It\u2019s no mystery that carp fishing becomes harder in the winter hence why many anglers wrap up the rods and reels for the colder seasons and wait until spring before their next session. However carp don’t completely stop feeding in the winter, we believe you can capitalize on this opportunity especially with fewer anglers present at the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes catching carp in the winter is difficult, it requires a completely different set of tactics but it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t catch fish. We\u2019ve had some of our best sessions in the winter and have caught some absolutely stunning fish over the last couple of years. Here are the tactics we use which have worked well for us recently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay on the lookout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We always express how important a good observation of the lake your fishing is, well it is even more so important when carp fishing in the winter. Unlike the summer, carp won\u2019t breach the surface or show themselves much in shallow water which makes finding them very, very difficult. This means you have to keep a sharp eye on the lake when you walk around, one small sign of a fish can transform your fishing session and get you into a ton of fish very quickly. This is because in the winter carp usually stick together, making finding them harder however if you spot one fish there’s probably going to be a lot more in that area of the lake. A good few laps around of lake is tiring and tedious but worth it, if you don\u2019t actively go out to look for the fish in the winter, it’s very unlikely that you\u2019ll get into any. Here’s a quick video explaining how to spot fish in a lake effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
