That owl footage was really cool. Also sand with the grain when using a belt sander 🙃

[@adamsmith3996]

Think he went cross grain to keep the sawdust out of the pond. Maybe sand first then install. Haha

[@infallibleblue]

I randomly ran into your video about the most expensive koi. Charlie is a good boi so I wanted to see how he was doing. So glad he is thriving.

[@dthompson1313]

Charlie is female.

[@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv]

@@dthompson1313 they probably didn’t know that cuz he doesn’t even find out shes a girl till hes back from Japan and even that’s months later

[@dthompson1313]

@@RicardoGonzalez-gn2jv yes when he picked Charlie up after the mandatory eight weeks quarantine as he was leaving the owner told him based on the shape of the body and facial features she is most likely female. So at this point he knows. In any case, it's a beautiful fish, we can leave it at that. Have a good evening 😊

exact same situation here too haha

I realize this is a bit late, but... I'm a handyman. I used to work in construction. You're carpentry skills, for the task you're doing, aren't bad! Give yourself some credit :) I chuckled about the siphon effect on your hose. Don't feel bad, I've been around a bit and, yea. I would likely have been out there having a WTF moment myself. I was puzzled myself, as I was thinking "But, unless they had some fastener going in the pond (and the're not that careless), how could it leak?"

[@Ali-b16]

You two are the ones who got me into coarse fishing 2 years ago and I am now in love with it for that I owe you

[@fishwithcarl]

Great to hear!

[@sarikatimmi]

lumber has become so expensive in the us recently also, his head looks fantastic.

[@neilmitchell2817]

I couldn't wait for this upload and this video makes me want to have a koi pond in my garden because I wanted one for a year

[@dannycurrie1]

Great video guys. Look forward to more pond updates. Re building my pond at the moment too. I'd definitely advise keeping your old filter running on the new pond aswell for the first 6 months. The eazy pod is a great filter but takes a long time to mature.

[@wussed1]

Alex has just gain my most respect for headbutting the sheet of ice LMAO

[@martinbeesley2556]

haaaaa!!!!!!!

[@1paparico]

The book is a great idea. We need more recruits to the angling life. The old classic publications are great but are from another time, and fishing is always moving forward.

[@BoAngles]

Your Illustrations in the book are amazing- frugal, effective and beautiful. I will be looking forward to this book- even if I live in the US 😉 Knowing the process will be worth the purchase to me 😊

Thank you for learning my son so much about fishing, Keep the great videos coming.

[@fishwithcarl]

That’s good to hear.

[@KevB-xl8nc]

How would I be able to send you his recent catches from are local Canal. His dedication is clear to see, Summer some great carp he’s caught & Pike & perch on lure, Watching your videos inspired him to try Deadbait, With the lockdown we could only go to are local canal, The rivers are flooded up north, We ended up with a big Surprise, Shocked that a 22lb 8oz pike was in are local canal 😀one very happy Boy👍

[@fishwithcarl]

Got any tips on maximising the effectiveness of an EasyPod?

[@JamesTHEKOIwhisperer123]

@@fishwithcarl to be honest the easy pod is very good on mechanical filtering but not so much biological when you add koi to a pond and definite big Koi ,if I was you I would 100% add a diy moving bed be for it returns back to the pond I could easy give you a few ideas that work very well and are also very cheap Possibly I could do you a little video or something? If you was to contact me on Facebook or my Instagram I could send you a video or something? Just a idea as the koi would definitely appreciate it long term

[@noway05guinness61]

Add a window looks wicked with lights at night & you get to see the fish without going out in the cold easy to do did mine with 18mm perspex drill holes around the edge some stainless screw & guttering silicone 6 years still perfect

[@Mattyj2003]

Anyone else notice they're using a combi drill instead of an impact driver to put the screws in aha

[@_kierkier37]

Yea makes complete sense to spend another £100+ on a decent impact just todo a few odd jobs 😂 it’s called combi for a reason !!

[@jamesosborne4132]

There not Tradesmen , so there obviously just using the Tools that they’ve got to hand , it’s called a “ Combi Drill “ for a reason 1. Drilling Metal / Wood 2.Drilling Masonry and 3. Driving in Screws and Fixings using the Torque settings.

[@aaronyoung6725]

Recommended adding pond gel or pond bomb its not as effective in winter but still helps mature the pond.

We've got some will be treating closer to the time of introducing fish :)
