and a video to show you how here

 

or use shrink tube such as this by carp'R'us called rap-it

Ive used this shrink tube before on lac du st cassien and despite it being black (and much cheaper) I caught carp no probs.

Use maize but also use trout pellets around your hook bait, that should help to pull in the crays which will in turn attract the carp.

 

Good luck and pm me if I can help any more.

Cheers for all that info - much appreciated

[Advice on big pits needed]

Hi all

I live in the south of france and am about to start fishing a big lake nearby (600 HA) called Lac Montbel. Very few people fish for carp and most go for pike because they eat all of them!

I have bought a dinghy because you could never cast the distance needed and will start to look for features, depths etc. I understand the carp feed heavily on natural baits like crayfish so must search out where the crays live.

 

Does anyone have any basic ideas?

Paul Cann http://www.salagou.ismysite.co.uk has kindly given me some tips relating to another lake he fishes about 3 hours away but i wonder if anyone had any tips? I was thinking of using maize to begin with as it is not widely used on this lake. But I also want to tempt the carp with something similar to crays. What bait out there actually smells like crayfish?

I realise i will need large, hard baits to stop the nuisance fish and crays but any other advice is appreciated.

 

Its a huge lake as you can see

the canadian airforce use it to fill up their firefighting planes!

 

Any thoughts or ideas welcome. I intend to spend a lot of time there!

Cheers
