First Time For Everything
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 06, 2017  |  0 comments
Total Carp reader Gaz Walker had the session of his life when he went on a recent social to White Springs Fishery near Swansea. 31st of march came and I was heading off to Swansea to White Springs fishery for a Simply Baits social for 48hrs. We set off on the 3 plus hour drive down to the lake not knowing what to expect as I've never been fishing here before. Upon arrival we headed off to the pegs we had booked and began to unload the van and set up camp.

Anthony Wood's Luncheon Meat Tactics!
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 05, 2017  |  0 comments
Something I enjoy fishing with is luncheon meat, whether it is making my own 'meat groundbait' which is basically blended luncheon meat with breadcrumb and sometimes ready oats through to flavouring and presenting the luncheon meat on the hook. Whether it is because we have been conditioned to think round baits are better because of boilies I don't know. I do however find that round baits will quite often out fish baits of a different shape (not all of the time but for me definitely most of the time). Maybe it's because fish have associated round things as a food source who knows.

Brace Of 30's For Lewis Errington
Total Carp Staff  |  Apr 04, 2017  |  0 comments
At the end of my last blog I was planning to do a few short sessions until the weather was a bit warmer and more consistent, now a few weeks later the daytime temperatures the last week has seen daytime temperatures above 10 degrees every day, depending on what shift I am working I have good opportunities to get out for a few hours in the morning or afternoon. This week I got extra lucky on the Thursday, as I was finishing up at work my boss gave the option for a last minute day off on the Friday. A perfect opportunity as the girlfriend was at work and I had nothing planned. I finished at midnight and once home it was straight into the garage to get some bait defrosted and a gear into the car for an early start.

Total Carp Staff  |  Mar 29, 2017  |  0 comments
Solar Tackle team member Jake Anderson has landed this awesome, 38lb mirror, which is one of the rarer residents of Mid Kent Fisheries' Tonford Lake to grace the banks. At the end of a blank session on Sunday, Jake had a walk around Tonford Lake. With the spring sunshine warming the water in front of a swim called Cushties, Jake scattered a dozen 18mm freebies on a short-range spot that he knew from a previous trip. Returning to the lake after work on the Monday evening Jake arrived to find 4 other anglers already set up on the small lake.

Mobility Is Key
Total Carp Staff  |  Mar 27, 2017  |  0 comments
Tie your bags, grab your barrow and go find them. Taska’s KIERAN LACK shows you why keeping on the move with PVA really can pay off. As winter increases its icy grip on the UK’s waters, it’s easy to see how anglers fall into the trap of staying static. It’s cold, often wet and it can be hard work.

10 Forties For Thomas Mascha
Total Carp Staff  |  Mar 23, 2017  |  0 comments
Solar Tackle team member Thomas Mascha has landed 10 carp over 40lb since January 3rd this year (that’s just 11 weeks). Working full time as a baker in northeast France, most of Thomas’ fishing is restricted to day-only sessions, which means that planning and pre-baiting play a big part in his approach, and this latest triumph was no different. Choosing a shallow area of a local gravel pit, Thomas pre-baited over an area where there are signs of new weed growth using a mixture of particles and crushed Candy Floss boilies, all of which he soaked in Candy Floss Mega Big Shot Liquid. Fishing during daylight hours only, Thomas used a 14mm Candy Floss pop-up fished with a light lead and flicked carefully to lie on to of the weed.
