New Carp fishing Videos

I have been making carp films recently and recording videos with my CARPdiem Team and the Dynamite Baits Angler Christian Borgesson. The first of the 3 new videos is now up on The Tube. This one gives details about the Nash Monster Cradle, how to use it, why it's better than a normal unhooking mat and how to release a fish with it. Durning filming we were lucky enough to have a run and catch an 11.5kg plus fish which made it even better. Later we had another two fish. I was lucky and managed to catch an old friend a lovely Royal Mirror of over 16kg. We made a short video with this fish wonderful carp which will come out soon. This video shows how to pick fish up and explains in Spanish why you should not lift fish up high off the ground. In the video the fish played ball and actually it does flip out of my hands. However the fish is low to the ground as it should be with the Nash Carp Cradle right below it so no damage done. You can see the first video with Christian here:

Whilst back in the UK in August. I managed to catch up with my old mate Andy Ferns and his son Harry. We went back to our old stalking grounds in Altrincham, King Georges Pool. Over 20 years ago we fished the water so the day was a walk back down memory lane. It was great to fish against all elements. We had it all, extreme winds, strong rain and the odd clear patch in which we managed to grab some video as can be seen here. Andy gives us a run through of his new vintage carp fishing gear and young Harry shows us all how it's done and catches a whopper! I hope you enjoy.

Dream Carp fishing house for Sale with Lake behind 600,000

Can you imagine yourself sitting on that patio in the photo on the right? The patio belongs to a house which has 5 bedroom, it's special house at the foot of the Madrid Sierra. If you were sat on that patio now you would be enjoying hundreds of swallows flying around you, the buzz of dragonflys and red squirrels jumping from treas in your garden. Apart from that you would have some big fish swimming just behind you. Can you imagine? Cup of tea or bottle of wine on the table, receptor poised ready for a run? Well, stop dreaming and start thinking because the house is for sale and it's an opportunity for someone who wants to buy a little carp fishing dream in Spain. Sometime ago I mentioned this house and the family I have become friendly with whilst on my carp missions. The family have this amazing house up for sale, and it's next to the best kept secret in Madrid. The best kept secret is the lake, I wont mention it's name at this time, but for me it's without question the best lake locally. I say this because of the stock of fish and there average size. I have never caught a fish smaller than 20lb from the lake and I have had two 40lb plus fish and we believe there is a 50lb commmon in the lake. Going back a month or so, I put some photos of the property on this blog. Now I have many more as you can see here. It's an impressive house with 5 bedrooms, a massive kitchen, double garages (double), a lovely garden with various trees all of which backs onto the lake. The greatest thing about the house in my mind is the lake that sits behind. This is the lake where dreams have come true for me and a few others.If any of you have read my account of my first Spanish 40lb Carp from the Jason Rider Carping Journeys then you will know something more about what this lake has inside it. However like all good things in life. There comes a time when the bubble must burst and for the sake of progression or evolution, the cat get's let out of the bag. Trust me, this one is too good, it's an absolute diamond. If your thinking of buying a house next to a lake this is a carp fishing heaven.
As far as the price goes it's up for something in the region of 600.000 euro. For a little piece of Spanish carp fishing heaven it's not bad.
