Tactics:
Big, hard pellets, 6 mm and 8 mm. or dead red maggots, or punched meat all fished on the Method with micros. for the carp and F1's at distance. Fish a bomb a little shorter, beyond the long pole line, for bigger carp. Pellets and paste late-on will catch big carp in the margins. Corn or expander pellets over pellets best for a big net of bream and skimmers. Good Swims: Between the two islands often fishes best. |
