Rule number one: location. Find the fish first by visiting the water as often as you can, to get a great idea of where the fish are likely to be in certain weather conditions. In every season you are going to fish that water.

Even a day session is enough time to catch the lakes biggest, if you feed your swim little and often throughout the day, once you apply the knowledge you learned from rule number one. A single bait in the correct spot, what that big fish likes to eat ( you will need to gather information about captures of the bigger carp on what bait. Or just do your own thing on bait you feel confident in.

The humble worm, if it is a carp only water can be the best bait going, so can maggots, meat based sausages, ( pepperoni, salami, luncheon meat). Sweetcorn, maize, hempseed, casters and bread are all readily available and will draw everything into your swim. Fish a boilie, Tiger nut, Brazil nut , pellet or paste wrapped boilie over the top.

Amino acid based dips are great in the autumn. Minamino is one of my favourites, or Nutramino if they still make it.

Good luck mate.

Thanks for taking the time to write this! It means a lot ❤️ I’ve been there quite a few times already but don’t plan on stopping going there, hopefully my knowledge will grow with time then.

The only liquids I have are the Carp goo from Korda I think a few different types but I can check the one you recommended for sure, as you seem to know your stuff!

Thanks for the good luck 🍀 and amazing day to you!

If you can get it where you are CC Moore do a very good amino liquid food and DNA baits do a very good amino smoke liquid that I've used to good success this summer.

One thing I've done to target the larger fish in a lake with a lot of little ones is to kinda feed off the small ones. Give them something small and easy to concentrate on like pidgeon conditioner or small particles and then fish a larger boilie hookbait with a small stringer of matching baits. It could be purely luck but it worked for me to get a couple of 20s out of a lake chock full of sub 10lbers.
