Fishing for URBAN Carp around LONDON ft. Male Karens

[@fin1493]

You deal with the Male Karens so well, like you've studied their playbook and know their every move lol

[@andrewcadby]

7:47 he asks to see your rod licence, but he has no authority to do so. You are only legally required to show it to police and environment agency officers. It used to be that you were also required to show it to another rod license holder, if asked, but that changed in 2009

[@theHorizonLiner]

Correct!

[@DiamondCake2]

I wonder why they changed it? Maybe some sad acts were using their licence as an excuse to harass people?

[@andrewcadby]

@@DiamondCake2 that seems unlikely, I struggle to see how someone could do that

Thanks Denis 👊👊

It was abit of a crazy day Ngl 😂😂😂

[@theHorizonLiner]

Already working on those next episodes 🎬 and yea Cyrus is part of the bank life brotherhood now 🎣💪🔥 As for 7:39 that's just another attempted intimidation display. Considering his preaching about bad behaviour it would have been quite ironic if he had followed it up by starting a brawl in front of his kid, although there's already some irony to that whole scene as it is.

“You can’t fish here there’s big carp in here” mate there are big carp all over the world that get caught and they survive perfectly fine, what makes the big carp in that specific pond so delicate?😂

[@theHorizonLiner]

Well said! Not to mention carp are seriously tough fish as it is, and if anything the urban ones are even more resilient considering the environment they live in.

[@gardencity3558]

Here in Canada carp are considered invaisive you spear them if you like.

[@thedorsetcarper3219]

Just come across your channel. Great videos. Some mega fish and awesome venues. Something I've always fancied doing. I work in and around the big smoke alot and always considered packaging my rods in the van but wouldn't know where to start. Keep up the good work 👌🏻🫶🏻👏🏻

[@theHorizonLiner]

That's great man thank you and I'm glad you think so! As for where to start, a few primary things to consider are where would be the most convenient for you, what you'd like to accomplish and how much you're able to invest into that. There are many places to explore and that you could set your focus on around the city, but whatever suits you best and why is for you to determine 💯 All the best, and tight lines! 🎣🌇

[@prestonasher2291]

Is there a reason London hates fishing? Good stuff man. Your fish pictures looking off to the side are kind of hilarious too. You remind me of a friend of mine.

[@CristiNeagu]

It's not just London. It's England, at least. They were denied access to their own waters ages ago and they have probably told themselves "nah, I don't even like fish anyways". And I bet that the people who do own the waters are enforcing that mentality.

[@jamesharrison2763]

It's not an England thing, it's just the city folk. All out of touch with the real world and all got a stick up their arse. I'm English, I pay for my fishing licence and I fish regularly in Suffolk and Norfolk and have never ever had any issues with anyone out here. Just in Cities. ​@@CristiNeagu

[@CristiNeagu]

@@jamesharrison2763 While city people may be the ones to scream at you, this restrictive access to water is indeed an England thing. There's very few places in this country where you can just show up with a rod (and rod licence, of course) and just start fishing. Most places require you to pay an extra fee and to adhere to silly bylaws.

I miss London. I wish i could go back. That spot looks soo nice , i wonder exactly what that same area looked like back in 1977.

[@Kvantasan]

I mean, I have lived in London. And to get out to fish on a "normal" water, it is quite a big hassle, how much money would you have to spend extra for traveling to catch some fish? If it is C&R I see no big deal. There were some sketchy situations in the past, but still, you are not killing the fish. Common carp is spawning like crazy anyway.

[@theHorizonLiner]

That's right, it seems like you can relate, and transport already isn't exactly cheap around here either 🚇

Great highlight of the problems we face as London Anglers bud.🥴 I make free Fishing, Parking & good access vids for people with disabilities from Staines to Eel Pie Island on KZbin, the amount of times I've been threatened, abused & everything in between is staggering and im only using a Camera..!? I can handle myself pretty well so am ok with it, others can't..! People don't understand that without Anglers there'd be no fish to catch, after all, where do they think the Carp & Barbel come from.? It's "Locally Flooded Fishing Lakes". In a perfect world the E.A would be well funded and able to put small free Fishing signs everywhere, problem solved..! "NO CHANCE" Great vid bud..🤜💥🤛

[@afright23]

I am a avid fisherman this is not about where or where not to fish but in your video I did not see a unhooking mat , with the rough areas around where you are fishing just have a bit more care and respect in what you are catching and use one , if you do use an unhooking mat all well and good .

[@1conkers1]

8:09 I love the logic! You are a child because you are catching fish?. These people are just desperate to be respected and you do as they demand.

[@kevinwright3141]

I am in two minds about this - Fishing is supposed to be the art and craft of out-thinking and defeating the fish. Plonking bait into a pond where the fish are tame enough to take the food from the hands of people feeding the ducks, feels wrong and too easy.

[@789stv]

I can just imagine what would happen up here in Scotland if clowns like that came anywhere near folk fishing. What an embarrassment to his kid.

[@Al_is_XXX]

[@stevebell8552]

Nice fish ✌️🥃

[@flexjoe2000]

As someone with absolutely no knowledge about this - what's the point of going fishing in the middle of a city in a crowded space like this where everyone's just trying to enjoy what little nature there is? Also wouldn't it destroy the lake if everyone and their grandmother started fishing just as you do, ie. you would overfish very quickly? I mean why not just got to the countryside or somewhere less crowded? Also isn't inner city lakes like this pretty polluted? If there's some public good in doing this i'm all ears, is it to promote everyone going fishing there or fishing in general? I'm all for public access, more nature, hate "karens" etc, but i seriously don't get the point of standing with a huge fishing rod in the middle of kids, parents, and people sailing around in a tiny lake - it's like you're looking for a confrontation.

[@mcbudget]

How many of these spots were truly “crowded”? Zero. It disrupted no one, these guys release every fish they catch (no “overfishing”), fishing is a great way to be in touch with the natural world, and maybe all the karens should worry about the disgusting amount of pollution in London’s waters killing millions of fish a year instead of two blokes doing catch and release fishing. Frankly I think it’s brilliant and would love to see more young people using London’s waters in this way.

[@jamesharrison2763]

You can't overfish if you are catching and releasing, because none of the fish die or are injured. People are allowed to use London's waters for recreation. That includes everyone, not just some. They wasn't leaving hooks, line or other trash in the area or in the walkways. Every body of water in the London area attracts people, so by your logic fishing would just be banned across all of London. A city famous for it's Eels as part of tradition and has a huge river running through it. What a travesty that would be. Nature is better when you interact with it.

[@jamesharrison2763]

How would we know the health of the fish populations if nobody ever bothered to catch them? Fisherman work with conservationists all the time to help monitor the different species and numbers in any given area. What does those members of the public know about fishing? Nothing.

*Fishing without the controller of fishing right’s permission, where a private right of fishery exists, is a criminal offence under Schedule 1, Theft Act, 1968 - ‘taking or destroying fish or attempting to take or destroy fish* Which would say to you that its ok to, just not to kill the fish, but then ofc out of knowhere the government includes this nice caviet: *In this context, as defined in Wells v Hardy, 1964, ‘taking’ does not mean to carry away but ‘to lay hands upon, grasp or capture’, or to attempt to* So what theyre saying there, is no. You need explicit permission. But what id also point out is, its illegal to speed, its illegal to be drunk in public, its illegal to relieve yourself in a bush. Doesnt make them things that most people havent done at least once

I know you guys are just interested in catch and release but arent carps invasive there anyways? Wouldn’t it be good even if you guys were catching carp to eat?

[@KerwinConnolly]

They're not native but they're not called as invasive. It isn't warm enough for them to breed prolifically here so they don't take over waters like they would in countries like Australia.

[@takeashitegaming9904]

I think urban fishing its easy when the carp are so used to eating bread and human contact

[@andiehyde3714]

New Zealander here so excuse my ignorance but are carp not an invasive species in England? Here you would be prosecuted for putting one back in the river.

[@LezDentz]

Carp were introduced into Britain around the 13th Century, so they can't be considered invasive any more.

[@jamesharrison2763]

They was introduced here in about 1400Ad and so are considered to be here to stay at this point. However new Zealand still has many unique fish species and carp will just out compete them and wipe them out. Just like the Burbot in the UK, the only freshwater cod species in the world, now extinct because of human over fishing and being out competed for food by carp. Thankfully, burbot are thriving in north America.

Furthermore, despite the amount of pettiness and unjustified insolence I put up with, I maintain my composure without fail and diffuse these situations to the best of my ability in doing so. The way other people act is out of my control, so if they decide to make a scene it's up to them. Finally, not every rule is worthy of being followed, as some are only there for the good of those who wrote them. Remember if rules can be written, they can also be changed, and as such they should evolve accordingly with the appropriate situation.
