I’m not even kidding I was just waiting for the notification for todays video literally just checked 15 seconds ago. Been looking forward to this for a while now.

[@SeanyAdams]

Anyone else get exited when Carl puts a new video up, I'm still waiting for the part 3 of the pond build.

[@bsnclipz4406]

💯💯

[@fishwithcarl]

Had some delays! Found a leak in the fibreglass unfortunately, so a new fibreglass company are coming to fix it this week then finally can do the final finishings, and start the edit :) Will be a few more weeks yet.

Episode 3 of the pond build is up and on YT.

[@yolo2498]

I love your videos so much, I'm sorry Alex stopped filming the fishing. Can you ever post a little longer video? I've been following you since last year and you've really made progress! Keep it up like this!

[@fishingdiaries3389]

Hi Carl!! Here in Hungary we usually use Halibut pellet 20mm size with a pop up on the top of it.This bait has given me awesome sturgeons

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah really :) Thank for the tip!

[@hankmosh2709]

​@@fishwithcarl Halibut pellets are a great bait. good bait are night crawler

[@fishwithcarl]

Ah nice, cheers!

[@tobytaylor8200]

Although it was only a brief moment, it's so nice to hear mental health spoken about especially as angling and nature is such a healer for many of us!!

[@rk28984]

I fish for sturgeon sometimes. My tip use pickeled herring (we call them Bismarck Hering) as bait and fish near the bank. Sturgeon normally swim around the bank to feed and the best time is early in the morning or later at the evening. Biggest one I cought was a 40kg sturgeon, fought for over a half our before I was able to land it. We normally just play the fish until it is tired and then grab it's tail to "net them".

[@shaunbickford38]

Was a ace session , well done lads , hopefully u bag up next time mate , me and Andy are in the 100lb club so u or callan hopefully , was brilliant to get one on film 🎣🎣👍💪

[@frediehawkins473]

Hi, what reels are being used in this video?

[@tonyhargrave7694]

Phenomenal Lake Bill has there!! Just looked back on the photos from my last visit on that front lake; 7 and a half years ago my friend had the biggest in the lake at 67/68lb, I remember it coming out a few years later and being astonished that it had gone over the 100lb… crazy, 10 minutes from my doorstep… I need to get back down there. Great video Carl and good luck on your next visit 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Found a new fibreglass company who are coming to fix it this week, then can finally do the wood finishings next week, and finally plant it up. Then will be able to add the fish! Looking more like May now for pt 3 :)

[@TheJoni4ever]

Another amasing video! Next time, use bloodworm boilies for sturgeon. Also, lay them in dip for at couple of days. Sturgoen like smelly bait. Baitzone makes some great bait for sturgeon. Use PVA bags on your rig so you make a Big smelly pit. Greetings from Denmark👍
