The Carp Fishing Podcast Mark Bryant & Mike Holly - The carp fishermans podcast

We kick off this month's podcast live on the bank as Mark attempts to catch a carp off the top, live for the podcast, while I do my best to help you all understand events with some running commentary. As we multi-task we touch on Mark's stalking tactics, bait and tackle as he has some crafty little edges up his sleeve. We've also got a great interview with Lewis Porter from Fox. Now Lewis has worked in the trade all his working life, his drive and passion for the industry has helped him tackle and progress into many roles over the years from magazine editing through to Senior Marketing positions at one of the biggest angling brands in the market. Lewis gives an honest account of life in the trade, touches on what carp motivate him before offering his first hand account of catching one of the best carp this country has ever produced, the caravan park linear. We thoroughly enjoyed recording this one, we hope you enjoy over 4 hours of carpy chat! 

It’s the 1st of the month, so once again we’re back with another episode of the Carp Fishing Podcast. This time around we delve into some of my recent fishing exploits and how a little rig tweak transformed my sessions when using 6mm pellets on the hook. We also touch on the world of moving bait consultants, loyalty, money and influencers. We’ve also got a great guest this month with Rupert Torp joining the mic. Rupert is a guy who’s been fishing for old, history carp most of his adult life and someone I always had on my radar as a future guest. It was great to catch up and delve into his time on local rivers, Horton and some historic Kent waters with carp in them far older than us. Rupert rarely shows his cards so it was lovely to delve into some of his campaigns over a cuppa and some home made brownies. Cheers Ru! Enjoy and once again thanks for the continued support and lovely reviews, onwards and upwards. 
 

This month we see the return of Robin Dix and we take a lovely trip down memory lane. We delve into Robin's time on Frensham and also Wraysbury before discussing his return to the car park lake, decades later. The car park is a venue that Robin holds dear to his heart, having caught some of it's most prized residents before they became such iconic targets for so many anglers. Robin also chats about his love affair for making his own bait and even discusses some of his old recipes that haven't changed for decades. We also delve into the impact of digital content overload and how this can sometimes impact happiness, plus we also debating the looks of the carp we love to catch and what characteristics we like to see. Enjoy.

Welcome back to the Carp Fishing Podcast. This month we have the return of one of the nicest chaps in Carp Fishing and serioulsy good angler, Mr Carp Angle himself, Joe Morgan. I've always admired Joe's honesty when we've spoken about life in the past so it was great to chew the fat once aagin on the banks of the manor, the home of the biggest fully scaled carp in the country. We delve into Joe's love affair in recent years with the St Ives complex, discuss the challenges of running Carp Angle on his own before we talk about a trip that helped him recharge after a challenging start to the year. Joe even gets a live take on tape to top off an honest insight into life and his carp finshing adventures. Me and Mark also delve into the crazy use of AI generated carp pictures and how they've even appeared on a recent bait company advert, before endng this months ramblings with a very important topic, online abuse, trolls and the impact this can have on people. 

This month, we have a great guest joining us to talk about his adventures on some of the most iconic carp waters we've ever seen.

Mike and Mark also discuss a carps sleeping habbits as well as a selection of topics seen on screen. Enjoy. 

David Lyons joins us this month to share his story about how Tackling Minds started. Dave had suffered from past mental health problems and fishing played a vital role in managing his illness. Dave has often mentioned that if it wasn't for fishing, he doesn't think he'd be here to tell this story. Tackling Minds has grown from strength to strength and gets people from all walks of life into fishing to show them the benefits of spending time outside. Dave and TM have helped hundreds of people so far with Mental Health, Addiction, Disabilities and Long term illnesses get out on the bank.
