I was fishing at Pipe Hill fishery near Lichfield last Monday. The guy opposite me was checking his pole float setup without any bait and he hooked into a 3lb mirror carp! I've done it a few times at Bonehill Mill fishery in Fazeley, albeit as a young lad in the 1960s. Usually with a bright gold hook for Perch.
It happens regularly at heavily stocked venues. Roach and Rudd are suckers for it but carp will take a bare hook out of hunger and desperation. I was a bit reluctant to publish this video tbh as the venue is way too heavily overstocked. It is rammed with hungry carp and in all fairness, it’s not my kind of place… but thank you for your comment, it’s very welcome 🙏 take care mate and best wishes 💪🏻🎣
