1 Acre(s)
The Carp lake covers 1.
1 acres and is stocked with approximately 150 double figure Commons and Mirrors weighing typically 12lbs to 16lbs but rising to over 30lbs+.
Though not generally targeted, there are also present a few Bream to 7lbs+, Perch to 3lbs+ and a small number of quality Roach to 2½lbs.
With regards to tackle, a monofilament 12lbs to 15lbs line is recommended and ledgering is running ledgers only.
Although baits are not a precise science, choose from a variety of bolies and ledger in the margins.
This has proven to be productive and sometimes they can be tipped with a piece or corn to provide colour contrast during bright weather conditions.
Use a small PVA string or bag as this is better than loose bait which attracts the ducks.
The use of smaller baits tipped with maggots when the water is very cold is also successful.
Traditional baits such as luncheon meat, worms, sweetcorn, etc.
will also bring results.
