Pop Ups in Winter

 

Pop-ups in winter

 

Fishing in Devon Pop-ups are a
very useful bait to have in your armoury against the elusive and wiry  fish and can be used on allsorts of rigs, chod
rigs, helicopter rigs etc.

 

Also on the market are high
visual pop-ups, very good for the Carp to see in the murky waters.

 

At Devon fishing holidays we prefer
to use the pop-up more so between the months of November and March, the days
are darker so the “high vis” baits help to attracted more fish towards your swim
and ultimately on to your hook.

 

Also in the winter the fish sometimes
need stimulating to come on the feed, so with a bright bait, strong smelling the
fish are more likely to come on the feed.

 

Another bonus with using the
pop-up during the winter is that all the leaves from trees collects at the
bottom of the lakes and normal bottom baits can become clog or worse hidden
from the fish. Were as the pop-up will raise slightly above the bottom and will
all ways be on show.

 

Try to use one bottom bait and
one pop-up bait and see what works best for you, also don’t discount other
baits like Maggots and boillies straight out of the bag. You have an advantage
at our holiday cottages and fishing centre to have the time and opportunity to
experiment,

 

You can make your own pop ups
from your very own boillie mix. When you have completed your mix, set some
aside and add in a manufacturers, cork dust, pellet or ball. You will need a
bit of trial an error experimentation on the quantities in the mix to achieve
the buoyancy you require. Or try one of our self catering cottages and fishing
centre mixes.

 

I heard a lovely statement when
asking how to make pop ups “I open up a tub of …….. pops or I open a tub
of……..pops, is there another way?”

 

Remember experiment to find out
what will work in the conditions your fishing under (P.S. what are they using
over there?)

 

Come fishing in Devon on a Devon fishing
holiday, stay at our holiday cottages and fishing for fun, Devon self
catering cottages and fishing extraordinaire.
