Tactics:
Seek out any visible far bank feature and try float fishing a chunk of bread crust for the carp. Alternatively the odd carp can show to paste or pellet fished close in or again to any feature. Odd chub, bream, tench, decent perch and skimmers to float fished chopped worm and caster. Corn, an underrated bait here, often produces decent sized roach. Roach and skimmers to float fished caster, seed baits or maggot. Good Swims: The features are an obvious magnet for the carp. |
