Hi all, thanks very much for the information regarding rigs etc. I am fortunate enough to live very close to the river and have fished it extensively for pike from my boat so I know the area very well. There are carp in numbers in most of the areas where I intend to bivvy up from but the biggest problem is the bream, there's thousands of the things! I guess I will just have to try bigger baits and try to fish through them..........
Thanks again
Rob...
