Autumn
A beautiful time to be outdoors. The peace, the nature that colors beautifully, and not unimportant, the carp that need to fatten up for the winter. Team member Casper always fishes, rain or shine, fishing must be done. His favorite? The Roasted Nut, of course, for 10 years this bait has brought joy, fun, and beautiful carp to the bank. Very secretly, he sometimes even eats one himself.

Currently, I am fishing on a large, deep water body, and maintaining a good baiting spot is very important during this time of year. I prefer to feed regularly rather than overfeed in one go. My fishing takes place on deep water that, at a depth of 10 meters, is not as cooled down as shallower waters. In short, the water is still warmer, so the fishing and feeding can still be more active.
As a father, I often need to divide my time, which I don't mind at all because fishing every day wouldn't be relaxing. I go well-prepared and head out for an overnight trip every two weeks. Everything needs to go perfectly, and that fish must be caught. When temperatures drop below 0 degrees, I prefer to fish for a few hours during the day instead; it should be a bit comfortable.
Here are some tips that might help you in your autumn fishing:
Feed regularly.
Try to map out the deeper spots of the water.
Ensure you have good clothing and layers.
A warm meal or drink does wonders.
If a spot isn't working, move on and look for another.
Often, carp will jump just after dark or around dawn. So, walk around the water and listen for where the fish are located.
