Carp Fishing Advice

As exasperating as it is, carp fishing is awesome. Carp are especially good at sucking in and blowing out suspicious baits. It’s such an exciting moment to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as you wait with baited breath to see if the fish will grab the bait

Carp happily feed on the surface of the water as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming and these are inexpensive baits too. Just fix the bait to the hooks: I think bread works the best. First soften the biscuits by dipping them in the water for about 2 minutes, then, place them in a sealed, plastic sandwich bag for about an hour. Since different brands have different textures, you will just have to carry out trials to discover which kind is firm enough to cast. An additional way to hook bait is by super gluing the pellet onto the shank of the hook.

Once they get into feeding, let them feel at ease around the bait. This gives more opportunity for the angler since they will become less choosey. This tactic can be especially practical for zig rigs.

Once they’re feeding, cast the bait but make sure not to drop the bait directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding spot then slowly reel the bait into place. While the bait is still hanging, keep the ground bait coming in so as to deter the carp from leaving.

How to Set-Up Your Rig?

• Use a hair rig to increase your prospect of catching fish. As carp taste their food first, they won't feed if they don’t like the taste.
• You could also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs breaking strain, then use a leader that suits the situation.
• Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You might also use foam rubber dipped in a flavor in order to increase the appeal of the bait.
• You could also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook. Then slide the bait on the shank, and then slide the bait from the needle onto the hair.
• Using a float is also an help because it adds weight in order to be able to cast further, you will also be able to see where the bait is.
• Don’t forget the controller float rig. A leader can be affixed to the swivel on the mainline. It should be at least 3 feet in length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do, just so long as it floats well enough to be seen.

As experts say, it is not the bait that catches carp but the way in which the bait is offered. Ground-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This encourages the carp to think that there is a regular supply of food for them and by “word of mouth” there’ll soon be a shoal of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work out just dandy.
