[@richardcromack9406]

Awesome again lads the best on you tube ! , real fishing real friendship and genuinely enjoying your fishing without trying to push or sell things . Hope old man river gets into a decent king carp species on the next part . Top work fresh fishing 🎣

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Richard, means a lot. Although, we’re gonna be selling some merch next year. But that’s because people are asking us to. The money will go toward making the channel and vids better, hopefully. 👍

[@richardcromack9406]

@@FreshFishing would be happy to purchase your merch and grow your channel , it’s the big boys who try to push the latest goo, smart liquid , etc all come with the very hefty carp tax .

[@FreshFishing]

Yeah, we hear you mate. They’re all at it 🙄 We’re gonna try and create merch that can be worn on a bank as well as the pub 😁👌

[@shanejones7461]

What a fish that 50lbs one was!! Cracking video and good to see you enjoying the local beers 🍺🍺 tough video to top but looking forward to what you guys put out next week

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Shane. That vid is definitely one of our favourites 👍

[@ryancurtis8163]

Well in lads cracking video 🎣🎣😎

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Ryan 👍

[@mattyXmith]

Love it lads. To be fair right call with the size 4 hooks. That’s all I use now. Even over here. Even nails the small fish.

[@FreshFishing]

Yeah tbf we may start using size 4 in the uk too mate!

[@mattyXmith]

Exactly Joe 🤣🤣

[@powershed]

Ye know what lads...I'm rewatching the france trip again now and it feels like refreshing seeing you and the lads and especially Old man river over there...having a Epic session! Ive gotta take my Dad over with my son and the boys this year. My Dads Just got into fishing end of season last year...we did woodlandsa and brafferton etc...local waters u know.. screw it Im gonna splash out and pay for a trip this year man

[@powershed]

can you link any info on booking ? location or broker etc plaese fellas?

[@powershed]

My old man watching all ur videos now lads. Its just what we need at this time of year:-) something to look forward too in the summer🙂 Keep up the good work all of you. Ive been following you for a long time now , you deserve more recognition for the journey. I hope U get more subscribers and it pays off. you have been entertaining us fellas for a while now and sill going strong ! Much love from Norm and family🙂

[@FreshFishing]

Much appreciated norm mate, truly 🙏

[@FreshFishing]

We booked with a company called angling lines. The venue is called Villereal mate. Well worth the money!!

[@craigsmith754]

Class as usual lads amazing fish that foxy well done, i managed a blank at legends on Saturday so was happy to watch you lads pull a few out 🎣🎣🎣

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Craig. Doesn’t surprise us tbh, legends lake doesn’t have the highest of catch rates 👍

[@craigsmith754]

@@FreshFishing going to dreyton in 2 weeks so should have a better time there

[@FreshFishing]

Ohhh fingers crossed mate hope you smash it

[@craigsmith754]

@@FreshFishing thanks pal think you guys need to sort a social next year so we can all meet up 🎣🎣

[@FreshFishing]

We’re maybe planning one for a day sesh in December

[@SPS_survivor]

Heavier leads would help with your hook holds guys! Also drop the leads so they pop up to the surface 👌🏼

[@FreshFishing]

We were using 4oz tbf but could have probably gone heavier in France with the bigger carp

[@SPS_survivor]

@@FreshFishing was it a barbless rule? If not perhaps a wider gape hook pattern depending on rig obviously. I just got back from a beautiful trip to a complex called Abbey lakes - only 2 hours from Calais and smashed my 38lb pb with a 53lb proper old beast. Hard fishing but the rewards are huge. Check out the ridgemonkey videos on KZbin. Great fun video guys! Where was it? A runs water for sure but I liked the pool etc 👌🏼

[@FreshFishing]

Yeah it was barbless mate. Have heard of abbey lakes, supposed to be class! Well done on the PB. The place is called Villereal mate it’s southern region of France. Apparently it’s not quite classed as a runs water and can be tricky but judging from our session it certainly was a runs water haha

[@SPS_survivor]

@@FreshFishing barbless would definitely be a big factor in losing fish. If you can find a local lead producer rather than the Korda or Fox ones it’s well worth dropping them every time, you’ll find that 99% of the time that the fish will automatically swim up away from the bottom enabling you to keep them out of the snags. You’d love it at abbey - 6 lake complex with great facilities - tackle and bait, bar, great showers and big lakes with fish up to 70+ and some huge cats at well over 100+ (we chanced it the last 4 trips taking bait and not had any problems at all) Check it out - we’re just about to book our 5th trip in under 2 years lol 😂

[@waynecooke5874]

Loving the video

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Wayne

[@tescr500]

Avon skin so soft best mozzie repellent going. Although it's not a mozzie repellent trust me it works. Cheaper too, I'm normally breakfast, lunch and dinner for mozzies. I got had once since using that

[@aquaticcolledgefishing]

Quality gents. I love how you call under 20lbers small 🤣 congrats on the PBs 👊👊

[@FreshFishing]

Hahaha get to France Bri it completely blurs your perspective on carp 😂😂😂

[@aquaticcolledgefishing]

@@FreshFishing haha I could tell. That 51lber ws insane. It looks like ubhad the best pegs on the lake. Quality content 👌

[@FreshFishing]

Not according to the lake owner however I think we did really well with baiting etc. Seeing a 50 in person is insane haha they’re huge!

[@jonstapley317]

Go on Foxy with the big 50!!

[@FreshFishing]

😁👍

[@pauljohnsontwonoviceangler6170]

Paul from Two Novice Anglers here. Brilliant video.Really enjoyed it. Crazy catching the same fish again. We don't even have a carp rod but each have a PB double on the fly rod. We are seriously looking at this venue for our holidays. Any advice on a beginner's set up?

[@FreshFishing]

Hey Paul, advice would be just to keep things really simple. Standard hairrig setup for your hook and just a lead or feeder. Keep the bait going in and stick to a few spots. 😁

[@tiocfaidharlaeringobragh2623]

You lucky b#¥₩#### looks mint theres and some nice fish keep up the videos boys 👍👍👍👍

[@jamesrussel1133]

Classic error for the inexperienced in France stripping off in the heat. Sunburn, sunstroke, mozzie bites and worst of all the potential of tick bites if you venture into long grass baring bare legs. And it’s no joke either. The sun so much stronger, no sun block that first careless day can ruin the trip and is even a skin cancer risk. Worst by far is the tick and there’s a season when you are most likely to acquire them, early spring. Any long grass where wildlife like deer may frequent or come in to drink in winter could be full of them. And they tend to bury themselves in the warmest and sweatiest parts of the body too…I will leave that to the imagination. The real issue though is they often carry debilitating Lyme disease which can leave you will debilitating exhaustion for years. If a red ring appears after a bite that’s a sign of infection. And you need special tools to get them out without leaving the head behind which again can infect. I have been to hospital twice to take them out. My advice to all carpers in France in spring after bitter experience, keep lightweight full length cargo pants on, preferably tied at the bottom so nothing can jump on and climb up there. They react to vibration and sweat to jump on prey….which is a Roe deer or you. They will be in any long uncut grass in spring potentially. So stick to the hard areas, the cut grass, the trodden paths, that will hugely reduce your chances of living with buried ticks taking your blood. OK so you won’t get that all over tan but that’s a small price to pay for maintaining your health long term.

[@billymiller8495]

Good video lads if u ever go to water gate in Murton might see us

[@FreshFishing]

Thanks Billy, we’ll have to check it out 👍

[@Needadrysuit]

I had that same 51lb fish the week after you were there

[@FreshFishing]

Ahh mate it’s a proper belter isn’t it!!

[@Needadrysuit]

@@FreshFishing it is. Was my pb too at the time. Its a great place

[@martindunkley6603]

Chaps, where in France is this place as I’d like to go myself

[@FreshFishing]

It’s called villereal mate. Booked on angling lines.

[@nigeljones7250]

Well done great video lads That is one reason I have never been tempted to fishing in France wear can you catch carp that size in the uk i mainly fish day ticket waters Is foxy going to start fish for big cats

[@FreshFishing]

Cheers Nigel mate. Tbf I do need to hook into a cat and see what the fuss is all about 😁

[@FreshFishing]

He’d be too scared to handle a cat 😂

Personally never won’t to catch a cat got a phobia of anything slime 🤢

[@FreshFishing]

It’s called Villereal and can be found on Angling Lines mate

[@fishingboy221]

@@FreshFishing thank you. Looks a lovely water!!! Might have to book that in the near future 😎

[@kianzdrenka98]

Good video boys , loosing alot of fish tho lads you know what you’re doing but could you be tying your rigs the wrong way as even on a size 6 hook you shouldn’t loose that many fish hook size doesn’t really make a massive difference aslong as it’s sharp and is hooking the fish as it should you shouldn’t have that many hook pulls, good Channel tho👌🏽👌🏽

[@jasonward2899]

A dab of toothpaste on the bites help with the itchy ness

[@andyhall3122]

I would be changing my rigs if I was losing so many fish

[@FreshFishing]

We did mate. Changed hook size from 6 to 4. Once all rigs had 4’s we didn’t lose a fish unless it got snagged 👍

[@joemean4326]

salute is french not spanish haha
