A few hints and tips for tackling summer carp;
When fishing the warmer periods in the summer its gets harder to catch carp on most venues.
Natural food sources, less oxygen, lots of weed, competition of other species are a few factors that are responsible for less action and more batteries life.
My personal approach for catching fish in the summer is active fishing. Not just sitting behind the rods and waiting for things to happen, or in a lot of cases don’t happen. Walking around on the hottest moment of the day and look for the fish.
Often you can see them hanging around in the upper layers above weedbeds or hanging around underneath bushes. When you found some fish in a particular area the next thing to do is check out the bottom profile around that spot.
The important question is ….is it fishable?
A lot of weedbeds normally hold fish for instance.. and are in a lot of cases above gravel patches or gravel area’s…perfect for presentation.
