Korda Say
Part 6 of State of the Art Underwater Carp Fishing was filmed back to back with Part 5 and details the ongoing session on the now famous ‘clear patch’ at Wellington Country Park.

Because the fishing is in full flow and the carp have already been fed on the spot for over a week the action is instant, bites come from the first few minutes and Messrs Fairbrass and Clarke suffer the traditional ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ of big carp angling in front of the cameras.

This film is concerned almost exclusively with ‘Boilie Fishing’ which many followers of the series have been asking for. Many new rigs are used, including Stiff Rigs, The Long Hair, D Rigs, The Chod Rig and The Drop Off Inline. As such the film boasts new underwater footage which will leave you both inspired to try new things and perplexed at what to try next!


Underwater Carp Fishing Part 6, two DVD set

In a totally new ‘twist’ Danny invites top anglers Nick Helleur and Steve Fantuzzi to survey the scene on the underwater camera’s and design a rig to suit. Their respective styles of fishing are ‘distinct’ from Danny’s which adds a whole new dimension to the film.

Danny says ‘…You can see instantly that we are in full swing the moment the film starts, and those big Wellington 30’s are hungry and ready to outsmart us – or so they think! This film ‘flows’ more than any other with new rigs, plenty of bites, special guests, stand up rows in the swim and an average weight of 29lb’s! So sit back, get your note pad and pen and be prepared to add another dimension to your angling. Part 6 cannot fail to put extra fish on the bank for you!’

FishingMagic Verdict

Five parts and 10 disks later from Part 1 and I still enjoy watching these DVD’s. As much as anything it’s that feeling that you’re spying on something (which we are!). It’s the same winning formula – stick a camera on the lake bed, feed the area in front of it, introduce baits on various rigs, and watch what happens. Sounds simple enough but it must take a lot of setting up and there must be hours spent when nothing happens. The cutting room floor makes sure we don’t see the boring bits.

This time round the action centres around boilie fishing and we have one or two guest experts, along with the usual presenter, Danny Fairbrass, to analyse the action and to try some of their own rigs.

In spite of seeing hours of footage of carp mainly ignoring hookbaits, it’s still exciting wondering if one of the carp, especially the big one, will pick up the hookbait and run with it – much like fishing really!
