The Underwater Files - Volume 1: Carp 

That's probably one of the best comments I've ever had to hear that and I really hope you go on to bag a few the next time you manage to get out 🐋🎣👌

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia Thanks Ryan, theres some beautiful carp in that lake, tight lines & best get me some sweetcorn with the additive you mentioned in an earlier fan post.

@@JoeD500 you wont go too far wrong with that mate. If you want to see how I prepare it then take a look at my "Cambridgeshire Day Ticket" carp video. There's a bit more underwater footage on there too

@AG Coarseman sessions not seasons haha, read it again...

@AG Coarseman no probs mate, if it was seasons I'd give it up as a bad job, tight lines buddy 👍

It's always interesting watching parts of the world we dont usually get the opportunity to see

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia yep... totally agree with you on that. ... hope to see more

@@AnglerSpeaks I'm planning on getting more done as soon as possible, hopefully with some different species involved too

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia I've turned on the notification button... this is gonna fantastic

@@AnglerSpeaks I shall try my best to not disappoint 👍

Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed watching it. I also have another Underwater video on here too which is well worth a watch

Yes, if the rig isn't 100% suited to a particular spot and baiting situation then it can be picked up and discarded several times over quite easily. Luckily on this lake the water is crystal clear and I could see everything that was happening so after a couple of little tweaks, the very next pick up resulted in the hooked fish at the end of the film

Glad to hear you enjoyed watching it all. It's always interesting seeing them feed and how they react to things. I'm hoping to get some more footage once spring and summer arrive also

Ryan Gibson Angling look forwards to it mate! Tight lines🎣

I'm glad you enjoyed watching it

Really glad you enjoyed watching

I'm glad you enjoyed watching it as much as you did. Roll on summer when I can try and film some more!

Glad to hear you found it an interesting watch Phil. Yes there are an awful lot of variables to take into account when baiting but when you know they're definitely hungry and on it they can get through serious amounts of bait very quickly! Between myself and a friend we went through 30kg of corn on this lake one day and ran out with over 2 hours of our 13 hour day to go! The CC Moore LO30 liquid is well worth a look when adding attraction to your bait also as my corn always gets coated and soaked in this prior to a session on this particular venue as it holds them in the area grubbing about until every last little bit of bait has gone!

Really glad you enjoyed watching and yes it is quite relaxing watching them glide in and out around the area 👌

Really glad you enjoyed the watch Gaz. I find it really interesting seeing underneath the surface of the water also and there should be more footage coming at some point in the not too distant future too hopefully!

Look forward to it going on Wednesday 29th of this month hoping to get a new pb

@@GazEdwards8690 Ive got everything crossed for you mate so hopefully you'll bag a few!

There'll be more on the way as soon as possible 👌

You're more than welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it

It's certainly something I'm wanting to do as soon as possible. I had a few plans in place for this year but they all got thrown out the window for one reason or another with what has been going on unfortunately but hopefully though the winter I can get a bit of pike footage and then fingers crossed next spring I'll be able to get some.more on the carp side of things too

She's certainly a wrinkly old character these days but it's very rare to do a day down there without seeing her at least once with her tail and pecs giving the game away. I had her a couple of years ago at 33lb odd and have had her feeding right in the edge a couple of times too. Would love to get a bit of underwater footage of her at some point but I get too caught up in the enjoyment of catching a few fish when i'm down there sometimes so the filming takes a bit of a back seat

I had a bigger fish on this year and lost it at the net. It dwarfed silver tail. Was absolutely devastated. Never seen it before had it from the middle on zig. Would have loved to have seen it on the bank. You know yourself they look even bigger on the bank and this thing was huge !! My mate Barry was with me

@@savagestu30 that's interesting to hear. I cant say I've ever seen or heard of anything bigger than Silvertail but with the days only rule and the depth of water in there it wouldn't overly surprise me if there's a few fish that steer well clear of the margins and only ever feed out in the deeper water

There is definitely bigger in there. I have fished here for over 15 years and over the last few years there are some big fish coming through. And like you mentioned there are fish that hold up in the middle that don’t get caught. Really dark in colour too. I had a few this year adjustable zig fishing which was a great way to get to them. It’s good to see them feeding on the shelf like that. Also they are some of the hardest fighting fish I have caught. Don’t you think

Great vid by the way 👍

I'm glad you enjoyed it 👌

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia loved it

I'm really glad you enjoyed the watch

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia I invite you to watch my underwater video.

Glad you enjoyed the watch

They're an absolute nightmare those little things! You can get your rig and hook bait sitting perfectly and they'll come along and move it all over the bloody place! 😂😫

Wow...thanks very much for that comment Tom, it means an awful lot. I'm glad you enjoyed the film so much and im hoping to do more of it in the future to hopefully expand on what ive done here

Congrats on your result. That's a nice sized carp in anyone's book!

If all goes to plan and the conditions stay right there will hopefully be some more underwater filming done at the end of this month 🤞

Same id use popups on weedy waters on a good old choddy

That's a shame to hear although there's always people out there wanting to cause problems of some sort it seems and unfortunately with day ticket lakes it's a lot harder to filter those kind of people out! I'm sure if you let the owner know then she'd soon have a word with the culprit(s) if you were ever down there and it happened again as she's not one to stand by and do nothing if there are idiots around. Silver Tail is a cracking fish and absolutely full of character. I had her just under two years back after a couple of very near misses previously when fishing close in on top of the shelf and once on the very spot where this was filmed in fact

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia Yes, I rang her about the threats and she sent her son up to the lake to have words, but later when she came to collect the ticket money, all she said was that 'He's a regular and not normally like that'... I too was a regular and just wanted some quiet fishing, so as she took no action against him I told her I'd never come back.. ( regretted saying that later.. ) Yes 'Silvertail' is a real old warrier of a Carp, and very distinctive with those bulging eyes! I had her on breadflake which was a nice way to get her :) I also use corn and maize like you to great effect - my favourite Carp bait.

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it

Really glad you enjoyed the watch

Glad to hear you enjoyed watching 👍

gracias me alegro de que lo hayas disfrutado

Really glad you enjoyed watching. The camera was lowered down off the end of a 4m landing net handle with a bit of heavy Fluorocarbon tied to it and pegged in ok the bank to try and keep everything as unobtrusive as possible. There'll be more on the way soon hopefully as I have a few plans for the months ahead including surface feeding carp, catfish and also pike come the winter

Glad to hear you enjoyed watching

Im glad you enjoyed watching. Yes that's sweetcorn which has all been soaked in some CC Moore Tuna L030 liquid food

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia Oh thanks for replying #Bro 🙏

I have an underwater one up of Wels Catfish which is well worth a watch. I'm sure it is possible having the setup you mentioned above but you'd need some sort of direct cable between the camera and dry land as you won't get any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth signal to travel through water

Glad you enjoyed watching

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was filmed on a Shimano CM-1000 action camera

It certainly opened my eyes to this also. Always interesting seeing how they behave around different presentations

I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Hopefully there'll be a second one whenever we get chance to be out on the bank again! The fake corn will have been the Korda Fake Food stuff

It was a pretty standard rig tied with the Fox CamoTex Dark Soft incorporating a rig ring on the hook shank and a section of shrink tubing over the eye. It started around 8" in length but because I saw it get unsuccessfully picked up a couple of times I shortened this up to around 5" due to the way they were feeding "on the spot" rather than moving around from bait to bait and also lengthened the hair to give the hook a little more freedom to catch hold. If you watch my first video, you will see the basics of the rig explained more in depth on there.

Yes, there is one piece of fake pop-up corn on top and then 2-3 pieces of normal corn underneath

Hi Dalton, i'm glad your enjoyed the footage. It didn't take them long at all in all honesty. When there's a few carp feeding on a spot at a time then a couple of kilos of bait will sometimes be gone in a minute or two. This isn't always the case but on this particular lake they can get through serious amounts of bait very quickly.

Wow that's suprising.... well thanks again for the great video. I guess I need to be humming more than I thought, but then again they have to find the bait aswell.

@@daltonperkes7202 baiting is something that has so many variables to it depending on stock, time of year, weather conditions, angler pressure, feeding patterns and so much more but when they're really having it confidently, bait can dissappear very quickly. Liquid foods can play a very big role in fish feeding on and polishing off spots and I place a lot of faith in the CC Moore Tuna LO30 liquid which is being used in the filming of this video as well as my "Cambridgeshire Day Ticket" film also

A little lake in Cambridgeshire, England

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia which prize

Hi Dwight, they're called roach and although carp will occasionally eat live fish, it's quite rare for them to do so unless it's really small fry

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia .. Lol. I don't think the roach were quite convinced of that. Anyway, Carp are omnivorous, meaning they have wide food preferences, including both meat and plant matter. Since they do disrupt aquatic plants and other fish species, they're often considered undesirable (an invasive species) with frequent efforts towards extermination.

@@dwightstewart7181 Hi Dwight, from your response I'm guessing you're likely to be from either the USA or Australia? I understand carp are considered as rather undesirable in those countries on the whole due to their tendency to take over waterways, mainly due to the warmer climates and their ability to breed in very large numbers but that could not be further from the truth when it comes to most UK and European waters. Carp will eat the vast majority of things but their main diet would normally consist of natural bugs, insects and the like. Water snails, shrimp, mussels, bloodworm and many different types of larvae would be their main diet in a truly natural environment but live fish would make up a very small percentage of this, if any at all. In the vast majority of cases, unless they are very small fry after spawning then live fish would be completely safe around carp and the reason they move out is because they are pushed out and away from the food source being occupied by the larger and more dominant species. This is often the same case with much larger species such as bream and tench also which are far too large to be eaten by any carp, but will get "moved on" in a feeding situation.

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia .. Well, don't want to get into an argument about it, so will let it go with what I've already said. Take care.

@@dwightstewart7181 Hi Dwight, there was no argument being made, just discussing the topic and putting opinions and the facts about their dietary habits in our waters out there. If live fish made up a large part of their diet then we, as anglers, would use live fish as bait in the same way as we do for predators such as pike, perch, zander, catfish and the like, but it isn't a large part of their diet, if any part at all, so we dont 👍

In this video it will have been Fox Illusion Trans Khaki fluorocarbon in a 16lb breaking strain but for the majority of my angling I use the Fox Exocet Trans Khaki mono in 20lb. Both excellent lines 👌

That's a swan mussel you can see which is covered in silk weed. The movement is the mussel filtering the water

They can get through silly amounts of corn on there if they're really on the feed. I dont tend to take any less than 15kg with me in the warmer months as I've been caught out before a few times not having enough!

Eso es genial de escuchar y muchas gracias por la suscripción

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia de nada. Si quiere suscribirse a mi canal estaría encantado. Un saludo

Hi LORY, The little silver fish with the red fins are called roach

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia Thanks

@@lory6330 and the bigger fish are called carp

Hi Maksim, it's a swan mussel I believe and it is filtering the water where you can see the hole opening and closing

Hi Nick, what website is it that you run?

Hi Albie, it actually turned out to be the opposite and I lengthened the hair to give the hook a little more freedom and also shortened the rig by a couple of inches with the carp feeding on such a tightly baited area with me trying to get pick ups in front of the camera. The rig I was using at the start of the film was just my usual go to for this lake which has caught me hundreds of carp and usually accounts for catches of anywhere between 10-15 fish a day but it's usually being fished over a wider spread of bait which keeps the carp moving around a little more and so the longer rig is much more effective over that kind of baiting approach, especially with the extra weed which is present on the second shelf I'm normally fishing. To cut a long story short, i just shouldn't have been so lazy and should've tied up a shorter rig to begin with rather than leaving the same one on but it got a bit of interesting footage with how easily they can get away with things when the hooklink isn't tightened and the weight of the lead isn't brought into account

Hi there. It's a freshwater swan mussell filtering the water

Damn.... It's alive it's alive... Lol

Corn

It's a Shimano CM1000 Sport Camera. There's some available on both Amazon and Ebay having just had a quick look 👍

It's a Shimano CM-1000 action camera

@@SpecialistAnglingMedia awesome video How deep is camera underwater

@@CarpHuntersPolska I'm glad you enjoyed it. The camera was probably about 3-4 feet deep on one of the ledges

About 1.5 metres deep

Hi Sergey, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was all filmed on a Shimano CM1000 Sport Camera

best method to catch carp.. but if u use a method feeder.. the hair rig will stay on top of the bait.. carp will get the hook first before everything

I'm not sure how much will have been used during this bit of filming as I was only feeding a little spot whilst stalking in the edge. Normally I'll take around 15 kilos of corn for a day session on this particular water

It's a little lake in Cambridgeshire, not too far from Ely

Ryan Gibson Angling what’s it called as I’m dieing to get a 20 pounder

It's not really somewhere I want to name on here if I'm honest mate as I dont want the place becoming massively over crowded for the regulars that have fished there for years as it's only a small water

Ryan Gibson Angling could you maybe Facebook message me it or something as I’m only a Young carp angler and I’m dieing to catch a 20. It’s fine if u don’t want to though

No problem. Just drop me a message on there and I'll reply with where it is. You should be able to find me if you search "Ryan Gibson Angler"

The one I used to film this was a little Shimano CM-1000 Sports Camera

Its a Swan mussel filtering the water at the end

With it being an open access day ticket lake its not somewhere I'd want to name on here for all to see unfortunately

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. What is involved with being included in your fishing community?
