Favourite Style of Carp Fishing - My fishing styles really come down to the venue I'm fishing. If baiting and waiting works, I’m happy to set out and wait for the fish to turn up to the party, or if moving to find them tucked up in a corner or off the back of the wind is what’s required, then I’m happy to oblige. I leave it to the session I'm fishing to try and tell me this. I find this can work well, especially on large pits such as Nene Valley. I fish for big carp, old carp and carp that can be found in tricky venues. So, it really is just a case of what takes my fancy during that particular outing. I fish all year round and love nothing more than to catch a winter carp.

About Dale

I’m a passionate carp angler and family man based in the midlands area of the UK. I've fished near enough my whole life, starting with my father on the canals, progressing in to match angling, along with predator and, of course, my beloved carp angling.

Carp angling is where my heart is and as the years passed that deep, inner passion led me to where I am today. Nowadays, my fishing consists of different venues, different tactics, and different water types. From the large gravel pits to the small, intimate clay pits, big carp to very old ones. They all have a place in my heart.

I’m an active angler, one who is always looking for the next move. Catching is my priority and that’s what I like to do, so if it's not happing for me, I'll get up and move on to try and make the most of my session. Baiting up hard, with 3 rods on a spot, to lowering baits into the margins. For me it’s about what works on the day to make that session a success.

Best piece of angling advice:

Have a clear mindset, but also open minded on what you’re going fishing for. Just because you didn’t get your favourite swim, or get your favourite lake, still go, and enjoy your fishing. Do it for yourself and let the rest take care of itself.
