Sporting Addictions: Carp Fishing Rods
Carp fishing is a very enjoyable past-time because these fish are rather intelligent and often suspicious of anything put in front of them. However, with some cunning, you can entice carp and fool them into being hooked. Here are just some useful tips to assist you when carp fishing:-
- Bring boilies based on fishmeal in the finer weather (summer and autumn), and dabble with half-half mixes or even bird food types of bait during the winter and spring
- For particile baits, add a big quantity of salt, especially the cooked types like hemp, maize, tares, beans, partiblend seeds, maple peas and chick peas. The carp love salty foods. As a rough guide, mix a single tablespoon of salt to 5 litres dry particles. These are also cost-effective and will save you money on baits!
- Try mixing chillies to particle baits. The carp fish seem to savour that fiery “kick” from those spices. Roughly, mix a couple of tablespoons to 5 litres of particles.
- Lastly, make sure you have the right fishing gear with you. Research what you should bring online. You can find all kinds of things online, such as carp fishing rods – and ensure you enjoy the time you spend by the river!
