Hi. Just joined the site.
I'm new to the carp game (started in the summer). I used to do alot of see fishing off the rocks when I was a kid. Due to an op on my feet I had to find a new hobby to get me out and about. I went down to my local park and started catching roach, tench and small carp. The carp slowly got bigger and now I'm hooked!!
I joined a fishing club in the summer (T.W.A.P.S) and have been slowly learning how to catch carp. This will be my first winter coarse fishing and was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on catching carp in the colder waters?
I went yesterday and there was no movement in the water or reeds all day, not even a nibble. Saying that I did catch a nice 8lb leather about 3ish. Apart from that (which made the day) there didnt seem to be any sign of life.
While fishing for carp in the cold water what bait is best? Fish on the top, near the top or off the bottom? Near to the bank, close to the reeds or in the middle of the lake?
Sorry for all the questions but like I said I'm newish to carp fishing and would like to learn more.
Cheers for any help.
