Estate lake CARP FISHING in the summer

This month I take a look at my approach to short sessions and overnighters. I visit the stunning Weston Park in Shropshire where I catch commons to over 30lb, as well as a mirror known as Five Star which I've been after for quite some time. I focus on the baits and tackle I carry, my baiting strategies, as well as my surface fishing rigs and tactics. The film includes playing action and big fish taking baits off the surface, set in a wonderful British country estate which offers open access fishing (visit www.rhfisheries.com for info).

It's a beautiful venue. Bivvy tucked in amongst those big trees. Simon your in the best spot 👍 piece of heaven and mother nature at its best. No better therapy than a trip next to such an epic Venue. Must be great waking up having a cuppa and smelling the fresh scent the plant live leaves around the lake. This video gets a 👍 from me.

My favourite place is Nostell, got so many great memories of chasing that fish mate, you're a lucky man living so close to it.

[@philhampshire2722]

[@SimonCrow]

Wow lovely comment Phil, really appreciate it mate. There are loads of good anglers in the UK

[@tcblue3095]

lovely vid i usually do overnighters always a dilema whether to use marker rod ? what rods do you use they look quite short ?

[@SimonCrow]

I was using the 12ft 3.5lb Extremity rods by Avid in this video mate

[@dec872]

Another belter Si. Weston’s a syndicate right? Some proper Carp there mate, it’s a rarity seeing carp with barbels in the UK these days 👌🏻

[@SimonCrow]

Proper Carp thanks mate, yes it’s syndicate but there is open access available in the boathouse swims 👍

[@bennicholson191]

Hi Simon can I ask why you fish with your rods up in the air and tight lines is it because it's weedy as it didn't look to far you was fishing just curious , cracking fish that place looks amazing

[@SimonCrow]

Ben Nicholson I like to keep my lines away from the weed Ben, I feel like I have better control over the fish 👍

[@bennicholson191]

@@SimonCrow I thought that was it hard to tell if it was weedy without seeing it thanks for replying bud

[@chucky1golf]

Are your lines always tight to the lead simon ?

[@SimonCrow]

Martin Crombie 90% of the time yes mate 👍

[@leecallaghan5294]

Great video Simon. it was interesting what you said about SLK for Big fish S7 for bites.whats your thoughts on this.

[@SimonCrow]

Lee Callaghan cheers Lee, yeh bait is mega important for me and SLK is very ‘fishy’ which I think big fish like, compared to the S7 which is more like an ‘attractor bait’ 👍

[@leecallaghan5294]

@@SimonCrow thanks very much for the reply, im on it like a car bonnet thanks..

[@SimonCrow]

It goes back to when I was a lad working for Rod Hutchinson, he told me if you wanna catch big fish go for a fishmeal, and if you wanna get loads of bites use a smelly fruity or spice bait. I’ve followed that theory ever since 👍

I can get out chair nice to hear from you mate kind regards maybe a session over nash church as it's all flat and comfortable with everything on site be nice to chat privately with you ? Good luck mate cheers LJ

[@SimonCrow]

Church Lake is a mega place, drop the lads at Nash about availability. You should be ok to get down there in a wheelchair, it was nice and flat last time I went there a couple of years back. See you at one of the shows no doubt, all the best Leanne

[@lazycarper7925]

you make it look simple :(

[@SimonCrow]

lazy carper Dont over complicate things mate, find the fish and use a rig and bait you’re confident in 👍

[@interoggationdynamics9639]

pretty sure all carp anglers say their favourite method is fishng off the surface.....i think they should just bite the bullet and start fly fishing

[@SimonCrow]

You can't beat watching them coming up and taking the bait, so frustrating yet so exciting too
