Creating feeding spot for carp to lure cats.

In my opinion you are only going to lure the smaller Cats to that spot. It seems like the bigger manne does not like this feeding commotion by the smaller Carp and move away, maybe sensing danger to follow.

Agree with skuim. The feed will attract a large amount of small fish. Big cats hate commotion. Yoiu will get the odd one coming in for a quick snack but you will be scaring them off 9 times out 10. This may irritate a coiuple of carp guys, but one of the things I enjoy about our target iss the fact you have to work for your fish, gives yoiu a much greater sense of satifaction to land a fish you have sppent days on. Rather than feed and wait for him to come to you you have to use a lot $ore effort. Brilliant way to spend your time.

Like I said, comment going to irritate people, lol. There is an art to catching big carp constantly, just as much as there with barbel. I fish shongweni with specimen carp guys, they go through a lot to get there fish out, and decent fish at that.

This is one way to be pestered by those 1-2.5 kg cats all day long...big cats grow big because they are "streetwise" lol.

GC I can see that you are itching to get into a 15 plus kg fish, I also went through a stage when I first started going for big cats of trying a thousand different schemes to try get fish.

A tip that I wished I used earlier is Keep It Simple

-Big Bait=Big Fish
-Big tackle- min 8/0 hooks,50 lb braid(dep on struct),I prefer circles hooks
-Keep it quiet , avoid noise , lights etc
-Find structure,if not start one rod deep ,another one close - work from there
-Have a few different baits , I usually start with a "day old bomb" of 3 or 4 day olds on a 10/0, catch the 1st carp and then send out the head, and a thick fillet on rod 3.

Hopefully I can make it to a team catfish social next year , looking forward to meeting and learning more from the guys.


Lastly Im also going to step on a few toes but I cant find any joy in carp fishing ...for me its just a neccesary evil to catch bait lol
