Fishing for carp in the Sussex/Kent borders.

About me;
Having grown up on a trout farm in west sussex in the early 80’s , fishing has been a huge part of my life since the age of 4, when my fishing mad father first taught me how to use a rod.
I fished with my father on local club waters, some of which i am still a member of to this day.
At age 12 we moved to Kenya and whilst living there, i fished with local fishermen catching barracuda, rays and baby hammerhead sharks from the coast.
Sadly my father died whilst we were there and we had to move back to the UK.
I did not fish much for the next 10 years, only joining friends in the summer and not really having much interest in it.
15 years ago I rejoined my old club, and the bug returned, I’ve been carp crazy ever since.
Currently i am receiving dialysis treatment for kidney failure, and i am awaiting a transplant.
Nature is the best therapist and healer of all.

Late April & Late June (pre/post spawning)@ Orchard Place Farm Fishery & A Club Lake
2 days and one weekend @ Orchard place farm fishery in April, catching some nice commons and mirrors and a catfish too. No fishing in May and most of June, due to spawning and family commitments.
Went back to a club lake in late June, and had a recapture from last year at 29lb (down a pound from September 2023).

Just a silly video with some music I like. Fitness is important for the task ahead. Ain’t no paths or barrows where I’m going, it’s a 1 mile carry of all equipment needed, through all kinds of jungle madness. Like @ Subscribe for more adventures.

A sneaky peek at a lake I fished some 32 years ago with my pops before he passed. Just one of the venues where my carp dreams began as a young boy. Long since been closed to the public, and appears to have been unfished since it’s closure some 30 years ago. Like & Subscribe plus leave a comment if you think it’s worth a cheeky overnighter

Great video thanks. I often wonder about a little pond in Sussex I fished as a boy. There was free fishing and it would have about 60 kids every night through June after the start of the season each year. They would pulling out small Roach and Perch and every so often someone would hook a small carp or tench and the crowd would build. Wonderful times in about 1975 and I guess such sights will never be seen again sadly.
@@piclife1178 There’s still plenty of those places around, i know of 3 untouched with Carp in them. Keep an eye out for my next videos and thanks for the comment 👍🏻
is this conan the destroyer film music?
Conan the Barbarian mate, the original film music
Nice little nod to your Dad there fella….I knew at the end you were going to say you were going back to feed them 👍😘
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻 Yes i have been visiting them and feeding them a nice fishmeal pellet with protein and good fats. Won’t fish it again for a while but be sure to subscribe for any future updates 👍🏻
Places like this are really exciting. In this day where carp fishing is so saturated these type of places are few are far between. I once spent years creeping over a place at night to fish and had them up to 38. Some of my fondest memories and the most exciting period in my angling
That’s very true mate, carp fishing isn’t what it used to be. Everyones doing the same thing wearing the same clothes and buying the same gear. It’s like they all came off a production line. I have another lake that i am planning on filming at, it’s the carp lake that time forgot. Be sure to subscribe to see more
Is that at CH school?
No it’s not. I won’t be disclosing where it is either sorry
No problem - only asked as it looked similar to one at CH I used to fish when a pupil there many decades ago lol
What’s the smallest carp you’ve caught on a double 18mm and size 4 hook???
What ever you do please don't disclose the location Your regret it
I know that for sure 😉 DON’T worry! And DO subscribe. Will be updates on the secret lake and how the carp are doing as I regularly feed them 👍🏻
Great vid mate,to come back after all these years and reminisce ,you just don't find these places anymore Tight line fella😎👍
Very true mate, and thanks! make sure to watch part 2 👍🏻
@@Uk_carp_diaries watching now mate loving the channel👍
@@jamesgreensit7346 Enjoy mate ☺️
splendid film mate!! looks like a cozy place to fish with all them trees and vegetation
Thanks mate! Yes a very tranquil place
Interesting places you find from your childhood it's great I have a couple of little get aways from the past
Cherish them my friend cos they may not be around forever
Did you have permission to trespass..?
Of course!
Quality mate good angling. Get some bait in for the poor old things though lol
Thanks mate, i will return to fatten them up for sure 👌🏻
catch and releasd on new lake..give them new waters.
Nice idea mate! but not so sure about cross contamination and what not. Could end up wiping out the new lake with just one poorly fish, and that mirror did sadly have some kind of growth on it 😢 Thanks for the comment though 👍🏻
Great watch mate 🎉❤
Thanks mate ☺️
Good vid,get a bulk cheap sack of flaked maize ,feed them on that, No prep ...straight in the pool..
Was gonna get bulk bags of frozen corn, will look into flaked maize too thanks mate 👍🏻 make sure you like & subscribe
Great result, such a shame its been neglected
I know right, poor carp have been starving for years! I reckon that mirror was a bigun at one time, judging by the size of it’s head and mouth
Yes definitely, was huge mouth . Hope you make another one over there, be good to see what else is in there .keep feeding them if you can .
@@stevewilliams7328 I will do mate, they need fattening up a bit, I’m pretty sure there will be some bigger ones in there too.
Great video man bet it brought good memories flooding back 👍👍
Sure did mate and thanks 👍🏻
Poor carp. Need a good feeding!
Yes mate, gonna express delivery some corn and particles there for sure 👌🏻
Just need to find the owner. Pitch managing the lake and we will all bring the bait. It’s like an RSPCA ad for neglegted carp
yesss u got 1
Yes mate! Result
Jealousy is a sin. children....Grow some kiddo....
Thanks for your comment!
This is brilliant mate
Thanks geeza! New video up soon 👍🏻
Is that in essex ?
No not Essex. Sussex
@@Uk_carp_diaries cheers, looks exactly like a lake I used to fish in Essex thats now not used . I must go back one day . Looking forward to seeing the next vid .
@@stevewilliams7328 You should go check it out if you can. New video coming soon 👍🏻
That’s a bit of me, don’t suppose you could share the location. Tight lines brother
Nat at this stage mate no. Thanks for watching

Haven’t seriously carp fished since 1995 would love to fish one particular private lake I used to poach regular again.Look forward to part 2 really enjoyed👍

Get on it kiddd! Be something to look forward to if nothing else, retracing your steps of your childhood
You know that! Keep an eye out for the next episode
Is this place nr Haywards Heath? I think I fished it or a place like it last in 1983. Good luck.
Hi Gary, no, it’s nowhere near Haywards Heath mate. Keep an eye out for the next episode though 👍🏻
Let me know in the comments if you think it’s worth a sneaky night 🤫
Defo worth it. Be some monsters in that pond, got to be. Let us know in another vid
@@kevinbentley8351 Let’s hope so mate 🤞🏼 keep a look out for the next episode, coming soon.
100% mate these ones are what hold the special ones.. the forgetton ones
@@AaronCarpAngler-UK Let’s hope so mate! Make sure to keep an eye out for the next episode
Caught my first ever double from that very lake...
Do you bring your rods in to have a proper sleep? I do it because i need recovery from Dialysis treatment. It does rest the swim also so win win 🏆
Where are you mate? looks like Orchard, some nice looking fish, also I leave my roots out if I know there's some decent lumps in there,
@@WOBS60 I’m at a club lake in this video, yes i agree, if there are real biguns i will leave the rods out all night, but not for tiddlers, I’d rather sleep 😴
@Uk_carp_diaries yes mate, the last thing you want through the night is to keep getting woken up by small fish 🐟 😉 ,tight lines bud,
@@WOBS60 Thanks mate 👍🏻 Hope you have a Mega 2024
@@Uk_carp_diaries you to bud,
great video pal hope your mums okay
Thanks mate really appreciate it 🫶🏻
Waterlogged swims are a nightmare! Especially when you crack out the new bivvy 🤦🏻♂️

Nice little video that mate - enjoyed the intimacy of your margin fishing and something I need to try more of. New subscriber 👍🏼 tight lines 🎣
Thanks specialist blanker 👍🏼good luck for 2024
The curse of the new equipment 😠
When was your first night at a lake? Mine was nearly 30 years ago and I still prefer to sleep at home in my bed 😂 Besides I catch all my big fish during the day. Day sessions for the win 🏆
Sometimes it’s fun just to go after the little Carp. Its not all about catching BIGUNS
What’s your favourite go to boilie and why?
Don’t you just love a quick day session 30+?
The Bastard blank! All that effort for nothing 😂
Who likes fishing discreetly in the margins, as opposed to having line cutting through half the lake 😜
Who else feels devastated after a lost fish? 😢 Let me know how it makes you feel
Who else is mortified by a loss? Let me know in the comments 👍🏼
Who’s fished lake number 7 for the big girls? Let me know in the comments folks 👍🏼
Lake 12 bro I probably know something you don't but just trust me give it a go
@@CarpMan34 Ok i will check it out 👍🏻 thanks 🙏🏻
