Fingers crossed March we will be allowed to do nights again...


What's everyone's choice of tactics this spring ? I'm gonna go back to solid PVA bag fishing and zigs

Stay at home. Protect the NHS will be my tactics.
Each to their own though.

When I get to go (didn't happen last year).

Find them

Feed them a little bit

Catch them

(But probably blank)

But then I only fish days anyway so no point in pilling in 10kg of bait for an 8 hour session (IMO obviously others will disagree).

Funnily enough, I find no need what so ever to do nights in Spring - all day fishing and my approach centres on fishing just hook baits and zigs on the right waters. Location is probably the key thing to focus on. I certainly don't put much if any bait out, unless of course I'm on a runs water. Often catch my biggest carp in the Spring too.

Just fishing daytime (short sessions) over the past few weeks has been great. I really miss the overnighters tho as I loved the quiet and hoping I'll be able to have a few of those into the spring summer.

However, it's made me work harder on location. I've put more effort into making great bait and applying it with thought. And I've caught some crackers out of my local water.

I'm looking forward to getting back to some surface fishing and more stalking in the spring. My favourite kind of carping.

On the canal it will be 10/15 kilos of particles and massive pva bags dropped in the edges over the particles and it works for me,they come into the edges during the night or early hours of the morning works a treat.

I really don't enjoy days only fishing I much prefer longer sessions infact I haven't bothered going fishing while it's been days only I don't do anything less than a 48hr these days, I do two 48hr sessions a month then every know and then I do much longer sessions upto 5 days and nights a couple times a year
