| Long shank hook; big pop-up |
28-Mar-09: various misc tests. Part 1 is about using strongly flavored (anise) maize on a bed of regular chum. Didn't work out too well. Part 2 is about a long shank hook (Kamazan B745, pretty bad hooks!) combined with a hair aligner rig. Didn't work well, either. Part 3 is my first test with a pop-up, but the 20mm boilie I had was too big for those fish. Finally, in Part 4, I played with two floating fake kernels of corn (unflavored), rig was critically balanced. Didn't work too well either. Wasn't my day! ;-)

| Stiff Rig |
16-Mar-09: I was using a stiff hook link (Snakebite 25lb) and a hair positioned along the hook shank (hair aligner). Then I introduced a couple of variations. At the very end, you'll find a "dancing carp" (I swear!). Visibility was quite good for once.

| Slow Motion |
I played around with slow motion (five times slower than real time) to make a new video based on material I recorded earlier this year. See also the video response from a friend.
I also extracted one video frame after another for the last run. 30 frames per second, 48 frames, so the recording lasts one second and a half, no more! Check out the Anatomy of a Run slideshow. |

| Terry's rig |
06-Mar-09: Testing again with Terry's rig & straighter hook. Carp weren't active at all where I recorded, cf. most chum dropped farther away. Very boring material!

Hinge rig &
Terry's rig
|
01-Mar-09: Testing again with regular rig + hinge (and -poor- dip) => Part 1 and 2. Then Terry's rig (hair aligner) with a straighter hook (worked much better) => Part 3. Best part wasn't properly recorded though... Aarg.

Where is Waldo?
|
16-Feb-09: Carp actively competing for food (sweet corn, maize, sweet feed). Believe it or not, I had to break a thin layer of ice to drop bait & lower the underwater camera... As to Waldo, this is a neat linear carp. We see it several times. Unedited raw material, quite fun to watch in its entirety.

Long Hair
|
13-Feb-09: Experiment with a fairly long hair and a single bait, a small Timeless Bait unflavored mini-boilie (semi-buoyant, but not enough to lift the hook off the bottom).

Delicacy

Carp enjoying a new type of chum, namely sweet feed (horse food with molasses and all sorts of good stuff).

Hooked & Hooked
|
This video directly follows the "Carp Live! Delicacy" video. After feeding them, it was time to catch them. And catch, I did... One of the most successful carp videos on YouTube.

Raw material
(sweet feed)
|
This is the unedited material corresponding to the "delicacy!" and "hooked & hooked" edited videos. This is almost entirely continuous, I just stopped the recording for a few minutes here and there when I started to catch.

Raw material
(tiger nuts)
|
A big continous raw video segment where I threw tiger nuts in the water, and observed what happened. To my amazement, they started eating it right away. But it took a long time for them to actually clean up the bottom, because they tasted & rejected the nuts many times before actually swallowing them. Sadly, the water wasn't quite clear this day (early Feb-08), so the video quality is pretty poor. As a side note, the swim was iced out, I had to break some thin ice to lower down my camera and drop the nuts!

Enjoying birdfood
|
Edith (my wife) cooked and flavored some birdfood. So we tested it. And they definitely liked it. A tad too much for one of them! This video won the Nature Vision Aquavu monthly contest for underwater videos. |
