Fishing for carp is a very challenging past-time as these fish are really clever and often suspicious of anything put in front of them. However, with some cunning, you can tempt carp and trick them into being hooked. What follows are just some useful tips to help you when carp fishing:-

Add plenty of salt to particle baits, particularly the cooked ones like hemp, maize, tares, beans, partiblend seeds, maple peas and chick peas. The carp enjoy salty food. As a rough guide, add one tablespoon of salt to 5 litres of dry particles. These are also cost-effective and will save you money on baits!
Try adding spicy chillies to some particle baits. Carp appear to savour that hot “kick” from the spices. As a rough guide, mix 2 tablespoons to 5 litres particles.
When the water is cold such as in the winter, experiment with casting your rigs more often, and target several areas so you can set a hook bait close to the fish. The colder water makes the carp move slower so there’s a lesser opportunity for the fish to swim towards your bait. During warmer months, you can place traps in likely patrolling areas and wait for the carp to find the bait.
Apply several sizes of pellets or particles in the spod mixture. This aids in disorientating the carp, and also gives you the choice to use various sizes of bait.
If possible, try not to use round bait. Numerous fishing lines feature rounded bait, you want to be different. Experiment with squaring up the hook bait with small scissors.
Lastly, make sure you have the right fishing gear with you. Research what you should bring online. You can find all kinds of things online, such as carp fishing rods – and ensure you enjoy the experience
