Float Fishing for Carp
I only go Float Fishing for Carp either when I am fishing for very wary Carp or stalking them especially for bubblers.
The wary Carp can come into your swim and take all free offering bar and hook bait intended to catch him if your rig shows up, as in daytime; I would use mono hooking which will give me more chance of a bite, but hasn’t got the abrasive resistance of other hook links like Suffix Mantis etc. The fish can pick your bait up and sit there for 5 or 10 minutes trying to eject the hook and only making your rod tip knock.
I opted for the float, mainly using the most sensitive set up I know when it is sensitive I can still catch smaller species like Roach and Skimmers which usually populate the swim which get the Carp moving in homing in on the competition of the smaller fish.
To feed Hemp, Casters Maggots or Sweetcorn pellets are a good bet, only small ones though. If you are catching Roach and Skimmers you will get a bite from the Carp and the indication will be more precise than of the bite alarm set up.
Good luck out there.
