Carp fishing is a really enjoyable activity as carp are very intelligent and learn from experience and sometimes recognise fishing bait as dangerous. Even so, with a bit of guile, you can tempt carp and dupe them into being your latest catch. Here are just some pointers to help you when carp fishing:-

• Take fishmeal-based boilies in the summer and autumn seasons, and experiment with half-half combinations or birdfood bait during the winter and spring
• When the water is cold such as in the winter, experiment with throwing your rigs more frequently, and target different areas so you can set a hook bait close to the carp. Cold water slows down the movements of carp thus there’s a lesser opportunity for the carp to swim towards your hook. During summer, you can position traps in possible patrolling locations and simply wait for the carp to take the bait.
• Experiment with various sizes of pellets or particles in the spod mix. This helps confuse the carp, and also gives you the option to try contrasting sizes of bait.
• Include high sources of vitamin C into the bait. Mix your method with fruit juice rather than water from the lake. You can also experiment with dipping fresh boilies in fruit juice so as to to create that distinct relish.
• Whenever possible, try not to use round bait. Numerous fishing lines feature rounded bait, you want to be different. Try to square the hook bait with small scissors.
• Lastly, make sure you have the right fishing gear with you. Research what you should bring online. You can find all kinds of things online, such as carp bite alarms - and ensure you enjoy yourself!
