Margot Carp Lake – Questions and Answers

Paul Cooper, one of our expert Field Testers, recently answered a query about Margot, a good read if you’re going out to the venue this year!
Hi Paul, 
I’m at Margot this Saturday and was wondering as a regular if you have any favoured swims/areas/tactics etc? Thank you for your time. 
This is a good choice of venue and I am sure that you will love it there.  My personal choice of swims would be swim 3 or 4. Fish straight out in front of you about 80 to 85 yards and you will find a nice area to build up a feeding table. The bottom is a little silty but the fish feed well here.

Keep the bait going in the same place and do not spread your bait around. Stick to one baited area all week and feed the swim regularly once you start getting runs. It may take a few days for the swim to develop, but stick at it and you should get the results. I would fish 2 rods on the baited area and the others just off it. I would avoid putting out pellet as this attracts in the grassies, that is unless you want to catch them. The grass carp are massive and can take some handling once in the net and on the bank.
Best of luck and I look forward to see you holding a few biggies on the feedback reports.
