Hi all,
I have just branched out from trout pike and coarse to carp, well they arwe out their on their own, i fished a pond last week with the pole, had 40-50 small cap to a pound but had over 20 good tench from 2 to over just might i add 5 pound..It;s stiff with fish but as novice othe pole could not get to the reallt good carp at all, the pond hold s bream to 13lb carp to 4, roach to 4 and tench to 6..there are also a lot of skimmers and some small perch present. the first ledge is 5 foot deep then it drops to 10 and up to 5 again before an island that stretches right through the centre of the lake.what set up would u use in these conditions to catch bigger carp, i pulled out of a few big fish as i couldn't control them on the pole..Groundbait is banned as is legering, it's a float only fishery..How would u rig the pole up..
Any help at all would be useful, i hadn't got a fish till i went to a 1 gram float and 2 number 10's,,as the fish could feel the float i was told..baits were luncheon meat and paste, i had maggots and corn and casters and worms but these two baits were the best .. i also loose fed with carp pellets.
