South African Summer Carp Baits, Dips & Feed, Catching Carp In Summer
When Summer comes around in South Africa it normally means that the Carp are going to be more active and more easier to tempt into taking a well presented bait. There are many Carp tips I could tell you about here when fishing in the warmer months for South African Carp but without a doubt the most important part of Summer Carp angling is the bait, dip and feed (Mielie bomb) used. On this page you will find out the best Carp baits, Carp feed and Carp dips that generally work the best in South African Summers.
In general more flavour and sweeter flavour works a lot better in Summer than Winter for South African Carp, although a combination of both could be used really effectively to draw the carp in and find your baits...
