Frank Warwick - Nash Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 64

This week Hassan meets up with one of carp fishing’s true mavericks, a man who has an incredible carp fishing mind and a larger then life character too boot, its’ none other then legendary northern carp angler Frank Warwick.
A huge amount of Franks angling exploits over the decades have been published in the media via various videos, articles and even podcasts. In fact a large amount of Franks experimentation with bait and rigs has led to developments that feature in our everyday modern carp fishing. In order to bring something fresh to the table and to help put across the incredible unique thinking that Frank has when it comes to carp fishing this podcast looks at the key themes .
Starting with bait Frank talks about a whole multitude of things from buoyancy, liquids, colour, hemp and worm fishing to name but a few. Frank talks through how bait has been a major factor in his success from fishing fluros at Redsmere in the 1980’s through to catching on his local Cheshire syndicate this winter. There’s a particularly detailed account of how Frank used the method feeder with an “active” mix to great effect on Acton Burnell.
Onto rigs and techniques and Franks talks about his success and experimentation in time between recasting rods on various waters. There’s an in depth look at zig rig fishing and surface fishing at night on Bluebells as well as catching huge continental carp at Rainbow on zigs as well. Frank talks about his “shot on the hook” rig, the chod rig and his longshank rig and why he has refined these presentations over the years.
This podcast is a true deep dive into the mind of one of the greatest carp anglers of his generation who is still catching carp to this very day. Make sure you have a note pad ready as there’s more than a few key “gems” that will help you put more fish in your landing net.

I think Frank is the greatest carp angler of our generation. That seems a sweeping statement at first, but hear me out. There are plenty of fish catching machines, naturally tuned in guys like Terry Hearn, hunters like Pecky, fish at all costs like Jim Shelley, time bandits that bore them out etc etc. But few of the out and out catchers contribute much in the way of innovation, and if they do then it’s often limited to say a particular rig. Frank on the other hand has created some of the most important aspects of carp fishing that we all take for granted. The silt rig that became the hinge stiff rig that took waters apart for years. High attract Fluro hookbaits, not just the colour idea but pioneering the use of elevated flavour levels. The throwing stick was his as well. But more importantly he’s no secret squirrel. When he gets an edge, he has a few years on it and then he shares it, often for no financial reward. A true legend. Often imitated but seldom bettered.

[@samburnside3504]

Every time Frank does a podcast or video you have to watch it because it's always entertaining but incredibly thought provoking as well, this was no exception absolutely blew my mind! Ordered some mediclay for my koi, who knows it may end up going out in my ground bait mix ;)

[@frankwarwick8068]

[@martinmullen71]

I could listen to Frank Warwick till the cows come home. I’ve been carp fishing for around 50 years now, I would love to see Frank do more film work, as described i.e. float fishing method fishing etc.

[@trevcornwall8160]

Diamond geezer arr Frank! Legendary!

[@markwraight8381]

One of the best podcasts if not the best ive ever seen had me laughing in places well done hassan

[@scientificbaits]

Frank Warwick should have made a lot of money from his bait innovations 100%, he just never went about it the right way. A true bait innovator just not savvy enough with commercially. He should have the biggest bait firm in the UK 100%. What a great guy.

[@wendyblair1187]

What a legend of a man ,all you big companies out there too much to lose with this man.get on the phone and sign him up you won't regret it too much knowledge to lose from our industry.

[@goatboy7875]

Absolutely fantastic stuff. Frank certainly thinks outside the box Very interesting podcast, I’m off to buy some mediclay 😂

[@colinpalmer2629]

Would Kev, give Frank his own vlog spot, think of all the products that could be developed off the back of Frank’s different techniques. Come on Alan, collaborate with Mr Warwick.

[@darrylclarkson1799]

Legend

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

Like his thinking. I’m quite similar, but easily let laziness effect my approach. Might set a weekly alarm to tell myself not to be a twat!😂

Fucking legend! Got a drawing of his in the front of his book I bought....and he did one for me brothers birthday. Love to meet the man one day. 🎣💪

[@EricPollarrd]

2:55:20 all my best carp last summer were float fished 2ft from the edge, pellet, meat corn all on a size 12 hook same time, 6lb line, 18-25lb captures. Broke me bleedin arm mind. Need to try zigs more as it’s generally a breakfast lunch and tea time bite place so 2pm til dusk is pretty dead, plus some of these worm and maggot medusa toppings. I did actually try worm kebab once as I recall but probably got annoyed with tons of bream, can’t remember fully. No night fishing though so all too much to try with only 2 rods allowed 🙄 Get the camera on the bank you don’t need a crew, TA fishing will show you how. Your own channel will grow fast and the yt spondoolies will roll in

[@frankwarwick8068]

Thanks for the reply this year I have moved companies and now hopefully I am with an interactive outfit that will let me film and flourish

[@EricPollarrd]

U wanna try bran on the method as it’s spongy and springy, breaks anything apart. 50p/kg

[@frankwarwick8068]

Thanks buddy by the way how are you mounting your spuds?

[@EricPollarrd]

@@frankwarwick8068 I haven’t tried that style yet, used ordinary flat bed feeders with shop bought groundbait but I’ve been experimenting making cheap stuff from bread and bran (Graeme Pullen from TA Fishing style) and when I tried it briefly I noticed how the bran makes it harder to bind because it springs apart, all that’s needed is the perfect ratio. Or the fishingwithden channel, a brit guy who wins matches in Australia uses ground up chicken layer pellet (again infinitely cheaper than fishing shop scams) with bread crumb and the consistency is perfect.

[@samuelkropf8892]

🔥🔥🔥

[@photoman3579]

I've been using 3-5 from weights 2 inches of the hook for 20 years...

[@thomasthetankengine2257]

Frank needs to get a Cypography type of thing going, would get loads of followers

[@gil6647]

3hrs and still not enough of FW 😊

[@quackrejackt]

Drum 'N' Bass

[@EricPollarrd]

Fishing surface zigs at night at most places would result in a hooked duck every time

[@willfoster328]

PLEASE GET FRANK WARRICK BACK ON THE SHOW

[@andywilkie1986]

1:04:00

[@EricPollarrd]

Another Frank blinder! Could just do with a tad more bank-side footage, playing fish etc from our Frank

[@frankwarwick8068]

Mate I’ve moved the previous company I was with simply never supported me with filming which we all know is vital and the kiss of death if your not in it. I have so much to offer on film I just need the chance I’m a bit sad I wasted so many years with the wrong brand loyalty is great but sometimes you cut your nose of to spite your face and still get no better thought of for it

[@justinsteel6360]

3 wheelbarrows of different baits. What a load of bollox. Hes full of it

[@peterriches6446]

Stop saying mate. Ridiculous.
