Going to fish for like 3 hours on sunday morning. its a private dam, VERY VERY muddy, and stacked with carp, barbel. I just want to catch a fish! can be barbel or carp... whats more likely to chow at 6-9 in the morning? You see alot of movment in the shallows... i mean everywhere! i've tried pegging them with speers before cuz there are so many in the shallows. (no offence i hope)

1. Are these fish, barbel and carp, neccesarily feeding, or just stuffing around? (technaically speaking, haha)

2.its a very shallow dam... with clay muddy bottoms. I was planing on taking a 4.0 gamakatsu bass hook and putting on a mossie then just casting like 20meters into the open.... with a little weight... think this will work?

Uhm stick to the smelly naits to start if the dam is small then the fish are most likely to be smaller too.
Chicken Livers/ox heart/ Sardines etc

Deisel .... A gguy I met recently told he uses a float(piece of foam) with the carp head to lift it slightly off the bottom. He said that with 10 minutes of casting he was on ... every cast.

Your thoughts?

hey sidd my mate, i have done that and still do it works very very very well, espcially if the bottom is covered in silt and the bait may slighty sink into it, so by all means give it a bash and even better, i got surfboard foam that really does the trick

oh and to add, it really works well with bigger heads as that crappy red foam doesnt float all to well i normally stuff a piece in the mouth all the way through to the belly section were i have cut it off

Try looking at what frogs are around there, there would probably be some red toads and stream frogs, this would be primary foods, but like everybody said, platties and fish headies should do the trick.

Just for the interest of it, we had this little dam on the farm and when the fish were so active we just took a float with a piece of bait and threw it in kurper style, we had very much success.

Happy fishing, let us know what worked and the results
