Cypography Carp Fishing Podcast

Elliott and Thom, back at it. Elliott opens up on his own fishing and where his head's at right now — a spring he's glad to see the back of, his lake shut for spawning, and a family trip to Disneyland where he couldn't stop hunting for carp. Talk turns to what's next for Cypography and a new series with Scott Lloyd.

Elliott & Thom, back at it. Elliott opens up on his own fishing and where his head's at right now. Talk turns to the hunt for new lakes to lease, what's next for Cypography, and the big one everyone's waiting on — has the Waterside Common broken the British record?

Elliott & Thom are back — and this one goes everywhere. A 64lb mirror that left the net at 29lb, a Phantom Shitter mystery on Elliott's lake, and a surface-fishing breakthrough sparked by a four-year-old's boredom. Plus Luke lands a near-50 common, the Wingham record debate reopens, and the boys talk May tactics. Lake ownership chaos and proper insight.

Elliott & Thom are back — and this one doesn't slow down. Fresh off the back of the Doncaster and Essex fishing shows, they're breaking down what worked, what surprised them, and why the show circuit still hits different when it's done right. Elliott's been on the bank too, and he's got thoughts on small waters. The Tactics, sessions, the stuff that's actually working right now — plus more on the lake he's taken on. Early impressions, big expectations, and why he thinks it might be something special.

Elliott & Thom are back and this one goes everywhere. From questioning whether “quick change” rigs are actually quick at all, to revealing details about a new lake Elliott he’s taken on — one he believes holds some of the best carp in the country. The conversation also drifts into the reality of running Cypography behind the scenes, the constant battle to keep people engaged, and why retention, hooks and social media are all becoming bigger talking points than ever!

A January catch-up episode covering what’s been happening at Cypography and across the carp scene.We talk about Cypography Angler of the Year, with Robbie Briers taking the title, and why recognising consistency and moments still matters. There’s chat around Scott Lloyd’s last three releases, what’s stood out, and the reaction to them, alongside thoughts on Martin Locke’s 68lb capture and why fish like that still stop people in their tracks. We also cover the new giveaways being run with Capital Carp Competitions, and touch on getting back out to the carp shows as the year gets underway.

This week, Elliott opens up about slowing life down and spending proper, quality time on the bank with his son Albert — a reminder of what fishing is really all about. He dives into the new Fox Heli-Safe that’s turning heads and seriously challenging Korda’s version, plus a fresh batch of underwater revelations featuring Scott Lloyd. The lads also touch on how a single swan can ruin a carefully crafted spot in seconds, and the devastating situation unfolding at the Orient as dam repairs continue to take their toll.

In this episode, Elliott dives into the madness of their latest underwater shoot with Alan Blair — a session that took an unexpected turn when the cameras weren’t the only things rolling… let’s just say there were plenty of naked distractions in the background! Between the chaos, the lads get stuck into a few Cypography updates, the ongoing beaked vs straight point hook debate, and how Elliott’s been slowing things down to spend a bit of proper family time away from the banks.

In this episode, Elliott talks about Scott Lloyd’s Fishin’ Show, his recent fishing at Burghfield, The NEW Survival Series and preparing to film an underwater project with Alan Blair. He also shares members’ feedback and reflects on the end of an era with the closure of Nash Bait.

From charity events to surface-caught carp, this episode has it all! We chat about Paul Forward’s big charity event, Scott Lloyd’s first-ever social at Linear, and the highs of catching carp off the top. Plus, we lift the lid on our brand-new series The Castaways, where Elliott and Finn have to catch carp to earn their food!

From the pinnacle of big carp fishing to pike spawning, this podcast dives into a variety of talking points – plus all the latest goings-on behind the scenes at Cyp.

This podcast covers the highs and lows of film-making, unexpected feedback, controversy on fish farming techniques, the daily goings on at CYP, a listener's Q&A and much more...

Is breaking the British record imminent, and which will be the fish to break it? A hot topic in our latest podcast, as we discuss our latest endeavours, which include underwater filming with Oscar Thornton and a trip to a potential record-breaking venue, Waterside.

The Cypography Podcast returns and this time we've got reinforcements! Top angling journalist, Thom Airs, digs deep into our Linear Fisheries Submerge project, grilling us about the latest underwater blockbuster with Gaz Fareham! Do we ever fall out? Have we changed our rigs since we started underwater filming? Does Gaz do his hair every day or is it just naturally cool? All these and a host of technical insights into our Hardwick Smiths series are packed into just under an hour and a half of prime podcast!

In this podcast we discuss Elliott’s fishing of late, our underwater filming plans, some Stoneacre exploits, a crazy trip to the Alps, the popularity of carp fishing, super-long tiger nuts and much more, whilst answering questions from the listeners along the way.

We thought we'd change things up a bit, and rather than stick to the traditional format, we're going to try our pods in a live format. You can listen along, join in on the fun stay up to date with all the latest goings on, quite literally from the horses mouth.

This podcast covers a variety of topics, ranging from what we deem as the best carp alive in the UK, otter predation, catching the Burghfield common, head-turning captures from recent times and things you might look forward to from Cypography in the near-future.

The third carp fishing podcast from Cypography - hosted by Elliott Gray and Richard Stewart. "In this episode we discuss the all-important effects of the weather on our winter carp fishing, and how Elliott is now using his pond as gauge of how the carp might be acting in our lakes. We reminisce of a trip to the famous Redmire Pool, a visit to John Baker's bait lab and a trip to Nash Lakes Royston, where Elliott looked in detail at Jim Shelley's bungee rig. We also discuss the Northern carp scene and the Northern Chapters book , now that Rich has had the chance to read it he gives his verdict, and we're calling out for venue suggestions too! There's this and lots more so buckle up and enjoy.”

The first ever carp fishing podcast from Cypography - hosted by Elliott Gray and Richard Stewart. "For a long time we've wanted to bring a podcast to the table, and we've finally done it. With more than a decade in the angling industry, working on the carp fishing journalism side, we have so many stories to tell. Working to build our Cypography video archive sees us mixing with the best carp anglers there is, week in week out, and with this in mind, there's always something interesting to talk about. As keen carp anglers ourselves, it's not just our Cypography work that we'll discuss, but a host of other interesting topics too, based on what's happening on the carp scene at the time. In this episode we discuss the full moon phase, the impossible task of catching in the fog, the Burghfield common, Elliott's new found love for fishing in Europe and a general catching up of what's been happening in the world of Cypography of late. Our ears are always firmly to the ground and we hope to bring an insightful, entertaining and carp-fuelled podcast into the mix. Here's our first attempt."
