Margin Fishing for Carp - In a Tidal River

The margins of a pond aren't the only place you can catch Carp. In this video, I am fishing down the edge of a tidal river in 4ft of water. The main channel is around 18 feet deep, but the Carp come up onto the marginal shelf to feed as the tide rises.

I like the sound of turning gear 👍

[@dannydemaet4846]

as always well done Den, awesome video !👍👍🐟🖐

[@mikedarby4872]

Another good day Den, another great video, thanx.

[@Offcut55]

Great vid. Nice days fishing too. Only river I always got a carp was at the Avon near Pershore. Those jigger ling bites are a nightmare!

[@ravilnsadekov8020]

Sir Den thank You so much for the excellent video!!! I wish You all the best!!! I wish You Victories !!!

[@topfuelteddy]

Looks great fishing Den , something really different and great to watch .

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks mate. I really enjoyed it.

[@stephenmanuel4815]

Another good session Den…if you are going to continue to fish in that swim, you will need a shorter landing net pole or an axe to cut down that tree!🤣

[@FishingwithDen]

😁 I do actually carry a big saw with me Stephen. What you don't see in my videos is where I have to cut dead fallen trees out of my way when I travel along the riverbank to get to my spot. When I do finally get the dead stuff out of the way, another flood comes along and I spend hours repeating the process.🤣

Cracking session Den

Excellent Den.😀😀

Brilliant vidio again

[@robertvanempel5810]

Two thumbs up!. Another great video!.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Robert.👍👍

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

If you sweep you hand from the head back over the dorsal and pectral fins and hold them flat and then turn the fish upside down, the fish will stop struggling and the spines will be safely held, so you can remove the hook. Also crip the barb on the hook and it is easier to dehook the fish.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks very much for the helpful advice. I'll try it next time I catch one. With regard to the hook, that won't be a problem though as I only ever use barbless hooks.👍

[@mattbrown2630]

Amazing 🎣

[@petermoores6362]

What a cracking session den don't think Aussies would know how to trot a river lol

[@FishingwithDen]

It wouldn't be something you see every day Pete.👍

[@loursb]

Where's no sky jet there's a 🌲. Take a look at the spopper, used for barbel fishing (maybe print one 😊). Later edit: Korum just made the Bopper.

[@geoff738]

What ! no jet skis in the swim I’m almost disappointed Den 😉 that’s some volume of bait 😳 great short session you had, thanks for posting 👍

[@FishingwithDen]

Don't joke about it Geoff. I have had Jet Skiers come through there in the past.🤣 As for the bait, I did have far too much because I wasn't sure if I was going to be using groundbait or Corn and Pellets. It won't be wasted though, it's in my garage freezer.

[@barbaraneville5036]

Good session then Den

[@FishingwithDen]

Loved it Barbara. It makes such a change to normal. I just wish we had some Chub over here.

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

Wow man, what an angler ! And what a place ! Got a new subscriber mate. I can't believe what I've just seen here, I've had less carp action even on some commercial ponds before, so to see this on a tidal section of river is unreal.

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks for your comments Mick and thanks for Subscribing.😁👍

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

@@FishingwithDen . Hey your up early, you off fishing ? And that's OK, really it was great watching you on this session, I'll check out your other vids tonight, with help from a friend who has a spare carp set up ( 2 rods and reels, alarms etc ) I'm finally getting back into carp angling again after about 8 yrs off, I sold up, got disillusioned with it etc, really I just burnt myself out doing 3 and 4 nights a week on a 65 acre, deep gravel pit in north Yorkshire, that is sparsely stocked. I could of taken stock and just had a rest and got things into perspective. But you live and learn. That's the worst mistake I've made in the last decade, no joke, it's had me up nights thinking of it, and how much I missed it, spa couple of years back I just started reading all my old magazines again, improve your coarse fishing and Carpworld, aswell as piles of others that I was gifted when I was fishing a public park lake one day, and started watching it again on here so to keep atleast a hand in and not get left behind with what's going on in the scene etc.

[@FishingwithDen]

@@technomickdocumentalist2495 Hi Mick. I've actually just got back from fishing mate. It's 3:0 p.m. here in Australia.🤣 i retired here a few years ago. The carp fishing here is great, especially when I am almost always the only angler on the venue. The Aussies aren't keen on Carp, so most of them never fish for them.

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

@@FishingwithDen . Haha, right that makes sense ! I would of Beverly guessed you were in a is river !! My step bro and his wife and kids moved over there a few years ago, doing well, totally settled etc, and I have 2 aunts who were born there from my granddads second marriage, they always offering me to go but I can't afford that.

[@theimpaler5034]

Nice den we blanked last Friday the carp weren't biting I think due to the big fog and afternoon storms im going this Friday with some cukk corn muscle flavour and tiger nutt honey im still waiting to order bollies in bloodworm glug hopefully I won't get eels

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Vlad. I hope you do well mate.

[@theimpaler5034]

[@derekwalker539]

Great video Den. Do you ever get to fish for Barramundi?

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks Derek. Unfortunately, there are no Barramundi near where I live, so that will have to wait until I go on holiday up north.

[@robertvanempel5810]

Hi Dennis, what kind of feeder rod casting weight range would you use on a river for 20-30m?. 40-80g or 50-100g for example.

[@FishingwithDen]

If you are going to be using heavier feeders like those you mentioned, I think you need to be using a fairly beefy rod. Even if you are only casting short distances, you still need a rod which can cope with casting heavier weights. Remember, the feeder may weigh 50 grams empty, but when it's full it could be closer to 100 grams. my own heavy duty feeder rod has a weight range of up to 120 grams. This allows my to cast easily to wherever I need it, either at short or longer distances. I hope that helps.

[@Sixx2099]

Hey Den! What a great session. Which rod is that? Looks quite beefy.

[@Sixx2099]

...and you just mentioned it in the video! 🙂

[@FishingwithDen]

@@Sixx2099 Yep!😁😁👍👍

Good vid never gonna tell us where that is lol. Is it a old vid?

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks. The video was taken about one week before I published it.

[@johnellis4154]

great recording, whats the venue

[@FishingwithDen]

Thanks John. It's just off the Hunter River near Newcastle New South Wales.

[@tonylocke3010]

Wow.... a lot of feed! However the # caught suggests that you didn't over-feed! I suppose even an 8lb carp can get through quite a bit once it starts feeding!

[@FishingwithDen]

Hi Tony. it was a lot of feed, but in the end I didn't use the groundbait. I fed pellets and Corn though the Bait Dropper. The groundbait is back in the freezer for the next time I need it.

[@Ian-dj2nj]

Bream (brim) and carp in the same water! How far inland are you?

[@FishingwithDen]

About 25kms

[@turtleman190]

You get yellow fin bream very far inland if this is in the area i think you will also get the odd flathead

[@FishingwithDen]

@@turtleman190 Yes, there are some Flathead and I've heard stories of occasional Bull Sharks up here too.

[@turtleman190]

@@FishingwithDen definitely possible to get a bull shark would be qutie rate

[@FishingwithDen]

@@turtleman190 I must try for one some day. Any idea if there is a best time of year for that?

Where is this ?

[@FishingwithDen]

New South Wales Australia.

[@oldishjack]

@@FishingwithDen i was under the impression the Australians classed carp as vermin

[@FishingwithDen]

@@oldishjack A lot do, but I'm British and in NSW it is legal to return them immediately to the water from which they were caught.
