KRISTIAN’S TOP FIVE TIPS FOR WINTER COMMERCIALS
1. Make sure that you keep warm and are comfortable on the bank. It sounds obvious, but there’s nothing worse than being frozen – it affects your concentration, meaning that you make bad decisions and don’t enjoy your fishing.
2. Watch the clock! Carp at this time of year feed late on, so don’t expect to catch loads from the off. Plan on spending the final 90 minutes of a session looking for them. Be patient, keep feeding and you will catch a few.
3. While waiting for the carp to clock on, begin by fishing for silverfish. They’re reliable feeders, and whether they’re small roach or big skimmers, the regular bites keep you busy.
4. Don’t be afraid to feed. This is one thing I always want to get across on coaching days. It might be cold, but the fish will feed at some point, but not if there’s no bait in the peg. Look to find the deepest part of your peg and keep trickling in eight to 15 maggots regularly.

Fishing tips
“Carp tend to prefer dead maggots, and they attract less attention from silver fish.”
“When it comes to targeting stillwater chub, there is no better tool to use than the waggler float, especially in really clear water conditions.”
“When targeting chub in commercial still waters you need to feed heavily at the beginning of the session then cut down as it continues.”
“Dark casters are the best shade to use on the hook as their buoyancy helps to counter the weight of the hook, allowing the caster to sink naturally.”
“Carp often feed close in, right up against the bank. Next time you are fishing a carp water, try laying your tackle just a couple of inches from the bank – you will be surprised how often it works.”
“For choppy conditions, a long float is more stable and, as a waggler is attached to the mainline bottom end only, the longer the float, the further under the water your mainline will be. This stops the float being blown out of the swim by a crosswind.”
“In warmer weather carp will intercept a falling bait quite readily. In colder water there is a lot to be gained by making very small lifts and drops with the hook bait. These little movements will often be enough to induce a fish to take the bait.”
