Starting Night Fishing - Tips For Overnight Carp Fishing

Yo yes I needed this great timing

Rats. Rats put me off night fishing.

I’m out now on the barbel at 12:30am. Barn owl was out at dusk, had a kingfisher on my rod tip earlier, hope the barbel show up like they did last night…

Hello Carl. Been a follower for yonks, sometimes I think I recognise where you are. However, I have heard that you are filming in my area this week. Whereas I’m not going to let on where I believe you are nor am I going to stalk you. I am going to ask when you are going to release the video. I will only say you are in Milton Keynes. If you are on the lake then ok, but if you are on the river then bingo, I need as much help because I have lost so much tackle and drawn blanks, I need inspiration.

would 2 rod stands work if you dont have bank sticks?

Hi 👋🏽 I’m sorry I have stupid question because I’ve spent first time 24Hr session it was great 😊 I couldn’t believe how could i miss this out but these was an issue no sleep because of Mosquito and spiders and pliers so it was scary and I’m wondering if this is on every lake like that ? 😅

Nice one. Personally, my number one reason for fishing at night is getting “cheap” extra hours with a rig in the water. Rarely got the time (and patience…) for sitting by the lake all day

dont rap again

Would love to get out for the first time night fishing with the video at the forefront of my mind, I need to get a bivy and bed sorted

Quality video!

Liked the video Carl

It would be great if you could do a similar video on short day sessions!

Nice content, this is very helpful! I was planning to fishing at night. BTW are you the one who edits your video?

Want to try this now.
We have a local loch, I've noticed even on sunny days there are fish rising in a corner which has always been darker due to large overhanging trees.
Fly fishing is more my thing although picked up a slow feeder after watching a few posts you had.
Very informative and well worth a watch for those of us who generally stick to what we know.
A carp tent and kit will definitely cheer my wife up 😁.
Many thanks for another great post 🙏

I love night fishing at my private lake. Theres a fence around it and it's in the middle of nowhere, so it's always really really relaxed 😊

Decent video, I'd also suggest a powerbank if you're doing a full weekend, smart phone batteries don't last that long anymore

Great video. A few things learned. Will soon start night fishing.

One thing that I think is extremely important with night fishing is to have a good mental picture of what sort of snags and obstacles are around you. Stopping a carp getting into the fallen tree or lily pads in the day time is relatively easy because you know how much room you've got to play with but at night you might not realise until you feel the line grating. Just have a look before it goes dark to get the scene imprinted in your mind, if there are lilies to the left then you know if the fish starts kiting that way during the fight then you need to put the brakes on and get it turned.
The other thing is to pick your spots and be aware of how long it's going to take you to get to your rods at night (waking up + escape fart sack + boots on + find head torch + undo bivvy zips + cover distance to rods) because a carp can cover a lot of distance in that time. Even if you've not got much play on the clutch when it's on the alarms there is easily 10ft of stretch in the mono at 40yrds so if you've cast near a snag then the fish will likely be in it by the time you've picked up the rod. If you're a heavy sleeper you need to be even more aware of it and never try to fish locked up at night.

With the heat, night fishing....

Super video full of great tips. One other thing beginners might want to consider is to bring a floated weigh/retention sling to be able to photo your catch at first light.
Thanks for the continued great tutorials.

Hey
Love ur vids
Keep it up ❤

🔥🔥❤️

Hi Carl I just wanted to know what rod and reel you use for carp

May I ask you, what rods do you use? Thanks

Another great video. I've night fished for years but still enjoyed this video. Full of good advice, especially going with a friend. When you first go in the dark it's easy to freak yourself out with night time noises!😂

Another Helpful video from THE MAN

Buzzing new video watched ur brother and his freezer do u two not fish any more

Another well done informative video well done Carl and team I'm off to the river Trent for four days soon and it's always worth watching a tutorial even though I've been fishing for fifty years.

I have always wanted to get into night fishing, this helps a lot!

Quality mate, hope ur well 👌🏻🎣❤️

For real though, who liked my bars?

Great advice and enjoyable to watch as always! Thanks for sharing Mate:)

Wow thank you for the tips!
I've been planning in holidays to night fishing. Now i know what needed. :D

I do a lot of night fishing so i know everything you talk about but your videos are so entertaining I could watch you talk about a rock for an hour lol

Thanks Mr Smith... This is some really good timing... Carp fishing during the day is near impossible because of boats so I'll have to strike at night... This will help

Hey, you are still putting out videos good to see you back. I hope you put out some more soon three weeks to a month between videos is a long time

Where is the koi filtration system video???

This is what I've been waiting for!!😊

Hi Carl, can u please make a video on how to cast far and accurate in monofilament and braided fishing line.

🔥

looking to do my first overnight soon just need to buy a bivvy and bed :D great tips thankyou

Great advice. I also like to keep valuables like house and car keys, wallets, and phone cameras in a waterproof Tupperware box safe from water damage, just in case the heavens open or fall in when they are on you. Saved me once from disaster 😮 spare head tourch as well.

That ending "čau" was great😂

🤓

Love you videos ❤❤❤ big fan

All good stuff Carl ,good information for everyone new and old to night fishing.

😃
