Cape Carp Hunters

Update time, I have unfortunately been dealing with quite a bit of medical issues in the last few months. I'm healing slowly but surely, when I'm back on my feet I will continue my fishing pursuit.
Good news though, I acquired access to a range of family owned farms with ancient waters on them, hold thumbs for me please 🙏🙏🙏

Very informative video and quite funny as well😂

As I wait for October to roll in I've been on a bit of a refresher concerning all things carpy. I've decided to share whatever has helped me so far to get a better understanding of what we are doing and how to do it better.
I personally don't carry carp cradles and tripods around and use a simpler setup but the fish safety tips are very useful to keep looking into over the years as we learn more.

Here's how to handle a carp out of the water, how to hold it safely for the camera and how to treat its wounds and return it safely to the lake. ✅ Watch next...

I remember mono hairs being very fiddly, I tried tying this at home this weekend using a small heli bead instead and it really does make the hooking effect more aggressive!

Here’s why the (modernised) knotless knot is still the best all round carp rig 🙋‍♂️ Struggling to tie your own rigs? This one's for you: https://youtu.be/7V...

Time to get this page going again. I think a little explanation is needed as well. This page was initially created purely out of my love for specimen fishing. It was supposed to be casual thing and I would post as I fished. But then 2020 happened and I lost my business which meant no more fishing - it gets expensive when you become obsessed.
Now in 2023 I see this page keeps growing and I'm feeling a bit guilty.
I'm gearing up to hit the water soon and I will be posting some more vids of guys I follow to hopefully help a few guys and girls dealing with not landing any big fish.
I'm no expert either! I'm just head over heels in love with landing big carp!
