Simple tactics for carp
Early May saw me and a group of friends fishing the prolific Chalet Lake in Northern France. With a film to make, my fishing time would be mainly limited to after dark, but I was lucky enough to catch some stunning fish, including commons to 40lb-plus.
My tactics for the week will work anywhere – simple snowman and wafter boilie hookbaits with a big PVA bag of boilie flake to boost the attraction and a wrap of paste around the lead to give a slow leak-off of attraction. Despite this lake being fished by clued-up anglers every week, sticking to tactics that I have complete faith in was definitely the way
to go.
