Hunts Corner Lake | Linear Fisheries | Gemini X Carpinterest hunt for a UK40

This year, Gemini and Carpinterest are embarking on an exciting journey to catch a 40lb carp in the UK as part of a new series. With meticulous planning and the thrill of the unknown, we're setting out to explore the depths of UK waters in pursuit of this elusive Carp.
Through this series, we aim to share the adventure, excitement, and camaraderie that define the pursuit of such a monumental angling achievement in the UK.
On this session you join us at Hunts corner based on the linear fisheries complex. Episode one of eight. If you are enjoying the videos please make sure to subscribe and follow the journey.

In the silt behind the gravel bar or in front of it and never neglect them margins. Could have had a zig on one rod and the best burgers a fur burger. 😂😂😂 shaved Bermuda though, she does my cooking. Great video lads, thank you and yes, tench means the rigs are working.

😂😂😂 legend. A shaved Bermuda it’s on the list 😂😂 cheers for watching mate. Definitely will try more In the silt next time 👍🏽

[@Carlmasters89]

About time lads been waiting for a new season bang bang ‼️

Cheers Carl we appreciate it you legend 🤙🏼

[@DavidJacob-lw7yv]

Another quality video lads, love your content! Im sure a 40 will come along over the campaign. Wouldn't listen to the keyboard warrior, carp experts who probably brag about catching at Drayton 👀 Look forward to the next one on the Mere, its one on the list for me to get booked up!

Cheers mate! Hoping to get amongst some at the Mere! 🐟🐟

Great feeling isn’t it mate 😀

Up the Parker baits! Nice video lads...very professional camera gear it looks like you have! Mind I ask what cameras you use for the filming ?

Cheers mate! Appreciate it. I use Sony A7iii 🤙🏼

Great video lads!! Love hunts myself, not easy when the fish ain't having it. I've done well on surface fished zigs but that's in summer when fish are on top. But I usually fish that gravel bar too with solid bags and particle spod mix over the top. As for Burgers gotta try a morrisons caramelised onion burger! Out of interest did you guys have permission to film with the drone?? I've just got one but my understanding was that drones wasn't allowed at linear!?

[@carpinterest]

Cheers mate! It’s a lovely looking lake will fish it again at some point. And they sound like solid tactics. Yeah the Morrisons caramelised burgers will go on the list 😀 Regarding the drone mate they are banned at linear however I contacted them beforehand to gain permission. You will need drone license and insurance 👍🏽

[@MrCarpking71]

@carpinterest ah cool! Yeah I already have the drone license, I could blag the insurance bit 😜🤣🤣 I'd just like some nice high shots of the lake I might fish

[@carpinterest]

@@MrCarpking71 tbf mate if you go on to coverdrone you can buy daily insurance. Cheap too 👍🏽

[@MrCarpking71]

@@carpinterest ah OK cheers, I'll look into that!! Did they want proof you had drone insurance for your session?

@@MrCarpking71 yes mate

[@sammcleod4153]

M&S wagyu burger 👌🏼👌🏼

[@carpinterest]

Legend! Will try them on the next session! 🐟

[@jonbreeze4197]

M&S best ever burgers expensive but great

[@carpinterest]

Second person to recommend mate they must be good! They are on the list 🤙🏼

[@stevesracingbits]

Don't leave your reels in the water that's the fastest way to kill them, also hunts corner everyone fishes the bars you need to fish in the silt or 2ft off the far margin.

[@carpinterest]

Yeah good advice mate would definitely go towards this tactic if we fished it again. And I will remind Liam next time he puts them in the water 🤙🏼😅

[@Lee-pf4xt]

Leaders and boom are great but that Turbo German rig is shocking no movement for the hook what so ever.

[@carpinterest]

Yeah it’s great kit mate we love using it. You prefer the Ronnie rig I’m guessing? 💪🏼

[@Lee-pf4xt]

@@carpinterest yeah I use most of the Gemini range including the ronnies, can’t fault them.

[@chriskane8769]

I've had too many hook pulls with Turbo Germans due to the lack of flexibility at the hook. I now use a slip-d combi and not lost 1 yet.

[@chriskane8769]

Smash burgers using butchers mince. The best you can get!

[@carpinterest]

Sounds good that mate. It’s on the list 💪🏼

[@stevewright201]

I would put a zig rig on

[@carpinterest]

Liam did try a zig for a day but nothing came of it. We agree though zigs are a great tactic.

[@karltaft3020]

Lads any lakes closer to home you doing I’m a brumme

[@carpinterest]

We don’t tend to fish that locally tbh mate! Any recommendations near Birmingham?

[@bryantear1953]

Who would ever set up with their reels in the water !

[@Jakebousfield]

All the gear no idea boys

[@CymruCelt01]

Every time the Linear bailiff comes round and says the complex is fishing badly, I do well. Hunts Corner can be a bit tricky. The savage liner one of you had was probably a cray. The crays love a bright pop up or wafter. But what I can’t understand is why the marker float has gone out of fashion. You’ve never fished at Hunts before, so the first thing you should have done was find out what’s out there. You were literally pub chucking and fishing blind. I don’t normally criticise a video, but all it showed was really poor angling from both of these lads.

[@carpinterest]

We don’t always put everything on camera but we always lead about when finding a spot. We use the marker float when we are zig fishing to find the depths. We only ever use a normal lead when trying to find a solid spot. Sometimes might use a grappling lead if we aren’t sure.

[@CymruCelt01]

@@carpinterest fair enough. But like I said, I can’t understand why the marker float has gone out of fashion. You went to a lake you had never been before. You’re implying that you had a lead about off camera. Really? It was obvious you were way out of your depth. Trust me when I say this, Hunts can be very tricky, even at the best of times. You say that you use a marker rod to find out the depths for zigs. But you can use your marker for finding out how high up in the water a weed bed is. You can cast out a bare lead and get a decent donk, even when casting into weed. You can get low lying weed that you can present a chod over, but how do how high up in the water that low lying weed is, without a marker float? The best way to get a good reading of what’s in front of you is have a plumb about with your marker; and then, once you’ve found something that feels decent, use your marker float as a reference point and cast out a bear lead around to get a better sense of what you’re fishing over. I’m not saying thrash the water to a foam, but at least get a better sense of the substrate and weed depth in front of you, especially on a lake, or swim you’ve never fished on before.

[@Carlmasters89]

Come on . Why the hate

[@CymruCelt01]

@@Carlmasters89 I’m not hating anyone. I’m old and it hurts when I piss. So, I say things in a matter of fact way. In winter and in early spring, do not go to Linear without maggots. A low lying pop up, or wafter tipped with four to six maggots. You don’t have to gallons of maggots. 2 pints maximum for a 48 hr, or even a 72 hr sesh. Other methods, the snowman rig on a simple hair, and with a paste wrap. And when you visit a lake you’ve never fished before, do a recce and have a plumb about and find out what’s out there. If you can’t do a recce, have a plumb about at the start of the session with a marker and a bear lead and find what the substrate is. You might be fishing over black silt for all you know, which carp avoid like the plague. B1 and B2 make average anglers look good, even in the winter. But on Hunts Corner, where the fish don’t move about as much, that’s when average anglers get found out. It’s not hate. It’s just telling it like it is.

[@alexfernandez4408]

You don’t always need a market float - linear has most of the depth maps for their lakes. A quick lead about can do the job. Great video boys, I was in the same swim (9) early in the year and recently. A pretty good swim, but the weather has been all over the place, a few days either side and I’m sure you would have caught!

[@Apocalyptic656]

All a bit Gemini for me lads, blobbing of that corn was shocking, attention to detail boys 🤔wrong tactics, unfortunately wrong angler's , stick to the gym...

[@carpinterest]

It’s been blobbed down onto a bait stop. However we are just bang average carpers mate. What tactics would you have opted for?

[@Apocalyptic656]

As I have already said different angler's 🙄
