Disc One - Fishing With The Experts For Carp:For many anglers the ultimate fish in British waters is carp. In only twenty or so years we've seen this species capture the imagination of at least a million anglers and the carp have responded to a mass influx of food by just getting bigger and bigger. In 2001 the British Carp Record was over 59lbs... the same fish has been caught again recently and now weighs a staggering 61lbs. How long can this retain the British title? The goal of most fanatical carp anglers is the capture of a 30lbs specimen in British waters in this programme we will see that other extraordinary species Des Taylor do just that....twice! Des is one of the most entertaining and informative presenters in today's angling world and certainly is one of the better journalists. He demonstrates excellently the beauty of simplicity... landing all his fish on the simplest of rigs. Des really knows his stuff and after watching him...hopefully you'll know his stuff too! In this DVD Des imparts an abundance of essential information; which if put into practice on the right fishery will definitely help you to achieve...or even exceed your angling goals. Whether you're an expert or a novice there's something here for everyone. Firstly though to wet your appetite; see the founding father of modern carping Kevin Maddocks in action at Ringstead Fisheries with a 46lbs fish and his good mate Rob Hales tackling one of over 30lbs. (Incidentally keep your eyes peeled for a couple of cracking catfish caught by fellow anglers during the same session). Enjoy the programme and tight lines!Disc Two - Fishing With The Experts For Pike:For many years fishing for pike was considered only as a seasonal option. Not now! When carp and coarse fishermen are waiting anxiously for the arrival of spring the intrepid angler in need of winter action has a serious predator to consider. In this programme we're going to join Mick Brown considered one of the best pike anglers in the UK. Mick explains the tackle he'll be using and shows us some of his massive array of artificial lures. Firstly he'll demonstrate his skills in the comparative comfort of the early summer months landing pike from a secluded estate lake. Deadbaits and exciting lure fishing are the order of the day. With the passing of the seasons we join Mick on the snow covered banks of a gravel pit in the depths of East Anglia where we learn the tactics needed to entice pike in pristine condition to take float fished or ledgered deadbaits. Then we'll move on to the river and during a blizzard...learn from Mick how to catch pike from an anchored boat using the livebait method. To finish off we briefly meet up with that other extraordinary species Des Taylor as he successfully hunts for the elusive twenty pounder! Mick Brown and then Des Taylor in the same keep net? What a catch!Disc Three - Fishing With Experts For Barbel:Pound for pound the barbel has to be the strongest fighting fish in UK freshwater. It is always a surprise and a pleasure to see the size that this particular species of river fish can grow to and to get a barbel on your line is compelling angling indeed. What better way to learn the necessary skills than from top all-round angler Des Taylor and his contemporary; none other than the four times World Coarse Angling Champion Bob Nudd MBE. In this programme we start our barbel fishing education under the guidance of Des Taylor in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside on the River Teme. Des explains where to look for your quarry what tackle to use and which baits give you the best chance of catching the much sought after barbel. We'll then move on to watch our old friend Bob Nudd MBE as he does battle on the River Wye with not only the fish but also the good old English weather. Minimize
