I have spent the last few years doing my best to take a little gear with me as possible.. I shudder when I see the amount of clobber some guys take.... As I said in the article Jake had fish with no more than a rod, a bucket of bait and a net!!! cheers Gareth Hi Pat,

I keep my gear to a minimum so that i can move within minutes if i see carp showing somewhere else on a lake. By adopting this approach i feel you learn far more about the lake you are fishing (and a lot quicker). You soon build up a picture of where the carp are likely to be at certain times of the day and of the spots where they are likely to feed. There have been many times where i have caught fish within 30 minutes of moving when if i had stayed put i know i would have blanked. A lot anglers today seem to be more intent on 'camping' (with the amount of gear they take) and as such stay in one place all the time even if the fish have moved on. If you take loads of stuff with you you are going to be more reticent to up sticks and move. But it is a waste of time having all the latest tackle, bait and rigs etc if you are not 'on the fish'. Cheers, Pat Hi Gareth,
