- Otter predation and keeping new generations of fish growing in a lake are things to consider when managing a carp fishery. We head down to VS Fisheries to purchase 20 carp. You'll get a behind the scenes insight to one the biggest carp farms in the UK. Fish Farming is hard work but the rewards are hugely satisfying. Enjoy.

I worked 6 months for the biggest fish farmer in northern France. We generally netted 2 lakes a day separating carp from the Cats, Zander, Pike, silver a nuisance fish back at the fishery upon arrival, then carrying them in crates into 9 small retaining pond for later sale. Sometimes they would go same day into one of the fisheries own lakes. Up at 7, done by 2pm. It was exhausting. Proper mud walking waist deep running the nets, ferrying fish up uneven Ricky banks to the waiting tanks. Each day I would slip and fall onto my knees, sometimes I would get stuck in mud and wait to be popped out.
You could carry 2 x15kg carp a time in bin plastic bins for hours. Finishing covered in mud, that cold you couldn't feel your feet or hands.
So take this work and multiply it by 2. At first there was interest, then it became a drudge, then hell to be honest.
Most people commandeered to do it once, after wising up they don't want to volunteer again. It is the hardest, coldest, most uncomfortable work there is, bar none.
Hats off to those who do it for a living. There's a technique to mud walking I never mastered and the loose easy on anglers fishing waders are useless for mud work. You need a wet suit or at least tight fitting neoprene waders.
Never again.
Respect!
Sounds like hard graft that mate! hats off and like you say, guys that do it for a living are mental lol
15 years ago, I both 10 karps from 10kg each to my small lake of 800M5 , and 3 months later the where getted smaler they where about 6 kg annymore.a piece. The food the dealer is giving is verry proteine rich. so they grow like crazy. So if you want them to keep so big, you have to feed them every dag extra food. And only then they will grow bigger and bigger.. Th belgium record is now 37 kilo for 1 carp. my personel record is 16 kilo . And this was a verry nice mirror;. This vid was verry enjoyable, thank you
i know they know what they're doing but after being taught to be very mindful of how you handle carp my heart kinda sank seeing them more or less chuck the carp into the sling like that XD. Great video btw, amazing to see the behind the scenes of fish farming
The way they transport fish is the best way as it saves injury. As you know these days know exactly how to handle and move carp so rest assured they all got to new homes safe and well :) glad you enjoyed the video also. Thanks for the feedback.
Sleeping with all the waders 😂 at least you could drop one 💨 unnoticed
Great video a few laughs and carp what could be better
great stuff, what mega fish ... brings back memory's when we could sleep in the polly tunnel at Horton Church lake (back in the day) when Viv used to live there and breed fish ... great film!!
Always love watching your videos, insightful, enjoyable and honest.
Cheers Lee, glad you like the vids mate.
🎣briefly met the legend that is Simon Scott at Tees Valley Lakes a couple weeks ago. Seeing some beauts going into the new Yarm Lakes. Its great to see all this work 😁
Glad you enjoyed it mate, yes Scotty is a ledge!
Kid in a sweet shop comes to mind , what a great video chaps 👌🏻😊
Indeed Jon! carp galore mate!
What an awesome slice of life. Thanks for sharing with us
Pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video and a great insight in to what goes on behind the scenes would love to do something like this and pick my own fish for a fishery but need a fishery first lol thanks guys for this one
That is a wonderful video and has a real happy feeling about it.Those fish are absolutely immaculate.
Great video gents, onwards and upwards for a bright future 👏👌
Indeed mate!
Cracking video.
Awesome video guys! There is always something so magical about releasing fish into their new home. Love it!
Indeed mate, hopefully they'll have a long, happy life :)
Brilliant as always
Cheers Jamie, glad you enjoyed it mate
Great stuff guys! I have fond memories of my sparsholt days where Viv, Simon and Sue were my lecturers :) Great future for those carp thats for sure!
Cheers mate! forgot you were a student once mate!
To actually see one of the carp in harvest to then see it go into the old Potomac aka gunsbury park bpmas lakes was amazing
Ahh wicked thats a nice touch, glad you enjoyed it mate
Great video, I used to love helping my brother netting lakes when he had MKF in kent, not knowing what was in the net, as you said though it is bloody hard work
Yes it's a great day doing stuff like that Clive hey, glad you enjoyed the vid mate
Really enjoyed that!
Lovely looking 🐟
some of them mirrors where just stunning
Lovely carp weren't they mate!
Great vid again, Mike. I helped with some nettings the last few years and it’s proper graft, yet thoroughly enjoyable! 👍🏽🔥⚙️
Glad you enjoyed it mate, yes as you know its not easy mate is it!
Not a carp guy myself, but loved this vid. Like most anglers, I’d love my own fishery 1 day.
Nice , love it !!
Cheers Peter, glad you enjoyed it mate
Great video, big fan here! But am I the only one who is missing sound (for example when Mark talks about his plan to net them all in one go: no voice)?
Hi Mate, you watching it through ear phones? we had a small issue with a new set of wireless mics we used, a few bits were stereo not dual (both speakers) but thats all sorted now for future films. :)
@@BaitworksTV Thank you for the reply, great you make time for it!
I wish someone who help out the old boy who owns the lake I go to he dug it all out in the 60s he is in his late 80s its amazing place in Lincolnshire
Brilliant guys, and a fantastic insight into Mark’s stocking policy. Some stunning carp and I’m certainly hoping a few of them grace my net in the coming months 👍🏻🙏🏻🎣🐳
Ps Did all 20 go in BW or did some go next door ?
Called on a couple of times to help in netting, big buzz to start, then 30’s become the norm then you realise that it is f*kin hard work & you finish off with a sore back!!
I used a translator so it may not be accurate. The carp shown in this video is a different size from the Korean variety. Is there a difference in the breeding period? In Korea, they are raised for two years.
These would have been alot older than two years mate, possibly 6 years. cheers
Didn’t like how the fella was just chucking them in the slings about 3mins 40secs!
They slide into the slings, certainly no chucking involved.
Brilliant video, not trying to criticise because we all know the knowledge & experience that these guys have is very high. The thing that gets me though is how the carp at one point were
Stacked on top of each other in a box We all have a duty to protect and care for the fish so it seems crazy that you don’t have a fear of damaging a peck or similar whilst they are so close in the box at an early stage in their life.
@@jasonthompson5104 Hi Jas, thats done for a reason mate, it's done to protect the fish. The stacking stops movements. A single 20lb fish in a tank usually goes a bit wild and easily snaps tails and fins.
ARE YOU GUYS STOCKING COATES WATER?
330 the way he dropped it in the sling mad
Does this not stress the fish out netting them
It's live stock farming mate, no stress really.
Why vs fish and not Simmo or leaney? Any reason?
VS have Leney strain carp on the farm and Si's a mate so we enjoy a good catch up at the same time.
Guys you need to sort the sound out on your Baitworks videos! Its splitting the narrator and the sound between left and right speakers, and throughout the video switches them back and forth. Its infuriating, which is a shame as I do enjoy your subject matter in your films.
What you watching it on Gordon as we've never had any issues reported? never had feedback of this nature so we're keen to hear what device your watching through mate.
@@BaitworksTV I'm watching it on my PC and listening though a head set. It's only happens with your videos guys so some kind of technical problem during production maybe?
@@gordonrazey Very odd mate, tested this end through headphones, on TV, via a MAC and its all fine. We'll keep exploring. What does it sound like without headphones through your PC speakers?
@@BaitworksTV I've no speakers but I'll test it on some other devices and get back to you 👍
@@gordonrazey Please do as we'd love to know if its the same on other devices with headphones plugged in and no plugged in. cheers Gordon.
Is illegal to breed Carp in Australia,, is an illegal offence to do so. So even though this is in another country why do you breed them?
