Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode our guest is Master Carp Angler Scott Osmond...Scott is one of the most consistently prolific Carp Anglers in the USA today and with 38 years of Carp Angling experience under his belt the info given in this episode is not to be missed! We look at the details of his approach to sessions and love of Bread as his 'go to' bait. With a recurring theme of 'watercraft' that we are seeing with the best Anglers in the USA, Scott looks at how water temperatures factor into his approach and emphasises the need for constant 'failure' to get to success. Some great insights into his personal stalking approach and watercraft skills are shared as well as some 'first time' reveals of how his Angling mind works....A great in depth interview that will help any Angler in their approach.
