fishing in amesbury

High guys.well i have been fishing for a short time now but,i am getting quit good at carping.(if i do say so myself). The one thing i have learned in my short time of angling is that there are so many rigs and set ups,that it is almost impossible to know them all...i think it almost as much as chance than anything else.i have used boilies,spam(i mean lunchean meat).but i suppose it is true what i was told,,BRIGHT AND SMELLY wins the day and nothing beats my home made hooking bait..so when all else fails..you got it..sardine and bread dyed with yellow food colouring ground bait with small spams.and curried hook bait.try it ..dare ya
