BIG WINTER CARP!! Keep reading…

Christmas is around the corner and temperatures are dropping 🥶 but for those brave enough to embrace the cold there are mega opportunities to be had. Water temps are un seasonally low right now and it has slowed down a lot of productive lakes across the UK. That doesn’t mean the carp have completely switched off but it does mean staying motivated and getting out on the bank is a little more difficult. Here’s some things to do to keep you comfortable and motivated over the winter ❄️ 

Layer up with thermal layers to stay warm. A warm angler is a happy angler so don’t be rocking up in your shorts and a body warmer if the sun happens to be out on your way to the lake 🤣 ☀️ 

Bring a flask filled with a hot drink. Nothing beats a hot brew if you’re down for a day session and don’t have room for the stove and kettle.

Invest in a comfortable chair and bedchair to make those long hours more comfortable. Those low riders are not the one in the winter get yourself a nice armchair you’ll thank yourself you did. 

Adjust your tactics for colder waters. Try slow-sinking baits and consider scaling down your gear.

Winter landscapes can be EPIC. Take a moment to appreciate it and get the camera out, you’ll have plenty of spare time whilst blanking 🤪

Early Birds Catch More, carp tend to be more active during the warmer parts of the day. Rise with the sun, keep your eyes on the water and DONT ignore the shallows! They will often show up there in the winter 

Winter carping may be cold, but the rewards are worth it! And the banks are quiet 🤫 

What would be your best tip for winter carping?
