The river Weaver

I am planning on doing a few carp sessions on the river weaver this winter after witnessing a few during some matches i fished last year. What is the best way of fishing? i.e. pop ups or bottom baits even corn & meat. Also near or far bank?
I'm going to start on the boatyard (any comments)?

Thanks for your time!

The boatyard is probably the best place to start. when I dabbled at carp fishing we used to catch loads from there fishing tight to the boats and in the channel that leads into the marina.

We actually found, sweetcorn and bread caught us more fish than bolies but then again it was about 8 years ago and there were only a handfull of lads carp fishing it then so I'm sure they are switched on to boilies now.

a lot of match angler though still fish corn for the tench and bream so it may well be worth trying one rod on popped up maize over a bed of the stuff.

sounds like the boatyard is going to be busy again this year!....gary has hit the nail on the head there steven,tight accross to the boats is the place to be,boilies are taking a lot of fish from there these days,a word of warning though....bring plenty of leads and hooklinks,because it's snaggy as hell!.
keep an eye out for the two scousers who fish there on non-match saturdays throughout the winter months.....if you see them......come and say hello......lol
cheers mark.

A saturday on the weaver without a match,you'll be lucky ;)Mark is right about it being snaggy, when it used to be full of boats, the boat owners used to throw things over the side. rolled up carpets bits or barb wire fencing buckets full of cement with wire in. Last season my mate touched the side of a boat with a boilie OK it was fired from a catapult. The women on the boat thought he was trying to sink it or somthing and popped up with a camera took his photograph then disapeared again. Oh the joys.

I had to send the hired help out to clear the frost this morning.
I then froze my bits off on the river all day.
Oh well, I'll have to go again tomorrow and try to acclimatize myself to it.

i'm surprised you've ever seen the white stuff darn sarf rik,we only see snow ourselves once or twice throughout the winter.
our hammered northern doubles are at least 'true' winter carp...lol

i could do with a bit more fishing too mate,i'll take the next job after cakey,just as long as i can work from up north.
ps,seeing as this thread is about the weaver.....thats a weaver fish from the boats,caught last january.
cheers mark.
