Catching Fish From Shore

When gathering up your Carp Fishing Tackle and getting ready to go catch a monster fish, you must know a few key tips that I want to go over. First, many people do not have access to a boat. That means you must fish from shore and your tackle must be able to allow you to reach longer into the water to find the trophies. A carp fishing rod and reel that will allow you to cast over 100 yards is a must in many waters, especially rivers when you need to get to the feeding areas. Grab your entire tackle box and head to the lake or river and make sure you have strong carp tackle.

Once you get there and get ready, be sure to have your rod holders, bite alarms, or any other equipment you will think you will need. Some people just grab a stick and ram it into the ground. You will find sticks all over the world, so that should not be a problem whether you are in America, Europe, Asia, etc.

Getting your bait together should be another proority. Canned corn, worms, boilies, night crawlers, or other carp baits will work. Dough balls are also a solid method of hooking into a monster fish. Be sure to have a stout rod with a reel capable of holding much line. Rods and reels are often overlooked. Your tackle must be strong too. Do not buy cheap swivels, hooks, and leaders. These will cost you a fish of a lifetime. Good luck.
