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!

The start of a new challenge is always exciting and after hearing about a special big scaley mirror and then seeing some photos, it was one that I was desperate to have in my album. The venue in question was a large 60 plus acre boating lake with a relatively low stock of carp.

It wasn’t finished yet though, despite me praying for it to just give up, and twice having it over my outstretched net...

My real love in angling is Tench fishing, and it’s mainly on the big pits where all my serious tench fishing is done. I’ve been doing this since the mid-1970s, so I think it’s fair to say I’m addicted to big pit fishing, but most of the ideas and methods in this article will work on any water, of any size.

By the age of 5, I was bugging my dad every weekend to go fishing. Rain or shine, snow or hail, it didn’t matter to me I just wanted to be outside next to the water. I still remember what he used to say to me “when you can swim, then I’ll take you” so I learnt to swim pretty sharpish...
