dexie 2 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 hi mate. [bANNED TEXT] i would say is start on small well stocked waters and get the basics right like watercraft, baiting, and most important fish handling and welfare.

runforyourlife 361 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Doesnt matter what bait you use, you will catch carp.... there is a fishing complex just outside of preston, cant remember name but i will find out. It hold specimen bream. Soi filled in for these in the hope of a double figure bream, instead i had just under 200lb of carp!! Thats the place you want to be to get used to them. It was all natural, ie: caster, hemp, corn, worm in a mix. Carp are greedy and fat, fill it in, and hold on to your rod. Fish 1 rod on your alarm, and i would advice tipping on the other with mid range lines and hooks , much more fun, and better fights, as it can get pretty boring wiping carp out one after the other on heavy gear.

johnnyboy28 1 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Local knowledge is the most important thing you need ask about the lake in your tackle shop and people who fish it this will let you know what the best bait , swim ,time of day etc Quote Link to post
Guest bullterrier Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 when you go to your local lake take your time and plummet around the margin there are is usually a drop off a couple of feet out put a plummet weight on if your float fishing and fish just touching bottom now the waters warming up feed micro pellets and fish a 6mm pellet on the hook or fish bread and feed liquidised bread this should get you a few fish if the weathers hot try early morning or around tea time good luck i catch more carp float fishing this way than most carp lads using three rods with boilies. ..john Quote Link to post
