Rewinding Time: Dave Levy's Carp Fishing Diaries

Sometimes going back to where it all started can put things back into perspective, and after having two of the best years of his carp fishing career, that’s exactly what Dave Levy did.
A campaign to meet old friends in the shape of a handful of very old carp. It’s been over 30 years since Dave has fished the Ski Lake, so join him as he follows his own footsteps on a mission to catch some of the oldest carp in Essex.
Also a big thank you to Barry at Lens Pool Syndicate 💪

[@SuperJonrose]

Brought back a few memories mate, the Longfish is still my biggest British carp, back on there this season, cant wait.

[@proanglingrecruitment]

Excellent Dave and that big girl looked very similar to an old Car Park Lake fish, stunning.

[@imspartacustherealspartacus288]

Lovely memories and the love for the fish where it started it touches the heart.cheers Dave 😊🦊

Great watch Dave & fantastic angling. That lake holds an incredible amount of stunning fish. I think we all have a lake from our childhood that we hold dear & i can only imagine how good it must feel to be able to go back after all these years & get reacquainted with them looking mega & big. 👌

[@lukesmart6627]

Remember this lake well Remember and few off the regulars that fished it even Remember when tony use to stock solar tackle and bait. And then fished it with quench and and the small fishy boillies I think they were 8 or 10 miller's a lot of memories And learnt a awful lot on aquatels not only the lake but some of the angler's on there. RIP TONY hope you're catching the big girl's up there

[@mattiemclean9882]

Are they "Dinks" some of those mirrors?

[@samwright8559]

Rip Tony, used to work there for tony on long term work experience 2 days a week

[@mariocatalinilie4396]

Hello, a spectacular session, how are you getting us used to it. One question, what rods are you fishing with? thank you. 40:28

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

Freespirit ERs 😉

[@sarahrochester2561]

Correct me if I’m wrong but Dave said I can’t use tiger nuts cos of the bream Then he used on on the hook

[@trigger4616]

Was just about to ask the same thing

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

What I mean lads is bream and tench can’t break them up. In there you can use hookbaits only.

Excellent video Is this lake a day ticket

[@lukesmart6627]

It use to be a dayticket not any more

[@DaveOldershaw]

Is there a better angler out there??

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

💙🙏

[@suzannekirk7423]

All well and good if you don’t pay for your bait and only one person is fishing the lake,Dave is a great angler but to the normal angler never gets these conditions just advertising campaign for his many companies he works for?

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

Remember mate, I’ve fished 38 years and have spent thousands on bait. If I wasn’t sponsored I’d still use what I needed.

[@brettknight2314]

Why do people always need to put negative on someone successful in life doing what they love great video and great fishing

[@suzannekirk7423]

@@brettknight2314 hi Brett wasn’t being negative I said Dave was a great angler that’s not being negative as for the other comments just stating a fact

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

Actually there is 35 members, why was it busy? I waited two years to get on. My bait isn’t free. I’ve spent years learning and got myself into a good position, no one gave me free. For 15/18 years I fished 25 nights a year and work my socks off. Where was your comments then? I hope you’re work hard at your dreams. X
