resistant to the attentions
of nuisance fish, and carp
although the carp are still very
active, the areas they are likely
to feed in can be narrowed
down dramatically compared
to the summer, they are much
more active at night, so stay up
late, listen to where they are,
and be prepared to move even
in the hours of darkness. If
you’re on them, simple tactics
such as the p.v.a bags, or a
spread of boilies is often all
that is needed to catch them,
but if your not on them the
reality is you’re never going to
catch them!.

If I had just one bait to use

tiger nut!
When it comes to preparing
tigers, I’ve tried various
different
additives
and
sweeteners over the years,
but these days I just soak
them in water for 48 hours and
then boil for roughly an hour
depending on the average
size of the nuts. A tiger nut is
naturally super attractive to
a c a r p , a n d a l w a y s w i l l b e, s o
I have come to the conclusion
t h a t t h e r e ’s s i m p l y n o n e e d
to try and enhance them in
a n y w a y.
