Large river systems are not easy to fish


Large river systems are not easy to fish – fast riffles and unexpectedly deep pools may seem daunting, especially when it’s your first time there. 🤔 At the same time such systems hold ample choice of species in good numbers!
AJ from Deeper marketing team recently fished Dunajec river in Vistula basin for the first time. Expecting to catch trout in small streams he ended up facing this massive river with a tiny ultralight rod – at first, he was overwhelmed. 😳 But it took only four casts until he saw that tiny rod bend and a beautiful spotted rocket got into his landing net. A quick pic and back to the water! From that moment it was ON! 🤘 The trout were actively feeding despite it being almost midday – it was an amazing session!
What’s the largest river system you ever fished? How did it go? Let us know in the comments below!

10 Winter Carp Fishing Tips


Winter fishing can be hard work for the everyday angler.  I am a firm believer that the more you are at the lake, either fishing or just walking round Summer or Winter.  This surely has to help you catch more fish.  However, this is made harder in the Winter due to the shorter days.  The average angler (like myself), who has a full time office job, has no chance to get out around the lake, as I would normaly do in the Spring.  In the Summer months I only tend to fish a quick night (12hr session), there is not a lot of time to spot any signs of fish and by using the below tips, I have found it a great help over the Winter months.

Winter Tips

  • Walk around the lake as much as possible (if you can)
  • Sharp hooks (all year round rule)
  • Location, Location, Location (all year round tip)
  • Not too much bait
  • Keep a dairy of previous year’s results/location
  • Fish over dead pads
  • Fish by snags
  • Fish near reeds beds
  • Keep away from those cold easterly winds
  • Get friendly with a fellow member who fishes during the day (pool your information)
  • Keep your ears on the lake even in the dark, you never know you may hear a fish.
  • Keep your eyes on the water – on clear calm night, you may just spot a fish
  • Less boilies, more stick mix type of baiting up
  • Plenty of attraction, not too much food
  • Tiny amounts of pre-baiting (Small handfuls of bait, scattered around the lake)

The above tips will hopefully help you to keep one step ahead of the rest.  The real hard part I find with Winter fishing is having to set up in the dark & pack up in the dark.

If I am luckly, I may get there just in time to see last light and sometimes I am able to stay till first light.  Even if this means I am pushing the barrow around the lake, I will always keep my eyes and ears open (alert to any fishy sign’s) as this could be the key to a great Winter.

If you are lucky enough to have a friend who also fishes, but preferably not at the same time as you.  You can pool you information/knowledge.

If I am really stuck for options, I sometimes set up a swim which will give me the best view of the lake.  If I wake up in the night, I will put the kettle on and have a brew and watch the lake of an hour. Hard work, however, if you spot that fish. It could make a bad Winter into the best Winter you have ever had.

Till  next time

Life support for air dried freezer


*** Life support for air dried freezer ***🚑
We all have to air dry freezer bait at some point if we travel or with few of us having large chest freezers at home. A sure fire way to deliver the flavour, goodness and attractors back into your boilies is to use our method ready bait soaks. Unlike food dips as these are not glycerine based, they penetrate the boilies quickly rejuvenating colour and aroma. Just squirt all over an hour before you need them on the bank and they will be as good as new.
