I have been fishing my hole life and I've been fishing specimen for over fifteen years

I have found that it's all about location,locating fish is easy if you know what features to look for.

Here are some to locate your bigger size carp:

1 look for grass patches in water

2 check the depth that your fishing(big carp don't always petrol deep water)

3 always fish towards a feature of some sort like logs,grass,rocks,reeds or islands 

4 look for spots where fish are ACTIVE

My favorite specimen bait must be tiger nuts.

I love Nash baits,they are a bit expensive but they really put allot off effort

into preparing there ground and hook baits.

Look out for there Dips,i had great results on Sweet Corn,Grape,peace and banana 

i Hope this will help next time you go out
