Do people still glug their hook baits or is this a thing of the past?  Personally,  I have been glugging my hook baits for so long I can’t remember when I started.

The principal is that you glug your hook baits to stand out from the rest of your freebies in your baited area or when you’re using single hook baits.  It boosts the attraction of your bait within the area you are fishing.

I tend to do them in 1-kilo bags.

You can glug your baits with a flavour of your hook bait or add oils.  Over the years, a couple of my favourites have been;

Oyster sauce

Toasted sesame seed oil

You need to test a sample batch to check that the boilie absorbs your chosen glug.

Over the past few years bait companies have introduced some great booster sprays.  This is to give your bait an instant boost or you’re can leave them for days, weeks, months or even years.

I tend to boost the ready-made version of my bait and then store in the fridge (that’s my fridge and not the family one).

There are also available food dips designed for this purpose in mind.

There are also some great liquids which you can boost your hook baits, two of my personal favourites are;

and you can mix them together.

These particle hook baits are a mix of pop-ups, wafers and bottom baits all done in one tub, if you don’t fancy doing them in kilo bags.

These are a few old baits I still have around in my fridge, not 100% sure which baits there are, probably liver & squid.

Hope This Helps

More Ramblings

This is something that goes around in my head all the time. As I get older, I’m torn between comfort and taking too much kit.

I’ve come to appreciate the importance of comfort during my fishing trips. Having ample space to move about within my bivvy, a comfortable chair to sit on, and avoiding spending the entire day hunched up on my bedchair has become a priority. While there are quality bedchair chairs available, the key is in how you arrange your setup. I personally prefer having my bedchair aligned lengthwise inside my bivvy, which not only provides more room but also allows me to position my bivvy at an angle. This setup enables me to keep an eye on my rods and enjoy a clear view of the lake simultaneously.

It’s worth noting that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to setting up your bivvy. While modern fishing equipment might suggest otherwise, I’ve been employing this method for years, even with bivvies like the Aqua Compact and JRC Bivvy. Now, I’ve upgraded to the Titan T2, which is undeniably a substantial piece of kit. Along with the inner capsule and an overwrap for those chilly winter sessions, it’s an absolute game-changer in terms of comfort and versatility.

As you’ll notice from the photographs, I have an undeniable penchant for comfort when I’m out on my fishing trips. Being an avid camper, I’ve found that camping chairs provide a level of comfort that traditional carp fishing chairs don’t quite match, especially during those long hours by the water’s edge. Standing at a modest 5 feet 6” with short legs, I’ve often found fishing chairs to be less than comfortable for extended periods – at least for my frame.

You’ll also spot my trusty Weber portable gas BBQ inside my bivvy. This nifty addition has proven invaluable, especially on those chilly winter days and rainy sessions. A word of caution here: when using any gas equipment inside your bivvy, it’s paramount to ensure proper ventilation. I personally carry a carbon monoxide alarm as a safety precaution.

I’ve chosen not to use a dedicated bivvy table, opting instead for my Aqua Stax, which fits perfectly into my Fox Explorer Deluxe Barrow bag. This not only serves as a table but also offers additional protection for my gear.

A Bedchair’s Position: A Matter of Perspective

My choice of bedchair positioning varies depending on where I’d like to direct my gaze. Sometimes, I prefer to have it on the left; other times, it’s on the right. What might seem a bit peculiar to some, is that occasionally, I don’t feel the need to focus on my swim but rather on another area of the lake. This allows me to keep an eye on developments in different parts of the lake, which can provide valuable insights for future reference – a topic that deserves its own blog post!

The Culinary Side of Carp Fishing

When it comes to cooking during my fishing excursions, I have quite an array of kit at my disposal. However, I do have a soft spot for a proper percolated coffee. These days, I’ve made an effort to eat healthier, and that’s why I carry a 30-liter Aquos cool box stocked with salads and the occasional packet of biscuits and chocolate bars.

The Price of Comfort: Too Much Kit?

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the sheer amount of gear. My penchant for comfort comes at the cost of making a few extra trips to and from the swim. Fortunately, I have the luxury of an electric barrow to ease the burden. However, not all lakes permit multiple trips, making this a real challenge at times. It’s a choice one must make – whether to embrace the convenience and extra gear or opt for a more minimalist approach.

For me, I’ve streamlined my tackle to the essentials, allowing me to enjoy the simplicity of a one-trip setup when I feel like it, such as using my Aqua Fast and Light or similar setups. Ultimately, it’s about finding the balance between comfort and convenience, and that balance may evolve with each fishing trip.

And my Fox Explorer Deluxe barrow handles it all.

When I’m gearing up for a fishing session, I typically opt for bringing my bivvy along instead of a bucket to put in the swim. I consider myself fortunate in my membership with this syndicate, there’s seldom a need for a bucket in the swim due to a unique dynamic – the first angler to arrive at the lake usually gets their choice of swim. While this system generally works smoothly, it can get a bit tricky when you’re unaware of someone else scouting or driving around the lake in the opposite direction. The direction you choose to drive around the lake doesn’t follow a strict rule, but sometimes, in your haste to return to the same swim, you might take the shortest route.

Despite these potential hiccups, our syndicate members maintain a harmonious atmosphere. We all get along well and are considerate anglers, fostering an environment of cooperation and flexibility. Thankfully, we have plenty of swim options that consistently produce carp, and everyone is willing to accommodate each other’s preferences to ensure an enjoyable fishing experience for all.

I digress for a moment. My approach involves dividing my fishing gear into three barrow loads. The first load comprises the essentials for my fishing trip, such as my rods, bait, and fishing tackle. The second trip is dedicated to the core fishing gear, including my bedchair, sleeping bag, and other essentials. Lastly, the third trip is all about the creature comforts, like my portable gas BBQ, a spacious 30-liter Fox cool box, additional bait supplies, my reliable Anker power pack, and my new found favorite fishing and camping chair. These comfort items can be left either at home or in the car, depending on my mood and willingness to commit to a longer setup process.

When it comes to heading back home, it’s all about packing everything away and sorting it out later. This stage can be a bit of a hassle, especially when you’ve had a full day of fishing, but it’s a necessary part of the process. I’ve found a workaround for this, thanks in part to my understanding wife and kids, as well as having the space to manage it. I prepare my fishing gear the day before and don’t fully stow it away upon returning home. This way, I can streamline the setup process, saving time and effort on the day of the trip.

However, there are moments when simplicity reigns supreme, and I opt for a smaller bivvy and traditional fishing gear just to simplify the process and make things easier. But it doesn’t take long before I miss the comfort and space of my Titan T2, leaving behind the days of being hunched up under a brolly or a low bivvy. Perhaps it’s an age thing, but comfort has become a significant factor in my fishing adventures.

Till next time

Carp Fishing Ramblings

Introduction

Carp fishing, once a simple and leisurely pursuit, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the decades. From humble beginnings in the 1980s to the advanced and tech-savvy sport it has become in 2023, carp fishing has seen significant changes. In this blog, we’ll delve into the evolution of carp fishing, exploring the differences between the methods, equipment, and overall experience from 1980 to the present day.

The 1980s: A Simpler Era

Carp fishing in the 1980s was characterized by its simplicity. Anglers often relied on traditional techniques and basic equipment. Fishing tackle consisted of sturdy rods, simple reels, and monofilament lines. Baits were typically limited to boilies, corn, and particles. Anglers relied heavily on their knowledge of the water, observation, and intuition. Tactics in the 1980s involved setting up near likely feeding areas, casting out, and waiting patiently for a bite. Rig setups were basic, often featuring a lead weight, hook, and simple hair rig. While effective, these methods lacked the precision and efficiency of modern techniques.

The 2020s: Technology Takes Center Stage

Fast forward to 2023, and carp fishing has undergone a technological revolution. Anglers now have access to a plethora of advanced tools and equipment designed to enhance their chances of success. Fishing rods are lighter, more sensitive, and equipped with advanced materials. Reels come with sophisticated drag systems, allowing anglers to handle powerful carp with ease. One of the most significant advancements is in fishing lines. Braided lines, known for their strength and low diameter, have become popular, providing increased sensitivity and improved bite detection. Fluorocarbon lines, virtually invisible underwater, have also gained prominence, particularly in clear water conditions.

Baits and Attractants

In the 1980s, anglers primarily relied on boilies and natural baits. Today, the market is flooded with a wide array of specialized carp baits, each claiming to offer unique advantages. Boilies, pellets, pop-ups, and flavored ground baits are just a few examples of the diverse range available. Artificial baits, designed to mimic the scent and appearance of natural offerings, have become increasingly sophisticated. In addition to traditional baits, modern carp anglers often use various attractants and additives to enhance their bait presentation. Liquid additives, glugs, and dips are applied to boilies or other baits to create a potent scent trail, drawing carp from a distance.

Rig Innovations

Rig setups have seen a drastic evolution. In the 1980s, hair rigs were a breakthrough, allowing the hook to be separated from the bait. In 2023, anglers have a multitude of rig options, each designed for specific situations and carp behaviors. Chod rigs, Ronnie rigs, and the ever-popular multi-rig are just a few examples of the diverse setups employed by modern carp anglers. Technological advancements also extend to bite alarms and indicators. Wireless, sensitive, and feature-packed, these devices alert anglers to the slightest movement or indication of a carp taking the bait. Mobile apps and connected devices enable anglers to monitor their swim remotely, providing real-time data on weather, water conditions, and even carp activity.

Digital Mapping and Navigation

Carp anglers in 1980 relied on paper maps, landmarks, and word of mouth to discover potential fishing spots. Today, GPS technology and digital mapping apps have revolutionized the way anglers navigate and locate carp hotspots. From bathymetric maps to underwater topography, anglers can analyze the lakebed and make informed decisions about bait placement and swim selection.

Conclusion

The evolution of carp fishing from the 1980s to 2023 is a testament to the sport’s adaptability and the influence of technology. What was once a simple and patient pursuit has transformed into a high-tech, data-driven activity. While the core principles of carp fishing remain unchanged – the thrill of the hunt, the challenge of outsmarting a wary carp – the tools and tactics available to anglers today have elevated the sport to new heights. As we continue into the future, it will be fascinating to see how technology further shapes the landscape of carp fishing. In my perspective, the evolution of carp fishing has undeniably been for the better. Despite the increased number of anglers in recent times and the associated costs related to syndicate memberships, tackle, and more, the infusion of technology and advanced advice has remarkably enhanced the overall experience. What’s noteworthy is that these advancements are now accessible to a broader audience, amplifying the positive impact on both the sport and individuals’ mental well-being. until next time Richard
