Welcome to the Thinking Tackle podcast.

If you like this show, then please subscribe and leave a review.

On the podcast today, we have two anglers who are experts in their own fields of cart fishing,

and that's why they make their perfect pairing for the thinking tackle series.

Recently a new program with the pair has been released which doesn't disappoint.

Their latest episode filmed during the autumn is packed with carpiness and features a fish of

over 40 pounds. With these two together you're always sure to learn a thing or two.

So the podcast welcomes Mark Bryant and Simon Scott.

Then, soon as that was announced, and I think it was on the Monday, it was announced, wasn't it?

On the Wednesday that people were allowed to go

fishing which i thought was quite irresponsible from a a fishery point of view because i one fisher is

and i had to close swims to get them ready and it was literally had three days to react to it and uh

not only was really busy for the fishing lakes but also the the orders online just went quadrupled overnight

and just become a real it was like wow this is it's great to have the orders there but you know

trying to service all the customers yeah how quickly can you get the orders out usually we're on like a two

sometimes next day depending on the product um but usually it's two to three days depending on what they've ordered but we're very very quick usually but this just sort of when you get an influx of hundreds of orders you just want that is mental isn't it back foot straight away and like you say I mean it wasn't until sort of mid-May when the lakes were open was it it was around that sort of time wasn't it trying to think of the actual now I can't remember when it was but yeah it was just see the pictures outside far those that yeah oh that's incredible yeah it's weird because it was it was only sort of a short period where people weren't allowed to do something but as soon as they were allowed it come back with a vengeance And I think because a lot of people were furloughed,

they had a, I suppose, a lot of disposable money.

All they wanted to do was get out on the bank and do some fishing.

Yeah, it was like a perfect storm for us, which was great, but it's a great problem, but a problem all the same. Yeah. I'm a lad I met in your car park a few weeks back and he's like, I'm furloughed.

I'm fishing three or four nights a week with my son.

The best I normally only go once or twice a year.
