Cool deal Rod. Carp are underrated, very challenging for the average angler. Their mouths are so sensitive they can feel the hook and often spit it before you can set. See some of my carp vids sometime Rod I'd be honored.

[@cohenlewis1481]

Awesome video rod. You should head to Okanagan one summer when i visit! i sight fish the carp along the shoreline on the fly, it's a huge adrenaline rush especially when you watch them eat.

[@blkaudiofan]

I can't wait for the carp fishing videos!

[@RalphHify]

nice video Rod! re: your comments about not moving live carp to other water bodies; you should note it is illegal to move any live fish in BC!

[@mateoarduini2583]

Hi Rod I was wondering if you would be doing and fishing at Deer lake in the future because I live near their and I wanted to know what works the best. Thanks!

[@31kickz99]

Thank you for this carp video I'm getting in to carp fishing

[@vancouvermeridian1288]

Good video! Thank you! Does oval weight also work on the main line?

[@IXLGAMES]

Any sloughs in ladner will work. Put some corn out, and have a size 6 hook with a pice of corn and half of a worm.

[@ssyparkk]

isn't chumming the water considered illegal?

[@IXLGAMES]

If you use a method lead, then technically it is not. As it is attached to the hook when you cast it out. But, I do belive that blindly throwing out corn is illegal.

[@rmcc1298]

Great, simple to follow video. I learned a lot, thanks!

[@FishingwithRod]

Good to know. Thanks for watching!

[@walkertexasrangerwasacase4620]

Was at deer Lake seen carp jumping what do you think they eat at the surface or are the just splashing and would you use the same set up at that lake

[@lastking1525]

Hi brother rod why I use corn but it didn't bite ??? Why they so hard to catch ???

[@2-old-Forthischet]

We caught a carp in one lake in California and yes, it is an invasive species but we didn't know it at the time. The owner of the launch ramp said to just throw it into the woods so the animals would eat it. We've been fishing that lake for a lot of years and have never caught a carp there. You sort of wonder how it got there in the first place.

[@TheDaveplosivo]

I know you said California, but I just wanted to clarify that it's illegal to waste any fish you catch in British Columbia (where this video is shot). I've heard lots of crazy misinterpretations of the regulations from British Columbians. Keep it and eat it or release it.

[@Ihtiandr13]

​​@@TheDaveplosivo i heard in some bc lake you are not allowed to release bass, back into the lake, because its invasive. Somewhere in Kooteneys.

[@lastking1525]

Hey brother, where is this place?

[@samhilverink3695]

Great video rod 👍

[@skrilla20]

Trinity western has lots of nice carp

[@matthiaswiegand1654]

Are you aware of any list of lakes with carp in BC? I'm in Merritt.

[@FishingwithRod]

No I'm not.

[@Walker82kg]

Was at the Pitt river by one of its side sloughs where they meet around sunset yesterday and decent size fish were jumping all over do you think these are carp And can I use this rig with worms for carp...if there surfacing will they still bite a Carolina rig

[@FishingwithRod]

Hard to tell just by that description. Yep you can catch carp on worms too.

[@Walker82kg]

@@FishingwithRod checked it out yesterday only catching pike minow there maybe there doing all the splashing seemed like big splashes iunno could still be carp but all that was biting were the pike minow

[@FishingwithRod]

They’re not easy to catch that’s for sure. This time of the year they are also getting ready to spawn, that’s why you’re seeing them splashing.

[@Walker82kg]

@@FishingwithRod so checked out my pictures I think there actually pea mouth chubs look like pike minow noticed pike minow were more shinny these fish were duller and had red under there backbelly

[@Ihtiandr13]

I am pretty sure it's carp. Its all over those Addington marshlands. You can see them munching on weeds near surface or shore.

[@walkertexasrangerwasacase4620]

Is mono fine or have to use braid thanks for the help

[@FishingwithRod]

Either is fine. Personally I prefer braid for my main.

[@armandoantonioserpasmitjav1131]

Yay rod!!

[@walkertexasrangerwasacase4620]

Thank appreciate it

[@walkertexasrangerwasacase4620]

Can these guys be cough on 10lbds braid or 10lbs mono or are they too big

[@FishingwithRod]

10lb test should be able to handle most of the carp found in Deer Lake, but it'd depend on which part of the lake you're fishing in. If there are lots of underwater structures where fish can run into, then you may want to use heavier line.

[@stefsonlysnipes530]

What size weight is he using ?

[@Isa-nu7lr]

Where you fishing in this video bro is there a name of the lake ?

[@FishingwithRod]

Elk Lake in Victoria on Vancouver Island.

[@IrakliSharikadze]

3:52 is this shimano nasci ?

[@FishingwithRod]

Yes. :)

[@adrianharrison5208]

What sort of real are you using? A baitrunner real is really what you need for carp fishing

[@dR1Ugz]

If it's an invasive species shouldn't they be killed rather than released?

[@linnaeakidd]

Most people catch and release bass. With carp, it's the same deal.

[@cpt.stranglewank9569]

Shania Brannon Judging by your music playlist your either ethnic, or a fake ass white guy so sit back down EDIT: white *person*

[@TheDaveplosivo]

Only way to do that legally is to eat it.

[@Ihtiandr13]

Typically you go by the local regulations for that particular lake/river.

[@walkertexasrangerwasacase4620]

What the test line

[@FishingwithRod]

My main is 15lb test PowerPro braided, leader is 10lb test Seaguar fluorocarbon.

[@WestCoastWheelman]

A local carp fishing video without a shout out to First Light Tackle in Burnaby? C'mon dude they are the carp experts and I'm sure they'd love the publicity! You should contact them about maybe taking them out and making a proper carp fishing video on Burnaby lake, there's a sponsored video I'd like to see! I've seen some serious canal whales in there and in Still creek.

[@FishingwithRod]

Steven and I are good friends, and there are plans on producing some carp related videos together in the near future. :)

[@WestCoastWheelman]

OMG I can't wait. I just looked at the regs tho and no fishing in Still Creek :( You'd think they'd at least let us go after invasive species...

[@samhilverink3695]

Elk lake has bass to😂

[@IrakliSharikadze]

I like so nasci so much i have for spining 2000

[@FishingwithRod]

They're pretty awesome!

[@drippy3080]

[@annulmarketing6597]

[@dontgivejack1403]
