Quest Fishing Adventures Podcast - Q.F.A

Welcome back to the Quest Fishing Adventures June 2026 Update ! It's great to be back with another monthly catch-up. June has been all about getting back out on the bank, making the most of the longer days and enjoying every minute by the water. This month we've been watching loads of carp cruising around the lakes, witnessed the incredible carp spawning once again, landed a lovely carp an...

As spring has rapidly given way to what feels more like the middle of summer, the lake has been changing almost by the day. The prolonged spell of hot weather has pushed water temperatures up, and with it, the carp have made some noticeable moves. Fish that were spending much of their time in the deeper water earlier in the year have now started showing up in the shallower areas, taking advantage...

Welcome to the Lac Solace Podcast — the story of one unforgettable week chasing monster carp in the heart of France. Join me, Alex, and Nathan as we take on the legendary Lac Solace — a stunning 3-acre gravel pit famous for its huge carp, wild surroundings, and serious challenges. With fish averaging over 45lb and monsters pushing beyond 60lb, this lake has built a reputation as one of France’s mo...

In this update, I’ll be chatting about what I’ve been up to lately. It’s been a bit of a slower month in terms of actually getting the rods out, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s been happening. I’ve been getting things lined up for my upcoming France trip, which I’m seriously buzzing for, and putting some proper time into mapping one of my waters. That’s partly to build my own understanding of it,...

March 2026 — let’s get into it. In this episode, I’m bringing you a full update on everything I’ve been up to on the bank lately. There’s a big one in here… I finally picked up something really special at the show — something I’ve been after for a long time — and yeah, I couldn’t be happier with it. We’ll also be talking about how the fishing’s been going over the past few weeks, including time sp...

In this episode, I tell the full story of how I caught my first 40 pound UK carp… and trust me, it didn’t just happen overnight. This one had a proper build-up. The blanks. The second guessing. The quiet mornings on the bank when nothing shows and you start wondering if you’ve got it all wrong. I talk through the prep, the little signs that kept me going, the swim choice, the baiting approach, and...

In this month’s update, I talk through everything that’s been going on behind the scenes as we edge closer to spring. One of the big things covered is the Fishery Managers Course I attended. It was a proper eye-opener and gave me a much deeper understanding of what really goes into running a fishery properly. From water quality to stock management, it’s given me a whole new level of respect for th...

Alright, welcome back to the podcast and welcome to the January update. I’ll be honest straight off the bat, this episode isn’t about big hits or hero shots, because January has absolutely not been that kind of month. I’ve only managed one actual fishing trip, and even that felt more like a reconnaissance mission than a session. Most of January’s been spent doing what looks suspiciously like not f...

After disappearing longer than a carp in crystal-clear water (last episode was May 26th, 2024 😅), Quest Adventures has officially returned. Yep — life happened, rods got dusty, microphones went quiet… but the podcast is alive and kicking once again. In this episode, I ramble a bit, apologise a lot, laugh at myself, and ease my way back into things. Consider this the “long-overdue reunion tour” ep...

Trying once again to unlock the code on Rousebarn 2.

Back out again surface Fishing with the young legend Dylan

It is time. Time to get the surface rod back out! LETS see how this pans out ?

Well I wanted to go back soon after my last trip to try out a small theory I have and also I have in the back of my head the fact I will be putting in a big campaign on Lily Lake soon.

So I have decided to take a trip back to silty Shallows in todays pod.

*****NEW LAKE***** So in this podcast I'm fishing another new lake on my tickets. The plan was not to fish it this soon by the stars have alined which pushed me to put the rods out.

Well the plan was to jump back on Five Pillers but due to my swim being taken I decided to fish a different lake in today episode.

So time has come for me to jump back on this mega lake on a mission to catch my first carp out of here.

Back out in search of another 30lber from this lake. Fingers crossed the Carp gods will be shining down on me.

So decide I have to call back in on the Noisy Lake with a mission to try and get back in one of the honey holes see if I can catch another one of the beautiful carp that live in this lake.

Well time for a change on this lake. I need to change my swim as it as switched off. So come have a listen to see what I have come up with and if it pays off.

So after purchasing that chicken tikka liquid and then every time I have just it in my carp fishing. I have always thought that the smell would be great on the river. So I just had to give it ago. Come and have a listen to see if it worked.

Back out on Rousebarn 2 and jumping back on the same spots as last week. With one thing in mind that lump of a carp I lost!!!

I just had to go back. This lake will not beat me again in the winter. I just know I have the ability to catch from this lake all year round

When things don't go to plan part 2 but leigh does get drunk.

Looks like this is the start of the campaign on Lillys Lake and about time I say. It's not going to be easy but if I can catch at least one carp out I'll be buzzing.
