Carp fishing is not rocket science, nor is it rocket science. Even if carp anglers always like to try out the craziest and most sophisticated strategies and tactics, it can quickly become confusing for many beginners, especially at the beginning!

So that you don't have this problem, we would like to give you the following 5 golden tips right at the beginning, so that it works for you with your first (capital) carp!

1. Find the right spot for your carp fishing hide.

Choosing the right spot to successfully fish for carp is one of the most important points of all! Don't choose your spot based on whether you can sit comfortably there, but whether carp are staying and eating there. Striking and very often promising spots are herb fields, water lilies, overhanging trees, edges on the bottom of the water, plateaus or reverse currents and current edges (in the river).

2. Let the carp show you where to fish.

Always be on the lookout for bottoming, rolling or jumping carp. If you can observe something like this, then you should not hesitate and definitely put down one of your rods there!

3.Trust in tried and tested tactics.

If you hear from other carp anglers that certain strategies or tactics work particularly well on your target water, don't hesitate to adopt and use them. So you save a lot of time and fish much more effectively!

4. Prepare yourself before your hide.

Don't start worrying about your strategy and tactics until you get to the water (if you already know the course or know something about it!)

5.Keep it simple and easy.

Don't lug around tons of tackle and baits that only hinder you or make you inflexible when fishing and you can change places faster and easier. Use rigs and baits that have proven themselves and have successfully persuaded countless fish to go ashore!
