Use a 12" hook-link with a hook set up that you are confident in and see how it goes. if you aren't getting bites make it longer or shorter and see what works
Also- i would avoid inline leads unless the carp are feeding in the silt
I would recommend the brown fox cortex coated braid for your hook-link choice
You can never really say for certain and you will need to experiment
Ok, thanks alot i will experiment next time i go (saturday) i'll use a bait im confident with (that i now catches) then alter the rig.
there is no gravel bars, the carp tend to accumulate near snaggy areas, im unsure about the silt, i would imagine in and around the silt, casting a heavy lead would cause it to sink in to the silt, and people are catching.
I only use two main rigs, a standard bottom bait rig and a pop up rig, both of which are extremely simple. Should i keep to these or try out new types of rigs, will this improve my chance of catching?
Hi, planning on doing a session on this lake, i have fished before but i often get pestered by bream. I was just wondering if anyone has fished this lake recently, if so can you please give some tips and maybe some information how it is fishing etc... Thanks, Lashy147
