Simon Scott - How Carp Feed 

Totally agree mate

I loose hours and hours talking to Si, as you say a expert in his field.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

He's certainly a mine of great information is Si

@@BaitworksTV 👌👍

Glad you enjoyed it mate, yes Simon is has a wealth of information and it's aways great to catch up with Mr Carp himself.

Pleasure mate, thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Glad you enjoyed it Matt, we learn something new every time we catch up with scotty.

@@BaitworksTV I bet! As a fishery owner of a very spotty estate lake in France it's been incredible to watch how the lake bottom has evolved over the 8 years. The carp have excavated huge holes in the lake bed in their ceaseless search for food. I describe carp as mini JCB's with fins! It's also ridiculous that amount of food they'll get through in a night. I've seen mine do 15kg of 24mm boilies in a night off one spot.

The Sparsholt College mate is where you'll be able to study.

Brilliant, so true!

haha agreed!

A few to many hours stalking carp like a heron I recon Paul.

Haha sometimes!

I guess your not wrong

glad you enjoyed the vid paddy

@@BaitworksTV I actually loved it buddy as it's a side to Carping we rarely think about and so so interesting :-) As for my pisspoor lack of a filter where my sense of humour is concerned well what can I say 😇 Thanks, Paddy.

@@kiesesoza I got it mate don't you worry :)

they are designed for all sorts mate and those teeth are certainly designed for crushing boilies.

Glad you enjoyed it Jamie!

Simon hasn't written a book but he's written plenty of articles over the years and has a monthly series coming up in carpology soon also.

wheat is a great addition and micronised maize, both lower costs than pellets. Hope that helps

Yes Pete!! His lucky jacket need to be retired!

They can't use there eyes to find food from ten metres away, the eyes help for sure but only when up close.

LOL, the the joys of angling, sometimes they are just not feeding.

@@MrJ-ro1yr korda don't make bait

@@MrJ-ro1yr We've tried loads of fancy bait in recent years. Didn't work for us. Bait we catch on is spam, various types of pellet, method mix or dog biscuit on the top.

Never had much luck with boilies either. Recently read that soaking them (rainwater is best due to the lack of chlorine & fluoride) for a day or so before you go helps release the flavours when they're out as bait. Maybe give that a go? Baits that go well for us are spam covered in curry powder, halibut pellets, Sonubaits "oozing" pellets, or dog biscuits/ wholemeal bread floating on the top. You can also try sweetcorn but for some reason the fish round our way aren't interested in it. Chickpeas are also worth a go. If boilies are what you really want to get into check out Starmer Baits. They have a good range (not just boilies either) aren't too expensive & don't give it the hard sell. Boilies can be good, but buying loads of them gets expensive & some of the bait companies are so commercial they hype their baits up so they can shift as much as possible. Same with tackle, they invent these things so need to see a quick return on the development & marketing so they hype it up & make people think they need these things, but really they don't. Last time we were out we were catching all day using stale dog biscuit I bought about 3 years ago & a rod we've had since 1985 🤷‍♂️

The Carp Crew thank you so much for the tips and information I’m going on the 8th just got a cc more session pack £23 with 2kg of pellet mixed and 1kg of boilies and pop ups was gonna chop boilies up hemp and corn with the pellets and spod that out use pop up on my hook tipped with a bit of corn u think that would do the trick as I’m a beginner and my pb is 17lb hope to beat it Monday but thanks again mate

In what way?
