    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.
