Hi. Welcome to my UA-cam Channel; home to season long video diaries of my struggles (and occasional successes) with short session carping on my syndicate lakes, squeezed in between the many other things that we all have to fit into our lives.
Usually arriving quite late at the lake and needing to leave it far too early, follow my attempts to overcome the odds and put fish on the bank. Please feel free to like, subscribe and leave comments as to how I can improve my vids, my fishing(!) or what you would like me to include (or leave out!) in future videos. Thank you and good luck wherever you are dangling a bait. Please also check out Poacher Baits' superb range of carp baits.

INTO AUGUST - INTO THE FISH? Working for takes on a busy lake. Carp Syndicate Fishing @carpingkev
As we entered August, how many could I catch with fewer swim choices on a busy lake?

Drag to loose mate try tighten up hook the fish better as rod working for you to hook fish I used to drop so many till I changed things no really drop fish since changing it defo makes difference and you giving them to much time to get you in trouble when drag so loose
Cheers. I admit, setting the drag after casting out is not something I pay much attention to, apart from when the situation dictates it. I'll give it a go going tighter generally.
@@carpingkev you won’t be sorry mate keep up the good work lovely vids x
A solid August for you, Kev. Fish from different swims, you know the spots… Surely one of the big ones must be in your future? Hope so…
Cheers Tim. I sincerely hope that one of the jewels is around the corner.
Nice vidio kev
Thanks Mark. I do put the time in on the editing.
Another great vlog Kev can you do one every day they are so enthralling 👏👏🎣🎣👍
Cheers Andrew...hold on, I'll have a word with the wife! 😄
Do you use braid all the way through I do but I seem to lose a few fish through hook pulls I don't know whether to go back on mono I like to hear your views
I do, Alan. My rods are quite forgiving though and I try to play them gently with a lot of backwinding. What you see on the vids is a much shortened version of me playing the fish. I do suffer hook pulls but they tend to be soon after the take, before any pressure is really applied, so I put that down to a poor hook hold.
Thanks a lot Kev
Great vid Kev. I love that swim. Had my first 30 from there and still my fav capture ever. Let’s hope some of the larger residents grace your rods this autumn
Cheers Shaun. You will know the real swim names then! (changed for simplicity). One of the A Team would certainly be nice.
Another great mix of true fishing on there MR Fleming 😂👍
Cough, cough! Thank you Mr Bucky. I only do it to push the fish over to you. Gives you a chance 😁
Savage drop back always a take, got lost with how many sessions you have done 🙈those over nighters are hard work with dreaded work in the morning 👍
Cheers Apol. Taking up the slack on that drop back took forever! Realisation quickly dawned that it was a proper fish. Gotta get those nights in to make up for a poor season so far. Need a biggun or three!
Great vid, always look forward to watching your stuff 👍
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated 👍
Your videos are great mate👍🏽 just wondering what pod have you got ? And keep up the great work 👊🏽
Cheers Morgan. Much appreciated. The pod is a Sonik Xtractor. Versatile, as it has different configurations and can also be broken down into single banksticks. About £75.
Tough times, Kev. At least one ended on the bank this time, albeit a small mirror. Next trip, eh?
Cheers Tim. There's always next time....keeps us going, doesn't it.
I'm of the opinion Kev that you should at the very least have 10x the number of subscribers you have and 20x the number of views......as usual a great watch showing the trials and tribulations of a normal carp angler just like the majority of us...KUTGW 👍
Thank you @CWCarp. Very nice words. Those pesky algorithms, eh? I'll keep going though!
Hard everywhere at the minute kev
Cheers Simon. I tell myself that, even when it's not!
Hi kev, new subscriber here. I very much like the videos. No bs and you show it how it really is... Where is this lake you are fishing in?? I live in Wales but always looking for lakes with big fish in.. Thight lines mate
Thanks for the sub @cbr900rr6. I appreciate the kind words. The lake is in the Hampshire Avon Valley. One of two complexes on the syndicate which is pretty much dead man's shoes to get into. Thanks and keep watching!
Why are the mouths (corners) damaged on these fish?
I know. Not nice to see, but a lot of them are old and have seen the bank many times. I don't fish bare braid hooklinks for that reason.
Could you not have waded down the margins to try and free that last fish?
Too deep Chris. It drops off to 9 feet a rod length out. No way across to the island. Only if a fish is still on can we call the lake manager to go out in a boat. The fish had gone anyway.
Great video kev the great thing about your videos you show the ups and the downs of carp fishing the highs and the blanks
Cheers John. Too many lows in that one for my liking!1🤣
Gutted on the loss. Shame you couldn't get a bailiff or the use of a boat. To at least get out to the spot. To see what the situation was. As always enjoy the journey with you.
Cheers Chris. If I had any doubt that the fish might still be on then I would have called the lake manager for the boat, but it had long gone. It still amazes me how they do it.
@@carpingkev yeah I know you would fella. Yeah tricky little blighters sometime ain't they LOL
Tough bit of fishing, Kev. The one that fell off from the margin swim did look as if it was decent. Both losses seemed pretty unavoidable. Your channel is the only Uk carp one I still follow. Just enjoy the way you represent your fishing now that my own near 60 year carping time has come to an end. Thanks for it all, mate.
Thanks Tim . Very nice words. Glad that the vids bring a bit of fishing into your world after your 60 years at it.
@@carpingkev Will keep following as long as I have, Kev. ALS(MND) diagnosis exactly a year ago, so that changed a few plans. Keep at it as long as you can!
Unlucky on having to pull for a break Kev, they'll always look for a snag, can i ask what clip on led lights do you have on the front of the bivvy. they look great...👍👍ps, hope you you're feeling better bud..
Thanks Kevin. Those lights are rechargeable clip on book reading lights. Amazon purchases. Lightweight and bright (adjustable tones too). I have two but you only really need one. Cheers
Bad luck Kev , it happens mate !
Cheers Mark. Hopefully not too often going forward!
Unfortunately mate that's why it's called angling not catching 🙈
Indeed! That's what I say when non anglers don't understand blanking!
Unlucky Kev ,hope your on the mend🤞What Fox alarms you using,I'm thinking of moving on from my Nash R3s to Fox...Till your next vlog👍👏🎣
Cheers. They are RX+s. With Kudos Tackle adaptors so I can use Delkim bobbins. Loving them so far.
Unlucky Kev you can’t win em all at least that margin spot keeps producing 👍👍👍
Thanks Steve. Indeed it does. Keeps me nimble getting out to the rods quickly too!
Excellent video as always proper carp fishing shame about the losses 🎣🐳👍🏻
Many thanks. I try to reflect reality....mine anyway! 😅
Nice one Kev on the common gutted about the other two I hate loosing fish 🙈👍🎣
Cheers Simon. Me too. Especially when they do you in snags. That's why I'm ultra careful to make sure they've gone before considering pulling for the break.
Heartbreaking losing a good fish at the end of a session. I remember those fish being some of the hardest fighting I’ve ever encountered. Certainly test your tackle they do! Better luck on the next trip. Really loving these vids Kev
Cheers Shaun. I have a suspicion that that fish was one of the A-Team - Jenkins, if you know that fish. Renowned for being the hardest fighting in the lake.
Well, you got a mirror, Kev….havent seen you catch many there. Hope an A team fish turns up for you this season. It’s time!
Cheers Tim. Just about caught it! Did my best to lose it! Fingers crossed for one of the bigguns.
Laurel and hardy moment kev🙈great angling as always 👍
Yep, it was indeed. Hope it gave people a laugh.
Well that was eventful unlucky Kev 👍👍👍
Yep. I forgot to cap it off by falling in!
Nice one Kev hate hook pulls 🙈savage take from the tench 🤣
Cheers Simon. Have hopefully got my share of hook pulls out of the way for a while!
Always carry a cheap loaf of bread with when surface fishing to feed the ducks gulls etc off then you will find it far more easier to surface fish kevin 😊❤
Cheers Michael. Will take that on board. Good idea
Nice one kev
Thanks Dave. Have had better sessions!
Always a pleasure Kev , thanks mate !
Cheers Mark.
Another cracking watch bud love watching em and it’s cool watching and fishing there to 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Loz.
Yes Kev great start to the new season pucker fish too,and on a zig they can be a devastating tactic I’ve had a lot of success over the years fishing them,keep up the good work so looking forward to your journey and you getting amongst the A-team tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Many thanks Wayne. Hopefully this is the year for one of those elusive ones!
Yes Kev a great end to the few months fishing great angling as always keep up the good work can’t wait for the next one on the new season tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers Wayne👍
Mate what an awesome video and top angling there well done it definitely was margin mayhem tight lines for the next one 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Wayne. It was great fun. Keeps me nimble in my old age!
Well done Kev what a great start keep up the great work really enjoy all your videos tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Wayne!
Wicked video mate, that lake look unreal. I'm guessing you can't say what it's called?
Thanks df. All I can say is that it's in the Hampshire Avon valley and a dead man's shoes syndicate to get into.
@@carpingkev I can see why mate
Well done kev, great work ethic again Zig not my bag but never the less they certainly work regards Paul
Cheers Apol. Zigging hasn't really been my thing either in my 30+ years of carping, but you're never too old to change!
Great to see you baxk there, Kev. and a decentr one on opening day. Well done!
Thanks Tim. Back home again😁
Nice one Kev👍👍🎣
Cheers Simon. Very satisfying that one. I need to do a few more days sessions moving around I think.
Well done kev my confidence on zig on my club lake was zero nobody fishes with them its tricky little lake where they don't show much thought I'd give the adjustable a go managed two on day trips definitely will be using g them again tight lines m8
Nice one Mark! Very satisfying isn't it? I'm definitely going to try it again myself.
Well, done, Kev what a mess but finally got one on the zig good lad
Cheers Dave. All in a day's fun.
Hi kev, I love your videos, and keep doing them.What are you putting in your bags.
Hi Robert. Many thanks. Much appreciated. My spod/bag mix is various size and type of pellet with different break down times, flaked tuna, ground tigers, hemp, sweetcorn, all soaked in 'squid sauce' (which is actually anchovy liquid). Oh, and some Himalayan pink salt. Cheers
Another awesome vid kev mate well done
Cheers Richard. I had missed that lake
Hi mate I really enjoy your videos out of curiosity I have fox ntxr I noticed you have fox rx alarms with delkim indicators do they just plug straight in & work or is there a altercation needed regards Dan
Hi Invasivecarp. You need converters (which I think reverse the polarity on the connections). I bought mine from Kudos Tackle whose website is via Facebook. About £25 each. Cheers
@carpingkev Hi mate thanks 👍 & look forward to seeing you're next video 🙂👍
Yep well deserved you can’t relax for a minute 🦢 🦆 👍👍👍
Cheers Steve. Indeed. Not with those gulls and swans! Cheers
Cracking session mate.
Thanks Mike. Great fun
