RIGS

CATCH FROM UNDER YOUR FEET

There's plenty of action to be enjoyed in the margins of your
local lake providing you get the basic right.
Catching carp from the margins often results in explosive action.
Try it on your next session.
With this style of fishing you are trying to nick a bite as carp
patrol along the margins past your bait.
So boosting the attraction of your hook bait with a strong-smelling
glug dip will work in your favour.
Best way to feed your margin spot is to use your spod rod with pinpoint
accuracy by simply lowering a loaded spod off your rod tip.This is
especially usefull when baiting up with small baits such as particals.

My Step By Step Fishy Stick Mix.

I use PVA of crushed sardines during the warmer months,especially if i'm
fishing venues that boast a good head of carp.
The PVA sticks are pungent and the carp seem to home in on them as soon
as they hit the water.Crushed sardines and tuna flakes are to me the best
ingredients going to add to the stick mix and try adding some sea salt
and liquid fish sauce.


1. Tip some crushed hemp groundbait into a plastic bag.
2. Add a sprinkling of sea salt
3. Douse the groundbait with fish sauce and then
give the bag a goo shake.
4. Add 1 tin of sardines to the mix.
5. Then mix the contents of the bag together by crushing all the
ingredients.
6. Hook bait add a small prawn or cockle to a size 8 hook.
