Pole Fishing For Carp at Topcroft lakes,

[@andyseago1928]

Well done Jim. I agree the sun over at Topcroft is dazzling 😊

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

yes it's very low, had a good day took on some advice from the better anglers and it worked, Thank you for watching again and commenting mate,

[@kirkhogan2688]

You finally picked a dry day james,lots of flooded places, Think the weather is getting colder next week, so you chose a great day! You do fish some lovely lakes !

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

There is a lot of good water's out there, you just need to find them, it is stuffed with carp, they were active all day long, give it a go if your not to far away, the satnav is on the thumbnail so you can google it, Thank you for watching and commenting again,

I live just outside London james, So abit too far , But may consider it in the summer months, as there are loads of fishing holidays up.your way, Norfolk and Suffolk are fantastic ,I have been to Reepham fisheries before, Any carp caught this time of year is a bonus!

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

the bungalow lake is nut's, but be careful in main and long there is some real hippos in there, Reepham for me is about 40+miles from me, but not as far as you, Topcroft has some big caravans to stay in you can see them across the lake, @@kirkhogan2688

I take two poles one is a flagship pole and the other is a preston monster with 16 daiwa hydro , for big beasts🤪 I get anything out that swims, I came second in a charity match back in sept, carp to 14lb, so I'll be fine, But will consider a week up in your lovely county in the summer. My club lakes are all under the water and the rivers are in flood Look forward to the next video james!

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

yes there is some very good fish in that lake and can give you a very good run around, Thank you mate for watching and commenting,

[@donwoodrow2892]

Hi James happy new year to you and your family. It must have felt good to go fishing without having the pressure on you. You caught some lovely looking fish. Well done. Tight lines

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

yes very happy with what i caught mate, happy new year to you both, and tight lines when you go next,

[@anotherangleUK]

Would have been fun to be out just pleasure fishing for a change. That Carp with the large eyes and head shape was unusual. Tight lines.

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

yes a shame it was a good fish hope it get better, that lake is full of carp, in the summer matches get weights of 200lb + and more, Thank you Phil for watching and commenting, happy new year

[@Stevethebrickie]

Was this trip recently James ?

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

yes it was Thursday the 4th mate,

[@Stevethebrickie]

Oh... I didn't know if it was a old video, so things are still lively at Topcroft this time of the year, you done better on this little pleasure trip than you did on the winter match venues, I like your pleasure videos better than the match videos, but saying that, at the end of the day there're all good to watch and keep them coming brother 🫡👌👍👍

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

Thank you for your kind words Steve, there is another match going on but it's the same place i fished last Saturday, you should give Topcroft a go it still fish ok in winter, i wonted to try something out that i was told to, what i was doing wrong in my match fishing, it's very simple, i had to much of my float out of the water, i was told if you have an inch of float showing you see a little dip, that's what you strike on, because the second dip that goes under is why i was foul hooking fish, so dot it right down and strike on the fist bite, hope that helps, Thank you for watching my video's, @@Stevethebrickie

[@Stevethebrickie]

@@jamesatkinsfishing I don't do the cold James....give it 3 or 4 months and i'll be over Topcroft as much as I can, I think its brill over there, always guaranteed

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

as you see you can catch in the cold , just fish a bit more delicately and feed little and often, meaning dot the float down very low and hit it on the fist dip and not the second , that's what i was told to do and as you see it worked out better, Thank you for watching and commenting, @@Stevethebrickie

[@timothystaff5407]
