Listening through headphones whilst fishing an overnighter, I got so excited when I heard the Delkim rattle off, jumped out the bivvy, only to realise you had a double take 😂😂😂😂
Hi mate, thanks for commenting and glad you liked the video. Yeah, it’s not always about quantity although I can get through a lot of bait sometimes lol. Good to know there are other fans of strategic baiting! All the best with your fishing, cheers, Matt.
i liked it before even watching it!! due to every previous video you’ve made being excellent, informative and easy to follow. love your content matt. 🙌
Looooool he sure as hell made it clear he wanted back in he's home, I like to allow them time to recover once landed ( while I rebait & re cast ) before I weigh & take pics- but allowing them that 5 mins in the sling means exactly what you just got- @ 10,14 🤣, a very lively fish that let's you know its not happy, I just think it's better fish care allowing them that little time to recover ( un-hooked in the sling ( plus yiu can get a bait back out working - building up their confidence is key & you have showed it working in full affect 👏👏👏 Brilliant work Matthew ( as always) you're definitely one of my fave's I've been looking at lakes in France ( to purchase) but they vary so much from 40k for a water that needs lots of work ? No problem being a general builder contractor for many many years ( thats all im saying age wise 🙄) all the way up to a ongoing lake/business- I intend to have a few months in France in 22 & I will be visiting your beautiful water ( just going to look & see when you have a available single spot failing room for 3-4 of us- thanks for all the information you share & explain clearly- easy the best run French water ive found that has a UA-cam channel, well done sir & thank you ...Lee 🎣🎣
Brilliant filming and advice like always Matthew, just a masterclass lesson for me and others, stay safe over the festive season and enjoy the fishing, cheers
Hi Johnny, thanks very much for the feedback mate, means a lot to know that our little videos are helping so many, we’re amazed really (that’s me and my other half, Ren, who’s behind the camera and does the editing!). You stay safe too and look out for the next video after Christmas 😊 Cheers, Matt.
Matthew I’ve been following you for a long time with your videos on rigs and your detailed explanation and find them absolutely brilliant keep it up please 👌👌👌
I really like your content,your explaining things about Carp fishing really make sense and are well explainend in such a way that it is easy to follow. Thank you very much from a Carp angler from the Netherlands,i hope that someday i may visit France to catch Carp. All the best,jelle.
Very informative and straight to the point. Always highlighting negatives as well as positives on strategy. The pacman baiting is a great edge.i always try and make an arrow pointing to my rig 👍
Hi mate, thanks for the feedback 😊 It's a private lake in France that I own and run. It's available to hire by the week on a exclusive only basis for groups of up to 4 anglers. If you want to have more information, you can visit our website: www.frenchcarpandcats.com. Cheers, Matt.
Hi Matt, just came accross this video. Love your videos, very informative - thanks for sharing. Would you mind sharing the mix you brievly describe at 3:55 in this video ? Ratios and quantities if you dont mind.
So I was using particles that don’t need cooking, just soaking. I used wheat and cracked maize in this video. Ratios don’t come into a recipe like this, it’s literally whatever you have. If you’ve got garlic and some spices then you can wack those in too. Can’t advise on levels, just have a go and see how it goes!
Hi Peter, thanks very much for your suggestion. The best advice I can give you is to be super organised. Everything in my swim and my setup has to be in the right place so that day or night I can lay my hands on whatever I need in a flash. You should also get yourself a second net. You don’t have to spend big bucks. Make sure you have a bank stick for each net so that you can securely pin the landing net to the ground after each capture. Make sure your rod setup is very secure and use a semi tight clutch. This means that the rod can play the other carp while you are busy landing the other. If double takes are a possibility then don’t fish near snags with both rods. Hope that advice helps. Best of luck! Matt.
Hi mate cracking as all the rest but can u give a newbie a few tips on baiting for day ticket waters for Autumn and winter as I want to conti I'd getting a few night sessions in over the colder m9nths cheers
Hi mate, well, a lot of anglers believe that during the autumn the carp will be on a massive binge as they want to eat as much as they can before the winter. Therefore, they think that piling a load of bait is the thing to do. I don’t agree with this approach. I can see at my lake that the carp actually slow down in their feeding routine as they can’t digest the same amount as they can in the summer, and that’s purely because the water temperature is decreasing. So, if you’re doing quick overnighters and day sessions in the autumn, into the winter, all you need are small traps in the right place at the right time. My go to method is always PVA in various forms (or even a single if I’m fishing at long range). It could be stringers or little mesh bags or solid bags. It doesn't really matter that much. All you need to do is pick two or three spots and set your traps. Try and avoid the temptation to move these traps about every few hours (as many do) as that will usually work against you. If you see any carpy signs, obviously you need to act on that, but have the confidence to leave them in play and give it your best shot. Every recast is only damaging the hook on the retrieve anyway. Many times I’ve cast to a showing fish, left the rig in place the rest of the day, and through the night and then had a pickup at breakfast the next morning. Hope that helps and check out my PVA video for more tips and ideas: ua-cam.com/video/7y066e1Q6Xk/v-deo.html Cheers, Matt.
@@matthewcollinsangler cheers mate just making u a few mesh bags of cc Moore krill bag mix and crushed boilie . But also got some krill boilies in glug to just spread a few free offerings over the top . Going put one out on mesh , one solid bag . And then try the Pac man method you mentioned in the margin as only on a small day ticket water . Thanks again for in depth reply and help
@@truckinghell1655 Hi mate, I wouldn't over flavour any freebies myself but I do like to glug the hook bait. You want to be a bit careful making up PVA mesh bags in advance as, in certain situations, the PVA can absorb oils and take a lot longer to dissolve (especially as the water temperature drops). The last thing you want is melted PVA costing you a bite. You can test one in a bucket or in shallow water where you can see what's going on :) Great to hear that you're trying the Pacman approach, it's been used successfully here for years! Do let us know how you get on. Cheers, Matt.
Done exactly that mate checked a few in some cold water and they are slowing up but are dissolving within about 30 seconds . Using mesh on the one got some plugged but rest of the bag is plain will take all this on board and let you know how we get on cheers
Another great Video of your lake and truly beautiful fish. Not that far from me I live north of Limoges. Simply tactics, and always great advice and content.Where did you fish in England?
Hi Tony, thanks very much for commenting. Glad you like the video and the venue. I grew up near Tewkesbury fishing the Avon and the Severn. After a long break, I spent some time on Horseshoe and Linear then in 2008 went to Abbey lakes with some of the lads from Avid and that changed everything for me. I moved to France and bought Beausoleil in 2011 along with my French wife :) I absolutely love it here :) Hope you enjoy some nice fishing where you are.
@@matthewcollinsangler I was a member of Mid Kent Fisheries in Kent spent most of the time at Chilham before coming here in 2007. I love it here , very fortunate that their are some good waters in Limousin. Now 67 and been fishing since I was 10 and carping for the last 40 years.Good luck to you at Beausoleil and all the best for the future.
Hi Leo, the name comes from a very old computer game from the 1980s! It’s a tactic that a guest at the lake invented. It simply means dotting individual baits in a line along a margin in order to force the carp to move from bait to bait to bait. This can make them easier to catch. Hope that helps, regards, Matt.
Thank you Mat😁you have just kept my pecker up lol cos starting to feel pissed off now! Some beautiful carp out of your pond mate👍quick question mate how big is your gorgeous water and depth plus how many carp live in there? Danboy 👌
Hi Dan, ah that's great to hear mate. Everyone is really feeling it so it's nice to be able to do a little bit to help. The lake is 4 acres and has over 80 x 25lbs+ carp. Most are 30s with 8 x 40s now. We also have 20 homegrown carp that are low/mid doubles. Then there are 20 massive catfish that average 85lbs. There are 4 known 100lbs cats. We also have loads of roach, some perch, pike and zander for balance. Depths range from 3 to 8 ft and the bottom is a mix of sand, gravel, clay and silt with very little weed growth. If you want to find out more about the lake, you can check out: www.frenchcarpandcats.com/fishing/lake-overview/. Anything else, just shout 😊 Cheers, Matt.
Hi John, yes mate using a trick running lead system with “tell tale” beads to tell me if I’ve been done. If you want to have a closer look at the rig then watch Vlog 1: ua-cam.com/video/LMG0aCceD64/v-deo.html I will be doing a full how to video on the system and the mono D-Rig soon so do subscribe if you’d like to see it.
