clegg Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi peeps I've had enough now of waiting to go fishing for carp, basically where I live the weather is getting better getting upto about 12 degrees Celsius. I'm going to fish at shearwater lake which is very big and very deep and probably going to spend a night there, does anyone have any tips apart from wrapping up warm? Is it worth me going or is it a bit crazy fishing in feb?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobleyn Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Can't catch em on the setee! Sometimes it's just about being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearbo Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Had two and lost one last weekend. It was blowing like hell and i loved it. Was only catching 2 or 3 a day last summer, they were having it, be it february or not. And a bad days blanking is better than a good days work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inhiding Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I went a couple of weeks ago temp was about 5 deg fully expecting to blank ... Fishing buddy pulled out a lovely high teen common and although I didn't catch carp I was the king of bream ... There are fish to be caught .. Use a good winter bait ( there's a thread on here somewhere but I'm on my phone and it's a bit tricky to link to it ) chilli is your friend IMO . And ideally take someone like me with you distract the bream from your hook bait so u can find the carp I'm out again on Sunday ( his turn to be on bream duty ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clegg Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well I was thinking about just fishing cell boilies with a few pva bags of cell pellets maybe a method feeder, I got shed loads of hemp and maize to start cooking up but was thinking of saving the maize for spring time. Also gona try 1 rod on a zig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inhiding Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 My buddy scored on a pellet ( halibut ) jazzed with some chilli corn on a longish hair bottom bait rig with a small pva mesh with a strongly flavoured mix. Can't help you with the zig ive not had much joy there myself although they do have results for others apparently Compare notes after the weekend ?

clegg Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Won't be going this weekend mate,me and the missus are going away maybe the weekend after, I might cook up some hemp and just add some chilli with it. Does anyone know a good fizzing/floating groundbait? I'm gonna try it with my zig rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
