change of tactics?

[RHK_888]

Would i need to change my carp fishing tactics due to the coming of winter?

Hi there, in the winter I normally use more flavour on the bomb and still combine fruit or sweet flavours wih the stronger flavours like TCP, Garlic or Duiwels.

I tend to go more with mielies and let the bait lie much longer than in the summer.

Winter time = Biger Carp.

I tend to use smaller wieghts, baits and less dip on the bol.
The fish isnt really that active in the winter, but in the vaaldam they are constantly on the bite.
I use Bunspice and Perdeby in the winter with great success.

Smaller bait and less grounds feed. With stronger dips and more there of.

I normaly angel a lot of Gatvol and almond.

you took the words outa my mouf.. Long time no smell AMG1

yes .. fish metabolism decreases due to colder water.. this means that you should use less ground bait.. but i agreee with the stronger TCP and ALMOND and Duiwels D

At Koppies last year we caught a lot of fish in big floaties wrapped in garlic/almond dough. 2 Mielies dipped in molasses also did the trick. Lucky for the us, our winters don't get as cold as it does in Europe so we are almost always going to catch fish.

During our clubcomps at the vaal, we use smaller baits on smaller hooks. one floatie on a hook with a small dough or bread backing. This weekend at the clinic Enigma showed me the rice-kernel size dough on the top hook technique and it worked like a bomb.

Fish as "light" as possible.

Small baits, bom, rigs and smaller amounts of dip. If you put a line of let's say Almond S on the ball during summer. Only put 1/2 a line on the ball in winter.

Naruto, kan jy dalk soos met jou bait presentations vir ons die floatie met deeg wrap dalk wys en die rice-kernel size dough dmv 'n foto of twee asb.

Die floatie het ek net a dun laag deeg oor gesit, soos n laagie sjokolade om n peanut, lol.

Hier is n post waar Enigma mooi fotos geneem het van hoe hy muddies vang.

I cant see the pics, did someone maybe save it locally? You might then be able to email me the pics

Thanks to Enigma for taking pics during a comp:

Dit is klein lol, nie gedink mens sal so klein presentation kan doen en iets daarmee vang nie. Ek sal dalk moet gaan vir 'n sterker bril

 

[Naruto]

Toema, ek kon ook nie glo die vis byt op sulke klein aas nie. Enigma het ook die naweek gese dat hul hul al skoon hoeke in die bom gesit het en so vis gevang het.

 

[ChriDry]

Ek gaan dit defintief probeer.

 

[PI]

Holy !@#_+*&.that is small. Its definitely hard times..

 

[AMG1]

Dit werk soos n bom. Ons hengel nog kleiner deeg as ons muddies target. LMGA moet se die eerste paar keer het dit my baie lank gevat om aas aand die hoek te kry.

 

[ASG]

LOL... Ek ook AMG1.

Nou gebruik ek maar n inspuiting om my degies op die hoek te kry.

n Ander manier is om die hoek nat te maak, dip hom in meel, maak weer net, dip hom weer en so aan tot jy n dun laag deeg op die hoek het.:fishn

was at tago this weekend and floaties didnt work at all... all we used was plain mielie bom and sweet corn... worked like a charm... biggest came in at 4.8kg smallest was just under a kilo... an awesome weekend all in all
