Best summer surface fishing
The long hot summer evenings were perfect for catching carp off the top. I visited loads of local venues with just my stalking gear and a loaf of floater cake and often it was eyeball-to-eyeball stuff, right in the margins.
All I needed was a chunk of floater with the hook hidden inside the soft bait. I tried several cakes made from boilie base mix and eggs baked in the oven, and they all worked a treat, making it a summer to remember.
