Oli Davies Woolpack Campaign - Nash Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 63
This week the podcast sees the return of Mr Half-A-Wrap, the one and only Oli Davies.
Oli has had a hugely successful campaign on the infamously difficult Woolpack Lakes 5 & 6 over the previous season. This campaign was the subject of a two part video series on Nash Tv all about how Oli went about targeting the special old English carp that live in the waters of the Woolpack. This podcast goes into even more detail on how he was so successful in such a short period of time on the venue.
Oli takes about why he found himself on the complex and fully admits to at first not knowing much about the stock. From a tricky start with floods and generally not being able to fish regularly he soon built up a picture of the lake with, as always, fish location being top of his list.
With his trusty Nash Bushwhacker baiting pole in hand Oli explains how he located carp and presented the perfect combination of rig, bait and hookbait to them right where they wanted it, and this soon led to incredible success in the form of two ancient A Team common carp.
Oli's success and confidence grew and soon the thought to be ultra-tricky spooky carp where giving him bites within seconds of him deploying the Bushwhacker, in some cases, even before he could shut the bail arm. Oli talks about how he had to change things to keep bites coming but keep coming they did! Ultimately the fish he wanted “The Carving” ended up in his net which signified the end of his time on there, even if maybe the lure of the other lakes and fish on the complex draw him back.
This is an incredible insight as to just how focused Oli is in his pursuit of carp, it also shows that he has his carp fishing priorities in order and doesn’t get bogged down with particulars. It’s fair to say Oli is a carp catching machine wherever he goes, but despite not targeting specific carp Oli’s natural angling ability shines through and the proof as they say is in the pudding. Incredible angling as always Oli.
