The River Thames is home to big fish of all species, but it has gained a reputation for being one of the best carp venues in the country. Over the years many anglers have trodden its paths and navigated its length in their own vessels trying to outwit the highly nomadic population of carp.
To reap the rewards the Thames has to offer, time and effort have to be accounted for and no man knows this more than Nick Helleur. Throughout the last two years, we have filmed Nick go about his fishing on the mighty waterway, in pursuit of the holy grail; a 50-pounder from running water.
Nick reveals the ups and downs of this true rollercoaster ride in his typical style in a film you really do not want to miss!

@tyke4873 5 лет назад

Must be the Mainline crew,Even they have to admit ,the films sticky have been doing are just filmed stunning.I film my self and honest this is just really great footage.Of a special moment in time ,50lb out of thames.If i lived down there,i would be looking everywhere for those boats lol .

@tyke4873 5 лет назад

Also on the wychwood gear,i love there stuff ,Had all rods from df's shim's but in all honesty i just love the low end 3lb tc wychwood 101's ,they have served me well.Love cork handled rods though .Only had two rods i like more and that was when i won carp talk comp ,and got two terry hearn mk 2's about 6 month before they went on sale ,they was just beautiful,and signed by him .Sold them like a prat.Fell out with fishing for big carp for around 6 year ,but still been filming em and photographing em .Underwater footage ext.But it become more about how good you looked than fishing ,it become stupid ,Level rods and bobbins all same height .Joke really.No more,I still gone for a nice kit ,since i got back into it.But nothing to tarty,But looks nice and does the job.Fishing a large gravel pit that is just un fished ,but there are at least two 40's in there.But loads of bream and tench roach .unlike the other pit at the side of it.I've done that one,and had the largest 4 fish in there.They are bigger now.At least 5 fish over 30 lb,for south yorkshire ,and not a circuit water there big fish that have got to this weight through feeding on natural food.Only seen one other angler on there fishing ,but he was after bream.But he told me hes been done a few times by just un stoppable fish,Carp bloody big carp to for south yorkshire two 40's at least rest are un known.Its the reason i love this new challange.fishing for the unknown,but knowing there are two fish both mirrors over 40lb.On there tomorrow,for next 12 month,so i will be doing blogs on that venue and my adventures.Going at it with at least one rod on bottom bait with a fake piece of corn ,or a 10mm tipper,snow man.I normally fish pop ups withy pool or supple hinge rig.But depending on weed tomorrow ,i will be using a stiff boom ,on there if weeds not bad,so looking forward to latching into one of these beauties.

@beme4146 5 лет назад

The sound of wood pigeons take me back some 25 years to a lake in Kent I struggled on 4 first year just losing fish after fish. But I loved it. Learning as I struggled. I love that sound, and even down to what we were smoking, bait recipes and taste/smell, sneaky moves etc...! Your blogs help bring back these great times, first twenty at 26, named wanted fish, proper character. Thankyou for helping me remember those good old days. Would love to be doing what you are, keep on making me happy🎣🍻 second time watching.

@jamesrussel1133 5 лет назад

What a heartfelt story of a fantastic journey Nick. Your passion comes flooding through. To be honest the capture of those river 30’s was enough, thanks for sharing. I had my own equivalent experience fishing my local Grantham canal fishing for carp and big perch most people didn’t know existed. The ultimate reward was the capture of a perfect unmarked 31 1/2lb common carp, such a rare beast for an urban canal. That fish will always be my most cherished capture. I have recently landed my first UK fifty shortly followed by a well known 46lb common but they pale into insignificance in comparison. But you are right it was all gone in the blink of an eye when three Otters were introduced and every one of the 16 carp was lost within 3 months. So appreciate every second while you still have the opportunity and enjoy. Such fishing is very very special indeed!
