Carp Fishing Baits For Consistent Big Fish Catches | carp fishing france

carp fishing france


Some big carp baits have endured the test of time over many decades. Some have especially proved themselves far more productive long-term for the bigger specimens. Many anglers desire consistent big carp catches and baits that can possibly 'level-out' differences between an angler's angling abilities, time available, monetary and tackle resources, experience and so on.

There is no doubt among those anglers that use 'high' or 'balanced' nutritional value baits, that they produce long-term big fish results. Providing the essential dietary requirements of fish can very much determine the initial and repeated behaviour a fish has towards such a bait. Refining the taste of the bait is a very important part in this too. But what is the mystery and incredible cumulative effects of specific nutritional baits can have and how do they really work both short and long-term to achieve the hooking of a fish?

Comparatively few anglers understand why such baits work and often, when asked about them, a vague "something to do with protein, oils, flavours, minerals etc" is offered. It seems to me that many anglers drop the deeper questions about bait, when things get any further than the 'name' or label, or flavour a ready made products is marketed as. But anyway, why would an angler even benefit from knowing how and why their ready made baits work; they catch fish after all?

It is common for an angler to see an advert or 'advertorial' with their current favourite fishing heroes and buy the ready made bait being recommended and use that. This is fine for very many anglers, but then very many anglers make up the majority who only achieve the kind of results the 'average angler' achieves. If you want more certainty about better than average results, you require more control over this vital aspect of your fishing.

tips to help you catch more big carp | carp fishing france

Here is a list of carp fishing tips to help you catch more big carp.

  1. If you can, try to locate the fish before choosing a peg. Locating the carp, or any possible patrolling area is a largest part of carp fishing success.

  2. Use fishmeal-based boilies during the summer and autumn, try 50/50 mixes or bird food types of bait during winter and spring.

  3. Add plenty of salt to particle baits, especially the cooked types like hemp, maize, tares, beans, partiblend seeds, maple peas and chick peas. Carp love the taste of salty foods. As a rough guide, add one tablespoon of salt to 5 litres dry particles.

  4. Try adding chillies to some particle baits. Carp seem to love that hot "kick" from those spices. Roughly add 2 tablespoons to 5 litres particles.

  5. If the standard carp baits like boilies don't seem to be working, try using maggots. Here is a maggot carp rig to try. You can fill a small PVA bag with maggots to get some free offerings out at distance. Or you could even half-fill the bag with dry groundbait to give off a cloudy attraction. (If you are concerned about maggots wriggling away or into silt try using previously frozen dead maggots.)
