[@trevorchapman9050]

Every time I watch this man he displays a new tactic or method to an expert plus level, makes you wonder why you bother! Just class, Rolls-Royce of fishing! Des for the four big finals this year!!!!! 😊

[@GUMBOOTS9]

One of the best videos I've watched that Des, brilliant 👍

[@michaelabbott6271]

Another awesome video and what a cracking margin session with some beauties in the net. I'm just getting back into coarse fishing after a few years break, and I've just ordered a Shakespeare Super Team 11m pole as I'm on a budget and this pole didn't break the bank,ive seen the reviews about it and seen people putting it through its paces well impressed. I started fishing at the age of 7 and I still watch videos to gain extra tips to help put fish in the net, keep up the videos and catching those lumps.

[@seannunn6630]

Top video Des...never thought about fishing off the deck in the margins.

[@lawrencem4811]

Awesome vid and tips. Always love your vids Des. My favourite method is the margin pole if possible. Thanks Des & Sonubaits. Tight Lines Des

[@ianholland1366]

Best float for dobing

[@minisam1988]

Fished that lake yesterday, it was difficult going and the fish are shy but a sure way to catch on that lake is floating bread.

[@andreim841]

Try one corn kernel on the hook with 2 live maggots on the hook's point, it is a deadly bait for big carp in my neck of the woods...

[@andrewpegg1050]

I learned alot thanks des

[@sillybait1329]

Another great video Des with some really helpful tips I have bought a monster edge margin pole but the top. Kits are very long for a margin pole any tips please or will a short kit be available soon

[@gavingoldthorp4093]

Have a look at the short top kits for Preston's Pro-Type pole range - they should fit your margin pole!

[@sillybait1329]

@@gavingoldthorp4093Thanks Gavin, do they fit straight onto the number 3 section and can they handle red hydro with a pulla ?

[@gavingoldthorp4093]

@@sillybait1329 Yes they fit strait on to your no3 the same as a normal top-kit. They are the roller-puller tops but I don't honestly know about their elastic rating! I think being primarily aimed at f1 anglers I doubt they're up to a short length of red hydro but I don't know for sure.

[@sillybait1329]

@kieron williams the top kits are over 2.5 metres and I've already cut them back for purple and red hydro, I'm going to check out the heron F1 kit to see if it is better

[@geoffdavison6776]

Thanks Des Learned a lot again today

[@barrybrown4823]

Be good if u could put the links in the drop down box poles floats ground bait ect

[@Microplus461]

A quistion, i bought matrix size 14 hooks with baiband. U staightend the hooks 4 Times in a row on carp. What is going wrong.

[@zeus-qv5ym]

Can't use groundbait on my local, would you recommend feeding more particles by pole pot or hand to try and bring and keep fish on your peg?

[@Gabrielg688]

Try 2mm pellets the carp find them hard to find so it keeps them there alot

[@martinbishop3624]

Hello, I have plenty of luck fishing the margins using heavy baits such as mussels or prawn but my issue is when I'm fishing shallow instead of on the bottom I find the bait too heavy and the float sinking. Have you any tips on how to stop this from happening? Many thanks

[@zeus-qv5ym]

Go heavier on float or remove shots

[@nigelmaidment7145]

Hi Des what size spoon net you using in the vid. Cheers and Tight lines.

[@AndrewSmith-xw5st]

I've heard a lot of people using dead maggots, whats the advantage of dead ones over live ones and also how to you kill them?

[@Sonubaits]

They don't wriggle around and attract small fish as much. Also less prone to flicking over and masking the hook point. You can freeze them, or add them to hot water that way takes some practice but essentially you want the water just hot enough to kill but not scold the maggots. To do this start with hot water and add cold gradually (testing with a single maggot) until they stretch out but dont discolour. Alternatively just take the air out of your maggots (for a while) and add straight to water on the bank.

So much effort and so much gear for piss pot little fish, a back pack a dozen or so Lures is far more rewarding. Can’t believe all that gear to catch vermin carp!!

[@sodthong]

How boring is that...

[@debbiemess9433]

Sodthong no need to share your opinion they make the videos for people who like it if it’s boring don’t watch it then 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
