Your approach to your fishing reminds me of an Abraham Lincoln quote - "Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend 4 hours sharpening the axe" :-)

I agree with what you say about the fact that catching carp upon seeing them usually works out. But to be fair, big quantities of carp and big fish as well as consistent catching is often achieved by spots that are baited consistently. Of course, these need to hold carp in the first place (well on a lake, on a river carp just travel almost anywhere). For instance in my parklake fishing, I noticed yes, I can catch one or two carp when I see them and catch them, let's say on an overhanging tree or something. But when you catch one or two carp in these features, it's basically over as the others spook. On the contrary, establishing a baited area (can be quite large) and fishing it with two rods on the spot has resulted in substantially larger catch-rates and bigger fish - often from quite monotonous areas, such as simply the centre of a pressured lake or something similar. Personally I do both, when I go stalking I fish more like you describe in the video fishing on showing fish, but what I do prefer is establishing baited areas over a descent period of time and then it does not really matter whether I see fish or not, I am confident enough they visit my spot again and again - when this spot is big enough you can catch multiple carp a day, depending on the stock of course, but it's not like they spook completely once you hook one fish as opposed to a small feature that holds some fish, that you stumble across whilst stalking...

This is absolutely true, but on any given day the fish might not be on your spot. Always worth have a walk round even if you spend 2 minutes in each swim.

The optical calorie explanation is simply genius

What a legend. Met Adam in the Manor Farm car park a couple of years ago. I can say this. He is as nice on screen as he is in person. ❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The force is strong with this one! Train your vision you must before subtle shows you will see.

Great video. Makes you think. I didnt catch today but i looked at the pool in a different way for next time and best of all. The only thing you're trying to sell me is free. Knowledge. Thank you.

Adam, great video. You've given more tips in this video than half of the carp KZread videos out there ever uploaded. Good work. 👍

Some would say to much info 😉😂 other anglers just dont go into this depth really at all they just want to promote their brand or favourite rig or new pop up, how ever most people won't listen to this or even understand what he's saying and will ignore it and continue to follow the fashion, turn up choose a swim 20 spombs over some gravel and job done 😂 more fool them, I've loved this series and have used alot off this previously in my own fishing take note it works 👌🏻

This is what real fishing is. The serenity of the place is what every angler enjoy the most unlike those commercial fishing trip under some bridges where you hooked the fish the moment you throw a spoon bait.

Great video Adam, I felt your pain as that floater caught fish came off....

Adam upload these to your channel pls . Can’t find a winter one either , took notes from all your others going to try what you teach and see if it makes difference , very good and becoming the only man I listen to .

Not only an immense angling ability but all the qualities of a good tutor. Heaps of respect

Penning showing the fishing fraternity how its done...again

As I’m new to carp fishing I found this invaluable. Thank you.

I always learn so much from watching your videos, information you give is always digestible and helps me with my own angling. Keep them up mate!

Adam's brilliant in this, but huge props to the folk filming and editing this one - absolutely beautifully done.

That’s one of the best Adam Penning videos I have seen, in fact probably one of the best Carp videos I have seen. So much information there about watercraft, incredible content, and great to see the highs (What a chocolate coloured common that was!) & lows (That weed footage was amazing). I have learnt so much from that, thank you Mr Penning 😁

Best film explaining watercraft I’ve seen by far.

Brilliant,the very difficult art of watercraft explained to perfection,the most I've learned via youtube in a long time . Tight lines

I always watch this the night before going fishing. Buzzing love this.

Thanks so much for this outstanding lesson. Adam is a book of knowledge..

I felt like I was having one to one tuition. Thanks Adam. Best watercraft video I've seen so far. It's true what you were saying that we spend to much time distracted not looking at the lake.

Loved this really insightful lots of little things that add up to a big difference!

Thank you Adam for another very informative vlog . I have learnt a lot and cannot wait for next vlog .

This was superb Adam. Thanks for sharing. I learned bundles

Excellent content and so informative about watercraft, one can’t help but learn

Had my eyes glued to my club lake since I arrived an hour ago after watching this and seen my first carp cruising this year in a very low stock water 🤞

Brilliant video as usual Adam very informative stuff and wot a common carp that was beautiful fish

Brilliant film. Really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much I really trying to learn water craft an you have helped loads 10/10 video 👍

Another well filmed videos lads, top work. Hugh

Seeing is believing, top advice

At last!A video full of education.Thanks Adam👍

That was brilliant thanks Adam very informative

Loved watching this series excellent as always Adam. I’ve taken so much away from these videos which I’m going to utilise in my own angling. It’s really got me thinking about the way I approach my carp fishing and i have every confidence that it is going to make a massive difference. Made me think about how much time I should actually be spending watching the water, nowhere near as much as I should. Let’s get burning those optical calories 👍

Absolutely brilliant content guys. Well done

Thanks very much, great help for someone looking to improve , like me 🎣

Cracking video Adam, thank you for sharing your knowledge!👍👌

Absolute mind of information 👍🏻

Oh and thanks Carpolgy for bringing these awesome vids masterpiece as always please bring more carpy wisdom like this .Thanks

Really enjoyed this.👍

Brilliant video ram packed with usefull watercraft info well in lads

Only 10 mins in but can you not put a GoPro on Adams head so we can see what he’s looking at, not just hearing the commentary after he’s seen the ‘show’. The film doesn’t need to be ‘David Attenborough’ quality all the time, I’d be more happy with it less cinematic if we could see what he’s seeing.

Great video. Again lots to think about here 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, as a newbie to carp fishing I'm now armed with heaps of enthusiasm!!

Decent video, simple but informative.

Really informative, thanks

Hi Adam ive stopped catching every time i'm blanking every time i'm having to break all my APPROACH down and will be using all these vids full of wise wisdom to start again look at everything i'm doing i fish small park pools and for a handful for carp so its hard going i hope i start catching again.

Having been up before first light today, noted where carp were boshing and moved my rods/bivvy to the area but failed to attract a fish, I've now just had a nap and watched this video. Excellent stuff. One question: how often in a session would you move if some fish were already in front of you but you saw others away from you?

Amazing videos full of vital information 💯🔥🔥

well dun Adam! Great!

Always enjoy the film's and take onboard what you say adam. Have been using the krill to greater effect. Thanks.

Top fella shares brilliant knowledge

Adam "Put Down Roots" Penning

Loving this channel I’m a big believer in watercraft as I guest alot and usually in and out and always check barometer readings to see what body of water the carp are holding in

@mattbirch5269

Alright mate, as far as I'm aware the lower the pressure the more comfortable it is for the carp to feed off the bottom, but say on a 20+ acre lake, where half is 4ft deep and the other is 12ft, if the air pressure was HIGH would they only be comfortable feeding of the bottom in the shallow end? I know there's never a right or wrong answer, it just depends where they are on the day I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great video Mr P

Adam. I find most carp anglers are far too noisy. Even on small waters they slam car doors, and walk right ups to the water. It's so common, sadly the fish take much longer to settle on small waters. I've watched carp swim from one end of the lake to another when anglers arrive, its crazy. Good video lots to think about Adam.

Nice video guys!

Watercraft a wonder full thing,, did mine thirty years ago at ardleigh resevoir not for carp but for the big bream all day Friday before an August bank holiday weekend and I'd got the Tuesday off aswell ,, watched spotted baited up with ground bait with my then killer mix strawberry nesquick in with brown crumb sweet corn red maggots and hemp fired in a huge amount with my catapult very early Saturday morning only just getting light had two cups of tea then sat on my seat box for what seemed an eternity catching bream from ten to thirteen pounds another bream angler lent me another keep net at the end of what was becoming pain full and tiring I'd filled to large keep nets full of double figure bream back then in the day we didn't film or picture our catches just put them all back and i thought that a do great session had a brew and a chat with the angler that lent me another keep net then had a good few hours kip awoke packed up all covered and smelly as you can imagine the other angler asked okay if i fish your swim of course i replied and drove home absolutely cream crackered but with a huge grin on my face ,, mum weren't impressed with my clothes that she duely put in the wash bless her and went off to bed and slept for well i don't know for how long,, happy days and as for watercraft Adam it is imperative was back then and still is.. Great Video by the way.

Awesome watch 👌 a 37lb beauty like that in less than 48h is a great of angling. Especially with the pressure of getting it on camera. Look forward to more vids from Adam a huge inspiration to my own fishing.

Excellent video I've caught much more carp keeping my eyes peeled.I don't set up with a tent I never can get settled in a swim.Always willing to move :) Carp not in front of you impossible to catch.

Anyone know what brand the jumper he had on at about 28min?

What the name of this lake is this members only?

What bivvy are you using in this video?

Hi could you tell me what bivvy that is. Many thanks ed

Hi m8 what bivvy is that Adam is using plz someone

Which JRC bivvy is that he is using ?

Hi all does any one know what bivvy he is using in this video? cheers

againg great watch ... mega common Adam, well done (one thing, lake fishing is so much diffrent from fishing the big continetal canals)

Best advice for carping loads of people think it's the gear the rig but that's all nonsense.Number one rule stay off your phone 🤳 at fishing :)

“Turn up and see how we get on!” That’s basically the misfortune of my angling. Most of the time I can’t derive this many clues, so adhere to “oh this swim looks nice” 🙄,

Forgotten Paths the video was about Watercraft. We didn’t see much of Adams POV through the film. I would have got more out of the film with a GoPro on Adams head doing a lap of the lake and seeing what he’s seeing and him talking ya through that thought process. I don’t need to see shots of flowers on the bank, there’s not doubting that the guys making these films can use a camera, what I wanting is more from a fishing experience. Too many carp fishing videos now what to be cinematic, I’d prefer something more edgy.

More that bloody surprised to see Adam's van registration shown. Don't CARPology know how easy it is to get info from the DVLA?

So bloody serious.

What’s with the vr headset

Thank you Adam. The art of water craft is sadly being lost to technology. Fish finders. Drones. And all that crap...

Anybody knows which sunglasses he’s wearing?

But Danny told me to buy all new kit & Bosh I’ll have a UK 50 in the net first chuck on the Gooo

Adam on your optical calories thing it isn't as silly as you think. Professional Chess players will burn up to 10,000 calories in a day at tournaments due to the intensity of thought that they're having to do for 8+ hours. What your describing is the brain burning calories through thought and intense concentration.

Where can I get those sun glasses lol

Is that a new JRC alarm I can see?

With all that watercraft how could Adam fail. Nice 30 saved his rep. I will be burning more visual calories now on. Thanks Adam best watercraft vid seen in long while. I see Dave Lane, mostly cooking, playing with his mozzy net, talking to Mozza and playing with Madeleine, when does he get the 1700 visual calories in?

You seem to be very off mate anyway all the best fae Scotland tight lines and thanks for the info.

Awesome video fxxxxxg ruined by KZread's "GREED", putting too many adverts in.

The carp will always vacate heavily weeded area's as night falls. The oxygen levels lessen in the night.
