Lovely to see a new video Alex. It’s great watching fishing that doesn’t require a boat!

[@marcgiannone4948]

Love the new intro mate good to see you back 👍🏻 looking forward to a few new vids

[@harrylamba8107]

great job Alex thank you for helping me at Anaconda the other day

[@archibaldbagge1235]

Cheers for the great tips Alex. I'm not really a fisherman but I've got carp in my creek at my farm in NSW and need to get them out. I hope it's as easy as you make it look mate.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

hey welcome back man. great video and really look forward to seeing new videos soon haha

[@neilcondron8315]

As a new subscriber to your channel Alex, I'd like to say that I enjoyed your video. You explained the tackle, the berleying, and how to detect the bites really well. You made mention of the amazing scenery. I know what it's like, as I fish the Murrumbidgee. Maybe you could show a little of the trip to the river and the amazing scenery, I'm sure it would entice people to go have a look for themselves. Keep up the good work mate, I'll look forward to your next video.

Sigh Carp are everywhere in South Australia but good fun for fishing and nice relaxing at the Murray river love it. Carp are nut if you use 1 or 2 red bead will attract a lot lot of Carp definitely big difference without red bead. I always use bread as bait with red bead like size of pea.

[@JakesPlace]

Nice video dude. Very informative. I like how you do solid rig rundowns. Keep up the good work!

[@Alexsfishin]

Appreciate the positive input Jake! Cheers.

Great job mate I saw you on Tuesday at Glenelg when I was fishing

[@Alexsfishin]

I remember the name mate, you were fishing with Ryan? Nice to meet you. Cheers!

[@mimic1876]

Great vid. Good tip get the juice from the can corn pour where you are fishing and can also get the creamed corn they smell from mile away.

[@milanghooncartel3462]

love your video and great intro mate

[@ziongite]

Since carp eat at all levels, fishing carp using a floater is also common and works well. I certainly see carp swimming near the surface all the time. Your tip about chum is obviously very good, because the carp can detect scent or taste quite well, but casting out a single bait will take a while for it's scent to be detected by a fish. With chum it can attract fish that are probably 50 metres away, which probably wouldn't ever be able to detect the single bait on the hook from that distance. I am about to try to catch some carp in the cockburn river, apparently carp exist in it. I just have to wait until the flow slows down since it has rained a lot recently and the thing is flowing madly.

Great vid and better intro

[@gem9136]

That was a great watch. So calming. Over never fished in my life but I recently was informed on how destructive European Carpe is for Australian species. Particularly, the platypus's that are endangered as a result of the carpe eating they're food. So, now I'm on a mission to catch some carpe. Thanks a million for this video!

Nice vid mate

[@BillsAustralianLife]

Hi Alex, I saw you had lots of carp fishing experience. Could you please let me know where can I fish carps in the winter in Murry river? Are they in the deep water? Thanks in advance! Bill

[@koiCompetitions]

Cool video

[@will0681]

Nice video mate I love your vids you should do more beach fishing for salmon and you should do more videos in general and a quick question what rig for pilchards would you recommend for browns beach salmon

[@Alexsfishin]

Cheers mate, will be making a lot more videos, with this sort of content from now! I would use a Paternoster rig with a star sinker and size 3/0 suicide hooks. Definitely worth throwing metal lures around too.

[@will0681]

Thanks mate keep it up

[@johnrose8806]

Nice job buddy

[@sydneyfishing4620]

Nice video mate, When do you think you will do another bream fishing video because I love them.

[@Alexsfishin]

Sydney Fishing thanks mate, I really enjoy my breaming so I shall do another video on them soon. 🎣

[@thewild1860]

Nice vid mate. Do you eat your carp? I know they have to be kept out just wondering if you have any cooking tips with them. Most people don’t eat them.

[@mrt4154]

2nd ! Been thinking when the next video was comming out

[@Hobofish622]

Might have to go out there and give the Murray a go this week. Were u guys fishing around Murray Bridge?

[@Alexsfishin]

Near Morgan mate. Good luck up there!

[@vinniemcintyre4987]

Any cod in sa Murray Ik there is in lake Alexandria and Renmark but not sure anyways I think you should go fishing at lake alexandria

[@troyjackson9743]

Any good places in or near adelaide to go fishing with 12 pound line? Seems most of areas in adelaide are for smaller fish.

[@millercottfishing5667]

1st and keep up the great vids mate

[@millercottfishing5667]

[@lewismcintyre8017]

[@NoMindPureHeart]

Great Video, Also why are you just using light Rods and Reels?

[@Alexsfishin]

Cheers mate! Just for a bit of fun :) Heavier tackle is just as fun but don't last as long lol!

[@linkryan296]

Gday mate im based near the murray where abouts are you. Loved the vid!!

[@Alexsfishin]

Link Ryan Hi mate, I'm super close to Adelaide CBD.

[@FishingNANO]

👍👍👍

[@jrc0033]

Hey mate, what do you do with the carp. I've never fished for them but was told you have to destroy them as they are a pest. Also have you ever tried eating them?

[@nrg_wolf6806]

what rod n reel is that mate?

[@ironmaidentragic]

Hey mate. Love the videos. I lure fish the river for natives and that cliff face across the water looks great. Can you tell me roughly what area it's in please. Cheers.

[@Alexsfishin]

Hey mate. This spot was roughly between Morgan and Cadell.

[@ironmaidentragic]

Cheers. Keep up the good work.

[@Alexsfishin]

Thanks mate. :)

[@phunkypeter]

Nice spot, where is it ?

[@Alexsfishin]

Up near Morgan.

[@jacekczogalla8641]

Hi mate! Im from poland and im thinking if you know how to get fishing licence in australia when ill be on vacation.

[@Alexsfishin]

Hi Jacek. You don't need a license in south australia. But other some states you do. A quick google search will get you straight to where you want to go. 😊

[@jacekczogalla8641]

@@Alexsfishin thank you very much and good luck at fishing!

[@isaaccooney4862]

Make more vids!!!!😂👏

[@sokfrm1003]

Do you kill the carp or not bc my dad makes me when we go bc they eat all the Murray cod eggs

[@Smug6]

If he didn’t kill it he could get fined

[@Aykosss]

More people should be catching carp. And eating them!

[@Crazy--Clown]

Fuck off, they are a fucking disgrace

[@hoff_6112]

@@Crazy--Clown Says everyone that's never eaten them😂

[@louhasted8288]

You should go tilapia fishing

[@Alexsfishin]

That would be good fun! I'm afraid we don't get them in South Australia.

[@klownfish1]

Great work on the stinky swamp trout mate. Keep the vids coming.

*Carps are the dirtiest smelliest fish alive. Yuk*

[@kevinbarker359]

did you kill the carp and bury it ? If you did not do you will be fined if caught. They are a pest which destroys quality and habitats.Someone like you should know freshwater rules
