Summary

Warning.........We start this month with a rather embarresing moment as Mark delves into his porn collection stories and how his hiding spot got rumbled by his mum during his absence in America. We soon get back on track with a dissection of Gaz and Elliotts recent underwater film series, Submerge on CYP. We discuss line angles, colour, teritorial carp, rigs and hooked ratios, a must watch and a superb series. Following on from our usual ramblings we have an epic special guest, the big carp Ninja, Matt Townend. Most will know Matt from his editorial days at Total Carp but he's also got an album of big carp that he rarely talks about. I got a chance to pick his brains on his free lining approach and talk through a vintage year that saw Matt catch some incredible Colve Valley carp to over 50lb, a serious achievement by such a humble guy and one that rarely shouts about his successes. Enjoy.

0:46.7	Yeah, my normal groove of the podcast chat.
0:48.8	But once again, you're fishing and I'm not.
0:52.0	Yeah, that's true, mate.
0:53.0	Well, you could have fished I'd give
0:54.8	the option we've come down to a syndicate lake in the Cotswolds and I couldn't
1:01.0	resist putting one rod out because we've just had the mother load of rain yesterday
1:06.6	didn't we a huge amount over a month's worth of rain in under 24 hours, which has meant a lot of the ditch lines and everything have breached and there's lots of water coming into the lake. And the lake, I've sort of got a rod out in at the moment. It's come up six inches overnight. It's a tariffy lake. So that's a significant amount of water that's come in in a very short space of time.
1:28.1	And it's coming in on a couple of areas, and I've got a rod, literally about three rod lengths out from the bank,
1:33.5	where there's a, well, it's a little waterfall now. It was raging last night.
