61 years old and still learning. Thanks guys.

Thanks lads , this has gave me a lot more knowledge on fishing as I'm quite new to the sport, great video guys 👊😎

Just what i needed. 👍

Awesome video! Grats on 100k subcribers! ^^

Wow Carl and Alex your presentations are reaching a new level. You are better than Chris Packham.

Fantastic video! Very insightful!!

Thanks for the vid!!!

Great advice thanks for sharing it.

So good

Please tell me what is the best baits for mullet fish and why is it so difficult to catch mullet

Fantastic thank you so much, however you didn't talk about bass

What is good weather to fish?

I just bought my first rod hoping to learn good techniques

Nice video guys 👍

First

wow, excellent presentation by Carl and great filming by Alex. For someone new to watercraft this is gold, one of the better videos on watercraft that I ever seen, keep 'em coming guys.

it sucks when u like fishing at young age cuz u cant go enywhere whenever u want u always need ur dad to drive u to a place espesially when u dont have any water bodies near by and it takes a long time to drive then u just cant fish Btw Carl and Alex did u have the same problem?

Carl getting down to the basics of watercraft with Alex keeping the camera steady... love it ❤

Regarding chub and barbel requiring or indeed having preferance to faster water, that is quite a sweeping generalization and one overly used in angling for these species. I have taken many barbel over the years from areas of rivers and sections which would be considered torpid and some might think not ideal for said species, generally I have taken the larger specimens from such areas and have also done so this season fishing areas of rivers that have fast or walking pace sections that do produce barbel, but instead I have actively opted on many occasions for slower areas, knowing full well that large fish in general don't wish to expend energy unduly if they don't have to and the same rings true for large barbel and chub. Ergo there is no "one size fits all" .

Very informative, easily understood. Well done. Carp fished since the eighties, but still learning all the time. Thank you

I have watched a number of videos trying to hone my water craft. This is by far the best! Straight to the point, informative and clear instruction. Thank you Carl an Alex. And don't forget the water foul behaviours. Coots an moorhen in particular make a very distinct screech when touching or disturbed by fish while stood on snags floating in the margin.

Incredible job, sir. Concise, precise, and quite nicely done. Yet the most amazing part is realizing this world produced not just one but two fools who could "thumb down" rate this near perfect job of helping others learn. Thanks, Thumbs Up & Subscribed!

Awesome vid as always. Watercraft is so important, you can have the most trendy rig in the world but if you don’t put where the fish are it is useless.

Thank you Carl and Alex for giving us your knowledge it should really help when going on the next session

The mackerel are everywhere at Brighton and shorham I went out on our paddle board with a hand line and some feathers for half an hour and caught something like 40 fish great fishing just need to find the shoals🎣🎣👍👍 they’re so close in like 10 meters

Well done lads, a helpful guide which was very well done. Not sure why there would be any thumbs down on it, ignore the muppets (minority) amd keep up the great work.

Hi I’m new and I’m carp fishing rn my pb is 28 lb 8

Very impressive video. I don’t comment a lot on videos etc but hats off to you for this. Very well explained, clear precise and enjoyable. Awesome work!!

hi lads

Your drone footage adds a lot, really cool. I picked one up for my own content but wrecked it like the 3rd time out..

That‘s a amazing work from you guys! Great tips for people that are trying to learn more about fishing! Keep going guys👍

Love ur vids can’t wait for some winter pike vids

Brilliant information for every Angler old or new to fishing. Nice one 👍👍👍

Great video! QQ, can you tell me how to differentiate between carp feeding bubbles and those from big turtles on the bottom? Also, do the turtles go away in the Winter? Thanks - Joe *I’m getting inundated by turtles in my local swim and it’s driving me bonkers😫😫😫

I really miss the longer content you use to release on your other channel. Lots of shorter content, less video diaries ect these days. This is great and I get the fact you can push your sponsor but I wonder how your other channel is growing right now? Please bring back the old style Carl and Alex content every Saturday!

Just trying to get into fishing cause I never appreciated it as much as I should have when my gramps took me. I feel like it'll help me get close to him, even though he has passed. Also fish is expensive, so I kinda want to get free food.

Nothing better than chilling on the bank and having these 2 talk away and give advice

I've been fishing for 20 years and still learnt a couple of things, awesome video lads

Really educational guys will help me on the bank tomorrow 👍👍

Yes Carl and Alex love the vids

Great videos,clear precise presentation👏👏👏you are wise beyond your years sir,so many older anglers don’t like to give up information feeling they’ve worked hard for it and so should everyone else.

in a small river system where the water is always runing, is the deeper spots are colder? i mean the water is always moving in one way. i guess the deep spots are almost the same temperature? i wonder because now that the water warms up the fish are gone but i know a place where is really deep, i imagine all the big ones are stacked there but if the water gets replaced by the current, maybe its hot down there. any idea?

Freshwater clams can also produce bubles

Thanks for your time, lovely video. Great guy

That was a very well made video.clear precise extremely understandable. It was a good refresher for me who's not fished for some time. Excellent Carl.well done.

How u Alrady there

I love playing World of Watercraft.

Thanks guys

What i need is to know how you find the land owner to get permission to fish

thank you for the video

Very informative. Maybe I will fish someday.

Love your videos very informative 👌👌👌👌

Great video lads! Best watercraft video Iv seen so far

Wonderful as always guys, informative and entertaining 👏 👍 thanks for sharing

Veg oil on dog biscuits?? What’s the crack there…

Congratulations on 100k

Very very useful. Thank you❤️

Great video lads awesome work as always 👍

Excellent production guys!

Love it 👍

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

Nice chanel which camera are u using?

Big love to Carl and Alex 💙

Highly useful information. Thanks boys. Been following you for some time. If you ever make it back over to the states. Feel free to look me up. I'm in South Carolina. Untouched carp here. I fish the Santee Cooper system mostly but do get around. I've got 170,000 square acres to break down. This video definitely helps.

Another excellent video. Could you explain the effect high and low pressure have on the fish also please??

Thanks boys another great informative vid. Keep them coming. Over the long years I've been fishing Ive learnt you can never have too much information. And can always learn something new. 👍. David B Chichester West Sussex

Very, very useful. I knew many of these things, but the bit about the wind working against you when the water is cooling down in autumn is something I did not know. I always just fish with the wind in my face... so it's obviously time to change that!

Great info as always, love from Amsterdam!

Many people are using ragworms as bait to catch mullet some use flour some use mackerel flesh

fresh wota

lovely well presented video explaining the often overlooked clues that help us mere mortals catch fish. especially enjoyed the explanation of "undertow" something that can have many new (or even older)anglers scratching their heads...thanks lads

Great video guys, very informative 👍🏻

Thanks guys that was a big help for me, keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌

Great video again Carl and Alex keep up the great work 🎣🎣🎣🎣

Another cracking video. Really helpful.

Put simply, Brilliant Info Cheers guys

Hi Carl which brand of polarised glasses would you recommend please? Thanks again

1st 👌

Great video!

Fantastic video, really helpful!

Great series of tutorials, you really do make an excellent video , quality and content. Well done 👍

Excellent as always. Keep the vids coming.

Great video! Production is so professional on this channel.

Great vid that not many Anglers go through ..

Some sea fishing tutorials would be interesting

Where do the fish go if it's unusually hot outside?

Thanks bud. Learned a lot. Keep making this kind of videos.

Here in the Southern US bubbles could be snapping turtles or a gator.

Really good vid. Essential for the less experienced anglers. Well done guys keep it up. When you getting a tv deal ?

What about river catfishes?! Do them really care about the water speed?

Another incredible video 🤙🙏

Can anyone tell me what lake this is

Do a colab with catfish and carp

Love the vids thank you this helps

Yet another 11/10, great video

Great video, this is what we all need to spend the most time learning. Instead of the latest rigs or tackle 😎

Please reply thank you

Valuable information.....
