WHY YOU NEED TO
CAST 1,500 TIMES A DAY! Casting several times every minute and working up a sweat is the only way to fish summer’s hottest tactic, insists Pemb Wrighting Words & Photography Tony Grigorjevs
H
OW many times would you cast the pellet waggler in a five-hour session? 200? 500? Well, if you’re not achieving 1,500 you’re failing! That’s the verdict of Pemb Wrighting who is adamant that a fast and furious pace is the only way to fish summer’s hottest tactic. The Guru-backed angler certainly builds up a sweat when firing out the dumpy floats, getting
into a rapid-fire routine that involves feeding and casting at a lightning pace. “Almost every bite you get on the pellet waggler is going to be within the first 10 seconds of the rig being in the water, so why leave it in any longer?” questioned Pemb. “Carp attack the bait as it falls through the water. The moment it stops and is suspended in mid-water your chances are gone and it is time to recast.”

F YOU read the match reports in our sister title Angling Times you will notice a recurring theme in the manner of how the events are won. The ‘five-metre line’ is a phrase that crops up on numerous occasions, but exactly why is fishing at this particular distance so effective? Angling legend Tommy Pickering believes it is the most important area of any commercial lake swim and has caught literally thousands of large carp from this zone during his illustrious career. “If I had to pick one part of my swim that could guarantee me a netful of big carp then I would pick the 5m line,” explained the Maver-backed former World Champion. “It is an area that fish will regularly patrol and there are several reasons why it is such a banker.”
Finding the slope The vast majority of commercials have been dug in a similar fashion leading to a common topography. A small ledge is constructed close to the bank to provide shallow water in the margins before a slope begins, dropping down into deeper water. It is at the bottom of this slope where fish congregate and on most venues you will find it by shipping out to 5m. “Any leftover bait that is chucked in after a

session or wafted about in the margins rolls down to the bottom of this slope and fish get used to patrolling this area for food. It is important to plumb around carefully when you start so that you find what is called the crease. This is where the slope meets the flat bottom.” When plumbing up, set the depth and ship out very slowly. Keep lifting and dropping the plummet every foot you move. You will notice the depth changes slightly each time but once it levels out and remains the same no matter how
much further you go out, you have found the bottom of the slope. Tommy prefers to fish a foot up the slope because this keeps your rig away from any big beds of silt that have built up at the bottom of it.
Keep on feeding It is very rare that an area of your swim will get fed from the very first minute of the session to the last, but Tommy never lays off the 5m line. “Most parts of your peg only get bait added to

HEN the water starts to warm up, it can be a double-edged sword regards how you fish. The fish are up for a feed and you can use heavy tackle and loads of loosefeed. But it’s not all good news. When targeting deeper swims – 5ft or more – once you start to loosefeed slow-sinking baits such as maggots fish are quick to respond and will come up in the water. This is fine if you want to catch fish shallow, but it is much easier and faster to catch them on the deck. This is why I use an item more commonly seen on rivers to introduce my loosefeed - a baitdropper. Filling this with loosefeed, I can lower it where I’m fishing and deposit it all hard on the deck, exactly where I want to catch. For today’s session, I am on the First
Spring Lake at Springvale Fishing Lakes, near Bevercotes, Nottinghamshire. As well as a healthy stock of carp and silver fish, First Spring Lake is rammed with a big head of ide. The species feeds well all-year round and they are well-known for their greed and willingness to come up in the water, the perfect venue to demonstrate my baitdropper tactics.
What is an ide Many anglers who catch their first ide are confused as to what they have just landed. A cross between a roach, dace and chub, they are a non-native freshwater species typically found across mainland Europe and Asia. Also called orfe, the ornamental golden and blue versions of which more commonly
found in garden centres, the name ‘ide’ comes from the Swedish word ‘Id’, which refers to its bright silvery colour. Attracted by the noise of bait hitting the water, they can be just as easily spooked by any bankside disturbance. They can reach a top weight of 5lb, and the ide at Springvale average 1lb to 2lb, making them ideal for putting together a big weight, if you fish well for them.
Dropping in As a member of the Trentmen match squad, I tend to use baitdroppers a lot when I’m fishing rivers, but they are rarely seen on the banks of stillwaters. I find them the perfect baiting tool when you’re looking to feed slow-sinking items, such as maggots, for silver fish that are all too

THIS MONTH: HOW TO TIE THE PERFECT POLE RIG
M
OST of us spend hours on end preparing for our next session on the bank. One of the most time consuming elements is constructing pole rigs. Lift up the lid of your seatbox and it is almost certainly going to be full of rigs winders bristling with different floats. But are you tying your rigs correctly? Do it wrong and you could suffer all sorts of problems from a lack of bites right through to lost fish.
TOP TIP
MAINLINE HOW TO:
MAKE A RIG
SHOT Stotz are much kinder on the line. No.8s are best in a bulk with 10s as droppers
68 • IYCF Issue 338
A durable mainline is important and 0.15mm Powerline is ideal for carp and F1s in summer
FLOAT
SILICONE
When fishing for carp a stable pattern such as a Preston Inline Diamond is required
Cut three pieces of silicone. The 0.3mm and 0.5mm will fit most floats
1
Rather than having lots of different float styles in your box, stick with a handful of patterns. This will enable you to get used to how they perform which will enable you to fish more confidently and ultimately put more fish in the net.
2 APPLY SILICONE Run three pieces of silicone on to your line. Make the first one you put on (for the base) slightly longer
3 BULK SHOT When fishing on the bottom have a bulk of shot 2ft from the hook
ON THE FLOAT
DROPPERS
Slide the silicone on to the float stem to keep it in place. Have one close to the top, the second in the middle and the final one on the tip. The line then goes through the float’s eye
4
Have two smaller shot spread below. These slow the fall of the hookbait to make it look more natural
5
RIG LENGTH Hold the line on the spool and spread your arms. This will make the rig around 6ft long which is ideal on most fisheries. If you are on a deeper lake extend the rig by half of this length again
LOOP TO LOOP Tie a loop in your mainline and attach your hooklength with a loop to loop connection

In association with
BARBEL PELLET FEEDER RIG This clever but simple set-up combines the top barbel bait with the most effective way of offering it to the prized river species
P
ELLETS are without a doubt the most popular barbel bait, catching a huge number of fish across the UK throughout the year. But they are not necessarily the easiest of baits to hook or feed, being hard and sinking slowly. This simple rig has evolved to make fishing these baits easy, keeping the feed pellets next to the hookbait and using a feeder
to introduce a trail of bait. Barbel are strong fighters and will tire themselves out, especially in the summer months, so it is important to land them quickly, hence the need for strong hooks and line. Try to match the weight of the feeder to the strength of the current. You do not want the feeder to move once it has reached the riverbed, although use the lightest the feeder you
can to make less disturbance. If you are new to barbel fishing then this is the ideal rig. It makes one of the best barbel baits very easy to introduce exactly where you want. Get hold of a few predrilled 10mm pellets to use on the hair and, for feed, choose 3mm-4mm pellets and ensure that these can escape easily through the holes on the feeder.
The feeder is cushioned by the buffer bead and the rig sleeve helps to prevent tangles

HOW TO TIE A BARBEL PELLET RIG
Carefully enlarge the holes in the feeder so that the 4mm feed pellets can exit easily. Use a knife or a pair of scissors
Thread the feeder and the buffer bead on to the mainline. This should be stronger than the hooklength to break if the rig is snagged
Tie the rig swivel on to the end of the mainline using a four-turn grinner knot and pull the buffer bead over the end of the swivel
Tie a small overhand loop in the end of an 80cm length of the Zig Link to start the hooklength
Use a 10-turn knotless knot to tie on the hook. The hair should be long enough to leave a 5mm gap between bait and the bend of the hook
Thread a Rig Sleeve on to the hooklength. Tie the hooklength to the rig swivel using a fourturn grinner knot and pull it over the swivel
The hooklength should be 60cm long so that the hookbait sits close to the loosefeed
By enlarging the holes of the feeder, 3mm and 4mm pellets will be able to exit easily
Pre-drilled pellets make attaching a new hookbait quick and easy

ONE of the greatest things about fishing is that there are no hard and fast rules. Lots of guidelines have been drawn up by top anglers to help everyone else put more fish in the net, but from time to time it pays to break away from expert advice and try your own thing. Experimenting with

GUIDE TO... PELLET WAGGLER RODS
TOP TACKLE ADVICE TO ENSURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT GEAR
Each month our team of experts at IYCF HQ take a look at some of the best tackle items on the market. This month we focus on pellet waggler rods
W
HEN carp are feeding high up in the water the Pellet Waggler really does take some beating because it presents a slow-falling bait right among the feeding carp. With no weight down the line, the hookbait naturally sinks very slowly, maximising the time it spends in the surface layers. The trick to pellet waggler success is to feed immediately before and after casting. You also need to feather the line, so that the float lands with a gentle kiss rather than a splash on the water’s surface. Get it right and bites will be savage. But you need to get your hooked carp out of the feeding
zone as quickly and quietly as possible. To do this, set the reel clutch quite tight, but not locked up. Then, with the rod tip kept as low as possible to the water, lean into the fish. Without changing the rod’s position, pull and wind at the same time until your quarry is within netting range. Once you’ve done this a couple of times, playing even the largest carp becomes pretty straightforward, provided you have full confidence in your kit. And this is where owning the correct rod comes into play. This month we look at some of the best pellet waggler rods on the market to cater for a variety of budgets...
FISH-PLAYING ACTION
Pellet waggler rods need to have plenty of whip at the tip for casting lighter floats. The midsection of the rod should have enough cushioning to take the lunges of a big fish at the net without pulling the hook out, while the bottom end of the butt section should be stiff enough to handle powerful casts and big fish. The overall action is progressive, much like a commercial feeder rod, but with more action toward the tip end.
96 • IYCF Issue 338
TACKLE
ROD TIP
The tip section of the rod will invariably be hollow which helps with the blank’s casting action and fish-playing capabilities. Spliced tips have little place in modern day commercial float rods as they are too soft and lack the ability to cast heavier floats.
GUIDES
As reel lines tend to be lightweight from 4lb to 8lb when using pellet waggler tactics the guides should be far enough away from the blank to prevent the line from sticking to the rod and slowing down the cast. You should notice the correct guides on float rods stand away from the blank more than they do on feeder rods.
SPIGOT
Most modern pellet waggler rods have a push-in top section. This design negates flat spots and is easy to produce. More expensive rods have an old fashion spigot that works in a similar manner but is thought to give more transmission and feel to the blank. Spigots should always have a snug fit, but should never meet or the rod will twist, slip and may even fall apart.
KEEPER RING
Fold-flat keeper rings are a nice finishing touch on all rods because they enable the rig to be safely clipped-up before putting the rod down, preventing tangles.
REEL SEAT
Neat and tidy is what’s required. The seat should produce a smooth line along the top and bottom of the handle while locking the reel securely into position. Fixed reel positioning at the top of the handle is also crucial as this aids casting performance. Screw-down style EVA thumb grips add extra grip.
THE HANDLE
Ideally, the handle on a pellet waggler rod should be short enough to allow for manoeuvrability around the body. Also, if you can develop the skill to feed with a catapult while holding the rod, the handle needs only to be long enough from the hand to just past the elbow.

ARP fishing on canals has become more popular as ever more anglers shun increasingly busy day-ticket stillwaters and turn to the quiet, more challenging, towpaths of the UK’s network. With more than 2,000 miles of canals in the country, locating and catching carp can be a daunting prospect for anyone starting out but, by following a few simple steps, good results are easier to achieve than you think. One thing to consider before loading your car for your first canal fishing session is that if fish weighing more than 40lb are your quarry you may as well stick to your local syndicate.
CARP Canal fish are never going to break your scales but what you do get is some truly stunning fish and a terrific sense of achievement when you catch one. Because they are relatively unpressured, canal carp can also often be easier to catch than their stillwater counterparts. And contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to fish long sessions or even through the night to catch canal carp. Early morning and evening can be the key times for catching them so short sessions before and after work is often all you need to register your first results.

CARP LOVE A CRUSTY BOILIE! Boilies take some beating but Sticky’s Rob Burgess has a clever trick to make his baits even more attractive to the residents of the historic Wraysbury North Lake Words Rob Burgess Photography Dan Wildbore

CARP
W
E ARE here at Wraysbury, a lake that I have fished a couple of times in the BCAC finals, but in general it is pretty new to me. At this time of year, the fish are going to be in the safe zones taking advantage of the cover and shallow water. The carp will be seeking out the warmer water and if it is somewhere that anglers can’t fish, they will most certainly be there. The swim that I am in now has all of the above. It is called the Lawns and faces an outof-bounds area with shallow water and an abundance of snags. The carp were there in numbers when I arrived, so it was a no-brainer for me to set up here. There are a set of buoys preventing you from fishing behind the back of the island, so I wanted to get as tight to that as I possibly could.
Find the safe areas
Until the weed comes up in the summer, the fish will spend as much time as they can in the safe areas of any lake, whether that be the middle, in snags or out-of-bounds sections. Fish will behave differently behind that roped-off area compared to being this side of it, so getting as close to the safe area as possible will always get you more bites. I clipped up as tight as I could and the spot felt lovely and clean as I felt down the lead. It’s clearly a spot that they are happy to feed on. With so many snags behind the rope and fishing so close to the rope itself, I used braided mainline. It has zero stretch, so every time I hit the clip it will land bang on. Equally,
Rob’s swim enabled him to fish close to the out-of-bounds area where a number of fish were spotted
“I am convinced that this gets me more bites than standard boilies” if I get a bite, I will know instantly and be able to stop the fish getting into the snags. Because the spot was hard I wanted to fish a bait on the bottom. I am a huge fan of a balanced bait on a rig that will re-set should it be picked up by a carp and ejected. To achieve this, I tie a simple combi-link with the main
section being stiff fluorocarbon. I use a 12mm Signature pop-up as hookbait, plugged with a little lead wire to balance it perfectly. For whatever reason, yellow baits seem to be the real winners for me at the minute and it’s a colour that a many anglers ignore in favour of other options.
Draw the carp to the lakebed
Unlike mono, braid has no stretch which enabled Rob to cast his rigs with improved accuracy
The carp soon showed interest in a balanced yellow Signature pop-up over a bed of boilies
Like all carp the ones in Wraysbury absolutely love boilies and l believe these baits pick out the bigger fish. Instead of using them straight out the bag, I have a few tricks to help them give off even more attraction. This is important because the carp are constantly in and out of these bays and I want something that is going to pull them down to the bottom to feed. I start by pouring my Krill boilies into a bucket. I then coat them in the Pure Krill Liquid. Carp love this stuff and it is so salty and sticky that it clings on to the bait. Once they are glazed, I add Krill Powder. This light, fluffy
HOW TO GIVE YOUR BOILIES A CRUSTY COATING
Start by pouring a bag of Krill boilies into a bucket
Pour Pure Krill Liquid over the boiles until they are all coated
Add a sprinkling of Krill Powder that will now cling to the boilies
Leave for 24 hours and your boilies will have an attractive coating IYCF June 5 – July 3, 2018 • 117
