Fishing Techniques

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For European chub

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
