Got any more tips that perhaps I missed? Comment below to help each other out 😁 hope you all enjoyed it too

Top tip: 1 rod at a time if surface fishing 😜😂

[@nuffinbutfishing]

@@fiestaturbo1287 Where's the drama in that though 🤣

Coat your mixers in a stick mix or insect meal after the oil. Gets a nice spread of particle that gets them grubbing harder.

[@albiewilliams6830]

Absolutely love surface fishing some great tips there hopefully they will help people to start doing it and having great success with them I managed to catch my new pb last Friday on a bit of bread pinched on the hook 5 ft from the bank

[@nuffinbutfishing]

It's a great fun method. Well done on the new pb 👌🏻

[@deedontworry]

Surface fishing is the best! 🔥

Last weekend i went suface fishing in the hot sun with feeder rods and bolt bubble and caught lots of carp even a 25lb mirror i caught the weak before on a method feeder (it is the biggest mirror in the lake) so the owner was shocked I also had a 18lb ghosty also biggest in the lake 🎉 Surface fishing is great i prefer a small chunk of bread crust straight on the hook with mixers as loose feed Anyways nice video 🎉

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Freelined bread is great if you can for sure 👌🏻

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Nice work Joe!

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Cheers Martyn 😁

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

i love surface fishing hearing them slurpin up the floatin bread or pellets i use very fun way of fishing.. Awsome video Joe

[@nuffinbutfishing]

It's a great sound 🤣 cheers for watching

[@pandaoutdoors4x4s]

great video as always mate keep up the great work am hitting up a local park lake this weekend hopefully catch a few and make a video my self

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Cheers for watching. Good luck on your session 👌🏻

[@PI7ABR3D]

Ive got a fox warrior 2.75lb. Cost me a tenner for my missus but its now my surface rod. Got a little map carp reel with 12lb line and its such a fun setup. Reels a tad small for the rod but the rod is so light compared to my 3.25s i have a great time with it. Have zero plans on changing it unless i break it. Best way to fish imo

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Lighter rods have definitely made me enjoy surface fishing more 🎣👌🏻

[@CarpAndMore]

Can I use method feeder rod with quiver tip for surface fishing, got a spare rod and reel with spare spool so I can put a surface line and use it as my float rod ? I fish in place with carps around 25lb

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Should be plenty strong enough 👌🏻

[@goplanit]

Complex-T popups, same colour and size as Chum biscuits, and they don't keep coming off like Chum does after a couple of casts. Assuming you're using Chum as your freebies.

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Nice one 👌🏻

[@MikeK-sg3eb]

That’s a good shout, do you find the 12 or 15mm size works best?

[@goplanit]

@@MikeK-sg3eb 12mm

[@MikeK-sg3eb]

That’s great, thanks for replying, definitely going to give them a go

[@nathanfogg9758]

Definitely my preferred way to fish, taking them off the top. What size hook and pattern is your go too when floater fishing?

[@nuffinbutfishing]

I tend to use a size 8 floater claw. Never really gone any smaller

[@riddleslondon]

Bakers dog biscuits - big round meatball type - super buoyant for long time and right size to go for the bigger carp.

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Nice 👌🏻

[@richpeas1924]

Marielle: Joe have you seen the olive oil? Joe: we've run out of it! Watching the bread/mixer intently, fish slurps it down, STRIKE!!! & then find out you been watching the wrong bait 🙄

[@nuffinbutfishing]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kwaka5704]

Nice video. How do you deal with wildfowl pestering you? (Geese/ducks/cutes etc). Are the carp life red torches worth a purchase at a last resort?

[@nuffinbutfishing]

They didn't bother me at all on this trip but the best method I have found in the past is to simply feed them off if you can. I've gone through half a bag of dog biscuit before just to fill them up. Once they are full they tend to leave you alone. I don't have a bird scarer torch but they could be used I suppose yeah

[@kevinwinter7050]

Just to add, feeding them off is the only way on many places, but using bright yellow floating braid can unnerve gills and ducks, especially if cast onto the far bank and tightened enough to sit above the surface. I know Dave lane uses a model gull cast out onto the surface to spook them off too If feeding them off, cheap, out of date bread fills them up very quickly( and floating crust can often be taken more readily by carp, and usually isn't spat as quickly)

[@jasoncarty2175]

Great vid curley,but it would be very handy if you went into more detail for a novice like myself....size line of mainline/hooklink also tc of dedicated rod pls mate,thanks👍

[@nuffinbutfishing]

15lb mainline, 12lb hooklink, and the rods are usually around the 2 1/4lb tc Mark 👌🏻

Glad you enjoyed it. Its shearwater 👌🏻

Is this peg 1 on shearwater?

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Yeah it was 👌🏻

[@keepcalmandboxon]

Let me know cheers

[@Yosume2k]

Any tips for keeping the wildlife off your spot?

[@nuffinbutfishing]

@Yosume2k unfortunately, the best way I have found is to simply feed them off. Bring way more mixers than you need and just stick loads in. Once they are full they get bored

[@greggbeere6007]

Another good tip is wear a cap that doesn't continuously fall over your eyes, so you can see what's going on 😂

[@nuffinbutfishing]

That's more a hair issue than a cap one 🤣🤣

[@Gareth04100]

Your hooks are massive. I take my son carp fishing with a banded mixer. Using a snapped of black waggler short hook length and size 14 banded hair rig. I bet he would out catch you.

[@ruthless964]

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Sounds like fun but noone mentioned anything about it being a competition 🎣 glad your son enjoys his fishing 😁

[@leem25]

and i bet his dad is harder than your dad 🙄

[@ancientgodsword]

Wow..... What an absolute fucking helmet

[@PI7ABR3D]

Yes and you probably don't have specimen sized carp in there. 🪖

[@andym5900]

Sadly where I fish surface fishing is banned 😂😂😂😂😂

[@nuffinbutfishing]

Surface fishing bans are always annoying 🤣

@@nuffinbutfishing when I last fished forty years ago it was a delight My best bait was an alcoholic flavoured floating cake.
