You won't believe what we found! Fishing for carp in 2023

[@ianchallis232]

Decent video, thanks! Relatively new to carp fishing so this has been a revelation! Nothing is featureless!

[@darrenking3622]

good vid mate, yeah those roots were brutal round the islands, luved the gravel bar, good spot, also gravel slopes away from islamds, lots of interesting spots,

[@shauncorless8965]

I wonder how many times casting into soft silt ,it's all sunk into and when it's wound in it all cleans off 🤔 and we think nothing, s biting what about the method on a commercial match just the same

[@chrisbonesholmes9872]

For sure that happens, always good to smell the bait when it come out gives you a good idea 💪

[@rickphillips5098]

Honestly so much learnt! When fishing to any island or margin and there are trees on the bank !! Be at least a 6/7ft away when presenting bait.. also did not realise how instant it is between gravel bar and silt !! Ive fished just off gravel bars thinking it would be still slightly gravely ! Still using short rigs ! I probably just cast bait and rig into silt! Cracking watch and thanks for making me re think things 😊

[@TrakkerTV]

Glad you enjoyed watching it Rick - hope it has helped with your fishing 👍

[@AN4MER]

would pva foam help if you landed on silt?

[@bryanupton2552]

I was surprised at how deep the silt went and how fast the depth of it went from gravel to two foot plus. Is there any way of finding out how deep the silt fishing in is? If you have no choice but to fish on the silt I'd like to know the difference between it being 5 or 6 inch & your bait having a chance of still presenting or it being 2 foot of really soft silt and the lead dragging your bait deep down in it & you not knowingly fishing behind a buried rig and bait.

[@chrisbonesholmes9872]

well this has opened my eyes a bit to fishing. i dont mornally feel the lead down all the time on a small lake that i fish but after watching this maybe i will from now on. i normally try and get as tight to the island as i can but again i think maybe i will continue to do so but not so close to where the trees are. those roots are a massive snag. great video my man. 👍👍🐟🐟

It like hawkhurst fishery when they drain the lake its 90% silt and very shallow it should all be removed as we pay lots to fish there, but its a lovely lake

[@kazdagger109]

I WILL feel the lead now for sure. Great insight Bonesy

Hope this helps you put more fish on the bank, or at least be fishing with a little more confidence 👍

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

Very interesting 👍 someone lost a spomb there too

[@TrakkerTV]

There was hundreds of them in there lol

[@chrisbonesholmes9872]

Found more than spombs, found a full bobbin and swinger arm 🤣

[@robdaubo9441]

Might seem silly question but will you be taking some of the silt out or is it good for a pond

[@PossessedGaming07]

Not a silly question mate, places do de-silt lakes when they drain them but not sure what they did here

[@clivejohnson9515]

I think that's why it's a tricky water - 80% of the bottom is silt...

[@chrisbonesholmes9872]

Definitely Clive, could not believe just how soft some of it is

[@DrewPeacock1996]

They feed like mad in silt...

[@Wilde_UK]

​@Ryan Cox they do but presenting a bait well is harder if your not prepared for it.

[@jamesrutherford5941]

So is a longer hook link always bebeneficial when fishing in silty areas. Along with a light lead .

[@LeighWinspear]

Dont fear the silt. Puddle pigs love shit/silt too. Love a clear lake in summer, with carp, greedily and obviously feeding in the silt for bloodworm. Stalkers dream fishing.......freeline a worm on a size 8, or a fly fished worm pattern and its usually game on.

[@chrisbonesholmes9872]

Good tactic that, but getting a worm free lined 60 yards isn’t easy

[@LeighWinspear]

@@chrisbonesholmes9872 stalking is normally selecting fish by sight. But in your case use a bait boat.......

[@martinthomas2690]

Great Video, Can you or anyone pass on any tips for feeling the lead down please 👍👍

[@pleasantville4529]

Is there any reason for the amount of silt in this lake? Is it just broken down vegetation such as leaves and stuff? Or is there another reason? As for the tree roots, a big carp would find it impossible to feed where the roots are so dense. Great video, it shows up some of the difficulties the owners face to maintain a commercial fishery.

[@TrakkerTV]

Its a reasonably old lake that i think even by owners admission, its been relatively unattended... If you check out their own page you will see they have since done a lot of work on the lake and started to refill it ready for carp!

[@DrewPeacock1996]

I must be the only person that prefers a silt spot over a hard area or bar lol

[@TrakkerTV]

of course, fish love the silt and will feed in it also at times. This was more aimed at the potential of where you think you are fishing and where you actually might be and the importance of being accurate.

[@easternundergroundsounds6977]

I struggle to feel the lead down in water under 4ft any tips?

[@leesurman2331]

Very interesting. Surprised there wasn't any carp holes. I've seen them before like dustbin lid size and bigger. But yeah good and interesting video 👌

[@TrakkerTV]

To be honest, we did see a few holes but couldn't put everything in the video. Maybe next time or the next venue we will be able to show more.
