Carp fishing can be difficult during the winter but its not impossible to enjoy some success if you do the right things. If you want to up your catch rate and learn more about how to catch carp in winter including what boilies work best in winter and how to locate carp in cold weather than take a look at Ben Cooper’s five tips…<\/h3>\n

„Carp fishing during the winter is obviously much harder but it doesn’t have to be” said Ben. I’ve had loads of big fish at this time of year, including a 34lb 2oz mirror this session and a 38lb 10oz carp on Christmas Eve last year to name just two.<\/p>\n

For me, the key to success is tweaking things slightly, so the odds are more in your favour. With this in mind, here are my top five tips for successful winter carping…<\/p>\n

Regards success or failure, the weather plays a major part. As well as still taking time to walk around the lake, looking for signs, up until Christmas I tend to still fish ‘Autumn-style’, this means targeting the deeper silty areas of the lake.<\/p>\n

Once I find a swim I fancy, I actively avoid the ‘obvious’ features as these will have been fished hard by everyone. I like to look for those little out-of-the-way spots, where the chod may be at its deepest. This is because places like this are generally the last bastion of any natural food, so it stands to reason that there will always tend to be a fish or two within spitting distance.<\/p>\n

Once the new year starts, I swap over to targeting more of the shallower swims as the days are getting longer, these areas tend to warm up quicker, so again the natural food cycle starts and the carp won\u2019t be too far behind.<\/p>\n
