The Bugs were BAD but the Carp Fishing was GOOD!

Bank fishing for carp at a big lake in the evening. The flies were terrible, but the fishing made it worthwhile. More fishing videos, carp bait recipes, fishing gear list, and other good stuff linked below. Thanks for watching.

Nice comeback tom! And I agree those fish are really fighting good now. If we get into one of those old giants hold on!.

[@davidgarcia9808]

Nice action Tom, in the fall we get what I call Deer Flies, they love getting into your nose, eyes, and mouth. True fishermen, you held out longer than I would. Thanks for the video.

[@OutsidewithTom]

It's easier to stay when the fish are biting. Thanks David.

[@davidgarcia9808]

@@OutsidewithTom Yes that does help

[@65FullMoon83]

Enjoyed! 🙂👍 Ive heard dryer sheets work well against the insects. Ive never tried it though.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Personally, the smell of dryer sheets would repel me too. I can't stand that smell. 😁

[@lesstalkmorefishing1000]

When fishing's good, nothing else is bad enough to deter us 😂

[@OutsidewithTom]

I'll take bugs over jet skis any day.

[@chrisdado]

Good session Tom, and a nice looking lake.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks 👍

boy that fish looks beautiful 13:45

[@RebelRascalsailor]

Nice action Tom! I just came off a great session as well (sans bugs!). This was the first good bite I’ve experienced in about 2.5 weeks. Interesting that it coincided with you having a hot bite down there! I was reduced to fishing just a single rod as the doubles kept coming if I had more rigs in the water! Great to see you get into a bunch of nice fish! Keep ‘em coming!!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good to hear you're having some good fishing. FYI, the filming date is always in the description. My videos are usually at least a couple weeks behind real time.

[@channelchadfishing7796]

Great video Tom, the bugs have been crazy the last few times I filmed also

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@channelchadfishing7796]

@@OutsidewithTom Keep up the great vids Tom

[@james6495]

I give you props bro, I would never deal with bugs like that. I’d fish someplace else. You’re a real man lol. Do you use a mono leader when you’re fishing braid mainline?

[@OutsidewithTom]

I don't use a mono leader, but I've been considering it lately. Either that, or just go back to all mono.

[@apelsinss]

nice video, I always fish for carp with worms my pb is 4 kg carp, but on monday i'm gonna be trying to fish on boilies and pop ups for the first time I hope they work good!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good luck!

[@dougm.2855]

Glad to see you remembered your net this time. ThermaCELL is the best thing I have found for bugs.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yep, remembered the net. 😁

[@johnnystephenson6908]

When you have to horse them in they suck to deal with because of the energy

[@NazariiSemeniuk3]

Hi Tom. Are these rods 1pc or 2pc. What is pros/cons using 1pc vs 2pc rods ? Thanks.

[@OutsidewithTom]

2 piece. I would not be able to transport a 9ft one piece rod.

[@NazariiSemeniuk3]

You only have 9’ or sometimes you use shorter ?

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@NazariiSemeniuk3 Gear list is in the description.

[@johnnystephenson6908]

Carp know where everything is to get you hung up and or broke off

[@OutsidewithTom]

Kinda seems like that sometimes, doesn't it.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

Damn, those are some nasty flies. Are they common in the summer?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Really just depends on the location.

[@charlesswiger2260]

Put a clove of garlic in your shirt pocket and those bugs will not bother you buddy

[@OutsidewithTom]

Well, it would repel vampires at least.

[@charlesswiger2260]

Bugs don't like it either 😊
