    picking the right swim

    in Beginning Carping

    Posted

    get on the lake first light and last light , not even to fish but to see where the fish are

    pre spawn if the water is deep in the middle id say try to find the shallow, weedy bays and flats as this is where they will come into spawn.

    other than that try to find the fish and bait an accessible area there or close by

    sounds exciting, keep us posted on the results

    help on carp net

    i would definately look at how you lift the net too. either use a sling to lift the fish or grab the net at the bottom just above wheher the fish is, otherwise all that weight is going on the arms and spreader and the same will keep happening

    i have had a nightmare with nets over the past year, primarily spreader blocks. i had a greys stainless one open up so the arms were falling out, they replaced free of charge with a complete free new net (excellent customer service), this one had a plastic spreader that broke before i even used it once (snapped screwing it it). So i bought a gardener one from carp kit. Best spreader i have used but even that broke eventually. the best one i have seen recently is the nash dwarf, its like a rubberised plastic with a strengthening bar to support the spreader. i have not used one but thought the design was good as i am fed up of expensive nets and spreaders breaking. i had one break when i had a 30 at my feet and another with a 40 at my feet (luckily i still landed them both) but thats not good enough.

    here is a pic of the nash dwarf spreade, also the handle is telescopic so is small to transport. i will hopefully be getting one of these soon as im at a loose end with spreader blocks. i know daves placing a nash order this week so i can find out if hes gettin any and the costs but id expect the dwarfs to be under or close to 100 bucks.
