I regularly refer to stuff I find pleasing as pukka and have done so for many, may years.
Does that make me a noddy?

I think I speak for all of us when I say “I'm amazed you even needed to ask”

You're gonna need to download ministry of sound Ibiza techo banger anthems As well. For your Bluetooth speaker, unless you can park a T5 behind your swim and just have all the doors open.

Reading through this thread, I think some people need to watch less YouTube, spend less time on Facebook and put a bit more effort into finding decent venues to fish.

If the Korda videos wind you up don't watch them, if the lakes you are fishing are full of c***** find somewhere better to fish.

Strikes me the people with the real issue are those whinging about people and content that they have no requirement to interact with. If you're fishing lakes full of ‘nods' it probably says a lot about your own angling.

Now thats one that i totally do not get. I am a lover of many types of music and have done the rave thing in the past but seriously, i have never thought that dance music and carp fishing could go hand in hand

I can picture myself laid on the bank, nice day, few tunes in the background

Unless its some drug fuelled, ego feeding rage, look at me, some dance man, mad for it man?

I thought you had to go to a club to shag girls, bank must be the new place to be

Each to their own, thank god for quite waters

One of the very well know Korda anglers is a couple of 100 yards away from me right now, on the other side of the lake and he is know different from any other of the members. Pays the same as us, behaves like everyone else. Just wants to go fishing and Is a decent bloke with no ego or any other agenda than just to try really hard to catch carp, just like the rest of the members. So why not just go fishing and enjoy it and not be concerned by other anglers?

Amen to that. You can get a very distorted view watching YouTube vids. As others have said venue selection is key. As for going abroad, again I'm sure there's just as many dixxheads in France, Spain etc so venue choice is key there too.

Have a pop round and ask him why he's not giving it the big un or all the bravado like they do in their videos. Or keep an eye out for when he catches one and see if it kicks off lol

Maybe he's embarrassed when he has to fish alongside other anglers and the reality sets in?

Maybe the videos are just one big massive sales pitch?

Does not sound like normal behaviour this to me

Depends who it is of course.

It's obvious that Dovey, Spooner and Hamidi get a bit excited for the cameras on Monster Carp, it's selling a TV show after all and it wouldn't make for very good viewing if they sat there being all serious, that's why you don't see technical Fishing programmes on mainstream TV, they are boring!

Having met Dovey on a water last year he was quiet, polite and nothing like the TV persona, same for a lot of people from all different walks of life who appear in the media when compared to their own, private time.

Remember John Wilson and his hi pitched laughing and giggling, Bob Mortimer falling over in his fishing show with Paul Whithouse, not a lot different really but people wont let that stop the Korda bashing.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
