Winter carp fishing is often associated with fishing bright pop ups to try to get the carps attention and catch more winter carp but I wanted to see what would happen if I fished bottom baits in the winter. Watch this carp fishing session where I compare pop ups vs bottom baits to catch winter carp and manage to land the biggest common carp in the lake!

Welldone Simon great fish buddy . All the best Del
Singles straight out the bag for winter at showing fish for me,never easy in winter m8 you can’t catch them at home,great fish m8
Personally would of fished a Ronnie as the pop up rig.
Pop ups catch the angler, bottom baits catch the fish
You moved to a mono hair over the D now mate?
Modern carp fishing is dominated by bright pop ups , & not just in the winter. Think we are missing a trick not going back to straight bottom baits out of the bag, myself included.
I guess it depends on the venue
Nice catch Simon, I admire your water craft 👌
If your fishing the margin on the far bank.. why wouldn't you fish the margin next to you..?
Good work Simon. Lovely common that, especially in the winter. 👍 Phil.
I use bottom baits, or snowmen all year round. And i only use a pop up when i can't present a bottom bait. Nice result though Si.
You put the rods back onto the far margin you say. How come the camera then shows your lines clearly running left from the left rod and right from the right rod??!!
The result could have nothing to do with a pop up vs bottom bait, could be purely down to colour. Could have made both bright baits or both natural/drab to get a fair result
Great video shame we missed the fight maybe you need a go pro strapped to your chest so you don’t miss in future 😉
