Carp Fishing In France - Meadow Lake - LÉ VLOG 3

[@cwcarpfishing]

What a legend feel like been waiting all year for this nothing beats this for Sunday night tv I'm about to pause top gear 👍

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Pause Top Gear! No way lol

[@1down4up78]

Just coming out of winter from -40 and we're now getting into + degrees! I'm tucked up in bed with my dog and can't wait for spring. This program chills me out and makes me less angry.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

That sounds freezing over therw

[@1down4up78]

@@LEONBARTROPPCARPER Yeah, she get's cold but the summers are proper. There are over 100,000 lakes in my province lol, one of em near me has a coast line of 900 miles and that not considered big. You and Pork Chop would love it! 3.5 times the size of the UK, only one million and we all mostly live in the south....so untouched.

Buzzin been waiting all day for this love your vids leon !! Just brought the summit tackle low profile pod love it black one !!

[@DjDolHaus86]

Hi Leon, if you want oils to really penetrate your baits then try thinning them down with a solvent like strong alcohol (vodka, rum, whiskey etc.). This will have two effects in both making the oils more soluble (very important) and adding a huge kick of attraction from the sugars in the alcohol. The risk with oils is that you can seal a bait and make it essentially water tight and incapable of releasing its attractants into the surrounding water, pellets soaked in oil demonstrate this effect fairly clearly in that they won't start to dissolve until the oil is displaced and this can take days. You can drop a pellet in a glass of water and within an hour the pellet will swell and there will be lots of small particles suspended and settled on the bottom, do the same with an oiled pellet and there will be no change after an hour apart from some of the oil floating on the surface, the pellet won't have absorbed much water or released many soluble elements. Might go some way to explaining the slow start to your session, the baits were unable to kick out attraction until they'd gotten rid of the oil

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Some great advice there which I’ll be giving a go, Thxs as always

[@topnotch7570]

Nice to see you blogging again please do more that once a month One month weight is too much love it love it well done mate👍👍

[@SimonDewCarpFishing]

Awesome Leon. Really enjoyed this. Just wondering which mainline you use? Is it the ultima stuff? You said flouro Coated. I’m looking for a good casting line that sinks well. Cheers mate keep the vlogs coming you’re someone who inspired me when I started my channel 👌

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Thxs for the great comments Simon, glad you enjoyed it and I quite like your channel also mate, some great vids on there, I use a couple of different fluoro Coated mainlines, here they are ebay.to/2Jvup6d and this one also is pretty good ebay.to/2XyfFgB

[@danielwalker3535]

Hi Leon, all ways love your films especially the France ones,quick question for yer mate why do you have your bobbins on the floor with mega slack lines? Because you won’t detect drop backs plus have a very late forward bite if any! Thanks Dan 👍

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

It’s usually when I’m fishing upto around 30 yards, I’ve never known a fish to swim exactly back towards the way the line lays so I’m not worried about drop backs upto 30/40 yards

[@shunter66]

Great vlog leon, was over limoges at ribiere last 2 weeks the temperatures were unbearable reaching 43 degrees would have loved a bit of that rain ☺ anyone know what that bird was cheeping @ 19:25 would love to know 👍

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

It was very warm when you was there, just too hot, not sure about what bird that was

Hi Leon what was your deciding factor on finding spots to bait and fish on in an open water ? Cheers

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

It was a drop off to deeper water and a little harder than the surrounding area

[@geoffpotter7608]

Great vid m8. My first French trip was at meadow. We all blanked 40 degrees plus all week. That boat looks the dogs, would you recommend it

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

Hi mate, glad you liked the vid, the boat was really good, first time I’d used it and it’s much better than anything else I’ve used

[@jimwocha4949]

Leon, what's the brand of coated flouro you mention in the film please? Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

There are two that I’m confident in using and these are bit.ly/FluoroMainlineRM and bit.ly/KrystoniteEbay both are very good

[@markhammond5425]

Been waiting a long time for this vlog leon and as usual you did not disappoint. Im not really a fan of the fish with big guts but that linear was a peach and so was the 50 at the end. I would be made up just with those two. Why didn't rog catch as many? Was it lack of bait boat?

Cracking video Leon . What a venue and superb angling ,well done 👍👏 The Rod Hutchinson rods ( guessing they are Dream Makers) your using any good for casting ? I'd be interested in 13ft XT model but can't find any real tests or info on them other than the website and don't have a shop local to me to pick one up and have a look see.

Awesome Vlog Leon., some sick looking carp 👍🏻 .. Quick question, you had semi slack lines, would you always fish semi slack even if you find the lake bed quite clear and topography flat?? Thanks boss 👌🏻

[@LEONBARTROPPCARPER]

I try to fish slack when I can as so the fish can move freely around

[@marcusbertels5782]

LEON BARTROPP CARPER Thanks Leon, my thoughts exactly, I seem to get questioned about semi slack lines in Ireland a lot.. missing indication etc, but have to say it’s works for me and keeps me confident on the bank. Thanks again and love your Vlogs 👍🏻
