Cheers YT!
@fishwithcarl you know your cherished when UA-cam comments on your videos ❤
Hope UA-cam subscribed to your channel Carl 😎✌️
I love watching your videos I wake up really early to watch your videos
looks great only thing is as angler theres always some new tackle that grabs our attention sooner or later your going to need a bigger room ❤
For 3 days straight I've done nothing else but play a fishing game on the computer and watch your videos, I'm temporarily unemployed because of a knee injury and trying to avoid a downward spiral into depression because it's been 2 months like this, but seeing you and Alex together is so wholesome, heartwarming and all the videos are so inspiring that it's made me want to go back to fishing again, but I left all my gear behind after a messy divorce. Seeing your channel grow gradually as I go through older videos to the newer ones is also inspiring, good job mate, keep it up!
Hi Carl, myself (37) and Alfie my son (9) watch your channel all the time and were lucky enough to meet you at The Big One show in Farnborough this year. You signed Alfies poster, which is up on his wall. We are always thinking of items that would help us catch more fish but i think comfort on the bank is also super important and as i am 6"6' getting a bed chair that is long enough is a problem. So it would be a bed chair big enough.
Thanks for all the videos without you and your brother neither myself or Alfie would have started fishing.
Hi Carl I have been fishing for about a year I am ten years old me and my dad go fishing all the time ever since I have been fishing I have been watching u and u have given me some great inspiration to do more fishing and not give up the item of tackle I would like is carp gear I have recently got into carp fishing with my dad and we would like a larger cradle of carp floater rods any carp gear would be great I wish you the best of luck fishing more and more thank very Much Reggie and Garry ( my dad )
Also keep up the good more my man well done I wish to be like u one day
I think this is what every angler's dream storage room looks like. Congratulation Carl !
Thanks for watching!
You have been a perfect example of what a fishing youtube channel should be. And whereas us helping you is true, you also helped a lot of us with your videos. My dream tackle would actually be a bedchair because of my back. Keep up with the videos.

I'm 13 from Spain and I've been trying for carp for so long because of problems of tackle but you kept me motivated and caught witch might be small for you but for me it's huge😂 it was 10 pounds😅🎉
I'm 14 now and I only started fishing last year after years and years of watching fishing videos on UA-cam about it. I was completely desperate to catch any kind of fish, big or small and I finally convinced my dad to take me to the tackle shop and he told me that it is too complicated and I'm too young to go on my own as I was only 8 at the time. I was completely gutted and I carried on watching videos online until I got abit bored of it as I was unable to go. Then in the summer holidays last year when I was 13 I saw some of your videos and it reignited my addiction to something I had never done. I got some money for my birthday and I went straight back to the tackle shop and bought my very first float rod and reel to go to a commercial fishery close by with a friend and his dad who went often. After that I was completely hooked, I caught around 3 carp and I was desperate to go back the next week. After advancing some of my kit and buying a feeder rod my friend and another friend we met fishing have advanced their gear to carp fishing rods and even Bivvys while I'm still feeder fishing. They even went to Norton Disney for an overnight trip without me as I didn't have the stuff. My ask is for some basic carp fishing stuff so I can join them on their trips to bigger venues. Also Carl I am very thankful for your videos as they started me doing something I cannot stop thinking about all day in school.
that's quite my story but 10 years later... i forgot how much i loved fishing (used to fish with a normal rod, without reel) but a friend took me with him to a local river in Spain and we caught, well almost caught a big size carp.. i was hooked again.. and promised myself i will buy a rod with reel, so i did!
now here i am 6 years later with a complete advanced setup for feeder fishing, and some stationary too.
you are still young and with a long journey ahead of you. don't stop fishing.. is one of the most calm and thoughtful hobbies out there.
@@Tiger4ever89 I will definetly not stop, it's all I can think about.
Hi Noah, I’m happy to say you’ve won your dream item of tackle, please email carl@fishwithcarl.co.uk with your name, address and the item mentioned in your comment and I’ll do my best to get it sent out asap! Cheers, from Carl.
Where you from buddy 😁
@@dianewarburton5828I'm from lancashire
Hey Carl , I’m 14. My dream tackle would just be a good rod and reel with some equipment for carp ! I’ve been lake fishing twice and not caught anything but an eel , because we can’t afford the equipment for both me and my dad and my two brothers. All I want to do is finally catch a carp , the rivers round thetford in Norfolk are polluted with not many fish at all so catching something doesn’t usually happen.Thank you for the enjoyment you’ve given me throughout the years. I can’t wait for more incredible videos to come !!
i found a 25lb carp in a lake here in northern ireland was my fisrt carp catch now i aim to to find bigger ones
@@geoffreymcknight8495 that’s cool bro ! My dad has been carp fishing in uk for a long time , his biggest is 33 lbs I believe !!
I (aged 16) am very pleased with the amount of fishing tackle I have , however my brother (aged 9) has been bugging to get feeder fishing with me this summer. I own the only feeder fishing rod we have so it’s mainly shared when trying to teach my brother the ways of the tip. A feeder rod and reel would provide my brother with an opportunity to share the bank with me fishing along side me instead of on top of me 😂😂. You’re videos help us a lot through a shaky start to this year. Thank you for everything you do to the fishing community and keep up the good work.
Alfie :)
Carl it's been a joy to watch you and Alex fish and your different techniques have helped me and my son Conor on our outings fishing in different areas. We both love pike fishing and if you so happened to pick me I reckon a baitrunner reel would be a huge help to our kit. Keep up the good work Carl. Gavin
Hi Alfie!
I’m happy to say you’ve won your dream item of tackle, please email carl@fishwithcarl.co.uk with your name, address and the item mentioned in your comment and I’ll do my best to get it sent out asap! Cheers, from Carl.
Hey Carl, I am from Serbia and I've been going fishing ever since I was a little boy. I fell in love with fishing as soon as I caught my first fish and my fishing buddys were always my grandma and my little brother. After she passed away we stopped going for a while and 2 years ago my brother was hit by a car as a pedestrian. He recovered and in the past 2 years we have been going fishing more often. I have saved up some money to buy a reel and got my grandmothers old rod for lure fishing as gift from gramps, but my brother is left with no fishing equipment of that type so when we go to Danube river we share my rod and take turns. I am meerly starting to work and so I don't have enough resources to buy him a lure fishing rig and i am not signing in this competition for myself, but rather to give my brother the joy of coming along and competing against one another as when we were kids, thank you for the videos! :)
Loads of weights for
fishing
@@Gabriel-ix2in Yeah, it's been tough these past few years. But I guess things are looking up slowly. Always nice to go casting/float fishing and emptying your mind for a few hours...
Hi Carl. Great video, my dream bit of fishing gear would have to be 2 10ft 3lb Nash scope rods
Cheers to Omni for being such a lovely human and so supportive!
❤️❤️❤️
That was a great little project and excited for all your adventures coming this year. Great to see Alex make a guest appearance as well ☺️
If you’ve got a bed chair/sleep system going spare I’ll take it off your hands. My old camp bed has seen better days and I’m in dire need of an upgrade. Keep up the good work Carl 👍🏻
I am 14 now and I have been fishing for a little over a year now and have realy gotten in to carp fishing. I have been wanting a korda tackle box for a bit now as my current tackle box is a bit small and doest fit all of my carp fishing gear. Your videos have realy helped me with my fishing over the past year especially your fishing tutorials channel.
I love watching your videos all I do on free time when I'm not fishing is watch them. I am a 13 years old boy from Lithuania and my dream piece of tackle is delkim bite alarms with a receiver. I wish you'd post every single day!
I went fishing with my dad many years ago when I was a young lad, and have been getting back into it over the last couple of years, and I'm now teaching my own son to fish (he's 5, and I now know the frustration my own dad must have gone through with tangled line and entire boxes of maggots being thrown into the lake at once!) I have most of the kit I need for us both, the only thing I have never settled on is a decent chair - something to help my poor old back getting up and sitting down all the time! Thanks to you and Alex for all the help you have given us in this awesome hobby!
The fishing room looks great. What a difference. Also, it's great to see brothers together again. Love to see more pike content!
Hello, my name is Douglas. I'm 25 and have been fishing all my life. My dad and I have been enjoying taking out rowing boat out to sea and hoping for new and interesting species. We would love some multipliers. That's all :) Thanks Carl... and Alex for years of entertainment. Keep it up!
Good Morning Carl
I too remember having the one rod that did everything as a young boy ( I am now a pensioner so it was a few years ago ), i can relate to taking it everywhere and the joy of catching what to me were monster Gudgeon and best of all catching beautiful Rudd, i still love to fish and my dream item of tackle would be the Guru Fusion Base that would let me have just one carryall instead of separate bags that i have to carry.
the garage is looking good and i hope it stays tidy 😃
Amazing to see you Duo back together , separate paths in life but the same special bond that's makes you both as ONE when together again.
Well done Carl/Alex both legends that have blessed our screens for years. Bless you both and Keep your vlogs coming.
Steve M
I've always loved that your videos have that relaxed atmosphere. Feel like it's often just that "bam, boom"-stuff when you watch the average videos of others. You're just making such a more dedicated and professional impression in comparison to other youtubers. Brilliant Carl, keep up the fantastic work 🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
Ahh thanks so much Luca! Glad the videos come across well! Apologies it takes me so long to make them though! haha
You are living the dream with a stocked up fishing room like that Lad. Its a proper Tackle haven.
The dream is some proper stage-stands or a good rod pod. Made do with the same cheap rod pod for years but its showing its age now and its taken a fair battering from just about every species. I never used to think about rod support till I started on the carp fishing, now its the next tackle target.
I really hope for you to see this Carl, not necessarily to give me the item but just in general. I really enjoy watching your videos, and i LOVE the amount of effort you put into these videoes. They are so professional, calm and so inspiring and yet so motivational, i always wants to go out on the water and catch some fish after watching them. I've learned so many things over the few years i have followed. My two buddies calls me the multispecies champ, and well that can i thank you and alex for. Either your going fishing for carp, small stream fishing for chub, pike fishing or just chill videoes like this and with the kois, i'm always watching. You're videos gives me goose bumbs quite litteraly. Every time you upload a new video or one of your old videos pop up i click it and watch it, even tho i already have seen it i click it. Theres just something speicial about your videos man!
My dream would be a new 2500 reel with some strong braid in a thickness of around 0,12 - 0,15, for allaround fishing like pike, and seatrout here in denmark and maybe carp, but i haven't found a carp lake in denmark yet, i am still searching tho. But yeah that is just what i need right now because my old one broke last week. it doesn't need to be a crazy expensive reel like the shimano stella or reels in that range. I'm still a kid (14) so the money for a new reel just ain't there and my parents don't really have the money either.
I don't know if you are ever going to see this but keep up the good work Carl!!! You still don't fail to make smiles apear on my face and light up my days! I really look up to you.
All love - Mikkel 😁
Hi Carl, love your videos. I would definitely like to see more about micro fishing in small streams etc. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I'll try and get out and find some little streams again soon :)
Been watching you and Alex for a few years now and the level you have went to is mad, thinks it’s every kids dream who’s into fishing to have a little garage full of fishing gear like that! Next thing I’m looking on getting is a good set of alarms as right now they’re a bit rough haha keep up the good angling and tight lines!!
Hi from Watervliet, NY, USA
Just received my copy of “The Simple Fishing Guidebook”! It is beautifully done! The illustrations are stunning! I will be reading it “on the bank tonight”! Thank you so much!
your videos have helped so much
After a gap of 30 years and at the age of 57 I've started fishing again. I bought rod and tackle and although I had experience of float fishing I wanted to try carp fishing. This is where I found your channel, tutorials, your channel with your bro and now I'm with you here.
The clear and precise information you give has helped me no end, you are perfect for newbies intermediates and pro's.
BTW after my breakdown and near disastrous event I firstly found fitness, but now fishing... and its amazing for your mindset.
Your gift to me has been your advice, and I'll keep watching and taking your advice with me.
Keep up the great work, and keep enjoying your life.
Wow. Super lovely comment, this made my day.
I feel so elite in on the early premiere! 😊 Room looks great, the prints are the best touch! Glad it is very secure too!
❤️ Hahah. So glad we finally got it done! :) Thank you!
@@fishwithcarl install a timer on your lights. because those tubes emit some UV lights and if you keep them on for a long time it will destroy plastics near them. i have lost many many things like this because in my basement i have mostly florescent tubes like this and i discovered the problem after having things fall appart in my hands.
@@fishwithcarlyou inspired me to fish thank you .
@@fishwithcarli cant find the Netherlands shipment adres. Are u not shipping to holland😢
Unfortunately since Brexit we cannot ship to the EU, we are so sorry :(
Awesome 👏 a little inspiration in every video!
Great video Carl , I love your fishing room well done you deserve it
Another great video Carl, Living in the countryside USA makes it hard to get your hands on any carp accessories, rigs, even baits at any local tackle store. One thing i definitely could utilize in my fishing right now would be a multi rod stand! I think its really cool what you do to give back to your fans. You're a great ambassador for the sport of fishing thanks for all you do mate!
Thank you so much mate 👍 Yes , for sure. It is not easy to get carp gear over there. Hopefully this changes as carp fishing continues to gain popularity :) I'm hoping! Haha
I don’t know what it is but seeing you both back together makes me happy again
haha glad to hear it. Made me happy too :)
I fished all my life (very similar to yourselves). I was inspired by my grandad who was a polish immigrant coming over during the war. Growing up my Grandad would find peace as my mum said away from the things he witnessed, fishing local lakes where we live and later on became the bailiff / managing the pegs. Some of my best memories were just sat on the bank with him - even photos I had when little was on the side of the bank with my grandad.
As I am now a parent myself, I haven't had much time to fish and the past 7 years I've brought 2 little ones into the world - William and Arthur (5 and 2) During covid with the little ones, I feel something is missing and its that stress relief of having your own personal mental time on the riverbank / lake edge that I relate to my own personal childhood.
While I want my children to learn to fish - right now I need some time and making the effort monthly to spend at least 1 day for the mental health break. I plan to bring my sons along when I get back into the flow myself. Its very selfish but with lockdown and spending so much time together we don't get a lot of personal time and its caused more issues than we realise.
The piece of tackle that would help me lots would be a new float/match rod and reel as my old one deteriorated sat in the garage which was shame - I have no clue where to look on what is best right now. My previous smaller rod Im planning to build a little setup for my son when he comes with me.
Side note to this comment - your content is superb, I found it recently while looking for inspriation to get me back into fishing and I found myself watching all your content - I watch a video a night so hurry up and make some more haha! In the vs pro video you was close to Doncaster - that is actually down the road from where I live. Im a professional photographer (12 years!) if you are ever that way again - drop me a message, ill gladly come across and take some photos for you for content!
ps my work is Aden Priest Photography if you are curious :)
Hi Carl! When you said you were younger and dreamed of having every rod, you pretty much stated how I feel now 😂. Currently I’m 14 and have 1 basic lure rod and reel. Personally I’d love to have an Ultra light lure rod! But all the good ones are wayyyy out if my budget. So, if my comment miraculously gets picked ( Lol ) I’d love a decent ultra light lure rod! Love the video btw well done!
I grew up in Hungary, where my dad took me fishing as a child, I instantly got hooked, and never really stopped. A few years ago I started Beach Fishing as I moved to the UK and some of your videos helped me massively, I just want to say Thank you for what you doing, and all the inspiration, and effort you put into making these videos. Keep up the good work.
That is awesome to hear :) thanks for sharing that, you're so welcome. All the best!
great video as always carl! keep up the great content and hope to see some of the riverfest vids (if there will be any)!
great transformation and well done to all involed in helping you renovate your tackle room! tight lines to everyone!
I like the vid Carl iv been watching you for a few years now and you helped me start fishing without your Channel I would’ve never started fishing but if there is one bit of dream tackle I would love a fully stocked tackle box as I’m always running out of stuff I’m only 15 so it’s hard for me to buy more stuff. Love the vids
I love watching all your videos, from the beginning, my daughter, Kaci has ADHD and autism and watching your videos and going fishing. Is a big part
Of that helps I’ve always wanted her to have a dream fishing rod fishing reel for carp fishing, but we just could never afford it. I wish you all the best in the future, bless you all. She’s always wanted the reels u use with the daiwa ones that have the gold spools
Day 1 of saying love u to carl until he responds
Filming yourself? What happened to your cameramen? What did I miss?🤯
Cutting costs … cost of living crisis
@@SquadG6 yeah I understand that. Really unfortunate.
That's good his cameramen are SO ANNOYING. The last 2 completely ruined his videos for me
Cal is a busy man, got his own fishing to do 🙌🏻🎣
His camera man has strted his own channel
Really satisfying watching that room get filled up! Good effort! Great video! I’ve always wanted a little spinning/dead bait set up 🎣
I would love a Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Fishing Rod. Due to having a young family i don't have much left over to afford fishing tackle. All my carp fishing tackle was handed down to me by my Grandad before he passed away. But all his tackle was from late 90's early 00's. I have never had the chance to upgrade and always feel conscious on the bank when i see everyone else with their new gear.
On a separate note i have loved your channel for the past few years. I spent most of lockdown watching all your content and it really did make me fall back in love with Fishing after a couple years not going Fishing much. Thank you for the inspiration
Wow congratulations Carl! I've only just started fishing, one day just decided to teach myself, mostly through your videos! (The knot tying videos on fishing tutorials channel are invaluable, thank you! ) I've only just started my collection, and I'd love a 2 person bivvy so I can take my 5 year old on a fishing trip, or my husband if we need to get away! Thanks for all your advice! I love your channels 😊
Still the best and been following you for years .. my 8 and 10 year old look fwd to all of us sitting down and watching your latest vid .. keep it up mate ...
Nice to see you and alex working on a project together , i had to organise my fishing gear after a invasion of vermin in the garage. Little devils chewed my bedchair sleep system ,bivvy , chair was devastated ihaving to throw them and the bags thay were in away luckily my bait was stored indoors ,now my gear is safely stored in the loft ive managed to replace everything except a chair , that would be my dream item , as i suffer with rheumatoid arthritis the choice is limited not many with high back for neck support and high legs as it affects my knees , love watching yours and alex vlogs ,
I absolutely love this channel and your fishing tutorials too. So helpful for a new angler. Your advice has been really helpful over the last 12 mi this. My dream tackle would be a carp rod/reel as I would love to catch a 20lb+ big un! Looking forward to more content, thanks Carl
Watching you 2 has been a joy and actually helped inspire me to get back into fishing, a long lost hobby I previously loved. I still use pretty basic tackle but unfortunately I am still missing a bivvy and bed chair, so dream tackle would be anything to assist me in being able to fish 24/48 hour sessions. Love your videos always look forward to the latest
Hi Carl probably a bit late but I’m 12 and I love angling and you videos. I’ve always dreamed of having a bite alarm stand with receivers so I can stay in my bivvy and ‘relax more instead of worrying about my rod and reel. I teach kids how to fish and to get into although I am young. Your videos have helped me so much and I feel bad that I’m possibly nicking equipment from you. Thanks for you hard work keep it up.
Love this video and the room looks amazing. fishing is one of my passions and I’ve learnt to fish for most my life however I fell out with it and didn’t fish for years.watching your videos has brought me back to this wonderful sport and I want to thank you for getting me back to this sport and the advice you give. my dream is a carp setup as I live near no fast flowing rivers and carp are near me (they are also my favourite fish.)
Just started watching this channel and I have to say Carl really does put out a great video. I’m into fly fishing but I’m really enjoying this !!!!
Love the room and transformation and I have most of the tackle I need but been struggling on bottom bait fishing for carp with hooks,leads etc.
Honestly iv watched you for years and both you and alex have come along way.. always sitting on the bank watching your videos 😉.. well done to the whole team
You sir are a genuine number 1 bloke. Love watching you upload new items and shows always a good watch. If I had a dream bit of kit it would be a decent rod bag I have the Sonik extractors as I try to travel small and light.
After two strokes and only 50 years young i thought my fishing days where done for and could still be I need to find a chair that will replace my seat box as it's getting harder toget comfortable and fish keep up the good work you kept my spirits up while in hospital
thank you for the fishing Tutorials helps me a lot!
You're so welcome mate, really glad the tutorials have helped!
Love your videos, they have been an inspiration to me to get back into carp fishing. A landing net, alarms or carp cradle would be so helpful.
Thank you for all the great tutorials and info on your channel. It’s been incredibly helpful as I’ve only taken up fishing since retiring. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear! Happy they've helped :) Cheers Simon
Well done Carl, your room looks awesome now! I’ve always been wanted to try night carp fishing but I’m just lacking all the gear for night fishing like bivvy bed lights and everything else I may need for one good night session! Thanks to Korda and Guru for the chance of winning one ❤️
I have loved following your channel from the very early days too now. As for tackle it makes me think what would I have needed when I started.
My three children 10 - 8 - 5yr olds are hitting the banks for the first time this summer and what I would have loved as a child starting was a nice whip and float set to learn the basics of fishing.
The three of them are studying all you videos and tutorials 😂 they can’t wait to start their into fishing 🎣 so thank you for your part in their excitement
Thank you Carl, u have made me get back into fishing. I could really do with some perch/chub lures
I’ve been sea fishing for over 25yrs and never had a beach shelter. Your videos have inspired me to start coarse fishing again later this yr
Keep up the good work
Me & my son have followed you & your bro since the start! Reminds me of me and my bro when we used to fish (best of friends!) He now has MND so he can’t fish anymore 😢.
I teach my son now along with you’re videos and he absolutely loves fishing, he goes anytime that he can. I would like to get him a bait boat to finalise his fishing kit.
It’s a shame you no longer film so much with Alex as you both make us laugh but still really enjoy watching your content.
An excellent addition to the collection of videos. Quite nostalgic really because I am so familiar with the area too. Keep up the good work. I have always wanted to be able to fish a 16 metre pole but it is always beyond my budget...
The room turned out really nice! I'd love it to finally give spinfishing a try, and any kind of rod/tackle for that would be awesome :)
Straight and forward from bottom of my heart, " Thank you to you too Carl " I ve learnt a lot from your videos from baits to tackle to how to set up tackes for various ways of fishing. Love from India 🇮🇳
Great video - I did similar in my cellar a couple of years ago for my various hobby kit, but it needs another tidy and sort out already!
I’m after a medium sized rucksack which actually had some trays or boxes that fit properly, can be accessed without taking them all out, and has a small insulated section… probably too much to hope one exists, let alone getting one for free!
Keep up the great work.
A very nice outcome of the tackle storage!
I am happy with the fishing gear I have. The only things missing are luggage items (like boxes or bags).
Amazing work Carl, and to the awesomely talented omi your art work is so extraordinary! I have fished for years and watch your channel for a long time and love the growth of it. I have met you at two shows and can honestly say you are as nice a person in person as on screen. I could only think of one thing missing from my set up and that is a marker/spod set up as I have never really incorporated it correctly. Hope to see and speak to you at many more shows to come and wish you all the best in your future competitions. Tight lines 🎣
that fishing shed is way too cool. well done carl you have come very far.
Looking awesome Carl…. You certainly do have a lot of tackle 😊
Great to see you back on here mate. Great refurb. Love it! Looking forward to the next video.
Great to see you & bro still working together. Love Omi,s artwork, great job allround!
Thanks :) :)
Myself and my son started fishing together because of your videos! We started with float fishing and feeder fishing. We have now managed to save up and get everything we need to do an overnight fish at our local waters, apart from 1 more bivvy bed and sleeping bags! Fingers crossed we manage to save and get out this year together ❤️
Its so good to see your content getting better and better. As for dream tackle i think the Korda Kaizen Platinum setup would be a dream
Hi carl i love your room not only all of us have helped you, you have helped me i have been fishing for a year now and your videos have helped alot my dream fishing tackle is a korda carp rod and a daiwa carp reel. Thanks
Thanks Carl for all the brilliant videos and tips!
I would love a 50inch landing net
Let me start off by saying thank you for the wonderful content you and Alex (in the past) have put out. It's because of your videos that I finally mustered up the initiative to pick up fishing again. I am not native to the UK and viewed it as a challenge to start fishing, finding spots and documenting where it's legal to fish, which areas are under a venue, and what areas are free. My job is particularly mentally demanding, and I never found the time or energy to document it myself. I saw it more as a chore than an adventure and relied on the fact that I could experience fishing adventures through the eyes of another. However, watching you and Alex struggle, overcome obstacles, and achieve so much over the course of many years, all accessible with a simple click, motivated me to take action. You reminded me that just getting out there and catching fish, big or small, provides joy in itself.
This year, I set aside some money and bought my second ever fishing rod and reel. I am glad to say it was the best purchase I ever made. Now, I go fishing 2-3 times per week, even if it's just for 2-3 hours after work. Most of the time, I return exhausted and with nothing to show for, but it has done wonders for my mental health. My girlfriend always says that I have a different air about me when I come back from fishing, and occasionally she joins me too. I mostly try spinning and occasionally float fishing due to the lack of time and because the rod and reel I bought are made for spinning. However, I often dream of a day when I will catch a double-figure carp or barbel.
Honestly, if my comment ends up being chosen, I would leave the choice up to you. I would ask what your most enjoyable fishing experiences are, the ones that made you feel like a child again.
P.S. I definitely related to your comment about having a bamboo cane back when I was a child. I never dreamed of owning a fishing rod and reel back then since they were considered luxury items.
Hey Carl. Firsts things first I just want to thank you for all the great content you have created. Your videos bring me so much joy as I don't get to fish much anymore due to have 4 girls at home that need there daddy. And also had some gear stolen from my shed but things are on the up and me and the family have just got a new home and I invested in a nice new shed so this video has given me some inspirations to kit mine out. My dream tackle would be a brolly system so I can get some me time this winter. Thanks again Carl😊
Great job ,giving me to many ideas ha ,I do a bit of fishing and shooting so iv no room to store anything ,but your video has given me a bit of motivation
Loving the new tackle room
Hi Carl, I also struggle with storage and this video has inspired me to sort it! So the dream bit of kit I would want is either a new holdall or rod storage system.
Hi Carl its so nice to watch your videos thank you for your different fish species chart i recieved in the post to northern ireland my dream tackle is carp fishing aswell.
And I love your videos please keep the great work up
Congratulations carl we are both a like started with 1 rod then slowly getting more and more so I feel u and brilliant job on the garage
One of my dream piece of fishing equipment is one of those chairs that has a little table on it they will help me so so much with my fishing , you are so inspirational to me and you have made me start my fishing journey 🎣
Love the content my man keep it up your a true inspiration always wanted a really good bait runner as funds won’t allow keep it up !!!
Thanks for all the videos when I started fishing I didn't know how to tie a hook but now I catch huge carp because of you. THANKS😢

Hi Carl. As a working Dad of two, I dont get fishing as much as id like. But I plan to target next year my favourite fish, Tench. Its time to beat my PB. So my dream tackle would be some decent tench gear please. Also, we have a mystery lake near where i live in Manchester. Supposed to hold big carp and tench. Ive spoken to loads of anglers (its always busy) who assure me it has big fish. But never seen one come out! I think you need to come visit and see if it will reveal its mysteries for you. Its even called secret lake on google! Thanks for your videos. They've helped me reconnect to this passion for fishing and my inner child too.
Looking very good! Keep up the good work
Thank you mate :)
I've always wanted a eazi-stik, would be so handy for fishing at range! Great video as always!
Great work guys. Just goes to show what can be achieved with the right frame of mind, and the right people around you 👍. Now the hard part is keeping it clean and tidy 😂😂.
Absolutely awsome job carl looks amazing
After getting into fishing by you and your brother I have managed to get everything I need other than a decent carp cradle and weigh sling, hopefully I can save for a decent set soon but for now my unhooking mat will do.
Keep it up mate your smashing it 💪
Wowwwww that is realllyy bigg tackle!!!
Keep on carp fishing i learnn a lot from you
I’m literally just in the process of moving into my new family home, fell in love with the mirror carp drawing by Omi, and then when you said they are available I had to order one for my new home!! Great video again buddy, look forward to hanging my print soon! 💪🏻💪🏻
This help me sorting my coarse tackle😊 thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks Carl i enjoyed your passion! It was Christmas i think i was seven or eight a new rod and reel from my parents sent me out into the cold , now sixty four years later the only thing that wiĺl tempt me out into the cold is fishing, the flame of my passion has often dimed but never gone out , winter meens Pike summer means Tench on the float so a new float rod for the job would be really great, my 12 foot is long past the age of consent possibly 40 years old , so tight lines stay safe , T S 😊
A nice selection of bait and end tackle for me and my son 😉
Hey Carl & Omi, hope your both well, great vid and love the new storage room it’s literally the stuff of dreams, I finally managed to get a perfect 2 shimano rod and reel combo this year and just need a reasonably sized carryall bag to hold my all my essential bits and bobs and currently using 2 sheep mineral feed tubs (lifeline tubs) which I get quite a look for when carrying them to my chosen swim when fishing 😂, good luck on you’re next fishing adventure and hope you’re both well
