There are always times when you can be sitting behind your carp rods with very little fish activity going on in front of you. It is times like these when it can really pay-off to do what you can to be 100% sure you are fishing in the right place, says Mike Hamer. Carp have a serious habit of moving, whether this is dictated by angling pressure, or simply the weather conditions. During times when activity is at an all-time low in your swim, there are a few little tricks you can employ to get the best out of your session.
Starting in your swim, if very few fish are actually showing or bubbling, then one of the best ways of locating them is to fish extra sensitive alarms where fish brushing the line will soon alert you to their presence.
Teamed with slack lines and light bobbins, line bites can be hugely exaggerated, helping you to read your swim like a book. If the line bites are coming and you are positive fish are in the area, then you can always turn the sensitivity down on the alarms. The ACE i3 Alarms have a roller wheel and a vibration sensor, both of which give the angler multiple sensitivity options. KEEP READING…..
