Get your mixers out!!
July 29th, 2008
It’s that time of year again when the carp are up in the water and it’s now that it’s possible to get them going on surface baits, one of the most exciting but frustrating methods of carp fishing.
I did my 1st bit of surface fishing of the year on Sunday at a little lake just outside Market Harborough, which turned out to be good fun as always. I managed to bank 6 carp including a few of nice little ghosties during the period of the afternoon, nothing big but it was exciting fishing once I managed to get the fish feeding confidently, I even had them taking floating pellets later in the evening during the rain. The setup I used was an ESP controller float, a Korda anti tangle sleeve, with my mainline attached to a swivel followed by another anti tangle sleeve, Drennan Double Strength mono and a size 10 Kamasan hook tied as a hair rig. I will definitely be having a few more surface sessions in the near future but will be targeting a few different waters with some bigger fish.
If you haven’t already I would suggest picking up some floating pellets or dog biscuits and heading down to your local for a spot of surface fishing, you can’t beat it!!
Cheers
David
