linus1234 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hello i have been carp fishing now 7 times and caught 3 carp before so i have a bit of knowledge but at the 7 sessions i was at a fishery and i didnt catch anything. I tried popups and bottom baits and also spodding and only pva bags and also changed the colours but still no bites? Dies anybody maybe have some tips or something? thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just keep going and keep watching the water, if you want to become a better angler get watching reading and learning, YouTube has so many decent videos to watch, you can learn things all the time which will help, look at the Carl and Alex tutorials they will help you get better greekskii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekskii Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 The most important part of carp fishing, or any fishing really, you need to be where the fish are. Finding the fish and fishing for them where they are is always key. You also need to think about presentation, are your rigs effective or not? What’s the bottom like? no point fishing a bottom bait in dense weed. baiting approach - smashing a spod over fish that move off the noise is pointless. Maybe a catapult or throwing stick to introduce bait. Some waters they will be attracted to a spomb, others it’s the kiss of death and they’ll not come back. How much bait you use, unless the fish are really having it off feeding id always start off with a little. You can’t take out what you’ve put in as the saying goes. This needs to be based around stock levels and other species too. Venue choice, chose somewhere with high stocking levels so you have a chance of catching more regularly as you’ll be able to learn quicker all aspects of carp fishing. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus1234 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hey thank you for your answer! so the fishery seems to be very hard and people are not catching much but i can change the venue on monday again so i will see then. and when the stock level is low should i feed more or less and when its weedy is a pva bag with a pop up okay?

elmoputney Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 What water have you been fishing maybe someone will know about it? There is no right or wrong to how much you should or shouldn't feed, we will all tell you different answers tbh, depends how long you are fishing for and what the stock is like and whether they will be in the mood to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a series of reservoirs which are pretty much exposed to the elements and look rather daunting to me. I'd suggest that you find a smaller, more intimate, water to fish whilst you're establishing a learning curve. Good luck. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
