not being a 'carper' myself i am after a little advice if poss.
i fished a pool last night from 7 till 10.30pm spent the first hour introducing bait (dog biscuit) and letting the carp get there confidence up, i started fishing at about 8 ish.
usual story i suppose really, they took everything apart from my biscuit, i had the fish boiling on the surface with fish easily well into double figures and a huge ghost carp that seems to be hoovering up everything.
i managed to hook and land two fish (1 about 6lb and the other 11lb) but there must have been 30 fish milling around of which 6 or 7 were well into double figures
i had a hair rigged a single dog biscuit on a 8lb Korum hair rig, 12 hook, to a 10 lb maxima mainline, free lined about 5 metres out, ( i fished with a controller a few nights ago and i think it spooks them, the only way i could get confident takes was to freeline)
i have heard if you dip your biscuit in marmite this helps
i cannot go down in line diameter because last cast, i got broke off by one of the bigger fish
