Return to Spitfire Pool

My latest video blog filmed over two trips at the legendary Spitfire Pool in Norfolk. I cover tactics, bait, rigs, as well as catch some of the very special carp the venue is known for. Filmed in HD.

Another great video beautiful fish Simon. Can I ask do you use flying back leads? Thought I saw one your line well playing the fish in?

[@SimonCrow]

RMinkjunkie1664 1664 no mate I don’t use them, best regards 👍

[@RMinkjunkie]

Simon Crow thanks for reply mate I’m starting up again after 7 years break from it due to health and picking brains. Ordering new gear got the bug again big time! Catch a whopper mate all the best!

[@Nobody423]

Amazing the footage from the boat , best vlog I’ve seen this year , I’ve a couple of questions tight lines in weed, I’m fishing France end of May the lake has onions weed well that’s what they call it so fishing about 80 yards should I have a reasonably tight line ?. Cheers keep up the great work and vlogs

[@SimonCrow]

Brett Dunmow cheers Brett, 95% of my fishing is with tight lines. The only time I fish slack is when I’m under the rod tips 👍

[@kierangunn4568]

One of the best carp anglersin the UK (just behind Mark pitchers, sorry mate) and he uses just basic rigs, but uses them properly ofc

[@add-123]

Thst leeny is a belter and put up a good old scarp aswell id love to fish this Lake it looks absolutely amazing I was only saying to my friend earlier I wish rich Willerby owned my Lake it's run by match anglers at the moment and is in a poor state to be honest I've seen what he's done with Spitfire and airfield Lake and both are stunning Fisheries I hope to fish them both soon but being a single father in Yorkshire is not conducive too long trips far afield but hopefully over the next few years I'll get to visit

[@SimonCrow]

Adam James Goddard Its a mega lake mate and Rich is a top bloke 👍

[@theconsistentnoddy9851]

Stunning fish & cheers for the content mate, do you use the sunnycam glasses to record the fight or a go pro pal?

[@SimonCrow]

The Consistent Noddy cheers mate, I use a GoPro 👍
