Carp fishing for dummies


Carp are the most desired fresh water fish in the UK. The reasons for this are not too hard to understand, because carp quickly grow to a large size, providing us with good chance of coming across a fish of 20 lb and more. Carp also fight harder than any other species of fish which makes the carp fishing experience at times fairly challenging. It is recorder that the largest carp ever caught in Europe was over 90 pounds. I cannot even imagine what a straggle that was. 

Do you know much about carp? Carp is a common freshwater fish which can be found in lakes and rivers throughout our planet. Carp can be traced back for almost two thousand years. Carp are not only found to be living in the wild. For well over a century now people have domesticated carp and have been growing carp in specially built carp farms both for profit and fishing.  

Carp can survive by eating a vegetarian diet of water plants, but they also favour to search for insects, worms and crawfish it is therefore advisable to use natural carp fishing tackle when fishing for carp. But if money is tight and you decide to go for cheap fishing tackle, at least try to chose a reputable carp fishing tackle supplier. 


 Did you know that in many countries and most of Europe carp meat is considered to be a delicacy? Although I can safely say that it is not the case in the UK because we only tend to use carp for carp fishing.  


Carp are not hard to catch when they are stocked in reasonable numbers but sometimes it can be a struggle to get through to a bigger one, let’s say 30 lb and more and it’s even harder to get there by using cheap fishing tackle


When carp fishing in a lake, it is almost certainly best to try to fish in only a couple of swims rather than trying many different areas, because by constantly baiting the same swims with carp fishing tackle you are more likely to catch as many and as consistently as possible, and eventually get through to the bigger carp. Nevertheless, initially do not bait any particular area with carp fishing tackle, instead try to spread some bait in as many corners of the lake as possible so to allow carp to taste the fishing tackle. To achieve the best result, carry on for as long as possible by putting around 3 or 4lb of bait fishing tackle at a time, at least a couple of times a week. After this, select a couple of areas of the lake and continue to bait those areas with carp fishing tackle.  


You should also be wise when selecting cheap fishing tackle. Carp get used to dealing with rigs because they come across them every day. It is therefore advisable to give the carp a bit more confidence by baiting areas with carp bait and let them feed freely. Boilies are an excellent fishing tackle which you can use for big carp fishing, but a cheap fishing tackle like particles and carp pellets are not so much. You should also try to purchase your carp bait from only reputable carp fishing tackle suppliers, because good quality bait fishing tackle will increase your chances of success and will help you catch more often. But, if you really insist on using cheap fishing tackle such as carp rigs, at least try to use the sharpest hook possible. 


Do not be afraid to introduce bait fishing tackle repeatedly. Most carp anglers tend to think that baiting up once a session is enough. On the contrary, carp baiting should be no different to match baiting, therefore next time you are trying to catch the big one, don’t forget to bait your carp a little more often so to improve your carp fishing experience.
