After Explaining How To Get The Best Out Of Your Autumn Fishing Last Month, Adam Penning Proves His Tactics Worth Landing Some Incredible Carp To Over 521b

When It All Comes Good

Last month we talked about the difficulty of autumn fishing and what we can do to give us a fighting chance of catching carp.

I have been fishing Bayeswater syndicate and putting the tactics we talked about in the last issue into practice.

During the first session of the autumn campaign, I actually lost a fish due to a snag that I wasn’t aware of. I was gutted, of course, but I took the positives from it and carried on.

I had started to build a picture of where the fish were spending quite a bit of time. Shows were few and far between, but I was watching as much as I could and soon worked out that they had a preference for one side of the lake.

I made the decision to have a long lead about, no matter how long it took me. I wanted to find something out there that I knew they were regularly visiting. I spent half a day casting around and feeling the bottom. Rule number one is finding the fish, which I had done. Then you are looking for something on the bottom that stands out from the rest of it.

Bayeswater is fairly flat, very uniform and has a soft bottom across most of the lake bed. Knowing what carp do to areas that they investigate and feed on, I knew what I was looking for. By the very nature of the way they feed, they dig holes and craters. With the lake being clay lined and soft, it wouldn’t take much for them to dig out an area.

I thought that somewhere out there-there would be something special. I wanted that hard drop, smooth pull on the lead and clay dripping from it. These sort of spots are not easy to find but, by covering as much water as I could, I was sure I would find something.
