Location: You need a large, flat, grassy area (comfort is king). As close to the car park as you can get. Bit of shade and near the toilets.
Presentation: The cast is important, direction doesn’t matter, distance is key. Cast at least 100 yards. Recast 6-8 times per hour minimum.
Alarms: Volume must be turned up as loud as possible, test them every few minutes. If they have different settings test them all.
Bait: At least 5kg of boilies thrown out randomly. Repeat every 15-20 minutes (the more expensive the boilies the more carp you will catch).
Gear: Remember, you can’t have too much kit, take it all with you. Biggest bivvy catches biggest carp. Also a radio is essential.
Buddy: Ideally install a mate at the edge of shouting range. Shout things like ‘it’s sh*t here today’ and ‘my rods cost over £500 each’.
Duration: A short trip of 48-96 hours will do at a push. But for proper results you really need put the time in.

ReplyDeleteNon compliers are Noddies.
All based on stuff I’ve seen or heard wandering around the various ponds - stalking like a noddy..!
DeleteSatirical perfection, modern day Carp anglers incapsulated in just a few words!
ReplyDeleteI genuinely saw someone cast as far as they could (could have fished opposite bank with an underarm swing). Then throw out a ton of bait right in front of them…!?!??
DeleteHonestly it beggars belief, but if it makes them happy then so be it, they probably think we are weird.
DeleteWe’re such angling snobs!
DeleteBrilliant 🤣 what about Bankside cooking ? What do I need to?
ReplyDeleteFull size George Foreman grill, bottle of gas, Yeti cool bag and RidgeMonkey accessories (need a section on brand names). And chicken - it doesn’t matter if it’s cooked properly - as long as you remember the tomato sauce…
DeleteYou wont see me like that, I will be in camo!
ReplyDeleteHope it’s Korda camo (or it doesn’t count).
