Great video as ever. So what is your winter boilie of choice please? I'm a single bait winter guy. My feeling is far too much bait has gone in the lakes this year with everybody fishing during lock down, its not made for a good year, many saying catch rates are down on their lakes. I still see heavy spods and over loaded bait boats being used in winter months. Fisheries should ban them during this period to reduce the amount of grub available to the carp. Just my opinion and thoughts.
Old/dieing back weeds are great because what feeds off decaying plant matter? Snails and critters, what do carp like to eat? Cast a hair rigged snail/slug, or a few worms over to some old weeds ;)
I fish exactly the same in winter as I do in summer, which is at complete variance to Iain's advice in almost all aspects. But I suppose that's what makes fishing interesting! 🙂🎣 By the way, I also fished the Army lake back in the day. Best of luck everyone out there, and above all remain warm and enjoy the winter months. 🙂🎣 One last point, fish can be caught in any depths of water year round...but I tend to target very big carp on all types of waters in winter, and the one major factor I've learnt is that they tend to spend a great deal of their time in very deep water, often at extreme depths. So that's where I am very confident to place my rigs during the most severe weather conditions.
@@jackmountain6125 I used to think the same as others back in 60's and 70's, but when I began fishing the very deep water as much as the shallows, my catches of giant fish soared. I've caught thousands of carp in the 50ft - 100ft deeps. The 60ft deep zone seems to be a very good winter feeding zone on many waters. But it all depends of course on many other aspects plus watercraft, and above all confidence. In shallower lakes and rivers I still search out deep zones, so if it has 25ft or 30ft or 45ft trenches, gulley's and holes, then that's where I'll search. Also search out the routes between deep zones, such as the steep slopes and ledges at 10m, 15m and 20m. Big carp will also move into these same deep zones during prolonged heatwaves of summer.
I've always found pickled eggs to be the most prolific hookbaits during the winter months. I'm not entirely sure why but imagine the salty, sweet, and acidic flavours to be a powerful combination that makes them addictive high-protein snacks.
@@Matto8827 It freezes on the top because it's literally colder on the top, it's closest to the air which is what cools the water and when it hits freezing temperatures it starts from the top down. Where as the deeper water is further away and contains the heat better. I have koi in a pond and they spend the entire winter hugging the bottom because it's warmer at the bottom.
@@TobaxSkosto I even googled it and it’s def colder at the bottom as less light penetrates through the deeper you go. I think the reason the top freezes is because the top 10mm of water is colder from air temp🤷🏻♂️ but I know what you mean I seen koi sat at the bottom in the winter but maybe that’s where they sort of hybinate🤔 god knows but I find it a bit confusing 🤣
Great video as always, ive recently seen a nice carp in my old park lake...nobody fishes it and the park has gone its only about 3/4 of an acre 3-7ft deep i think they must be a few carp in there, what do you think would be the best approach without spooking them too much i was thinking of putting a bed of bait down for a week or 2 before i go but thats something i never do so its putting me off lol. the lake also has an inlet and outlet at opposite ends. cheers
if it's dirty water coming out the inlet that could entice them to enter it in search of food so worth a try there. I'd probably try get down on a sunny day (if you get one) just take a walk around and see if you can spot them and target them or just a light scattering of bait near the area and target at a later day as a start point. If you can't commit to a baiting plan
Yeah chilly, was taking everything you was saying as gospel till you said the coldest part is the water is the bottom, this is completely situational and not fact. at night or on freezing days, the coldest is the surface. that's why it freezes. when its hot and the sun beats on the surface, then the bottom will be cooler. thought someone with such experience would realise this.
exactly this. with modern technology this can also be very well verified with fish finders and in a more old school way if you own your own clear fish pond. on a cold calm winter day the fish will sit near if not on the bottom often at the deepest place often together. on a very sunny day they may seek shallower water where the surface has been warmed by the sun and on a hot windy day sometimes the undertow of that warm water away from the direction of the prevailing wind.
Totally agree with you👍You old #Crazy🤪Canucks You! ☝️All be safe ladies&gentlemen & you Youngin’s, please keep an 👁 out for older generation🆗 and remember those 3📏📏📏.
Ian is your video of you fishing stenhill fishery available anywhere? I’m visiting at the beginning of November. I was trying to watch it but it has been removed I think…
The thing Ian said about cold water isn't really right. Water has its highest density at 4°C, not when it's at its coldest. So if the surface water is below 4°, then the warmest water will be at the bottom. If the surface water is above 4° the coldest water will be at the bottom. This is why ice floats. 😉
I'm surprised how many lads I see out on the bank this time of year in their snazzy trainers wondering why they are cold slipping everywhere(including my lad) think they watch to many clips on RUclips where they focus on their trainers more than actual fishing!!
If the waters colder at the bottom why doesn’t the lake freeze solid from bottom to top , he’s wrong .. it’s just the surface coz it’s colder , then the lid warms the water under it also
I can assure you after diving lakes and pits in the winter it certainly does get colder the deeper you go some lakes be 8 or 9 at the surface dropping to as low as 2 or 3 at the bottom and its the air temp that causes the lid
www.vias.org/kas/en/water_anomaly.html "Anomaly of Water", I thought this was common sense. => he is right, and wrong, not under every circumstance the water at the bottom is colder than higher up. He is right while temperatures are sinking (late fall/early winter)
I've always found this to be the case in winter but I've dived mostly gravel pits ranging from 10 feet to 250 ft deep rather than shallow lakes under 5 of 6 feet but is amazing to see how close to the surface you will find fish in the freezing temperatures and the way they react to thermalclimes
I started bowfishing these dinosaurs in the summer and I am absolutely addicted to it. I never angled for them, only used my bow. Check out the video I made on my channel bowfishing one of these beauties.
#DaleHatt I heard that as well..!! . “That They were a load of Rubbish”....🤭 Heh Dale!🤫 sssh! You must be so thankful for Sir Chilly representing The 🇬🇧Army & Carp Fishing 😉 🤣🤪🤣
Great to see you looking so good chilly legend.
What a legend Ian is , have to listen and learn to what he is saying . Keep safe and keep catching .🎣🎣🎣😀😀😀
How can anyone not take note and listen to an old school legend, the likes of Sir Chilly are rare now...
Love your blogs, from one vet to an other keep them going mate.
Everything we need to know is said by the legend chilli . Thank you for this video . Makes so much sense.
Good to see back at it chilly, tight lines bud
Great video as ever.

Yeah it's been dead mate, carp fishing on normal waters died a death in winter this year.
Good stuff. Nice to see you looking well Ian.
Listen and learn people. Proper solid advice in this. Thanks Chilly!
Great advice from Chilly as usual. Keep up the good work...
Yet more cracking advice from Ian! 😄

Brilliant...thanks for your sensible no frills approach to our hobby ...
Nice vid dude! I can only go ice fishing on my channel cause Minnesota is 🥶
You've missed out on the couple of stellars to keep the cold out Ian!!! Hope your all good mate
Very true its where you put that rig n not rig its self keeping it simple 👌 well done chilli 👏
What good advice from a true legend
Fishing is fun

Off out tomorrow with my lads with there new kit from Santa. Sweet corn and tutti frutti leftovers mix see how we go
Always enjoy listening to chilly .. he mentioned ssc hooks which I’m a fan of .. are these not gone or are they still around please ?
A Great Vlog from a Great Fella 😉👍👍
I’ve watched tons of winter fishing videos all with valid points but this was spot on
Solid advice..
Always a good watch when the bigman is fishing or giving advice stay safe chilly 🎣🐟👊👊🔥🔥🔥

How deep have you caught carp mate? I'm fishing a lake that is 15 Meters deep but fish haven't been caught over 10 Meters, thanks

I have seen a lovely lake on the camberly barracks from the lorry 🚛

I’m going to give them ago on river bet chubbly 😊
Love your blogs keep them going
i like this guy, i was gonna pack up the gear today but screw it and sorry wife im back in the game hahahaha
Awsome info there thankyou
Thanks Ian, Great advice no Bullshit.
Nice tips ✌🏻🎣
Fishing is fun
Have a good Autunm chilly all Good things those wait. For that happen
Great video mate 🎯
Awesome 👍
Cold water sinks until 4 degrees Celsius. After that it rises and that’s why water freezes at the surface first
Great advice as always Chilly .
The coldest part of the lake is the surface, that's why it freezes on top and not below.
The bottoms the coldest mate I know what your saying and I don’t understand why it freezes on the top but the deeper you go the colder it gets
@@Matto8827 It freezes on the top because it's literally colder on the top, it's closest to the air which is what cools the water and when it hits freezing temperatures it starts from the top down. Where as the deeper water is further away and contains the heat better.

@@Matto8827during winter the warmest part of the lake is the bottom. During summer and spring and fall it’s a different story

the bottom of the water is the warmest during winter

Absolute legend 👌👍

You are a live legend.👏🎣
Awesome buddy.. you no your stuff ..
What do you think about korda GOO?
Chilly for PM! Boris out 👍🏼😂
Dear RUclips, please knock off all Carp fishing videos without Chilly in them. The guy just talks sense.
The thing Ian said about cold water isn't really right. Water has its highest density at 4°C, not when it's at its coldest.
So if the surface water is below 4°, then the warmest water will be at the bottom. If the surface water is above 4° the coldest water will be at the bottom. This is why ice floats. 😉
It’s a shame that some thought more maggots would mean more bites in the winter, when it only takes a handful.
I’m gonna buy a barometer today
Got a 10 week mini winter campaign going on my Channel at moment. Follow it weekly with uploads to see how it pans out :)
How would I go about applying for a media production position ? I am a videographer looking to get into this field to create content.
Many thanks
Cheap baileys or jager works well and in bait 🤣
Make sure you have the right clothing to keep warm or you will fail before you start and just be cold and miserable and want to go home
I'm surprised how many lads I see out on the bank this time of year in their snazzy trainers wondering why they are cold slipping everywhere(including my lad) think they watch to many clips on RUclips where they focus on their trainers more than actual fishing!!
#peteriddy Let them learn the hard way buddy 😉
Remember we know nothing about nothing 😁😁😁
Oldies are the best ,why ..Because they've been doing it a VERY long time and know the end result.😉

Only guy in the Army fishing for carp but the Army bought a load of lakes?? 🤔
Personally never had time myself 😂
So basically throw £300 of boilies in the area.....
#MarkWiffen You sound like an expert mate! 👌
Go on tell me, Be are secret 🤫 you’ve done that many a time before ain’t you?.
