    There's hard-core carp anglers, and the there's Ben Mir. I carp fished around the Scottish Borders for around 10 years, and the weather alone is enough to put most off. Nothing is colder than a gale force Easterly that's come straight off the North Sea. Top film and an absolute legend!

    Absolutely excellent little film, a carp angling pal of mine used to bream fish this venue, before he got into carp fishing, we’re from the north east of England, ( and he was actually the official bream record holder ) Scottish record, caught from castle Loch ! he used to talk about the carp in there and what it was like hooking one accidentally on the bream tackle ( always snapped you up or got away) but bream wise he was the boyo for a few years. Nowadays he’s a successful carp angler. 💯🔥
