoodwin4084]

I thought this video was by Carl and Alex when I saw the picture great video

[@declanhobbs8168]

Would this inline lead be classed as a fixed rig? I know you mention in case of a break off but the lead is still on ? Just curious as some fisheries near me don’t allow it

[@anthonyrushton3495]

Really enjoy your videos I've just started pva bags how long do you leave it before you recast a soild bag thank you

[@Lakenbeer]

Hi there would the inline lead be classed as a fixed lead? Only asking as I want to use this rig but there is a rule of no fixed leads at the lake, great video cheers!

[@pcarp6863]

A lot of my local waters have a no braid rule. What would you use as a hook link? Great vid, my son is looking forward to receiving his calendar!

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Solid bags. No.1 go To Tactic!

[@timm4982]

Really enjoy your guys content (both channels). Great info and excellent cinematography. What kind of camera drone do you guys use?

[@baccoff3308]

Cool video!

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers!

[@SPS_survivor]

First bag rig video I’ve seen where someone puts the lead in before the hook link, do you find this more successful? I’m just waiting for time to get out on the bank so will be tying up a fair few to take ready to attach and get fishing quickly. I also use a syringe to inject hemp oil for a little more attraction. Also that new smart gel looks the business. Nice videos. Keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@anthonyrushton3495]

Great video as always how long do you leave it before you recast a solid bag thanks 😊

[@J_Punisher]

I got a question about connection the setup inline, when inline on braid is connected to mainline does it going through on knot. I mean i am using also a shock leader between main line and braid and the knot is a little bit fat.

[@elliswestbrook2172]

Can this be done with leadcore leader aswell? Thanks

[@carpman4767]

Another little trick I was told about years ago was...when ya filling ya bag also put in half a alca seltzer tablet..they are harmless to the fish and help spread ya bait on the bottom wen they fizz .many old school use them dissolve in less than a minute and explode ya bait around

[@H8er-Maker]

Good tip on drying off lead. Do you use fast or slow melt bags? Does your preference of bag type change in winter conditions?

[@themightybubbles2217]

Do you use heavier rods for solids? Different to the 3lbs

[@user-zp5bt5pv6x]

Nice

[@mountstevens8688]

Are 10ft 3lb test rods good for small solid bag fishing? Just dipping my toes into speci fishing and most of the waters will be quite small like whelford pools if you know it?

[@JoshLeher]

Great vid, but I have a couple question - when using solid bags, do you tighten up to the bag/lead, or leave it slack, and how would you go about fishing slack line or semi slack, thanks

[@MindCatcherFishing]

hi Carl as you know I am knew to carping which would you say is the better way PVA Bags or PVA mesh ? I was wanting to go down the mesh method as it looks easier , Is there any rigs that don't go well PVA Mesh ???

[@johnsharman7614]

Hi Guys its a few weeks ago when I commented about you are catching some Real Specimen Fish. I have lived in Northwich Cheshire all my life and have been a keen Angler most of it I'm 64 now and through I'll health I can't get comfortable anymore when fishing. I write to you today about a fishing spot called the (Horseshoe) and I know for a fact that the Carp in this Water have Never been Caught by a line. Apparently there is too much Natural food in the water. Many Anglers have tried and 100% have failed. I personally have seen these fish and they are enormous 30 to 50lbs and upwards if your interested in the future I will forward the exact place to come and try your luck I look forward to hearing from you both. John. 😁🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳😁🐳🐳🐳

[@jacob0518]

Just watched this video, it’s great! Btw are the ring swivels size 11?

[@oruam1599]

Hey, i have a question. Can u use solidbags on lakes with a really muddy bottom?

[@fishhubbd]

Beautiful

[@DoukeNchannel]

Hello Alex and Carl, i have a question. I like to fish with cage feeder, but i want to try pop-up boilies with it, i watched your "The EASIEST Carp Fishing rig to tie" tutorial, can i put on my cage feeder instead of lead? Will it not tackle? T.y. for the answers. :) Btw really good tutorials u have, good work. :)

[@user-em8eu8og5h]

Helpful video Do you use 45 lb leader for any mainline ? (e.g. 12 lb, 15lb, 20 .b etc) or do you need to get lighter depending on the breaking strain of your mainline? also what is an alternative to using the braid ?

[@Robi.95]

What if we are using some other different rigs, like heli or lead clip, not inline. Prolly using pva mesh, but the quantity of bait is lower, any tips :D ?

[@MateKCSGO]

What are the benefits of using Solid PVA Bags over a Method Feeder? Which option should I go for if I plan to stay on the lake for only couple of hours? Also love your other fishing tutorials :D

[@noahkennedy9828]

Do you have to use inline leads with PVA bags? I’m still very new and I have lead clip set ups at the moment so could I use PVA bags with a lead clip set up rather than an inline lead?

[@strikecast6847]

amazing, you guys should fish more in Lincolnshire!

[@jecadelossantos5716]

hi there folks,just wanna ask if what brand of reel and rod you use this video??gratitude

[@wannesevens6475]

Can i use a ronnie rig with pva solud bags?

[@corbinhutchcroft4762]

I subbed to all ur channels

[@Jonalexxx]

Could you make a video about bite alarms? Which are the most reliable you’ve used?

[@chrishorsman5134]

How would you tie the leader to your main line?

[@explorewithant8263]

Wow m8,,I’ve just noticed something in this video where I think I’m going wrong,,I think my rig lengths are a lot lot longer than yours and I think that’s why I’m losing loads of fish,,,I’m getting loads of bites and little runs but by the time I’ve jumped up to grab the rod,,the fish is already off and my alarms have stopped 👍👍👍👍

[@arkastarakan8839]

Masih terjaga keasrian alam nya 👍👍👍

[@CarpAndMore]

How to use the ready leaders , I got them but not sure how to use 😢
