how can i catch these carp

[P.B14lb]

i live near a lake but during the day it is used as a boating lake. on visits there i have noticed large carp swimming around that are 20+ i have tried loads of baits like tutti frutti boiles luncheon meat sweetcorn maggots and so on ( i forgot to mention that this lake runs of from the river but is controlled by a gate or lock whatever u wanna call it ) any way i was wondering if any of u carp fisherman have any good methods i can tryout THANKS

hey. I have a lake like this just near me and last season i managed to rak up a tally of 62 twenties from this place just from durin the day. Ure best bet would be to use tiger nuts. just simply one big one or two smaller ones on the hair with 8 or 9 scattered around it from say a pva bag. these give instant attraction and carp love them espacially if they don't get much angling pressure. hope this helps.
p.s make sure u use backleads if ure on a boating lake!!!

i dont mean to seem like an amatuer fisherman but could u run me through step byu step on how to set this up cos i rarely vary from float and swimfeeding so this would be the first time i use tigernuts and a pva bag thanks #LOADS

and is there anything i need to buy just for this setup

basically all your need is a length of antitangle tubing and some lead clips. Korda do special action packs which contain all the necessary information and rig bits for lead clips as they are very very safe set ups. For the rig end of it i would get hold of some kryston snakebite or mantis as this has an abrasive coating on it and just simply tie on a size 8-10 hook of your chose with a knotless knot and fish the tiger nuts on the hair. If u don't understand jus tell me and i will simplify for u.

Sounds like a nice spot, obviously tiger nuts are a sound bait but if you can see these fish on the surface what about getting a loaf of bread and using the crust, if the ledgering technique don't pay off, jus use a bubble/controller float or if it's calm water you could freeline with only a hook and crust have fun!
