Amazing video and an amazing young angler who completely understands the essence of real fishing. ESP really are a step up from the rest. All these over stocked lakes rammed with numpties who have only ever sat behind a bank of rods and alarms are my idea of hell.
@@teotriggs8941 Alan is a top top carp angler, i remember when he went to fish a park lake in Liverpool and on his first cast he caught a twenty from right under the local anglers noses.
From dark days Battling the Black dog to Battling big dark beautiful carp. Inspirational nice Angling Alfie. Peace, Love and light in all you do in life Young man
Its actually not that difficult, it just takes effort and homework. If youre prepared to drive the miles and not catch the biguns there's a ton of this fishing to be had in the UK, just don't expect it to be advertised like day ticket waters! They may be hard to find, but fishing has become too easy these days, it never used to be !
All my fishing is esp .can't always afford it but I save for what I need .esp has always done the best end tackle second to none .unfortunately my health leaves me low on money .other tackle just ain't the same .worms are free and great .
Cracking fish that Alfie ,I think worms as a bait are very underated ,please keep up the good work your inspiring lots of young people into fishing 👍 te young anglers into
Glad I had seen this because in the last 2 days Just gone I tried worms and started to catch small carp and then I got line snapped by a big carp because I forgotten to loosen the slip on the reel....Then I set the slip on reel and hooked a 2nd big carp but after a short while the carp managed to get off the hook because of barbless hook rules of the pool I was fishing....I have never done carp fishing before in my life. This is my fist time...
clear water, snaggy, big and wild carp is pure heaven. any reccomendations for this type of fihsing in humber side or close-ish? found a few places like this but theyre very seldom
That is indeed proper fishing. I always waggler fish the margins with worm/meat etc and always catch more than the bite alarm brigade. This way you actually set the hook rather than the fish hooking itself plus you get the initial burst when hooked unlike when using bite alarms as by time angler gets to the rod the fish has already made its initial bolt after feeling the hook. Well done young man.
You sound a bit clueless Peter. "The Bite Alarm Brigade' That will include Terry Hearn, Ritchie Macdonald, Rod Hutchinson, Chris Ball, Lee Jackson and pretty much 99% of carp anglers. Opportunities to freelance for carp in the edge and with enough water clarity to see what's going on are very rare
@@mattiemclean9882 you must be a bite alarm brigader lol. yes very rare but the only type of carping worthwhile to some people. when i go for a 24hr or 48hr, i spend my days roaming the lake, and the nights sleeping behind buzz bars
40+ tons of 30s use mag aliners or medusa rigs you need atleast 2 gallons with corn and hemp or corn and crushed bollies with maggot you dont need to baIT AND WAIT SO MUCH GOOD FOR CASTING TO SHOWING FISH
A fattie but nice oval form to it.....I only free line....but in my local lake there are maybe three fish.....they never show..even on sunny sunbathing days.......the water is turkey...tons of Pirhana a roach.....super aware of people.....when they take bread off top which is rare they sometimes swipe at it almost like a tuna trapping some thrown in mackerel bait. Very curious..could be a weakness in espically the big mirror....but right place right time and all that.....they seem to vacate an area that is pre baited....as something to be wary of....they are a challenge....if you want to have a go....they are beating me I confess thus far....

What about Nash? Everyone knocks Blair but this is his fishing-never see anyone put comments like these on his videos
I left the lake’s alone in the mid 90s, since 2000 I’ve only fished the rivers for carp n pike out of the tinnie I had made.

Wow what an amazing video .. no special rigs no advertisements just proper old school angling using wit and determination.. good lad
Thanks for inspiring hope into the carp enthusiast who can’t afford to chuck 5 kilos of shelf baits every time they fish 😂 top fishing mate!

Free line worm a forgotten art. Caught the best fish of my life aged 17 on worm in 1994
That’s the best way of angling…👌🏻👍🏻
I wish I could do this type of fishing fed up of rammed day tickets
I agree it's shit, the problem is it's hard to find decent natural places that ain't been ruined.
Its actually not that difficult, it just takes effort and homework.

@@lordamercy5609 depends what part the country you live in.
Yes this is actual fishing, I dont do fishing lakes anymore just river and natural lake.
@@Fishwish like i said "if you are prepared to do the miles"

@@r.v6290 I couldn't give a monkies what you do old bean!
How refreshing
I do all of my carp fishing with nightcrawlers.
The king is back
Never underestimate the power of a worm cheapest bait ever if you don't mind a dig 👌nice one Alfie that girl a beautiful specimen
Mega Alfie
Beautiful
Consistency is key
Any idea how he's hooking those lobs? Straight on the hook?
One lob, split into three just straight on!
caughtt all my pbs on maggot and worm
How big we talking dude
40+ tons of 30s use mag aliners or medusa rigs you need atleast 2 gallons with corn and hemp or corn and crushed bollies with maggot you dont need to baIT AND WAIT SO MUCH GOOD FOR CASTING TO SHOWING FISH
That's awesome man
2 gallons of maggots or worms?
🤙🤙
Any good on rivers ?
Nothing fast flowing
Quality
👍👍
👊
Had all my PB carp on these low stock natural lakes fuck the commercials this is proper fishing.
i love gettin a lob on
Is that the small or large mat
Small :)
Cheers 🍻 what weighting sling do u use
Alfie where you been mate
Real fishing how it should be
All those houses behind and never been caught.
Simple and deadly you can take me with you one day mate
Where is this lake????
Lol
🤣
Why is this only 12 minutes 😐
@CastAirLead yes
@CastAirLead be nice to see the take, and playing the fish maybe?
Alfie was alone when he hooked the big old girl so unfortunately there is no footage of it being hooked etc!
Great to see some proper fishing but we are keeping those fish out of the water a bit too long whilst chatting to the camera...
Natural baits always better ,
One funny thing though is one minute the fish is a him and then it’s a her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is this the no-fishing SSSI in Kent, that was fished in the close season, complete with film crew?
No, we have never filmed in Kent.

WICKID!!!!, GET IN THAT NET!!
Come back when you’ve done the circuit lad
Because being a good angler is about fishing circuit waters 🙄
As if circuit waters are desirable 😂
🙄 what a knob. Circuit waters, sat on yr fat arse waiting for a bite.
Looks like he just got 3 bites ! Good angling JS !!
he's probably got a life to tbf
Keep ye mask on and you'll catch loads of fish???
