Hopefully you get it sorted absolute shame.we lost a few carp on my old club lake 2 ,27lbers loads of doubles and a few big ghosties and silvers pike too because of otters and mink . Horrible to see half eaten carp.
I do love otters but recently they seem to decimating alot of lakes causing hundreds of thousands in damage. With practically nothing you can do except put a fence up. Sad times. Another cracking video though mate 🎣🎣
Ben put a eight or nine strand wire fence up, the key is to run it from the mains and not a battery. Also on the outside of the fence put a dozen hand sized stones in a small pile a few feet away from the fence, a otter will scent and leave scat against the stones which will tell you if they are still coming after you have put a fence up
Great video Ben ,always like the insight into your bait making and how the factory runs and that’s why I have joined the Parker baits wave 🤗shame about your fish must be gutting but least u can address it now hopefully it was just a 1 off 🤞🏻hopefully all going well I will see you guys on Sunday at show good luck for Saturday,tight lines come on the carp 🎣🎣🎣
@@Parkerbaits Ben just a quick 1 regarding the limited edition scopex flat spot is just Saturday u will be selling or will u hold any for Sunday? Kind regards Wayne
Haha christ my Mrs would love some animals like those donkeys! The one she has living with her atm is clearly not enough...🙄🤣 Good video bud...hope the otter problem gets sorted !
That mini digger down at the factory Get that down by the lake Get some posts dug out and put in then fence it off then get some cheeky Nossas in there 🎣🐟
I would buy a wildlife camera and set that up on a pir, they are relatively cheap. In fairness the issue you have is that the carp are small and an otter would need to eat a lot of flesh to sustain it. If a carp is larger you are right they would go for most nutritional bang for buck with gills then insides. That's why the bigger carp look relatively undamaged when ottered. 1st thing is the wildlife cam. Good luck Lee
Probably an otter, could also have been a mink or Somme thing like that. They really are savage and will chase fish around for ages. My dads fish farm uses electric fences around the brood ponds to combat this, might be worth a thought?
Could be either if the two.. footprints and scat is a sure sign. Again a nighttime visit with good torch. Had dealing with both in past.any help or advice I will try to help.
Hello if I was to order some baits can I have them without any dust on or source just straight out of steamer ? And defo otter I had a male on my lake back in summer and I have no other water courses near me a male will travel miles over land looking hor a mate
I just thought I would just explain than all. My carp gear and stuff were taken when I was burgled and have just. Managed to get the last pieces that I need to be. Back to we're I was just need Barrow and bait to start up fishing again which I love dealy u carnt g Beat it as uno hope to hear from u in near future thanks ttop g be blessed mates

Good Idea 💡
Good video ben 👍🔥🔥🐟
Thanks 👍

Have you not put any trail cameras up yet?
That’s really annoying mate some lakes near me have had problems before like this 😢
🤞🏼 we can get it resolved
My first guess would be mink .
They are an issue on 2 of my local waters.
Mega video as always mate , real shame about the fish no one likes to see that will you have to put a fence up?
🔥

Thanks Mate! 😋

They come straight out the Steamer delivered straight to you! ! 😃
Put bag sand on island, this way you can check the prints and work out weather it's otter or mink and take appropriate action
Get some mk4 /mk6 fenn traps mate 👍
Otters I think. Probably need the otter fence like what my membership waters have.
😊
Minx bro seen it before

Glad you are back in the game Jason! Wishing you all the best mate 🙌🏼👍🏼
What a pain otters are
Nightmare
great vid thank you oters normaly as you said eat the red gill rackers and leave the carp whole it looks like mink to me buddy no expert jmo .
Glad you enjoyed it
I no you not supposed to but buy a pellet gun any way to get rid of them unless you gonna buy an otter fence
We won't be using any guns or anything mate
I feel for you mate, put electric fence up mate doesn't have to be on mains go solar,,
👍
No wonder there’s an egg shortage 😂😉
🤣
Potter fences bro protect ur investment now befor u have nout left
Thanks!
Hi Ben how
W can I apply to be an ambasidor for parker baits down here in teeside could u have a think about this ans send me a dm even if its a no much appreciated I would send updates and pics of the fish caught I don't expect unlimited baits for free much love Jason Carter
Hi Jason, we're not taking on new ambassadors currently. Future positions will be filled by current/existing customers only 👍🏼👍🏼
just place a nature camera in the area where its going on and catch the crim
Good idea
No Fence . Gunna lose it very soon carp and lake wise. They eat everything. Bird ducks fish.
Nightmare
I do a lot of pest control around various lakes, if your interested mate free of charge 👍
This could be very handy!
@@Parkerbaits drop me a message on instagram pal 👍
Going to have to say you have a Mink problem rather than Otter,I don't see a river nearby that Otters will need to use to move around
i would agree.
Otter fence m8
Buy a 12 bore problem solved
