For a few years now i have had my eye on a few carp in a local water, on warm hot days i have always managed to find them in a treelined corner of the lake.
I haven't fished for them for the simple reason i thought they were on the whole low to mid doubles.....today i had the shock of my life!! three fish appeared that i would put at mid twenty to possibly 30lb, exeptional fish for this area.
I had them taking floaters today, but only very cautiously so i didn't get the rod out of the van, obviously i am going to perservere with the floaters but i am also going to bottom fish at times.
I have my own ideas on how i want to fish but i would be very interested to hear other comments on carp that have not seen it all.
The water is generally deep but the corner i have found the fish in is from 1ft to 8ft before dropping off into deeper water.
The bottom is covered with that rig clogging filametous bottom weed that thrives in very clear water.
Anyone care to comment how they would tackle it?
