Reedy Fen - Part one - Carp fishing

I started to fish Reedy Fen on the 3rd of May 2023, in the following two months I only managed two runs, losing both fish. However this gave me hope and by the end of June I was putting the pieces together.
Reedy fen is a farm reservoir with a good stock of carp. Around 5-6 acres, the margins have extensive reed beds with a thick layer of silk-weed growing down the margin slopes. The deepest part of the lake is 28 feet with 14 feet just a few rod lengths out.
For more films, posts, pictures and articles go to my website: thecarpcatcher...

[@bwana4711]

[@fishingmadalan7327]

I thought you made your own bait and even took orders yourself for it ? Or was that just a one off I watched you making in your kitchen

[@TheCarpCatcher]

I made my own bite on and off for 40 years so now I'm retired

[@jamesriley6344]

Hi mate. So you aren't making your own bait any more?

[@TheCarpCatcher]

Not anymore, at least not right now

[@jamesriley6344]

@TheCarpCatcher fair enough mate. You are one of the things that influenced me to start making my own. Never looked back since.

[@P463Y]

When’s the next video Steve 🎣

[@TheCarpCatcher]

Where I'm currently fishing has a strict no publicity rule. When I find somewhere that wants the publicity then I'll film.
