Its a beautiful relationship, a man desperate for success and money.

Preying on an audience desperate to look like they're living the best life they see on SM.

****"half witts so called anglers are falling for it"

Sitting in a £1k bivvy, catapulting out £13/kg boilies with a paid subscription to some carp channel****

Madness mate - people paying for mugs to show them how to tie a feckin rig. 300 notes of your hard earned down the swanny.

Same as all these subscribing channels - biggest bunch of two bob mugs you will ever meet, all the stories are a joke and as far from the truth as you can get. Having fished syndicates with so called celebrity heroes. I can tell you the truth. They spend 4 nights a week, every week piling in kilos of bait into a spot, sitting in a tent rotting. Thats what they do anyone who tells you any different is a lying ****.

As for the mug selling tickets to win a T5, it's the biggest ****house concept trying to bluff decent anglers that they have a chance of winning. The bloke is a feckin clown and anyone who supports him. Total Con, all of it.

Save your money and learn your craft the proper way.

I understand it's probably pretty strange to say it. But reading that entire post, not only made me laugh pretty hard. But also actually made me really proud that you are one of our customers. Weird eh.

That post needs framing.

I myself prefer the quietness away from the busy waters and surprisingly the few public lakes I’ve fished especially the one now are relatively quiet maybe 2/3 on the water in spring/summer at any one time,and then there’s the canals miles and miles of it and sometimes I’ve not seen anyone all day or even few days,I loath fishing the busy waters at £20/£30 upwards a night crammed in like sardines can’t be down with all that now it’s not angler v fish it’s angler v your neighbour

What a wonderfully put post, some of my fondest memories are of my father taking me to an estate lake as a kid and looking down off the bridge at the shadows of the carp, only dreaming one day I'd catch one.

I remember the days of my rods and alarms not matching, sat on a 7 acre gravel pit in Cambridgeshire on an August bank holiday and only 3 other anglers there, unfortunately life has moved on and not for the better.

Don't get me wrong, I've still got all my gear but I have no interest in the race and circus it's become.

I now get far more pleasure going with my kids surface fishing during the summer for fish that may scrape double figures on light gear.

But most of those things need hard work or talent. Let’s face it, carp angling today needs neither on most lakes in the UK

It’s not just angling though - it’s everything. Music, sport - most cultural stuff - all eroded in the name of capitalism. Best to find your own groove and disappear under the radar…
