A tiny London stream holds big carp like this!!!
Is it luck to be in the right place at the right time once again? Last year I caught one of Londons mosts sought after river carp on my first glance at the venue and this year I've done it again.This time I take a look at a tiny little London stream that I knew held carp but I can honestly say I didn't expect anything like this to show up.

My DIY pond gets it’s first Koi 👀 #koi #carp
Переглядів 4,3 тис.Місяць тому
When I started this pond build project, I had it in the back of my mind that I would be keeping carp. Something changed whilst watching countless koi pond videos, my interest in keeping koi grew and as it’s a garden pond for everyone to enjoy I thought I would add some colour. I must admit I think I’ve made the right decision as I’m over the moon with them. #youtube #watch #viral #koi #koicarp ...

London carp fishing has taken over my angling over the past few years and I've been lucky enough to catch a lot of the capitals finest and most sought after carp, This being said, in 2023 I made the decision to start exploring new waters to see if I could find some carp that are not necessarily known. This film is just the start of what I have found, we are just scratching the surface with this...
Overnight success in the depth of winter!! Biggest carp in the lake.

Carp fishing in the depths of winter can be a little overwhelming for some people, as the nights are long and the fishing can become a bit slow. I try to set myself a target each year of trying to capture a carp every month through the winter period and that seems to work for me. My fishing has been slow recently which made me have a quiet word with myself and make sure I was still making time ...

A carp fishing mission that took a lot of time and effort, in fact it was over two years worth dedication that made this campaign a success. Myself and a good friend Tom knew hardly anything about the venue, just a rumour or two that a big fish had been caught once upon a time. That was all we needed to hear to get motivated to try and catch some of these carp ourselves, what we didn’t realise ...

Carp fishing on the rivers is something that I do every year to break away from the crowds and fish for the unknown. But in this case, I knew that there was a very special fish that lived in this built up area of London and I needed to go and check out the stretch before I started to introduce bait and fish it properly. It's not often you can say you caught the biggun on a reccy that's for sure...

    Eazypod is ok for your size pond depending on what size and how many fish you intend to have. It would benefit from adding a biological filter such as a moving bed though. Just another point you ‘live bacteria’ will die off unless you add 2-3 fish as it will need the ammonia to feed on.
