Ok.. Im sure a few of you have thought about this before and maybe it has been discussed before, but Im going to ask anyway..
The scenario is that youre fishing a tricky water where the carp dont come out very often, to anyone.. Youve had a few fish out, but you feel like you could/should be catching more.. When and what do you change something..?
Obviously the reluctancy to change everything is huge, as youve had a few fish out already, but how do you know that you would have caught more if you did something different, or indeed caught less..
i.e. change rig.. change bait.. change loose feed habits.. there are a million things to change of course, but how do you know that if you change your bait, you will catch more or less.. you could be fishing originally with the bait the carp like the most, you've done well to catch the fish you have, and you wouldnt have caught any more.. alternatively, you could have been fishing with just an ok bait.. but you then change to the best bait for those fish.. but you dont catch because the fish just wernt playing ball or you wernt in the right spot or any of the hundreds of equations there are..
In summary, if i was to change what bait i fished with.. should i go all out and change completely, or just some of the time.. how long should i give it..
lifes unanaswerable questions im sure.. but thats fishing..
