‘EARLY SUMMER CAN BE AS DIFFICULT AS WINTER’
In my personal experience, early summer angling can be really frustrating and almost as difficult as winter angling. I say frustrating due to the fact of locating them is fairly easy on a lot of waters, but trying to get them to feed can be a whole different ball game. Carp can become more localised in areas due to weedbeds, lily pads and the like. These act like magnets for the warmer months and unlike the spring, the big winds don’t always play a part in where the carp will or should turn up. This can also make certain busier waters a lot more peg orientated and trying to get in the pegs that command the water for magnetic weedbeds can become an almost impossible mission.
