The Big Water Adventure

Carp Fishing: The big, wild waters of Europe always get the pulse racing - but they are no easy target. Join me as we tackle three big, low stocked public reservoirs and try to catch some of the amazing fish they hold.......

Great video as always Steve. God bless queen Joan. What a wonderful life you both have. Hard work, but must be so enjoyable. Keep up your amazing videos. Make sure you keep him on his toes Joan ❤.

Fantastic film ! Really shows every side of fishing some stunning waters, would love to spend my retirement doing the same when I comes ! 🙂👍🏻

[@iainmacvicar5858]

Joan & Steve. Hard earned fish. All the better for it. Lesser anglers may well have blanked. Keep 'em coming, quality entertainment, every time.

[@stevebriggs4638]

[@stevebriggs4638]

[@grahamunderwood9353]

captured the wildness of it all superbly ,and loved the use of the nash mat as a ferry

[@stevebriggs4638]

glad you liked it - yes the air cradle has many uses 😁😁

[@garyguest.1885]

Always a brilliant watch. Carp fishing for 45 years myself didn’t go to Cassien back in the day & I’ve never fished abroad…I must admit I’d be intimidated by such a vast expanse of water. Good angling mate - All the best to you & Joan 👍🏻

[@stevebriggs4638]

Thanks Gary yes Cassien was where it all started and I still love those big adventures, they can be tough for sure but so exciting!!!

[@garyguest1885]

[@stevebriggs4638]

thanks very much we love travelling the world together but those big wild waters are the best

[@davidcoates3330]

Another superb video Steve , absolutely awe inspiring stuff . You have to brave to tackle those kinds of venue 💪, you were one of the true pioneers of overseas Carp fishing, and you're still doing it today . Fantastic 👍❤

[@stevebriggs4638]

Cheers Dave still love those big ones!!

[@ianglamb]

Cracking video Steve, great to see you and Joan still successfully fishing the public lakes - still my favourite venues !!

[@stevebriggs4638]

Cheers Ian yes loved every minute mate 👍👍🎣🎣

[@fishingforabite]

Great video mate, can’t wait to get to try some European waters, gives a great insight watching your videos and the scenery is unbelievable ❤ proper peaceful 👏 and some lovely fish to top it off!

[@stevebriggs4638]

I always love fishing new places and finding those big waters off the beaten track, it's amazing what's out there really!!!

[@escapeCL]

Lovely Steve. At the last lake I was on the next point on the left of you but didn’t want to bother you.. Lovely place but it can be hard indeed.

[@stevebriggs4638]

Ahh I remember seeing you pull in there 👍👍

[@milanmozolic5493]

Hi Steve, great video. Congratulations and good luck.

[@stevebriggs4638]

Thank you 🙂👍

[@leejaynes5918]

Cracking film again steve love all your experiences 👍 Question for you mate? The arm you use for your deeper on your boat where can I get the arm from as looks spot on ? Many thanks steve for doing what you and Joan do showing us all some stunning locations around the world where you fish, and not forgetting the stunning monster fish you catch along the way Purely awesome mate! Lots love to Joan and you all best 👌 👍 lee ❤️

[@stevebriggs4638]

I actually got the arm direct from Deeper but they are based in Lithuania so that's not going to be an option but I'm sure they are available online from somewhere. To be honest just attaching the Deeper with a length of line or cord is just as good.

[@lincslegend6936]

Mega Steve, living the dream.

[@stevebriggs4638]

cheers it was a tough one - well tough three but enjoyed every minute

[@garrywright2120]

Superb as always Joan and Steve, always reality in your vids and proper down to earth… couldn’t Nashy release carpy bags for life ? We all end up with them in the swim and he could proper take the piss for prices as per usual.

[@stevebriggs4638]

😄😄😄😄 cheers

[@markeastwood14]

Great video Steve

[@stevebriggs4638]

Cheers 🙂👍🍻🍻

[@matt_b4865]

Did enjoy this watch Steve, like it's back to the original days of massive public lakes and barrages! I would love to have a go at that last lake you fishes so as a massive long shot can the venue be named or even dm'd? Contacts and lake info is probably the hardest part of carp fishing these days! All the best Steve 💪

[@stevebriggs4638]

thanks and I understand what you're saying but out of respect for the other guys fishing those waters I promised not to share names - they'd kill me 🙂🙂

[@matt_b4865]

@@stevebriggs4638i suppose the mutual and common respect we have for are other anglers is a fine thing and values to be upheld! And well can't blame a guy for trying 😜 enjoy the next adventure Steve and best of luck to you 💪🐋

[@benbirch2393]

​@stevebriggs4638 too right Steve, thank god for that. Thanks

[@tuxedot7949]

On lakes this size surely you would head on the end of the wind not just set up anywhere ?……..❤

[@stevebriggs4638]

no it sounds the obvious thing to do but on those big lakes it takes a really big wind to move the fish and what you tend to find is that there are lots of areas where the wind is blowing in to. Another thing is that the wind can often change direction several times in a short period as the lakes tend to be in valleys and the fish would have to swim miles to stay on the end of the wind.

[@reubenmills]

Great video 👍🏼 what's the tarp your using?

[@stevebriggs4638]

It's a Nash Tarp just new to the range - great bit of kit!!

[@nicks1467]

Nice vid stebe , where dod yiu get that cage around you prop from ? Looks good

[@stevebriggs4638]

Just from e bay it wasn’t expensive

[@daveshaw5293]

Great video and great carp from a great angler well done mr Briggs!👌do you think carp can actually see different colours I.e. pink yellow etc..even on the bottom of a lake bed where it's dark/black??kind regards David

[@stevebriggs4638]

thanks Dave. To be honest I don't really know how much they can actually see but I don't worry about it too much either, some of the presentations that I've seen carp caught on makes me think that most of the time they can't see what's down there and for that matter aren't clever enough to work out what they are.
