CARPERS AND CATFISHERMEN ONLY PLEASE NO NODDYS 3" SILVER FISH DONT DO IT FOR ME SORRY .

Hey uk carpers i thought i would make a thread for all of use to share info on rigs,bait, and top places to go fishing over the uk and the eu .

2012 is nearly here and ive been looking for a Syndicate or two to join
Ive got my name down on 3 and hope i get in to the first 1 on my list the other 2 are just back up .
I realy wanted to join Acton Burnell in shropshire but nun of my buddies are willing to part with the £1200 a year fee due to the silly rules on the late .
I will be fishing a handfull of day ticket waters next yr all over the uk and will be going to the ebro again 2 or 3 times .

Today i spent the morning tieing some rigs ready for next year

heres a photo of 1 of my blowback rigs

korda widegape (6) Korda's superb new N-Trap hooklink material and a korda sleve.

BAIT



Used to be called Sugar Pops before sugar was a bad word. I pick out the biggest ones for fishing and eat the rest.

We make homemade dough from cooked rice, wheat germ and molasses. The wheat germ floats in the molasses cloud and the rice settles on the bottom with the bait. The rice and wheat germ take on the smell and taste of the molasses and the cloud lasts longer, attracting more fish.

ive used cereal before when fishing for carp on the top i used sugar puffs , put 4 or 5 on a long hair .

Im going to get new rods in the new yr as the new waters i will be fishing are alot bigger than i normaly fish so i will be casting bigger pva bags and sticks .

Not sure what rods to go for yet most likey i will get centurys .

atm i have century fatboy slims 2& 3/4 tc they are very light action rods great for pools under 4 acres .

my reels are daiwa infinity 5000 brs and alarms are delkims txi

heres a photo from when i was at a old pool back in the summer .



I only managed to land the one carp over the 72h fished
