What is The Best Spring Carp Fishing Bait Approach in Your Opinion?

In today's Q&A video I provide you with my favourite spring baiting approach. The accompanying blog post and video are on our blog at ****** So in today's video you'll learn: 1. Why putting in a lot of bait in the Spring can work really well, 2. Why putting two or three kilos in then leaving it for two or three days with no lines in the water works so well. Then go back down there and just fish hookbait and, 3. Why playing around at this time of the year is so key. Try fishing one rod on a single to one part of the lake, one rod with a kilo over the top and one rod with maybe just 50 baits over the top. I get a lot of questions sent in about this, so thought I'd make this video to help you guys out. So I hope my Spring carp fishing tips help you this season and be sure to send in any questions you have. I won't be able to answer everything but I'll keep a to do list especially on topics that I see many people asking about. That way, one by one, I can try to address all your carp questions as often as possible. Thanks Terry Dempsey P.S.

For my Spring fishing, it's a little bit difficult to know how much bait to put in. What I've found over the last few years is this time of the year, putting in a lot of bait in the Spring can work really well you know and it has done for me in the past. But sometimes I think maybe not fishing exactly over that bait can be the one. So if you can get down to the lake a couple of days before, put a bit of bait in you know, leave it a couple of days you know, this this can't work for everyone obviously people can't always get down to the lake, some lakes you're not even allowed to bait up, but if you can get down a couple of days before the session and put some bait in, maybe a kilo, maybe the two kilo you know, the fish, the birds are going to dive on it. But you want the birds diving on it. I'm sure that the carp see the birds diving on it and it does create some disturbance and it will encourage the fish to feed on bait and then what I would do, this is my perfect way of fishing in the spring, two or three kilos, leave it for two or three days, no lines in the water. Go back down there and just fish hookbaits. This has caught me loads and loads of fish in the past. I have to say at certain lakes and certain times of the year, baiting heavy in the Spring can be brilliant. If the fish are hungry and they really want to feed then it can be brilliant. But also when the hatches are coming up, the fly hatches, and there's a lot of natural foods around in the Spring all coming off the bottom, then it can go against you and just single hookbaits can be the way forward. So I would play around at this time of the year by maybe fishing one rod on a single you know to one part of the lake, one rod with a kilo over the top, one rod with maybe just 50 baits over the top. And then just start to feel your way around the lake and just to see which one starts to work. But I'd always still put a bit of bait in when you go home or not too much, a kilo, two kilos, you've got to start introducing it. You've got to start letting them see it on the bottom, let the birds dive on it you know, let them have a, let them see it on the bottom, let them move around it, and it's going to encourage them. Also what you do find this time of year is one day there'll be a lot of natural food, the next day there might not and in the following day there might be a lot. This is what I found at a lake that I fished over the last four or five years. It fluctuates. One day you'll be catching over three or four kilos and in the next session it'll be a hookbait. So you really do have to play around with what you're doing. The good thing is we're all using two or three rods so we've all got a good chance. Once you suss it out, then start plugging away at maybe singles, maybe fishing over a kilo and you know that, that's the beauty of having two or three rods, you can really start playing around with techniques and you can fine-tune stuff.
