tc

when match fishing in cold weather i always stick to a tried and trusted method,it will work year after year,i try to catch as many fish as i can even though the lake i fish is predominantly carp,and big ones too. there is usually a "magic" time when carp seem to feed,knowing this time will come with experience.my bait is capable of catching the smallest roach to double figure carp on the same rig,being sensible of course with hook strength etc,dont ignore the top two feet of water and the margin even in the coldest weather,believe me this approach works,tight lines tc

Its a good format to use TC, why hang about waiting for the bigger fish(that might not come) if you can get a few smaller regularly, they all count.

at cudmore the margins on the new pool i never try they are just not deep enough
