Jon’s fishing exploits on a syndicate water make for exciting reading. Fish after fish came to his rods during 3 years which saw his angling diary full to bursting point.
I
think it was February 2013 when I saw a post on a forum, regarding places on a syndicate in Lincolnshire. After a phone call, my mate Chris and I had an interview with one of the owners and the head bailiff. I didn’t quite know what to expect at a syndicate interview, but to my relief it was just a good old chat about all things carp-related and a look around the lake. We seemed to get on well with the guys in charge, and once back at the cars we were offered a place, with our tickets starting in June of that year. My work situation had just changed and I’d decided to go freelance, which meant I would be able to fish midweek, when the lake would hopefully be quieter. The prospect of 1 or 2 nights most weeks had me chomping at the bit! The lake we’d joined was a gravel pit of around 30 acres which
contained a healthy stock of carp, with various strains present, from high-doubles up to well over 40lb. One fish, a mid-30 known as the Big Troutie, particularly caught my eye. It was long with linear scaling, and certainly a very impressive-looking beast. In addition to this, there were also several good commons, and the two biggest fish, 3 Scales and Shoulders, were both over the 40lb mark. The first priority was to get a bait sorted. I’d done really well on DNA’s NuttaS during the spring leading up to my first session, but after talking to Jason Trought at DNA, I decided on their S7, a spicy fishmeal bait, for the new campaign. A couple of mates had been
5 2 C a r pwor ld J uly 2 01 5

using the S7 on the local syndicate the year before, and the results were pretty spectacular, to say the least. There was a slight delay while the Lincolnshire pit was closed for spawning, and so it was early July by the time I got down there for my first session. I managed a scale-perfect common just over the 20lb mark, plus a slightly smaller one. I was very pleased to have caught first time out, as I’m usually a slow starter on new waters. Some lads seem naturally gifted at this, but for me it has to be the long way round; trying to fish regularly, keeping notes, and watching the water religiously. I like trying to find the carp’s weak spot, whether that be for a certain bait, a different bait application, or just feeding in a rarely fished area. To help in locating good areas, I started making sketches of each swim that I fished, making sure to include the far treeline and bankside markers, which enabled me to line up any subsurface features
or spots from where I had action or had seen activity. I recorded every spot in detail; I noted that the depth, bottom make-up and exact distance from the bank were the most important points. This provided me with an edge, and if fish were already showing in an area upon arrival, I could just look at the sketches and measure the distance on the bank to the favoured spots. Hopefully, one cast on each rod and I’d be angling effectively without spooking ’em. Throughout July and August I was catching steadily on most of the trips, but with nothing larger than low-20s. It was still great fishing and I was enjoying myself, but I was a little mystified as to why none of the larger residents were making an appearance. A chat with some of the regulars revealed that this pattern repeated itself every year after spawning time. The bigger fish were visible in the safe area, but despite everything I tried, I couldn’t tempt them out in the main lake. Ju l y 2 015 C a r pwor l d 53

W
ithout a doubt, most anglers put their success down to the rigs they use, the bait they choose in any given situation, location, and watercraft. Of course, these are all instrumental to getting results. Anglers adapt as the seasons come and go and as the weather dictates, but we are mostly driven by the carp themselves. We watch them when it’s possible to do so, or we look for them to give away their location when we can’t. We base our approach

on their movements, their activity, and the pressure exerted upon them by being fished for, but we overlook the most obvious, and also the most important. You hardly ever see anything written about other influences outside of the obvious. Nowadays, as carp fishing has become more popular and more commercial, it seems we have become obsessed with tactics and baits to provide all the answers. Look in the mags, look online, and there is information and advice wherever you care to look, with a million experts telling you how to catch a carp. This is all well and good, and there are thousands who look to the more experienced for answers. Experience, though, is relative. An experienced angler to one could be a novice to another. What am I trying to say? Well, in a nutshell, there is always more to know, and the more you know the more you realise you don’t know it all, and that is oh so true where carp fishing is concerned. As I get older I look at things differently, and I think about things differently, which is the natural course of events. I am the product of a lifetime of fishing, life experiences and influences, and I live my life based on what I’ve learnt along the way, but I must also

live within certain limitations and boundaries. There are things I can do and things I can’t do whether I want to or not, which in many ways is much different to how a carp has to live; for example, the influences which drive a carp in the first instance, like those which enable feeding to take place – those key unseen elements that allow life to take place at all. I’m talking about the most critically important aspects of a carp’s life, its environment, and more specifically, water quality and available dissolved oxygen in the water,
as this dictates exactly what a carp can do or can’t do, and how it lives its life. As advanced as we think we have become as anglers, it seems most of us know next to nothing about THE most critical factors for good fishing. Building an understanding of these factors is instrumental to becoming a better angler, and it will change how you look at everything when you start to consider the things that are not instantly obvious from our perspective. My close friends and I have all carp fished for a long time (over 30 years),

In my Ashmead Diary in May, I ended by saying that I would use this edition to discuss my personal views on the problems we face as a result of the resurgent otter population, and how it affects me as a fishery owner, angler and conservationist. I must point out that what follows reflects my own perspective on the issue. I have recently accepted an invitation to join the board of the Predation Action Group, but this article must in no way be taken to represent the PAG and its views.
T
he very real threat otters present to carp fishing and our fisheries has been brought home to me over the last 10 years. If you are a long-time reader of Carpworld, you may recall me writing about a small and very beautiful carp water called Pitt Pond. The fishery had been stocked with Leneys from Redmire, and through decades of careful management, these fabulous
carp grew to well over 30lb in Pitt’s clear and rich waters. This lovely little estate lake was one of the first pools in which I learned to catch carp as a teenager, but Pitt Pond’s recent history as a carp water sadly ended in the winter of 2011. The pond still hides away in the same beautiful fold in the Somerset landscape, but its carp are no more. These days, Pitt’s stately monkey puzzle trees cast a perfect undisturbed
reflection in a pool devoid of fish. One summer, the fishing suddenly became far more difficult than it would normally have been. The fish were hard to find, and even on a hot day, when numbers of carp should have been basking beneath the lily pads, it was difficult to spot any. Those I did see appeared agitated, darting from one bed of pads to another, looking disturbed and on edge. It was in September that I found some scales on the bank near the inlet, and I realised that an otter had been hunting on the pool. Over the next few weeks I found more patches of scales around the pool, each one a sad memorial to a lost carp. One morning I found the distinctive lateral scales of one of the three 20lb linear mirrors which Pitt held, lying on the dam wall. On another evening I found a set of individually large common scales that must have been from a very big fish. Perhaps they were from the common that Alan hooked and lost whilst tench fishing, which he estimated to be almost 40lb. One

by one the otter took the carp, and there was nothing we could do to stop it. Pitt is impossible to defend with an otter-proof fence, and so remote that nothing could be done to protect the carp. By the end of the winter, the otter had taken them all. Pitt was a special place at the heart of my early carp fishing, and it was where my son, Iain, caught his first big golden common when he was 8. I wrote about Iain’s carp in a Carpworld magazine article some time ago: We parked in the field at the top of the steep little valley and took a moment to savour the best view in Somerset, before gambolling down the slope towards the pool. Iain was running ahead in his excitement, shouting advice on where we should fish, and how we would have to be quiet and move slowly if we wanted to catch a carp. It was like I was looking through a magical mirror, and I saw myself at his age, lost in a world of adventures made real through the thrill of fishing. It isn’t until you reach the gate to the pond that you get

Amino Acids , Enzymes and Nutr itional recognition – Par t 2
To b e c o n s c i o u s t h a t y o u a r e i g n o r a n t o f t h e facts is a great step towards knowledge. BenJaMin disraeli
M
y extensive study of amino acids, enzymes and other compounds was not simply out of curiosity, or a need to understand the apparent phenomenon of nutritional recognition, but because I wanted the most effective bait possible. Bait research per se was in its early stages, and health shops were my ‘university’ regarding what was and wasn’t available in terms of potential ingredients and additives, other than those which were starting to appear in bait advertisements. Going back to the start of the ’80s, there was a clear ‘us and them’ demarcation between the ‘crap bait’ devotees, who looked for quick results via low-quality-food baits heavily loaded with flavours, sweeteners, and liquid foods (which at that time was mainly Minamino), and the protein bait and HNV users. I was sold on the HNV principle and

was nervous of the long-term effect of flavours in a quality food bait. Word from ‘Fred’s boys’, which included Bob Morris, Robin Monday and Derek Stritton, was that Fred favoured essential oils in HNV baits, which is the initial route we went. At that time we looked on essential oils as a label, rather than adding additional attraction. Rightly or wrongly, the impression we had was that you had to extensively prebait to educate the carp to eat your bait. I was starting to fish what were then looked upon as circuit waters – Waveney Valley, Darenth Tip Lake, Cuttle Mill and others – and on some of them I wasn’t in a position to educate the carp. I wanted a quick reaction without damaging the long-term prospects of the bait, and at the same time I wanted to make the nutrients within the bait more available to the carp
through the use of enzymes. After a great deal of trial and error, research, footslogging, and invaluable advice from others, including Fred himself and Rod Hutchinson, I came up with the additives which were later marketed in the Nutrabaits range as the Addits. These had been in the making and testing through the late-’70s and early-’80s by the time they went on the market in 1987. I went to fish the Tip Lake in 1982, courtesy of Bob Morris, and being one of ‘Fred’s boys’, Bob was able to arrange for me to meet Fred, a prospect I treasured to the extent that I gave up a night’s fishing to go and visit the great man. (We take Fred’s Law for granted now, but anyone who was around at the time will confirm how inspirational, revolutionary and far-reaching it was.) We talked well into the early hours, and I was privy to some information which, as far as I know, he has never made public. I was already going down the enzyme route, and Fred confirmed that he had done some experimenting with them, but didn’t want to make that public in case they were used irresponsibly. (I’m comfortable with mentioning that because they are widely spoken about, written about, and used now.) He also gave me a book, which I think was called Olfaction in Fishes, but I later made the mistake of lending it to a friend of Bill Cottam’s, and I have never got it back. The book was of limited application to carp baits, but there were some telling markings in there by Fred, which caught my attention, one of which was the comment that betaine is synergistic with certain amino acids. Betaine and Betaine Hcl are variously described as amino acids, or compounds, Ju l y 20 15 C a r pwor l d 151

Max and Julian visit the inland sea which is Lake Bolsena in Italy. The wind-lashed shoreline was home for a few days as they prepared for the World Carp Classic. Little did they know that the trip would turn into one that they’d never forget.
T
he first thoughts that came to mind as we stood on the black sandy beach at Lago di Bolsena in southern Italy was that we were looking out on to the North Sea, such were the size of the waves crashing on the shore. The wind blew sand into our faces as one wave after another rolled and crashed onto the sand like beached whales. How could we ever get out in our little rubber boats to search for spots to fish and then bait up? To say we had bad feelings about setting out would be an understatement – but what could we do? It was September and the water was still over 20°C, and the fish were waiting. We had our extra-wide iBoats with us, which are normally very stable, but could they stand up to the onslaught? Could we?! It was with bated breath and our fingers crossed that we donned our bathing suits, put the life jackets on, and set sail on another adventure.
JULIAN: It all began with a handshake between Ross Honey and Max Nollert. Ross is the organiser of the World Carp Classic, and he and Max (who heads up Imperial Baits) agreed on a sponsorship arrangement for the upcoming competition. With this agreement came the chance to participate in the event, which draws anglers from all over the world. It was being staged at Lago di Bolsena, which Max and I had never fished, so with just 2 weeks to go, it was time for us to check out the venue, and we set out to visit the 11,000-hectare giant. We were lucky in that we were friendly with an Italian named Riccardo Batisti who, between wonderful cups of greattasting coffee and a meal of seafood, told us more about the atmosphere around the area. He was able to introduce us to his friend, Tulio, whose family has had a piece of land directly on the water for many generations. This was the gateway to our latest angling adventure. Tulio is a typical southern Italian. His garden is home to rows of olive trees, from which the finest olive oil is produced, and he would pop round with a glass of red wine in his hand, and invite us for an espresso while we celebrated

life under the Mediterranean sun. He is a man at peace with the world, living a wonderful life on the banks of a majestic water. His property is separated from the inland sea by nothing more than a bank of reeds, and small gaps in the swaying stems made it possible to stand on the beach. We couldn’t have been better situated. The wind was blowing into our faces and the waves were crashing onto the shore, yet behind the rustling stand of reeds, the wind dropped to a murmur. In our camp the air was still and cool, whilst around us the trees and reeds shook as the wind gusted above us. After we’d made our preparations, it was time to emerge from the peace and quiet into the maelstrom outside the seclusion of our camp. It was time to get to grips with the carp, and it was the time for teamwork, because alone we stood no chance. The iBoat 320 was waiting patiently on the sand, and we watched the white crests of spray, waiting for the right moment to brave the waves. We waited for the next one to break, and we were off ! The boat moved out across the sand towards open water as the wave retreated down the beach. I jumped in, grabbed the paddles, and as Max pushed with all his strength from behind, we set off. Or rather we didn’t. It was too late, and the next wave came crashing across the bow
of the boat as it lurched into the air. I held on tightly so I wouldn‘t be thrown out, and the next thing I knew we were back on the beach – further away from the water’s edge than when we had started out! Max pushed again, and this time I was faster on the paddles as we forced our way out into open water. It took a few heart-stopping attempts, but we were finally a few metres beyond the breaking waves where conditions were much more favourable. We are both quite adept in the boat, but it was a real struggle to keep it positioned so that the waves wouldn‘t turn the boat over. I had two marker rods and an echo sounder on board, which I used to find promising-looking spots. The lakebed was like a forest, with an underwater jungle reaching upwards to the surface, but every now and again we could see sandy areas. I speculated that it would be in these areas that the carp would be moving about, so I set the markers at points between the banks of vegetation. Between the two marker floats, on the sandy bottom, I fed around 5kg of our Carptrack fish boilies in 20 and 24mm. The baits were laced with a shot of inL, Liquid Amino and Carptrack Liquid, and finally we‘d added the inP powder and GLM. Over the years this combination has brought us a lot of success on many big and difficult waters, so there on the banks of Bolsena, we’d pimped our baits up in the trust and faith that if the Italian fish were anything like our friend Tulio, they would feed well on the bait. For the first evening it seemed as

The debut book from Frank Warwick “Back in the early days of what has become the prolific carp scene of today, carp waters were few and far between, and ‘every bit of blue’ on the Ordnance Survey maps used to be explored to see if there were carp in that particular bit of blue. It was a time when a rig meant free-lining or ledgering, and baits were as big a mystery as the location of waters containing carp. Frank has lived through, and fished through, all those formative years, and has contributed handsomely to the development and refinement of carp-catching methods and baits. He’s enjoyed more than his share of success, home and abroad, along the way, and in this long overdue first book Frank relives some of the highlights of his 40+ years of carp fishing. It’s been an unmissable journey. for him.”
