The Truth Behind Spawning Carp - Simon Scott

[@matthewcollinsangler]

I’ve always enjoyed listening to Simon Scott. A very knowledgeable man who has devoted his life to understanding absolutely everything about carp. Great stuff!

[@malcolmfunnell4501]

Mr carp . Knows more about carp than carp themselves. True legend 👍👍👍

[@00markelliott00]

Fascinating video. It’s always good to listen to Simon.

[@lukeedmed9466]

Finally someone has made video covering spawning in depth who better than “the human carp” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@MattConyard]

This is an old video

[@Carlmasters89]

Still love it

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

@@MattConyard And? does it's age invalidate anything covered?. Anyways It's from ~2018/2019, it's not that old.

[@jamesmanning387]

Can listen to Simon all day , a very interesting man

[@kingkompany5908]

Glad how that panned out after an incredibly weird first minute.

[@lukemurphy5868]

Simon is like an open carp encyclopedia very interesting stuff 👏

[@nigelmiddleton2727]

Excellent video to clear up myths we fisherman though we knew about spawning carp 👏👏

[@davidoldboy5425]

Wow Simon, not often nowadays I'm impressed but I was with you, great succinct explanations.

[@SteveSmith-yc9ss]

Very informative, nice one.

[@martinlawrence8427]

Great video!

[@markeastwood14]

Very educational stuff

[@robinstenning9427]

Great info Simon explains a lot always suspected that different groups of carp spawned at different times. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the reasons and that males will be up for it whenever the females are ready to spawn.

[@TRUCKAD38]

A great video And truly understand why the close season should be brought back on lakes 👍

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

Well the issue there is that carp quite often spawn beyond the end of the traditional close season, which is why on most carp lakes it was done away with. Many will close the lake when spawning starts for differing periods of time. For our native species which are diurnal(which basically means they react to the length of day to trigger spawning) the closed season covers that almost perfectly, it's only tench that can spawn outside that window.

[@MartynsAnglingAdventures]

Great insight.

[@marktunleytackletv]

Opportunist Bunk-Up ( 5:45 ) Lol. I did laugh Simon. Great scientific terminology. Lol

[@daveshaw5293]

Great information from scotty as usual 👌👍but they spawn the lakes close we cant fish - they stop/recover we can fish !

[@pokeme8347]

Imagine if Simon & Terry had a baby??

[@pleasantville4529]

Do carp not go on to eat the eggs that are spawned and fertilized? It's quite common to see lots of eggs getting eaten by carp. Not only carp eggs, but also the eggs of other fish. This is why carp are considered an invasive species, because after a few years, there are no other species left?

[@lachojski2005]

Plenty of “carp lakes” have roach Rudd break perch pike in them.have done for years,never heard of carp wiping a lake out of smaller fish.it’s normally the owners who take other fish out.

[@pleasantville4529]

@@lachojski2005 I am only speaking of my personal experiences. My favourite lake used to hold a big head of quality tench, some big bream, so many roach of all sizes, plus crucians to specimen size. About 20 years ago, someone decided to introduce 250 small carp. Since then, the carp have grown to over 30lb, while it is now impossible to catch even a single fish other than carp. My experience lead to my comment, although I know commercials are awash with silvers, my favourite lake is now the domain of carp anglers only. Tight lines.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

They’re not an invasive species but equally they could be classed as non-indigenous as they were introduced to the UK several hundred years ago from Eastern Europe. As the previous commenter, I’ve never heard of carp wiping out silver fish,tench or bream but as he said fishery owners often remove them because nobody wants to fish for them. In fact the syndicate where I fish there are shedloads of tench and most are 7lb plus……catches of 20 to 50 tench are not uncommon.

[@welshman197]

Propolis from Holland and Barrett 👍

[@jack14kd]

So lakes shutting for 6 or 8 weeks for spawning are taking the piss then

[@turokforever007]

Not really as different spawning times.

[@drm4147]

No! They're lakes that can afford to really look after the fish.

[@stephenridd6834]

"Normal human being" is someone who doesn't fish????? Sorry but anyone who does NOT fish is absolutely SUB-HUMAN in my opinion. Total purpose of life, the universe and everything!

[@Dogmanzzzzz]

Elliot making out he’s cares 😂 didn’t stop him throwing in dishwasher tablets to the snags at snake pit did it. What a mug he is !!!!
