hi all, Its that time again, long nights, cold feet and no fish. I cant say that im a good winter angler. Dont get me wrong every winter im there on the bank freezing me t**s of the same as a lot of other guys. What im after is some ideas i can work on to improve my catch rate during these dark and dismal nights to come.
many thanks for any replys
and tight lines.

Joking apart as we all know the carps metabolism slows down and the need to feed is minimul, I would suggest crushed boilies in a pva stocking, cast to the silty areas of your chosen venue. also dying weed beds and lily's are worth putting a bait to.

Dave just do the same as what you did when you caught the 13 fish from 1pole but just try using your chosen hook in size 8 or 10 mate Nutlee

Thanks for the advice, especially about a nice warm padded bra? not sure how you would know about that alan but the less said the better[bivvy pregnant dog springs to mind].
nuts lee dougt i'll have a hit like that for a long time to come, well not to long i hope.
I know its not winter yet as such but when it does arrive i was thinking of not using bollies maybe going on to maggots, casters or very small baits.
i must disagree on hook size though, i would use a hook size according to bait size ,i still think a bigger hook can still be affective when carp pick your bait up in the colder months......what do you think?.
