Ditch the regular swims and venture off the beaten path for some of the best fishing you've ever had.
While fishing the winter season of 2013 I found myself blanking for 7 consecutive sessions, and needless to say my confidence as well as morale was through the floor and the dreadful confusion of why I was not catching anything except a cold started to set in.
I scratched my head for hours on end spending all my university lectures wondering what on earth it is that I was doing wrong. After many hours of contemplating the problem, I came to the conclusion that I needed to find out what everyone else on the lake was doing which would get me hooking into atleast some fish, no matter the size.So that particular weekend I spent my whole Saturday speaking to the other anglers trying to “fish” out what they were doing that I wasn’t.I spoke to a couple of anglers and came to the surprising conclusion that although they were hooking into fish and getting at least some on the mat, their results were not really amazing - all landing fish under the 20 pound mark. I knew that the lake had 20lb and heavier fish in it, based on a couple of photos I had spotted on the Internet, but could not figure out why these fish where not being caught.
This information operation placed me in a state of ultimate confusion - I was now thinking about why I was blanking so much as well as not knowing why the bigger fish were not being caught.

Smashing My PB
Neville Barnard Reveals The Tactics He Used To Catch The Biggest Carp Of His Career Hunting big carp in big wild waters is my preferred method of fishing but it needs proper preparation and investigation. I heard about a lake that did hold good fish so I started to investigate the possibility of doing a trip. I got as much info as I could but there was very little to go on. As far as I could work out it was more luck than tactics that caught fish at this venue. I also heard that the water level was dropping quite a bit and that also helps if you are going to a place you don’t know. Most of the snags are then out of the water and give you far fewer problems.
