Cast your mind back eight years. Remember those huge Wellington Country Park Carp, looming down the lens of the Korda underwater camera? It was pretty impressive, right? Well, get set to have your socks blown off by the next chapter in the Underwater Saga... Part 8, which is set for release in early November. So why now after so many aborted attempts? Well, Ali Hamidi was central to resurrecting the acclaimed series. He managed to convince Danny Fairbrass to dust off the underwater camera kit and give it another go. The duo set about planning an underwater assault on the carp of Linear Fisheries St Johns Lake. "We picked St Johns because we wanted to go to a lake that had very pressured carp in it." Ali told us. St Johns also has some huge carp in it and it wasn't long before they were making regular visits to the margin spot that the team had chosen. Although conditions weren't always favourable, the fish kept coming and the tactical insight that the footage gives is quite unique, as Ali explains, "I learned so much; I think I came out of there probably 10 years wiser after that month in a bivvy. It's no longer just Dan and Dan's view; it's now my view, Tom's view and Damian Clarke is there for periods too. You get different people giving honest opinions about what's happening." Will it improve you as an angler if you watch it? Well, Ali is sure that everyone will learn from the two-part series, telling us that, "I don't think there's been a single session since we stopped filming when I haven't done something that I learned on that DVD. To someone who's been carp fishing 22 years that has to be quite significant. It will make a big impact on you and I hope you enjoy it."
