Fishing UK for 21 Days (PART 1) Carp, Shark, Conger Eel, Coarse & Sea Angling.

I'm so bored. I'm so bored. I'm so bored. Hey guys you bored? How about we go on a plane and fly to the UK and go fishing. Well here we go guys we're doing another adventure we're heading to the UK for three weeks. We're gonna be hitting England, Scotland fishing saltwater, freshwater, carp, sharks, eels, catfish. It's gonna be an adventure. Are you holding Jacob? Well guys we made it we're in London we met up with my sister Melanie here who's gonna be joining us on our trip and we're gonna get the rental car and I'm gonna see if I can remember how to drive on the left side of the road. Alright guys we decided to get a little fancy and I rented a Mercedes-Benz. It holds nine passengers and all their luggage. This thing's a beast. Alright oh this looks so weird guys. Alright we're doing this and this is this is the gear shift? Okay I haven't slept in a while but this whole left hand side of the thing has got me so freaked out it's keeping me wide awake. Okay so I think I found the British equivalent of IHOP to go to breakfast at. We're gonna see if we can't get there without dying. These are the most teeny tiny parking spots. Okay I've got myself a proper English breakfast here. Stewed tomatoes, beans, eggs, bangers, potatoes. Oh I'm looking forward to this. If you can't get sleep food is a nice alternative. Alright we're leaving London. We're heading west to the county of Devon to a village called Chumlee I think is the name. And it's about three hours and 20 minutes west of us. We just drove through the birthplace of Jane Austen. Alright we pulled over to get some snacks because I'm running on 24 hours with no sleep and we've got a bunch of pineapple Fanta and we've got Jaffa cakes and gummy caterpillars. Alright guys here we go. Driving to the cottage I look up and hey look there's Stonehenge on the side of the highway. Just chillin' on the side of the highway. Yeah that's cool and all but I've been to Foamhenge. Oh well we left our house 20 hours ago and we're finally here. This is pretty cool. Let me show you this place. It's the Riverside Cottage at the Park Mills Farm. It's converted barn. This place is just gorgeous and charming and it's got its own private carp fishing lake and a fly-fishing creek right here on the property that we can access as much as we want. Oh that is way cool. Oh this is awesome. Nice little kitchen. So this is the master bedroom right here. Look at this and hey Becca check this out. We go right out here and right there is the lake right through the trees and look at this fly-fishing creek with some native trout in there. Look at this back deck. You know a place we can build a fire. Out of all the wonderful features about this cottage one of my favorite is that the owner made us some fresh scones and left them on the table. Look at those beauties. This is like the keys to Hogwarts Castle here. Look at those cool. While the boys have some fun and everyone gets situated I'm gonna run to the grocery store and get provisions for the week. I'm on my way to the grocery store and I've had a little bit of a breakdown. Apparently this Mercedes-Benz needs something called AdBlue and it ran out of it and so now the car will only drive 12 miles per hour and it will shut off unless it gets some AdBlue in the next 24 miles so I'm gonna spend an hour driving 12 miles per hour to get to the nearest gas station to go buy some AdBlue to put it into the car to hopefully get it working. These very nice people here have given me a ride and I went and bought a whole bunch of this AdBlue stuff and I think I think we just might get this car to go over 12 miles per hour yet. Well thanks to my new friends here we got AdBlue in the car we're up and running and things seem to be working. Those two people spent a good 45 minutes an hour driving me around getting that AdBlue and helping me out man just absolute wonderful people here. Let's go get some groceries it's gonna be a long week and we're gonna want some good food. Look at this pork and pickle pie and scotch eggs. Well we're finally here settled in and got the kids to bed I'm gonna go over here check out this lake. Look at this pond it's absolutely picturesque. When I think of British carp fishing ponds this is this is what I think of. Oh man this fishing's got me so excited but it's too late tonight so I'm gonna get to sleep and we'll see you guys in the morning. It's our first full day in the UK and we're excited. This is the best day I've ever seen. Sleep on the trip. A lot of places with private lakes they'll do day tickets where you can pay to come and fish. Here you can only fish it if you rent one of the cottages so it gets very little fishing pressure. Look at this pond there's carp in here. Oh right there I can see a big pile of mud being kicked up right there. Hey Tom look down here. I am really excited to go fish that pond and stream it just looks so gorgeous and I'm gonna be doing a lot of filming over there. All right we're here. It's time to go to church but we're not gonna vlog that. We got done with church and my absolute favorite part is there's cows right outside the window while we're in church. Pretty awesome. Pretty cows. We're not doing a ton of stuff today I'm not really going fishing or anything just kind of trying to keep it low-key and spend time with the family so we're out on a road trip and I've got some off-brand Jammie Dodgers and some pork pies and we're just gonna cruise around and enjoy the countryside. We're here at Exmoor National Park and we're just gonna take a little walk to something called the Tar Steps which is like a little bridge across the river or something. Jacob you having fun? No? Well there we go this is the Tar Steps. Man there's a lot to see here other than just big cities. Well Becca's leg is still not 100% so I'm gonna get the car and drive down and pick her up. Well that was a fun drive but we gotta get these kids to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning. We're doing some fishing tomorrow. Well good morning and welcome to a beautiful day. I woke up with a little bit of light coming through the window and I had no clue what time it was but it was like Christmas morning I was too excited and I am determined to pull a carp out here before breakfast. There's fish jumping all over the place. Now if you want to know more about what I'm doing which gear I'm using and how I fish this spot and a lot more footage of the fishing I'm gonna be posting a video on my other channel the Catfishing Carp YouTube channel of just about fishing this pond so I'll put a link in the description to that. A carp came up and just started feeding right there. I swear he wasn't 10 inches from the shore. Well I've been fishing here for a couple hours gotten tons of bites but nothing's really hooked up but that's okay I've got a whole week here so I'm taking it easy. Here we got bacon and sausage and toast and beans and oh yeah I've been looking forward to this. Every sausage should be showed like this. This is awesome. Well there we go guys a proper English breakfast oh I'm so hungry. Well we had a lovely but slow morning and now we're gonna go out and about and do a little shopping and maybe do a little sightseeing as well. We stopped to get gas I picked up some snacks gummy eggs gummy hearts gummy bears and gummy cola bottles. All right we're here at Sidmouth it which appears to be the home of a massive folk festival so it's crawling people but we found parking we get out and we'll get back at some painting stuff. Did you get your smart stuff babe? Awesome. Now me and Becca have a tradition that every time we go to a foreign country we try to buy a kids book from that country so we're gonna go see if we can't find a nice British kids book here. Hey bud what'd you get? I got this. Dog Man Unleashed. There we go. Sidmouth Folk Festival is going on. Well that little parade's jammed up the road so while we wait we're gonna be very American and eat our food in the car. What is that? Apple pork Cornish pasty. Very nice. Yeah we're driving through a river. Well we spent most of the day driving around and seeing sights but we want to catch some fish so we're gonna go hit the pond again. Beautiful stocky little British common carp. Caught on some bread right on the surface but I just watched him suck it up just 10-12 feet from me. And he's released. Good job Tommy. Well it's the end of my first full fishing day here in the UK and I'm sitting here eating a samosa and some tikka masala after having landed a few carp and just had a ball but I'll see you guys in the morning. Good morning and once again I find myself up at 5 a.m. This time I'm going down to Newquay to go out of the harbour to go shark fishing on a charter. Unfortunately it's supposed to be rough seas so Nathan and Tommy aren't coming with me but we're gonna go see what happens. Pretty town. There's our boat the Atlantis. It's about to take us out into the Atlantic Ocean to go fishing for sharks. How are ya? I am doing well. We've left Newquay and we're headed out about 10 full miles offshore. That was a good start. Now I feel better. You feel better? Yeah I feel better. There we go. We get these in Alaska. This is what they make artificial crab out of. Well we caught the crab out of the mackerel and got a bunch of pullets but the sharks were just a bit too finicky today. We're gonna get back to the harbour and we're gonna clean up those pullets and I'm gonna make some fish and chips. All right see you then. Check it out this place is gorgeous man. Look at the seals down there. Some gals crabbing. This is pretty cool. So check it out this is why they dropped me off at that other location. You can see the harbour's high and dry now. That's where his boat was parked. Well I finally made it home and my stomach wanted a breakfast do-over so I'm eating some cereal with raspberries with my little ombre Jacob and it's good to be home. Strawberry toast and bacon sandwich. Breakfast of champions. We're ready to leave and Nathan ran out naked screaming that he wanted to come too so we got him dressed and get him buckled. Nathan's along for the ride. All right guys we're here at Cone Valley Angling and we're gonna go see if we can't pick up some some gear here. There's the phrase kid in the candy store comes to mind here. Holy mackerel look at all these baits. Yeah you like that? Yeah I love being in these stores. Unfortunately I can't be here too long because Tommy and Nathan are gonna burn the place down if I stay here too long. Hi. My children are monsters. Oh they are so wiggly. You like those? All right guys we're gonna do a little sightseeing. We're gonna go hit an old manor house and a museum and just go for a little road trip. What we're doing it this is kind of Melanie's thing so where are we going to some manor house? Yeah a big old manor house that also happens to house the National Carriage Museum. My sister is a novelist and writes Bonnet Smut which is period romance and she's doing research. What are you doing? I was mask fogging. There's a pond over there. Let's go. We're gonna see if there's any fish in it. Look at that water. I wonder if they'll eat goose poop. They're eating it. Isn't that crazy? Look how black that water is. What's in here? That's one of the first selfie sticks ever invented. It's a camera on a tripod. Hi guys. Look at that. Smile. Say cheese. In the front door, sneak out the back. That's how we roll. Alright guys, let's go over to the tea garden. We're gonna get a little bit of scone or something. Hey Nathan, you hungry? Yes. Alright. So we got wild elderflower bubbly and rhubarb crush. Then we got some strawberry jam and clotted cream. My hat's getting wet. You're getting wet. Try this. Just take a bite. You like that? Ooh, carriage museum. It's very exciting. Ooh, look. A traveling booth. Yeah, look at that side there. Now we're gonna go hit a bakery. You guys excited? You hungry? On the way back to the farm, we stopped in Barnstable to get a Cornish hot pocket. Also known as a Cornish pasty here. This one's meat and potato. It's good. Alright, we just got done with sightseeing and I'm back here at the pond. I'm gonna try to pull a few fish out. Oh, he came up and stared at me. There we go. Look at that beautiful little common. Under! But I think that's called a rud right there. Go for it. Put him back in. Oh, look. He got one. Oh, that's a nice one. He caught a big fish. Oh, it's pooping. It's gone doo-doo. Look at that. Isn't that nice? Yeah. Can I put him back in? Okay, yeah. Go for it. Put him back in. Alright, guys. We're back at the house. I got a bag full of fresh pollock. We're gonna make some fish and chips. If you want to know the recipe with all the details, I'll put it in the video description. Oh, my. Thank you. How's the fish? It's good. Oh. That is hot. Well, good morning, everybody. And once again, I'm headed to Newquay Harbor. And this time, I'm pronouncing it a little bit better. I'm gonna go meet Matt, and we're gonna go have another crack at some reef fish and some shark. See what happens. Well, I'm just a few minutes outside of Newquay and I'm stuck behind a horse traffic jam. Newquay's this lovely little beach town on palm trees and sunshine and cliffs and beaches. Good morning. How are we doing? I'm doing great. Good, good, good. Oh, it looks wonderful. This is Lawrence. Hi, Lawrence. There we go. There we go. Got the anchor dropping. Alright, we just anchored up near a wreck and we're gonna be targeting conger eel, which are these massive eels that live in the ocean around England. There we go. There's definitely something wiggly on the end of this. That's quite a pull on that thing. It ain't screwing around. Oh my goodness, like a scene out of Princess Bride there. Look at that. That is so cool. Well, there we go. My very first conger eel. There we go. There we go. Angry, angry looking shark. Look at those teeth. I don't think I've ever had a fish want a piece of me as badly as this guy. You can just see him straining with everything he's got to turn around and get your bite you somewhere. Fish, that's a brain. Look at that. There we go. That's my first sea bream. It's a black bream. Look at that. Just put him back. There you go, buddy. Well, it started to rain and it's pretty close to the end of the day anyway. So I think it's time we're reeling it up, I'm gonna call it. Well guys, I had a great time.

I am wet and hungry though. We gotta get all the way back up to Devon. And if I'm lucky, I might get to do some carp fishing tonight. This city is absolutely beautiful. This harbor is amazing. I would love to come back here and just fish the key and have Becca paint. Grabbing some food at the grocery store and I've got some sort of kebab wrapped in flatbread and a pork pie. So there we go, man. Dinner of champions. Not bad. Hi, Jacob. Hi. We've got one last night here at the cottage and we want to catch a carp, don't we? Yes, I even want to Big carp. Put your hands under it. You know how to do it. What do you think? Is that cool? Yeah, that's even bigger. Mom's going to be so proud of me. There he goes. Well, Tommy, did you have a good time fishing? Yeah. Have you had fun at this cabin? Totally. Yeah, but we're going to have really fun at the next place we go. Yeah, I'm sure we will.
