Thanks for all the kind words🎣❤️ stay positive and chase your dreams!

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

Hey Alfie, absolutely love your uploads, seriously too drawer dude, I hope your doing well with your mental health, I too had a serious drop around 2 years back, I lost my daughter to forced adoption, hit with a deep depression, and then the whole lockdown we all had to deal with, I was planning my suicide a couple of months back, then gets a phone call out the blue, my lasses cousin had just killed himself, same age as me, had kids and a misses, was very well liked in his home town etc ... put things into perspective for the time being. I have work to do on myself, and am planning a weekend camping asap to collect some wild shrooms, for the " factory reset " that's just me, it's not the answer for everyone, but nearly 25 years experience with them so that's where I'm going. Take care brother. 😎

Been waiting for this all week!! This film made my heart race. I have walked this stretch and seen plenty of carp but I had no idea they were this beautiful as I never fished for them. Well done Alfie mate. Effort = Reward. Awesome campaign. All the best with your business!

Alfie, bardzo Ci dziękuję za promocję wędkarstwa karpiowego!!! Karpie złowione przez Ciebie są przepiękne: cóż za wspaniałe barwy oraz ułuszczenie. Myślę, że ma to związek ze środowiskiem w którym żyją. Wszystkiego dobrego Alfie!!!

[@thebones]

Well worth waiting for this, lovely fish there Alfie, I loved the 'red carp'. Great story telling too, look forward to the next. BTW, I've been using Cryogen hooks for a while now, they've become my favourite hooks.

[@vincentbunk9405]

Awesome story! Well done! As a river/canal angler i can really relate to your experiences. After so many years fof trying i finally managed to catch a 32 pound mirror from my local canal, what an amazing feeling that was, and still is. Mission accomplisched! Tight lines from the Netherlands.

[@richiestan.]

Amazing angling buddy.

[@christopherjames-mills1094]

That 30+ looks straight out of an Oxfordshire estate lake, the colours on it! What an amazing capture from an urban environment. You can only give props to this young fella well done Alfie

[@herenow2895]

The 30 was an absolute stunner. Top man. When that rod went off at the end, I was going for the strike for a split second. Damn good fishing Alfie. A blow by blow account of the 30 capture would be good to hear.

There’s something special about catching carp from the canals and rivers. The different colours and scale patterns were great. The amount of effort Alfie puts in is impressive. Great video . Hopefully more to come. 👍🎣👍🎣

[@garyhopkinson1360]

Proper wild fish in it from rivers, better fight aswell, fukin love fishing tiny little chalk streams for big chub too, know what I mean?, catching big fish in a place most people would not even believe that fish lived there!! Fish that have never seen a hook, can't get any better!! Love it 😀

Take a stroll through the Olympic park Stratford there's some proper lumps about, but not many spots to fish

[@mattiemclean9882]

Thats right near where this is😉. I lived there for years before moving a month ago. I was even walking this stretch where Alfie is while he was fishing it without realising! Secret Squirrel is the perfect name for his company!!

[@robk5695]

Hello Stephen.h always wanted to fish the ribble as a carp angler I understand its hard but could be very rewarding, have no idea where to start looking been down the ribble looking as it's a local river to me but not found any carp could you be so kind to help? Let me in on the location of where there might be any carp? I have a good location for 10 lb plus barbel will gladly exchange locations although its not on the ribble but worth the drive Thanks

What happened to carp anglers having to wear a 'carp uniform' back in the 80 & 90's we just wore old clothes. Surprisingly we still caught some 😄😄😄 Catching a few pasties makes the big ones more welcome when they come, some lovely fish you caught, well done.

[@CraigRobinson1979]

brilliant.

[@Jameslow2486]

Wow, a rare indigenous Londoner. Should be a protected species, sadly they are facing extinction

[@mattiemclean9882]

I am also an indigenous Londoner. It pains me to say it but you are absolutely right. Most Londoners I know moved out to Essex years ago! I carp fished and lived in Essex from mid 90s to 2010 and loved it. I will be back in the Essex countryside just as soon as I can. I'm not going to blurt about how I'm the only white man on my street! 🤣

[@christophergeering3543]

Cracking fella

[@mariusbarnardo5592]

It's a passion..... I fish fresh as well as saltwater but specialize in freshwater.... Do the odd guide when the time allows me too. Pb is 26,7kg full scale carp. Plenty of fish around 14-16kg..... But haven't broken the 20kg mark since that fish. Been doing it for about 32 years. It is an addiction. Looking for anything over 6kg. And no, I don't do specimen nor do I fish with boilies...... I have been so lucky in my life never to have go to that level of fishing, waiting 2/3 days for a decent fish...... I do my research and put in the hours..... More than 90% of the time I will land a few slabs over 6kg's by going back to basics.... It's what I was put on this earth to do (or so I believe). Even guided on a few competitions and have always done well with complete beginners. It's a way of life that I, as a person will keep on perusing and practising till I physically can't anymore. Such a beautiful fish to target when you do it well....

[@danielmolyneux3094]

Nice one, but would like to have heard you telling us how nuchal they weigh when you show them

[@thespecimenhunters542]

There’s more to it than pounds and ounces, especially when you’re on a river. A 10lb Common from the river is worth more than any hand-fed 40 kept in a pond. For me anyway….

[@IanThompsonmohaanozz]

Well done

[@jamesburton668]

Have these carp originally come out the resavoir at Walthamstow? I bet some have in floods

[@mattiemclean9882]

They are from all over James. If you look at a map of East London with all the river/canal systems, you will see that carp could have come from almost anywhere to get to this stretch. Banging fish though, even the little ones!

[@jamesburton668]

@@mattiemclean9882 yes they certainly are pal!👌🔥 I’m from the north of England (Leeds) so I’ve never fished it but I’ve seen Alfie on it a few times. Just last week a big common called Kamara was banked at 46lb from a place called Ladywood. There’s a threat those fish could end up in river system cos it runs past it. They call it Kamara cos football pundit Chris Kamaras son first caught it when the pit was first opened up under new owners. Waffling now🤣 but yeah their bangers mate!

[@Edmatthewspsychicmedium]

Have you ever done river carp fishing as it takes a lot of time pre baiting and doing your home work with still no guarantee they are going to turn up and be willing to feed on the day you actually manage to get time to Chuck a bait in! It’s a whole different type of fishing to fishing a lake and knowing exactly what’s in there! He’s put in the work and deserves credit for his results! If it was all down to tackle and bait then we would all of had the biggest fish in the lakes we fish. I’ll be honest and I can’t be bothered to put that much effort in and just try and enjoy my angling without taking it to seriously as to me it’s just fishing! I say well done for your success! For me I couldn’t be a sponsored angler as that would take all the fun out of my fishing
