Trip 8 Carp Fishing – 2022


With a few hour’s free today, I quickly sorted out my kit and headed down the club lake. On a lovely sunny day, it’s looking perfect and with any luck, these carp would be on the move a bit more.

First Swim

There were two other cars in the car park, one guy was fishing down the car park end and the other in the middle part of the lake. It looked like I would be starting down the island end and then moving on at around 1130 am for the last couple of hours. I do like this spot, it gives you an amazing view of the lake and a good chance to spot showing carp.

I spotted a carp stick its head out, way along the margins to my left, I just had to move. It was where I’d scattered a bit of bait out when I arrived and took a walkabout.

Second swim

I flicked out the rods on the spot, and before I could get the bobbin on the middle rod, it was away! With a very scrappy mirror that just wouldn’t give up the fight.

Small mirror

Once things had settled down, I scattered a few crushed boilies about, sat back and soaked up the sun.

It was quarter to one and the rod which was on the spot I’d seen the carp hadn’t twitch one bit. I was loathed to move again, but after seeing a carp of the end of the island, it had to be worth a go. I could still just about get my left-hand rod onto the previous swim spot, with a little flick over a bush. I could also put a bait in one of the other spots I originally started in.

Swim Three

This felt like the best opportunity to give me another chance of a carp on the bank.

Just after one fifteen, I lost a carp to a snag on my left-hand rod. Everything came back except the hook bait; I had to pull for a break as it was locked solid. I recast the rod a little more to the left, in the hope of avoiding the same situation again

I gave it until two-thirty, I had a few things to get sorted for my coming few nights on the syndicate water this week. It’s certainly felt like spring today. Unfortunately, in the coming few days, it looks like we are heading back into winter. It’s very enjoyable sitting soaking up the sunshine.

Until next time

Things Go Wrong


Today would have been the first day of something extremely special.

Not to be

Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. It’s not really worth going into too much detail, but the government’s re-wilding projects put pay to this. Not sure how the country can afford it, considering the situation we are all in.

I feel very sorry for the man who set it up and no doubt lost money in the process.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime venue, and I’m truly grateful for the invitation to fish there, and it’s a shame I never wet a line.

You never know what will happen in the future; the world owes me one.

Sad day.

With the quieter banks in winter


With the quieter banks in winter it’s a great time to put in a few hours mapping out your local lakes. 🗺️ With just your Deeper, Spod rod set-up and mobile phone you can really get a feel for what’s going on down there whilst noting all those likely looking spots ready for your spring campaign! 🐟 It’s well worth getting yourself ahead of the pack!

Description

Sweetcorn is one of the best carp baits of all time, so we wanted to utilise this awesome attractive power and put it into a range of boilies. The base mix is packed with corn and milled peanut then it has been loaded with CSL blended with tiger nut extract and sweet spices.

A deep yellow boilie which stands out without being too blatant to pressure carp, you can see them working as they begin to wash out as soon as they are submerged, pumping out attraction into the area! The digestible nature of these baits makes them perfect for year round use.

These boilies have now been crumbed for your convenience. We’ve put the standard shelf life boilies through a crumb machine, and have packed them in resealable 1kg pouches. A great addition to your carp fishing.
