Here is a scenario I see time and time again wherever I fish. Carp anglers find a spot they like the feel of with their marker floats, like a gravel patch or a gap in weed. Then they check out the actual condition of the bottom of the lake around their markerfloat by casting their actual fishing rods, rigs and all, to the spot they have identified. Then they pull back - with the rigs they are about to bait up with, all along the bottom. Why would anyone do that? (more…)
One of the most productive methods for multiple captures of any species of fish, is by accurate presentation of both loose feed, boilies and the hookbait to a small area in open water.The first task is to locate a possible feeding area that is within casting distance, to present a carpet of feed and your hookbait. The requirements for this are:
1) A markerrod,
2) A spod rod
3) 2, 3 or 4 Fishing rods.
The first rod that you should use is the markerrod which can find the depth of water, the contours of the lake bed and the texture of the make up of the lake bed. Once a fishingspot is located, allow the float to rise to the surface and pick a point on the skyline that the float is lined up with. Either record this or memorise the location. Wind the line back until you feel the marker hit the lead on the line, so that the marker is now on the lake bottom. Mark up the main line of the markerrod, at the butt ring of the rod with electrical tape or pole elastic. Once you are happy that it is properly marked, reel in the line.
Our next step is to mark up the spod rod and the fishing rods for that that baited area. (more…)
by Shaun Harrision Following on from my previous blog regarding stopping the bite alarms constantly bleeping in a big wind I would like to share another little method I have developed since I wrote the last bit.
This has all come about since joining a large deep clay pit in Cambridgeshire. I have never fished anywhere before that gets so windy so often. It’s as though it has its own mini climate. The drive to the pit will often see barely a rustle in the trees but once there white caps can often be seen with huge waves breaking over the bank on the prevailing wind. (more…)
