The CARP FISHING GUIDE Saves you Time and Money.
Pellets for Carp Fishing
With me it all started back in the early 80s with trout pellet paste, we would have used the pellet as feed but we could only get floating ones, So we made paste with curry powder, chocolate powder, vanilla essence etc all bought from super markets and cake shops. All the modern flavours weren’t about in those days.
The pellet over the past decade, so gets used in conjunction with the PVA bag and now funnel web endorsed by companies like Korda, Fox, Nash etc all doing the same thing with devastating results, especially used with such liquids as Dynamite Source, Solar Growler Juices and Salmon oil not to mention a few others.
I never use high oil pellets during the colder months because the oil from the pellet will not emulsify in cold, in the colder months I will use CSL (Corn Steep Liqueur) pellets and the more widely used Blood Worm Pellet.
I have done well on CSL and blood worm especially on easy carp waters in the winter months, if you get your location right, rig and lead set up, there is no reason you should not get a bite, If you keep casting PVA bags around you will end up finding the fish.
A bit of a watercraft helps, or knowing the topography of the lake you are fishing, in winter I try to fish small waters because the carp tend to group up in certain spots when it is very cold.
Good luck.
