winter baits

[Dave The Rave]

what baits would be reccomended for use during the colder months for carp? i hope to get out quite abit during winter but also going to learn a bit about piking aswell even though im s**t scared of them!!! any help is welcome

[NIDGE MAC]

little and often dave, the old sweet corn and maize, and maggots and worms work well...

[Dave The Rave]

what about in the boilies? what boilies would you recomend? would you put a bed of particles out or just hemp or not bother in winter??

[NIDGE MAC]

yes a bed of small particles or hemp, and the pineapple boillies have worked for me, or anything hi viz.....

[Dave The Rave]
