The Session
  • Venue Roulette | Alan Blair & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.1

    Episode 1

    In this film we follow the hyperactive Alan Blair halfway across the south of England in search of carp. The man is a dynamo so action was guaranteed – the only question was; could he help Elliott land his first river carp along the way? (Of course he could, and what a carp that was…)

  • Black Swan, Dinton | Myles Gibson & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.2

    Episode 2

    Elliott joins Myles Gibson at the magnificent Dinton Pastures complex, live and in the thick of his campaign on Black Swan lake. What he's achieved at the venue so far is incredible and the same applies for his results during the film. We witnessed some truly fine angling during the 48-hours we s...

  • The Wharf | Dave Robinson & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.3

    Episode 3

    Well this was an experience, our first-ever Welsh session! We pointed the cars west, heading for the urban sprawl of Cardiff, to join Elliott’s good friend, Dave Robinson on the notorious Wharf fishery - one of the undisputed jewels in the crown for Welsh carpers. Dave was in the middle of a mamm...

  • The Valleys | Nick Helleur & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.4

    Episode 4

    Nick took us on a cold-water road trip around some of his favourite venues close to his Colne Valley home, as well as further afield. Our feet literally didn’t touch the floor as we battled frozen lakes to get a bend in the rod (SPOILER ALERT: We did manage to capture Nick banking a special canal...

  • Waterways | James Armstrong & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.5

    Episode 5

    We've got a huge slice of the juiciest live action, brought to you from the banks of a forbidden paradise, in a sleepy Cambridgeshire village. James Armstrong managed to get permission to film on this exclusive lake, and he and Elliott enjoy some action from the gnarliest carp around!

  • Nowhere | Gaz Fareham & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.6

    Episode 6

    Gaz has been traveling to Europe in search of fresh challenges for a few years now, so when we got the chance to tag along and document the process, we jumped at the chance. We joined Gaz and his friend Benji at a remote dammed river before following them to the fascinating chain of pits that Gaz...

  • Walthamstow | John Barnes & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.7

    Episode 7

    We met Walthamstow veteran, John Barnes, on the gate as London woke around us. While commuters swigged flat whites and rubbed sleep from their eyes, we charged off to find fish on the reservoirs that John has called home for the last 15 years. Nobody knows these waters like John, and we hoped tha...

  • Horseshoe Lake | Jake Wildbore | S1: Ep.8

    Episode 8

    Jake Wildbore returns to a water that holds a special place in not only his fishing, but the hearts of carp anglers across the Uk; Horseshoe Lake. The resulting Session film is our most action-packed to date, with surface sport, some sneaky marginal manoeuvres and out-in-the-pond action too!

  • Yateley Pads Lake | Joe Morgan & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.9

    Braving plummeting temperatures, our Session film took us to the heart of the magnificent Yateley Complex, joining forces with the prolific Joe Morgan on the Pads Lake. With a good head of big mirrors in front of us, the lads adopt totally contrasting tactics to try to winkle a winter whacker out...

  • Junction 12 | Jon McAllister & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.11

    Episode 11

    Our Session film took us to Reading & District Angling Association’s unique Junction 12 lake, with another angler that dared to do what other only talked about and crossed paths with the Black Mirror… Jon McAllister. As well as being quite the character, Jon has amassed a CV of big, history carp ...

  • Farlows | Tom Maker & Elliott Gray | S1: Ep.12

    The Session takes us to renowned Colne Valley day-ticket, Farlows, and before we’d even set out we knew that action was practically guaranteed (even though it was January!), because our guest was ‘The Machine’, Tom Maker! Despite his tender age, Tom has blazed a trail across the carp scene since ...
