UK Carp & Coarse Fishing

With rain forecast for pretty much all day tomorrow, I’ve cancelled my gardening jobs and decided to head off down the lake a day earlier than normal.

Sometimes you just have to make the most of the weather, and if I’m going to get wet, I’d much rather be sitting beside the lake with the rods out! 🎣

Let’s see what the next few days bring. 🤞

🍂 Autumn Particle Fishing – Jurassic Style! 🍂

When the leaves start to fall, particle fishing for carp really comes into its own – and when done right, it can be absolutely devastating. Here at Jurassic Particles, we know autumn is all about keeping those carp grubbing confidently on the spot.
🎯 Topping up is key – Getting the fish feeding is one thing, but keeping them there is another. As a general rule, fire out 8–10 spods after each fish. Always get a fresh rig positioned first, then top up afterwards – you’ll keep that feeding rhythm going nicely.

🌽 Keep it tight – Unlike boilie fishing, don’t go spreading bait all over the place. Carp feeding on particles stick close together, so focus on a tight 4–6ft wide area, with rigs side by side over the top. You can always drop one just off the edge too – that can nick you an extra bite!

💛 Blend in smartly – A classic autumn spod mix often includes maize or yellow baits – carp absolutely love them. If your spot’s full of yellow flecks, your yellow hookbait will blend in perfectly for those cautious feeders.

🥜 Mix it up – Carp can get totally locked onto the small seeds in a mix, so don’t forget to add some bigger food items like chopped nuts, maize, or crushed boilies. This helps keep them guessing – and gives you better hookbait options.

🧂 Add a pinch of rock salt – Carp can’t find salt naturally, but they crave it. Adding some to your prepped mix gives them what they’re after and keeps them coming back.

💧 Don’t forget the oil – A bit of oil in your mix helps create those lovely slicks when fish feed. Hemp is naturally oily, but an extra splash lets you read the water – when the surface flattens off, you’ll know they’re on the bait!

This autumn, keep your mix tight, your bait rich, and your feeding consistent – and the results will speak for themselves. 🎣

The Deeper Sonar Maps+ app now has a Measure Distance feature, which is a fantastic way of accurately calculating the distance from you to your chosen spot.

If you’re using a Horizon Marker, this makes it really easy to measure the distance and then consistently clip up to the same spot, session after session.

Another really useful feature from Deeper Sonar that can help take the guesswork out of your fishing. 🎣
