Surface Fishing

Carp fishing does not get more exciting than watching a fish take your bait! This is why surface fishing for carp is such an exhilarating form of fishing. Many anglers do not have the patience to do more than half-heartedly fire out a few mixers in their swim on a hot day. Although they have fishing rods set up at the bottom, they usually give up quickly or do not even attempt to fish.

If you fall into that category, you are missing out on an opportunity and in Korda's Surface Fishing Masterclass, James Armstrong shows you exactly how to get the best from this method. James also demonstrates the best ways to apply it in varying situations.

What is the Best Bait for Surface Fishing?
The simplest form of fishing for carp on the surface involves free-lining bits of floating bread crust. Alternatively, anglers can use a controller when needing slightly more distance. In Korda's video, James shows fishing at long range and spodding out various floating carp baits to get the carp feeding confidently before you consider casting out.

It can also be a very frustrating form of fishing, with missed bites, and whilst that adds to its appeal, James shows you the carp set-ups that you need, and how to use them, to connect with as many opportunities as possible.

What Do I Need for Surface Fishing?
James talks you through the specifics of tackle needed for carp fishing on the surface and bait and baiting techniques. You will learn not only so you hook the fish, but also have a chance of landing them.

Balanced tackle is the key when using lighter carp fishing lines and smaller hooks to have a chance of fooling them into taking your hookbait in the first place.
