Shore Fishing for Carp - A Simple Setup for Easy Results | Boatless Angler

[@lcg79]

Ivo, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the informative videos that you and your team put out. I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us. Based on your advice, I have caught 5 carp so far this spring. What a great fight and it has open up a new species to me that I really enjoy. Thanks again.

[@thundermistlures]

That's outstanding Luke - so glad you are enjoying some great days of fishing :)

[@fishnmetal4383]

Carp fishing is so fun. Pound for pound one of the best and simple fights in fresh water

[@tylernewell1126]

Nice video as always

[@thundermistlures]

so glad you enjoyed this carp episode and thanks for writing in :)

[@qussayali3401]

Thanks for the teaching and amazing advices

[@kristipinguli4497]

I enjoyed all of your carp videos thanks for posting them

[@adriananaya5142]

never been into carp fishing till i saw this video! great content

[@matthew53690]

good video. found a monster dead carp by me this year. he was the grand daddy of the lake. my stepdad used to use wild berries to catch them years ago.

[@thundermistlures]

interesting with the wild berries......

[@matthew53690]

Yep thats what my uncle said. He was like what the hell are we doing picking berries i thought we were going fishing. They landed a ton of them that day.

[@zalo_sl2065]

lol

[@Benhamin2002]

I absolutely love the carp videos

[@thundermistlures]

....so glad to hear that....we'll be sure to do more carp fishing so stay tuned :)

[@AaronHendu]

A lot of carp fishing done in my town...lots of Europeans into it, and lots of them all have their own boilie recipe...I've tried so many different kinds, they all see me using corn, and say something like, "Oh, you have to try these, you'll never use corn again!" and give me a few of their boilies. I now just decline, and the sit and watch their line as I am landing fish after fish...nothing beats some sweet canned corn in my area...gets them every time. Just look for the little wakes the fish make when moving around the river, toss a hook loaded with carp right onto their path, and wait for them to pass by again...bam, almost every time.

[@AaronHendu]

I have actually caught lots of carp on twister tail plastic grubs too, using them with no weight on the surface trying to pull smallies out of the shallows. Full on chase and take from a large carp one day on a black 3" grub lol

[@thundermistlures]

glad the corn is working well and interesting that you also caught them on plastics :)

[@AvionJordan]

Thunder it's lures love your vid I get home from school every day and watch new or old episodes!👍😊

[@thundermistlures]

so glad you are enjoying our videos and nice to hear you refer back to some of our older episodes as well :)

[@petemoss9693]

Hi IVO - Look's like you had a nice day fishing for carp - I enjoy too fishing for them - they are as you say very strong fish and at times takes a long time to reel them to shore - keep your videos coming .

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this carp episode and we will definitely have more to come :) Good fishing

[@scottb4540]

I used to have no idea what you meant by tangles until I started using the sliding sinker rig. Now I know the struggle is real.

[@AvionJordan]

I live in Winnipeg manitoba and it's summer bassically it's 30°c every day and there's good fishing and lots of green

[@thundermistlures]

Great to hear from you in Winnipeg....plenty of great fishing there :)

[@qussayali3401]

Sorry didn't know you are north of me ...I enjoy your videos and great carp fishing. ...wish me luck ..thank you

[@thundermistlures]

good luck :)

[@dxnnyboi]

amazing keep making great videos you guys are the best

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for the great feedback Daniel....much appreciated!! Good luck on the water

[@catfishnature5053]

good video keep up the good work!

[@JoeshmoProductions17]

Fabulous video

[@supersabrosinho]

I was off by 10 lbs over on my guess. I'm also off when I reel one in swearing it's over 20 lbs and then it's a bluegill

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :)

[@elhippi24]

thank you for all your videos they're truly one of the best out here

[@thundermistlures]

So glad you are enjoying our videos and really appreciate the great feedback you gave.....thanks! Good fishing,

[@mrtings]

Thanks for the videos! Because of your tips I caught my personal best carp at 18-20 lbs

[@thundermistlures]

....that's outstanding Shabba...well done and very nice carp!!

[@jedijerdrums]

I loved the guessing game! That was a fun way to interact for us 'couch bound' folks! LOL

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :)

[@PREPFORIT]

VERY DECENT carp ! I'm asking for those T turns for Christmas👍🏼

[@thundermistlures]

LOL.....nice Christmas Gift....or at least stocking stuffer :) :)

[@104silvae]

Thank you love the videos

[@mattber7715]

sweet vid man! plus right when im about to do some carp fishing👍

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this episode and hope your carp fishing turns out to be a great time :)

[@adventuresofanexpat]

Looks like fun!

[@thundermistlures]

carp fishing really is a lot of fun and hope you are able to get out there and give it a try :)

[@joshhenrikson3223]

carp is my favorite fish

[@thundermistlures]

..glad to hear that Josh....carp are a lot of fun and are quickly growing in popularity :)

[@CEOAirsoft]

I never have carp strip my hook. But then again I use a hair rig setup. All the fish I guessed 9 pounds but I can usually guess within a pound but it's hard to tell unless I can actually see the fish in person. By the way, I've noticed that carp feed much harder when the air pressure is lower as long as the water is the right temperature so sunny days aren't always the best.

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for sharing your tips with us :)

[@reeceerlbacher183]

Congrats on 70k subcribers! Keep up the good work.

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks Reece.....it's people like you & our great subscribers, that help make a positive difference :)

[@ericsoutdoors8845]

Ivo if you use a hair rig it will be a huge difference almost every single carp will always be hooked and you will never lose one because the hook is bare which helps with hook sets. I caught my PB of 42 lb

[@thundermistlures]

congrats on you PB....42 lbs is huge!! We done....my PB is 40 lbs

[@shorethingfishing4044]

i went into a tackleshop the other day to get some bucktails, i saw your logo on the door, looked at the wall and nearly jumped for joy when i saw t turns, i would buy a bunch when i would go to Pennsylvania but now i have them on long island. whenever i use bait for fluke or any other bottom fishing i use t turns

[@thundermistlures]

....that's outstanding....so glad you found the T-Turns as they really do work great and good luck Fluke Fishing :) I also love to fish for bottom fish as well

[@shorethingfishing4044]

Thundermist Lures thanks, tight lines

[@fireriver6104]

oh you had that long leader line.....tricks me every time with that

[@thundermistlures]

...leader line makes a difference :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6TYd6qFZZVlsKs

[@northernfishing6922]

Awesome video

[@thundermistlures]

So glad you enjoyed this carp episdoe and thanks for taking time to write to us :)

[@GaiusJuliusCaesarMasterOfRome]

I gussed 9 pounds so pretty close. Great fish!

[@thundermistlures]

...well done...very close!

[@peterw7547]

Thanks Ivo ... for another great video! I'm a bit jealous, I have days here in Holland that I do not catch anything, do you never have a day you do not catch a fish? But this video is beautiful again, though I miss Antonio this time. I'm looking forward to the next clip ... it's really amazing !! Greetings and good luck from Holland Peter.

[@thundermistlures]

Grat to hear from you in Holland Peter and thanks for such great feedback :) I need to get Antonio out more often :) PS> sometimes I go fishing and do not catch fish, but it is rare...only because we have plenty of great fishing here :)

[@yartmus]

great video as always

[@thundermistlures]

thanks and good luck on the water :)

[@josh1000100]

Loved the video! I don’t know where you are from, this the first video of yours I watch. You should check with local laws and regulations. In if you are in North America those carp invasive so lot of local laws are going to say not to release them into the water. Eat them, kill them, cut them for bait, but don’t release them back into the water.

[@Matt-sl1wg]

Those are common carp and the where he's fishing in southern Ontario they are not considered invasive.

[@wnyfishergirl]

Great video!!!! I did pretty well with my guesstimates only off by a half a pound but I've caught a lot of Carp That's what I'm going for next after I finish with the Bass so it was really Great to see this video from You gets me feeling excited lol Awesome job :) to bad Antonio missed out

[@thundermistlures]

great guessing....well done! Glad to hear you are going out for carp again and good luck out there

[@noahhuibers6643]

Are you fishing at Lake Gibson in Thorold, Ontario, right near the convience store at Collier Rd??

[@thundermistlures]

Lake Gibson area is a great area but this was Lake Erie :)

[@Kmnnz1]

Hey Ivo great vid. how long usually until you decide to recast somewhere else or move, or do you just stay in one place?. And I noticed the pic quality of the vids have been getting nicer. Would you ever do a behind the scene video equipment and such, thanks

[@thundermistlures]

Glad you enjoyed this carp episode and generally speaking, I will give a spot an hour or so, before deciding to move - thanks for the suggestion about the behind the scenes episode and good luck on the water :)

[@scottb4540]

What kind of hooks should I use for carp? Will circle hooks work okay? If so what size ought?

[@thundermistlures]

we like to use size 4 or size 2 hooks - can be octopus style or circle hook style.....just like we have on our pre-tied T-Turn Bait Rigs #5B and #6B :)

[@soad4jt589]

I just found your channel, but I want to see you fishing with a bank stick alarm, a real carp rod and reel and a catapult I think you will enjoy it better too!

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for finding us and for your feedback :)

[@james6495]

Do you usually fish multiple rods or just the one?

[@thundermistlures]

...only allowed one rod from shore...if i was in the lake on a boat, then I could use 2 rods :)

[@joshhenrikson3223]

nice fish

[@thundermistlures]

thanks for writing in Josh and good luck on the water :)

[@joshhenrikson3223]

Fish for don't forget Northern on the next video

[@sueleigh1018]

You really know what you're doing to have this kind of success! Do you clean the fish or make Laura do it?!! (When you keep them, I mean.)

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Sue....I do all the fish cleaning.....but Laura does help with the cooking part :)

[@dankaf5346]

What rod and reel setup do you use? Do you think a medium rod and 4000 reel would work ?

[@thundermistlures]

HI Domenic....I have a few different set-ups, but a medium action rod is fine for carp and I would suggest using a 7 foot rod (or even 7 1/2 foot) and as for the reel, so long as it has a good drag system and instant anti-reverse, that would do a good job for you :)

[@dankaf5346]

Thundermist Lures thanks!!

[@TheFishingExperiment]

I did ok on the guesses for the carp. How do you locate carp? You made it look so easy lol I've tried a couple areas but never had much luck.

[@Neanderthal75]

If you fish in a river, look for turns and small lagoons where the water slows down. Carp is everywhere, but in slower water, your corn isn't going to be drifted away, otherwise you'd be just feeding them 500 feet away from you.

[@TheFishingExperiment]

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go.

[@thundermistlures]

...looks like you got some great tips from Frank (thanks Frank) and in addition to his tips, if you have weed beds in the area, try fishing on the outside of the weed beds as the carp will actively follow weed edges as well :)

[@froglaps40]

I just got a oklahoma joe smoker... I need to try smoked carp in it!

[@thundermistlures]

...let me know how it turns out :)

[@brendankick229]

Hey Ivo, I was fishing in a pond where i know there is carp. I used some corn and had no luck. But I have had luck before with corn. Not this time... Any ideas. Even just to catch panfish or any fish in ponds, lakes?

[@thundermistlures]

...give it a try again once the weather warms up - carp like warmer water and get more active at that time - otherwise, give boilies a try :)

[@HeartOfMetalx11]

Great videos are those t-turns at peter's tackle in st Catharines??

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Shayne....yes....Peter's Tackle carries the size Small T-Turns...not sure if they carry any ohter sizes or not, but I know they have teh Small for sure :)

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

you have such a great strong arm , you should call up then Bluejays for a tryout!!!!

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :)

[@nilin7823]

Get a quick question. I'm fishing in a river, which is not deep but really really wide. So, where shall I cast? Just cast near shore, or as far as possible?

[@thundermistlures]

try to find a bend in the river, or some slack water and try those areas first and if the river has any weed beds, cast on the outside edge - here is a video where I am fishing a river, and it is wide, and you will see the weed beds close to shore...so chances are you should be able to cast fairly close to the shore and catch carp :)

[@nilin7823]

WOW! I'm excited that you give me a reply! I have been following your channel on youtube and facebook for more than two years! Thanks a lot for those videos talking about time, locations, setups, and baits! By the way, what shall I do in order to find the edge of weed beds in a muddy river?

[@thundermistlures]

....toss you line out and slowly drag it back towards you....you will be able to feel once your line hits weeds and then you will know how far out they are :) Thanks for the great feedback and glad you 've been with us for over 2 years!! Good luck on the water

[@nilin7823]

Sure! until next time, good luck and good fishing!

[@mikedavisclassiccountry8704]

Go to Walmart and get a spring rod holder there about a dollar apiece and they work great

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for the tip Mike :)

[@itzko1]

what kinda hook are you using?? I tried circle hooks for carp and cant seem to hook one on those

[@thundermistlures]

The pre-tied T-Turn bait rigs come with size 2 Mustad hooks...rig#5B comes with octopus style and rig #6B comes with circle hook style :)

[@mistersisterf1str42]

ole gravely bay ;)

[@thundermistlures]

....it's a classic :)

[@bradleydouglass265]

What size hook are you running if you dont mind me asking?

[@thundermistlures]

size 2

[@james6495]

Ivo, what size and style of hook were you using?

[@thundermistlures]

Hi James - the pre-tied T-Turn Bait rig that I was using comes rigged with size 2, Mustad hooks - there is an octopus model and a circle hook model for carp :)

[@james6495]

Thanks, I will check those out. What rod and reel are you using in this video?

[@casbarchris]

Great video as always Ivo! My guess was about 2 pounds under the real weight. But, that 'challenge' forced a question into being. Have you ever thought of doing a giveaway type challenge?

[@thundermistlures]

....perhaps someday :) Good idea - thanks

[@dirtymikentheboyz5935]

How heavy is your sinker ?

[@thundermistlures]

3/4 oz :)

[@rickdot4902]

I was about 1 pound short, with all three :)

[@thundermistlures]

That's excellent guesswork - very close )

[@tagteamfishing1273]

Hey Ivo I guess 12 pounds but you know that the camera add 2 pounds so not bad hahaha great video like always.

[@thundermistlures]

LOL....great guess Luis :)

[@CristianoRonaldo-wt4oj]

you should give a thundermist prise for guessing the weight

[@jamespomponio1733]

where ya fishing in this video??

[@thundermistlures]

...eastern Basin of Lake Erie on the CDN side near the city of Port Colborne :)

[@taylamayde]

i guessed the 1st right but when u said it was smaller for second and thought my eye played tricks on me and said 8.5 but i guess 11 pounds on the last right away he looked big

[@thundermistlures]

...well done!! Great guessing

[@pervezak]

10 IBS was my guess

[@bryanoliver5550]

My first guess was 10 lbs. , no.2 looks like 12 lbs. , I never ate carp , unless I was served it at a restaurant somewhere ? We used to float white bread at Constitution pond , we`ed remove crust & use no weight or swivel , only a hook tied to line then I`d lob it out , then wait & wait & meanwhile I would "make sure no ducks eat it" . Back in 1977 - 1978 years . By the way Great video , now I want to go carp fishing , license first .

[@thundermistlures]

LOL.....thanks for sharing the memories and hope you are able to get out there soon :)

[@donnadixon8991]

good video as always ivo...catfish 58

[@thundermistlures]

...thanks John....so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking time to write :)

[@doraiddamman8725]

Nice video, but it would've been way better if we could see those bites or hook sets (best feeling is seeing a bite and setting the hook or even better when the carp runs with the line!) , Camera should be recording all the time and cut the "waiting until getting a bite time" from it, just an idea to make the videos even better. Thank for sharing as always.

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for the feedback - totally understand.......perhaps sometime we will be able to do that :)

[@danielrussell3040]

Was close guessed ten cause just looks like a ten pounder

[@hebahmustafa1163]

I guessed 9 and 9.5lbs....not too bad considering I have yet to catch anything over 2lbs :p

[@thundermistlures]

...i'd say that's an excellent guess and hopefully you'll start to catch some bigger fish as well :)

[@inmotion81]

Guessed 15

[@e1tonymzmz617]

good. carps. wat you have 4 bait

[@thundermistlures]

Just using corn :)

[@e1tonymzmz617]

O. good. Tanks

[@jplayboijoe36]

i always catch carp.i wonder how to catch buffalo fish

[@thundermistlures]

....they should hit corn as well :)

[@VictoriaEXx]

u didn't show us the setup🤔just the t swivel and corn

[@Termenoil]

9 again

[@fishersdigest9245]

I guessed the exact weight 13.3 haha

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :) :) :)

[@Neanderthal75]

I guessed 14lbs, because carp size can be deceiving. Some of them can weigh a lot more than another with similar size.

[@thundermistlures]

...very true Frank - carp can definitely be deceiving :) Thanks for writing in

[@aminecraftalpaca1221]

10.7

[@parkerrusso3731]

I thought it was 12 pounds great video by the way:)

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for tuning in and 12 pounds was a great guess, especially considering you're trying to judge on screen...well done :)

[@brochill5941]

We're is this

[@thundermistlures]

Port Colborne ON :)

[@RayBartsch]

My guess on the first was 11.3lbs

[@thundermistlures]

Excellent guess - almost bang on :)

[@patrickmarshall4311]

Well that's a great tip for carp fishing but fishing in Colorado with corn is illegal.

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Patrick....boilies are a great alternative, and here is a boilie recipe for you as it is easy to make your own: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJbaopV-fL6Xedk Also, in case you are interested, here is a video where I use boilies and have a great day of fishing :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYurnq2mbbSboJY

[@fireriver6104]

what main line did you have on your reel? That is not 20 pound braid that is flouro carbon or mono. what kind of line and what strength?

[@thundermistlures]

...actually, it was 20 lb ThunderBraid :)

[@SpiritofWildWings]

I thought that first carp was over 15, so I was way off there.

[@thundermistlures]

...carp can be deceiving and it's difficult to judge on camera - thanks for taking time to write and for participating :)

[@minimumspice869]

9.5 for second carp

[@thundermistlures]

Thanks for writing in :)

[@jamesbatchelor5463]
