Spring has got to be one of the best times of the year to be out on the bank carp fishing. The long dark days of winter are behind us and each day the hours of daylight increases rapidly and the carp are starting to wake up from their winter hibernation. This is the time of the year, when the...

You can cut the leader to whatever length you...
I'm going to quickly talk to you about one of my favourite ways of catching carp, and that's being able to watch them in the edge and stalk them. I've found that particularly on smaller shallower lakes, it doesn't take a lot for the water to warm up and when it does those fish will actively be searching out the...
This is my next top tip; how to enhance your Tiger Nut hookbaits. Firstly, I take my ready prepared Tiger Nuts into my empty pot and fill it about halfway. Next I take some full fat Coco-cola, tip a little bit of that in. Next, a tin of Red Bull and add the same amount of that as well, just...
