Guys.
I'm fishing a deep gravel pit were its impossible to see the carps reaction to baited spots, or whereabouts. I'm catching off the top ok, but soon that will end and I'm back to bottom bait fishing.
I'm baiting a few spots around the margins, but have not seen the fish clouding up the water at all. Any thoughts or am I doing the right things, baiting spots and fishing in rotation. The lake is small, but has a good amount of carp in it for the size.

How about fishing where they show
I will add that you have to think about the time of year as well.
I fish a 20 acre lake with depths to 70 ft and most is over 30ft.
They will show you where they are.
Good luck.

I totally agree. Regardless of depth they will show. Fish where the carp are

Just fish it like any other normal lake.
Walk the water as much as possible, look & listen on the end of any good/strong winds for shows, and watch for discreet bubblers in the calmer areas, back of the wind, etc.
You will find them.

Hi Richard
Try and get a picture of the pit before it was flooded. You will be able to see the old roadways they used to get the gravel out especially if it's like the depths you're describing. I've found roving carp tend to patrol these sunken roadways. My thoughts are they are collectors of natural food in what can be otherwise a baron featureless environment.
I've done quite well off them personally
Hope it helps
Best
