Carp Fishing | Winter | Jim Chisnall

The cold and short winter days are not for everyone, but, on the right waters, they can produce catches with the carp at their optimum weights. . Gardner Tackle's Jim Chisnall loves the colder months of the year and puts in most of his bank time between late October and early spring in search of those trophy weights and carp that just look their best. Join Jim on this Essex lake session where he goes through his winter carp fishing approach covering tactics, weather patterns, baiting and everything you need to make your winter campaigns a success!

It was really difficult to establish any portfolio of exactly what carp were present. The biggest known mirror in the lake was named ‘Megan’ apparently. I was told that one spun the scales to just over 30lb.

Spring is the time of the year I, like most carp anglers, look forward to the most. Not only are the longer days and lighter evenings so much more pleasant than the long winter ones, but also the rewards are there be had and when the fish are often at their easiest to catch.

I had landed ten of the fourteen caught between us, with Adrian catching the largest at 7lb 9oz. Only one other tench was caught between about 20 other anglers on the lake. It wasn’t a bad way to kick off a fishing diary that I keep to this day!

During the last 7-8 seasons I’ve fell in love with a brilliant method, trotting for chub. Each winter my dad and I head down to the banks of the Dorset stour in search of its specimen chub. This river is by far my favourite for the species and I really couldn’t think of a better place to target a huge chub.

To be successful when fishing in the middle of winter it is essential to keep a close eye on the weather and make your plans accordingly. Dai Gribble gives us 10 top tips for catching on waters during the colder months, either on rivers or on stillwaters.
