| Re: Monster fish in the canal... Go for it try some floating bread. Or just set up a 2nd rod with a boilie or someit. Was stocked years ago by munks my local canal holds loads of nice carp to 20lb also afew in my local river. |

 Re: Monster fish in the canal... I'd think your best bet would be to find a fish holding feature close to where you saw the carp. Overhanging bushes or something similar. Then spend several days pre-baiting with boilies. Then a go for it. You'll probably find that there's more than one there, but carp can be very difficult to locate on canals. Good luck....  __________________ "The fish and I were both stunned and disbelieving to find ourselves connected by a line." William Humphrey " |

| Re: Monster fish in the canal... Canals can be very under rated for carp as they can hold some very big ones __________________ Richard|Sea Fishing |Carp Fishing| Spud Gun | Zander fishing | Fishing Reports | Hunting Reports |

| Re: Monster fish in the canal... You could try using a big waggler, put a ball of groundbait round the bottom of it, 1ft hair rig with a boilie, saw this method on Discovery Shed, will be trying it myself. Greenheart is absolutely right, carp do like overhanging features but they can be tempted out with some dog biscuits, if they are there they will investigate... __________________ I say we fish 5 days, work 2 |

| Re: Monster fish in the canal... You will have to re-cast about every minute as the groundbait melts away down over the boilie, re-do the groundbait then re-cast, should be OK though, let me know how you get on... __________________ I say we fish 5 days, work 2 |
