Carp fishing is a very rewarding pasttime because these fish are rather smart and often suspicious of anything put in front of them. Even so, with a bit of cunning, you can invite carp and fool them into biting onto your hook. What follows are just a few tips to help you when fishing for carp:-
- Use boilies that are fishmeal-based in the finer weather (summer and autumn), and try your hand with 50/50 mixtures or even birdfood bait during the winter and spring
- Add a lot of salt to particle baits, especially the cooked ones like tares, hemp, maize, beans, maple peas and partiblend seeds. The carp love the taste of salty foods. Roughly, mix one tablespoon of salt to five litres dry particles. These are also cost-effective and will save you money on baits!
- Experiment by adding spicy chillies to some particle baits. Carp appear to enjoy that hot sensation from those chillies. As a rough guide, add a couple of tablespoons to 5 litres of particles.
- Use different particles or sizes of pellets in the spod mixture. This helps confuse the carp, and also gives you the choice to try diverse sizes on the hook.
- If you are nervous about overfeeding the swim, then try breadcrumb groundbait with just the attractants added, but without all the particle baits included. This attracts the fish without stuffing them.
- Whenever possible, try not to stick round-shaped bait on the hook. So many lines sport rounded bait, you want to be different. Experiment with squaring 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 muddy water bobbins - and make sure you enjoy yourself!
