Any others joined up yet? I must say, think Darrell's pulled a blinder releasing this on New Years Day when some sore heads will pay anything to cheer themselves up.

For the price of a magazine a month it gets a thumbs up from me. Decent viewing

A few of these paid subscription online Magazine type
programs are starting to crop up. Carp TV morphing into Cypography was the first. I believe Leon Bartroop has something similar on youtube. Dave lane on patreone. And now Daryl Peck with his Carpfix. Let's hope theres a market out there for all of them. With the amount of free content out there it's going to be difficult. They are probably working on the assumption that people once paid £15 a month for a few magazines why not the same for a few online vid subscriptions.

Some people moan about these but each to their own, if you don't want to pay or watch it then don't bother with it and don't bother moaning.
I watch the Dave Lane Inner circle myself after watching all the vids during lockdown, he is a good storyteller and I don't begrudge the £6 a month to watch it.

Amen to that. Got to say, now I've watched all of it, Darrell's new venture is very good. Quality of the video's couldn't really be better.

I was a Cypography subscriber, which was also great, but one of these is enough money a month for me. With so many now venturing into the market I'll be interested to see which emerge as the best.

All very true.

I'm also a Cypography subscriber but the only thing I don't like is they never do any technical stuff like the rig video Darrell has done already.

I mean who doesn't love a rig tutorial ?

Yes I must say I consider myself pretty experienced, I have my rigs and I would rarely find myself tinkering with them. However, that rig Darrell's showing looks very tidy and his tutorial is so precise (measurements of lengths of shrink tube and stripped sections of braid etc). I could definitely see myself sitting down and tying one up exactly to his spec.

As I've said, it's a thumbs up from me.

This is definitely worth the subscription just to hear Peckys uncle Jim impression on the fen Drayton story

I signed up for all of them as they appeared, sure I will cull the ones that don't resonate, can only watch so much stuff. Dave Lane is such a good story teller he is top for me right now, Leon is trying to put out educational stuff and has a growing supporter tribe. Cypography.. I pick and choose what I watch, Samir and Claire are my go-tos there.... and then there is Joes Carp Angle.
You pays your money.......

Is that Uncle, Jim Shelly by any chance?

Oi oi sailor boy, I tough you were a decent angler, not a f..king noddy. That proper cracked me up

And Phil the Can got plenty of mentions too. That guy is one hardcore drinker. F..k me he can drink a tinny or 30. Would love to see Phil on a Korda video in his biv, red eyed and mangled up

But that's the thing cypography isn't about the riggy stuff it's about the images and videography hence the name

Darrells big carp stories make the subscription to Carpfix worthwhile on their own, his story about needing a number 2 on the car park lake had me in tears

I've read his book at least twice and still found that Yateley episode proper gripping. He really does tell it well.

Cypography is starting to get on my nerves if I'm honest, just Elliot's mates or Nigel 'monotone' Sharp lately, might have to check Pecky's channel out

Signed up the other day. First subscription based product in angling I've tried. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. Really well put together. Enjoy listening to Pekkers too, which helps Looking forward to seeing it grow and to support Pekkers with couple pints every month, not a problem.

Hi all, I used to be an avid user of CarpForum back when I was in uni. I still browse it now and again but don't chat as much as I used to.

Anyway...

I make the videos with Darrell for CarpFix. I left my job at Korda to take a chance at this. I'm so pleased to see lots of you love our videos. It may not seem it but it's a lot of work getting three videos out every month so I hope the variety of what we're putting out caters for you all, our plan is to have a mix of content which will please everyone.

You all give very honest opinions on here so if you have anything you would like to see of are not keen on I'd love to hear your ideas/comments. I won't take anything personally!

Lastly, for anyone who's not tried it I'd be happy to give CarpForum members a discount on the monthly plan. If you're already a member on the monthly you can message me and I can adjust your account. Mods, if this goes against your rules please let me know how I can cater for the members

Cheers, Scott.

Scott , I like the fact he references you are filming him in the background, the turning on the light for the start of the story's is a nice touch . The format is right , and the subscription is right to me.

Scott I've signed up for 12 months anyway. It's the only sub I pay for.

I like the fact that you listen to feedback.
The others pay lip service to this but nothing changes.

Funnily enough My favourite parts are Pekkers Tekkers and the Big Carp Story at the moment.

Plus for a future Pekkers Tekkers can we have him demonstrating his homemade wafters please as he's so precise with these..

It was always going to be the way, he has been almost out on his own for a little while now so a bit of competition may be a good thing for Elliot. I'm a fan of Cypography so will keep that too, look forward to seeing how he reacts

Quality and content of carp fix is very good so far. I am member and appreciate the offer of reduce subs but its a tough world and worthy of my £5.99 👍👍

I was a member of Cypography, but the content put out now, and before lockdown either has similar stuff available on Youtube or stuff I just don't want to watch. To be honest, I personally feel what was done making all videos available previous to the subscription changeover to anyone that paid for just 1 subscription wasn't on.

I gave it a chance after that....It isnt for me now.

I love Laneys "Inner Circle" stories, I donate to Joe's project and will look at CarpFix this evening.

Hi mate,

Feedback is really important to us, especially as we start out. We can make whatever people want so long as there's a demand for it. If you all have any preferences as to what you'd like to see let me know on here or PM me

Lots of people love Darrell's stories but these aren't never ending so we'll have to find new ideas for the future.

I'll make a note of the wafter tekkers video, very good shout and one I hadn't thought about so thanks for that.

Thanks again, Scott.

Of course there isn't but we scan YouTube every day. We'd take it as a compliment if they tried. There's also nothing stopping people sharing multiple accounts. We're able to monitor activity and proactively close down accounts when this happens, it just takes us time to confirm they're abusing our system. Regards, Scott.

What about interviewing people like Rob Maylin, Maddocks for instance?

What about walking around some of the famous waters in this country talking about the history of the places?

I would do a series on fishing open access historical/yesteryear waters, loads out there, and would be refreshing to see, especially if they do their homework on them first

The list is endless.

Walk places like Hanualt, Longfield, Redmire, Savay, the norvern meres etc, speak to the blokes that fished um. Laney did it with Wrasbury which I and other anglers I've spoken to found it very interesting.

Peck's not fished any of those as far as I'm aware and he doesnt strike me as the interviewing type.

Maybe not, but by doing so widens the scope of the platform and widens the audience? I suppose if you center everything around one bloke, it's just very limiting, ok I guess if you're a fanboi which I certainly aint.

It's only a suggestion/ ideas.

Some very good ideas above and one's I'll look at with Darrell so thank you.

Our plans aren't to solely film with Darrell, we will be producing a mix of content. If there's someone or something in-particular you would like us to film with please let me know. PM is always welcome if you prefer.

Regards, Scott.
