It is the 6th August 2014 and we are watching a stunning moment in carp fishing history. It is the first ever time a carp take is witnessed in front of an underwater camera and sent live streamed to the internet. We are at the Lago di Bolsena in Italy, and
that first carp is an amazing 23 Kg common carp caught at the World Carp Classic Livestream Event and it is one of the biggest carp caught from the lake. This was definitely a breathtaking moment for all participants and also entertained thousands of screen users from 46 different countries. Everybody was fascinated by the images and how everything works, it is only possible by using the right technology from Carpspot that is positioned in exactly the right place. The whole event was made possible by using
the Carpspot Spotcam Digital underwater camera placed at different spots. That was one year ago, their technology is now on the market, displayed at all the big fishing shows and is now sold all over Europe. Systems are now in place in Russia, Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany etc. and also at major brands of the carp fishing industry. At last year’s World Carp Classic, the underwater camera enabled the only underwater camera using team of Mario Gijbels and Bob Cuyvers to get into thetop 10 teams at the WCC 2014 fishing an unfancied peg. In this year’s World Carp Classic, the
underwater camera technology will be used by three Carpspot supported teams at Lac de Madine. Carpspot will equip all three teams with underwater camera technology to get an insight into what happens underwater and to react to the pictures in realtime, through live transmitted images by wireless signal. These recorded images, with hopefully a lot of carp, can also be seen during the competition

it’s like fishing with six rods at any one time! .. two rods at your favourite locations and the you can check out four more locations with four underwater cameras
through the media channels of the WCC, so fans at home can enjoy the ups and downs of the competitors. After last year’s livestream event, we
improved the cameras again and we have now got a perfect working underwater camera system ready for this year’s World Carp Classic 2015 event in the middle of September. Along with daylight recording and transmitting, it is now also possible to get live transmitted images at night through infrared cameras integrated in the normal camera. An innovative Carp Pad
was also developed as a very light and easy to hand-held receiver unit. Additionally, we have undertaken some incremental development in all of the technical components that has enabled the system to run continuously for over 60 hours. This is very important if you are fishing at distance and you don’t want to change batteries every day. Take your chance and have a look at the underwater cameras on our booth in before the competition, we’ll be next to the registration. The starter set consists of a portable
receiver unit with one screen and one sender unit with marker pole, batteries, underwater housing and aerial, but expandable to up to four cameras with one receiver unit. The starter set costs from at €1398, but it is not made in China as some may expect.
