Danny Fairbrass

Korda carp fishing expert Danny Fairbrass returns in Masterclass 9 and showcases exactly how to tackle Bottom Bait fishing including everything you need to know to help you catch more carp.

Danny shows you how to find the perfect spot for a bottom bait rig and how to adjust it to perfectly suit any lakebed it lands on. This comprehensive guide is a must for anyone who fishes in Summer and Autumn and with cutting-edge rig mechanics (inc Spinner Rig) it will enhance the effectiveness of anyone’s approach.

He pays a visit to Embryo Angling’s Phil’s Lake, which is a weedy gravel pit in Oxfordshire, where he goes into great depth about exactly how, why, and when, he likes to fish bottom baits – which also includes any buoyant bait where the hook is still on the lakebed.

This type of fishing is essential to have in your armoury, as there are good periods of the year where the fish are happy to come in and feed heavily on baited areas, and you want to be able to maximise your chances of catching as many as possible.
