Been watching your videos for a while now, think they are the best fishing vids on youtube. I like your philosophy , techniques and the humour! I've been away from coarse fishing for many years, but now enjoying going again and particularly trying out the methods that I've watched you using. This video is especially good, as over the last two weeks I've been trying for surface feeding carp with mixed success. Thanks for the tips and advice, I'm sure I can improve now!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! A question: I recently went fishing in the Netherlands and we found some lake with carp constantly hovering up on the surface. After 48h of using a floatbread-montage comparable to yours, we had zero bites (whereas at home that method works just perfect for me if they hover underneath the surface). I was wondering if you had any idea why that might be – after all, at some point, the fish would need to feed, right? We had literally zero action and the fish just passing by the hook over, and over, and over again…
Ive always carp fished with feeder or waggler rods guys too. i have carp rods ive tried, but much more fun and exiting times to be had on lighter feeder/waggler tackle than carp gear. my carp gear is catching dust in my cupboard lol. regards and tight lines : karl.
Graham, you should try bills farm fishery in Solihull. It is amazing for carp and roach. I recommend 6:30 pm bread fishing because the carp become very active and come to the surface. I've caught a 13.5 lb mirror carp with bread so I suggest it for you.
what a great way to catch carp ever since I have been using this method I have had loads of carp. This is the proper way to fish. The TAfishing guys use unflavoured dog biscuits but I find if you add brown sauce to the water it works better. The pyramid bait is dynamite it works so well and I can cast it to where I want it. Thank you Graeme and Mike. (sorry if I spelt your name wrong)
Great Video as always I use a 5ft 6 pro am Shakespeare rod with an Okuma reel loaded with 6ib line and this landed me a 19ib mirror with your pyramid bait. Keep up the good work and could you please do more vids about fishing streams
A tip for you Graeme and Mike. I always carry sewing thread in my box these days in brown or black. If the carp are taking the mixer biscuits but not getting hooked. Take a 3 inch piece of thread, make it into a loop, tie the two ends to the bend in the hook, then you're left with a loop on the hook, pull the loop through a biscuit, then instead of putting a bait stop on, take the loop end and put it over the point of the hook, keep it tight and it won't come off…..if the loop is too long wrap it round the hook a few times. It normally lasts all day but as it's only thread it can rot so remember to check it regularly.
I speak english, but I don't understand a fouging word…lol
Only the poms can make fishing for carp seem uptight and regimented
Love these guys, so much enthusiasm, great tips for cheap fishing

Mikes lucky to have such a legendary dad and what an angler you are Graeme! You’re a role model sir.
At 40:03 what lake was that BTW love the videos u make
How long are the Avon rods??in ft
I'm in France catching carp and catfish you really help my fishing and I love your videos
will this work for bow fishing and the older gentleman is entertaining
Thanks for the good pyramid bait tactic now I can cast much more further than usual.
How do you stop them from spitting the bait and hook back out many thanks
Wat dog biscuits did you use ?
You guys are so enthusiastic and work brilliantly as a team. Thanks for sharing and great tips 😀
I love to come fishing with u to bet u am fun to hand with I so u haw it's done lol
This video helped Paul Wharton☺👍
nice koi
I got a 4 pound carp yesterday on a red Maggot on a float
What is the name of the floating putty stuff you used?
Ive got the same tackle
Guys you should do a comp of some sort to win a days fishing with you guys 👍👍
I like the shirts guys can these be bought if so where from

I started fishing for roach when I was five and I'm twelve now and my pb is a 24pound carp
my target for the end of the year is 30
Sometimes it's worth putting on a bubble float for some casting weight too, sometimes casting even a short distance can be tricky with only a hook.

(sorry if I spelt your name wrong)
can you use a float rod for floating baits ?
Superb vid mate!
how much water do you soak the dog biscuit in
your both the best fisherman ever keep up th good work im going in fishing Tuesday:-):-):-)
I'd of thought that the weight of that pyramid set up would weigh the bait under the surface?
what reel is it your using Graham? great video btw☺
