Let’s start by firstly establishing what a boilie is; most of you know, but many readers who are new to the sport may not. Boilie is the universally known word for describing a pastebait that has been boiled to create a tough outer skin. By boiling the paste it makes it much harder for smaller species to eat them, thus increasing the chances of carp eating them. In this piece I have come up with ten tips and tricks that can be used with boilies of all descriptions in order to help give you that much needed edge.(more…)
This is one of the things I seem to be most interested in when I talk about catches that other anglers have had. I would say 70% of the anglers on the waters I fish are doing overnighters.. This means arriving at 18.00 in the evening and fishing until 09.00 in the morning.
What I hear a lot is that they are not confident in fishing the days, because the fishfeed at night, and not during daytime. Well, in my view some of this is true, they tend to catch fish during the evening, night and morning. But I would never overlook the hours of daylight. I hardly fish overnighters anymore because I catch my fish with no problem during daytime. But a lot of anglers cant get there heads around fishing daytime only. Is it a confidence thing?(more…)
