I Caught The Forgotten Ponds COW! Fattest Fish I've Ever Caught!

  • Well it was finally time to start a forgotten ponds carp campaign! Over three sessions I went out to a recently discovered forgotten pond in the hopes of catching some of its larger inhabitants! I used a couple of different methods from bottom baits to surface fishing to try and catch these wild fish. It started off tough learning the water, but it wasn't long before I figured it out and started to get some action and they were CHUNKS!

    Just a little side note. Each session was about 4 hours long, so only a total of around 12 hours bank time for these quality fish. Sometimes choosing to go for just a few hours first or last light can be more productive than an entire day on the bank. Hope you guys enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed the fishing!

      Find them
      Bait them
      Catch them
      Brilliant watercraft and I do like the stealth approach with the silent alarm 😂 , keep pre baiting over a few weeks whilst it’s still warm ish and you get more , there’s no angling pressure there either 👍
      Got to do a few more sessions on there , great video !!!
      good luck and tight lines,

      Pukka video mate I've got a forgotten lake I fish only fished it twice and had 1 carp of 5lb but learn a few forgotten tips off you 😀, I'd keep on the lake another couple of weeks in my opinion the weather isn't changing infact it's getting better for carp fishing, but fully recommend fishing a mid spring session there the carp will be at there biggest then 😀 👍 🎣🎣🎣, keep the vids coming mate loving the channel 👍 😀

    So nice to see a fishing area that hasn’t got a wooden boarding area as big as a car park and hasn’t had the trees cut back so that the armchair carp ‘ specialist’ can’t show off how much gear they have. Breath of fresh air.

      Wheelbarrow to the peg, set up the bivvy, cast out 3 rods and settle down for a kip. Hopefully catch one of the huge fish that have been dumped there.
      Not for me either, like a bit of jungle warfare. But each to their own 👍

    Thank you Chris for sharing this flipping awsome awsome video diary of the forgotton pond, I have watched and loved them all both the Pike & the Carp.
    I don't know why but since you started your mini campaign on this out of the way place I have imagined how it used to look before it became so over grown, i think that it is your great story telling that made me feel like i was there myself.
    I hope that you can keep this place to yourself and maybe clear some weed to make it more fishable.
    So it's a big YES from me to fish the place as much as you would like as it's not every day that any of us get to fish somewhere as mystical as that.
    All the best.
