Comments on: Placing your carp baits by wading… dead accurate! http://www.questbaits.com/blog/wading-and-bait-placement/ Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:18:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Carl 'Dogs' Bullock http://www.questbaits.com/blog/wading-and-bait-placement/comment-page-1/#comment-797 Carl 'Dogs' Bullock Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:06:29 +0000 http://www.questbaits.com/blog/?p=443#comment-797 I've used the wadingmethod loads of times in the past and to great effect. It's amazing what you can learn from it, like Shaun says depressions, firm spots, soft spots and even small patches of weed can go undiscovered with a marker. I have mainly used it on harder waters where you want to be certain that absoluteley everything is spot on, as you may only get one chance all year. Placing the bait by hand gives you superb confidence on places like that. Can't emphasise enough though about the landing net handle or long storm stick for support. I even use it to make a little trough to bury my leader. Which is even more important on rig shy waters. Nice piece again Paul.

Wading my baits out and simply wading around feeling the bottom of the lake with my feet are both very important methods in my armoury. When allowed I love to wade the margins. It's amazing how many soft spots and firm spots as well as tiny depressions usually caused by feeding carp which can be found but not noticed from the bank. Chest waders are an essential part of my armoury but as you rightly say - be careful and make sure you have a prodding/support pole with you. Hi Paul,
