Float fishing is how I started my angling journey and I'm always drawn back to it. There's nothing quite like the anticipation of that float being pulled under. Excellent video as usual, mate. Some great tips here too.

[@AlphaaaYeti]

Indeed, but I also feel like fishing with a feeder and waiting for the tip of the rod to bend is beating the anticipation of the float going under haha, but both feel great

[@user-el1ne8dl6w]

Hey Carl, I caught a new p.b mirror carp yesterday, of 24.6lb!! My last was 15lb, Let's go!!! Thanks for all the tips you've shared, I've learnt so much!

[@RowanWilliams-mg2ir]

Congrats my pb is 26.4

[@itsDxzL]

Its nice to see you bringing a true coarse fishing set up to you videos with a box and sidetray etc, another cracking video Carl your doing brilliant

[@someone-lg2eo]

Just got my new rod and reel and I am so excited to try them out! Thanks for this tutorial it helped me out to catch more fish!

[@sandorkovacs9271]

awesome video Carl! float fishing does bring back childhood memories to me as well, i love it. i was a complete noddy back then and didnt really know what i was doing and nowadays i mostly do specimen fishing for carp, pike, barbel etc. so in float fishing im still the same noddy which is perfect for nostalgic purposes :) it just makes it more fun when i actually catch something on a float :) learned a lot again, so thanks.

[@mohamedshugaa]

Once again producing helpful videos carl 😁👍

[@kieranfoster902]

The Frogs are Marsh Frogs (Pelophylax ridibundus). They are not native to the UK but were introduced into Kent in the 1930's and have expanded their range across the SE of England.

[@dazm8]

I didn't come here for this but thanks for posting that's pretty interesting tbf

[@robyoublind3107]

Invasive means you can use them as pike bait right?

[@johnjohn5122]

They are plentiful and very vocal on the Romney Marsh

[@stephenhollinrake916]

I'm sure these are what end up as frogs legs in France! Bloody tasty to.

[@Chickenslayeggs22]

@@robyoublind3107i guess 😂

[@cliffdixon6422]

Great video as always. On my local lakes, I almost always have a second rod out on the float for the silvers, hardly anyone fishes for them (Most are after the Carp) and the average size is gradually going up year by year. The biggest problem has been fishing fine enough to attract the big Roach and Rudd but having enough grunt to cope when a Carp hits, which often happens to me on casters, breadflake or Tares. Recently switched over to Gamma line and am using the 7.9lb breaking strain Gamma Edge fluoro, this is around the thickness of 4lb mono so I am getting more bites but has enabled me to deal with the bigger stuff as well. Not cheap but the catch rates have increased dramatically from fishing standard 6lb mono and it is less prone to shearing if a fish has you in the snags or pads.

[@lfireggaz689]

Deffinately getting a waggler setup after this to relive my youth, so much fun float fishing on the rod and on the pole, cheeky little orfes made me laugh, stunning tench mate and top quality video, thanks for the content

[@trevorcornes1056]

All good stuff Carl . Nice to see you getting the younger generation fishing 😄👍

Those orf are a pretty fish. The tench was an absolute belter. Nice one Carl. Great video too. Tight lines sir.

[@grahamsibbert2412]

Hello Carl. I only ever float fish. I have a 13ft rod which I rarely use, I mostly use my 9ft dropshot rod with a stick float. The river is terrible for weeds and snags and between 20’ and 10’ wide. The spot I tend to prefer is the wide part but I fish close in where is about 4’ deep.

[@baravykas244]

Super video thx

[@robertellis8738]

This is show true, waiting for your waggler to Bob under with a couple of red maggots on, is what fishing is all about, first cast this morning a tree , second cast a 2lb Golden Tench , epic. Then a duck with 9 chicks, perfect, another great video.❤

[@wimzaaijer2655]

Today i fished for the very first time as an adult and all by myself. Im laughing out loud, because thanks to this video, i realised i had to make a loop on the end of my line to attach the hook, but i used the half blood knot since thats the only one i know😅. Worked perfectly fine of course, but i will use the loops in the future!

[@ARGH69]

Good to see the weather there is better than in my part of England

[@horatiustocheci91]

I love your vidios .

[@TheIceman1980]

Love your videos Carl, so helpful for me and my lad, thanks for the content! Could I ask how you would set up in going for barbel in a pond/lake please? The pond is 12 foot deep at the deepest point centrally and there’s an under water oxygen pump at one end of it. The pond is slightly smaller than an Olympic sized pool. I was thinking about luncheon meat, on a hair, ledgered, near the oxygen pump? Any advice would be much appreciated 😊

[@Jacobdicken]

I’ve always struggled with float fishing so hopefully this can help

[@wink1eafc774]

Float fishing for carp is great, What do you struggle with? Finding the depth?

[@Jacobdicken]

@@wink1eafc774just setting the whole rig up 🫣 I always follow these videos then when I make it and go to my local pond it’s just not correct

[@cm5764]

You don’t actually need float stops for the drennan puddle chuckers Carl, you pull the little band looking part over the line and it holds it in place, used them for several years wouldn’t use anything else. Love the videos btw!

[@sigspearthumb9574]

Have you ever fished on the river Great Ouse ? The Cambridgeshire stretch is very nice and pretty and has a variety of different locations and fisheries on and adjacent to it. Could definitely make a good video

[@JigginwithMoose]

[@fr0sty_nugz]

@@pleasantville4529 thank you there's a few Carp in there aswell mainly tench tho but some fish have got into the lake from a flood next to another lake so I have to go cut all the greenery away so I can fish but it's gonna be worth it for sure

[@danhall3200]

I'd say you were lucky.. cos I think the frogs were "pool frogs" due to the amount of green on them and the fact they were extra noisy. They aren't that common in many parts of the UK so I appreciated seeing and hearing them 👍😂

Hi bro, I am a big fan of yours, I am really impressed in the cool way you do your fishing. I regularly go for float fishing. The float fishing rod which you have is not available in my area that thing disappoint me a lot, if I can have the same fishing rod then I can fish like you do.
