I have now been carp fishing seriously for about 5-6 years. When I was about 14-15 I fished a few of the Carp Society Junior Carp Schools, on the famous Horshoe lake. Inspired by the clear waters, and amazing stock as soon as I was 16 I got a ticket for the lake. I fished a summer on their with a good mate, we would get dropped off by one of our parents for long sessions, walking to the nearby shops to get more food. We caught plenty that summer and the learning curve was steep. Since then I have been a member on a Syndicate in Oxford, the lakes on the complex have a healthy stock of carp, but having been pressured for years they have certainly seen it all before.

	ALEXEI BYGRAVE TOP TIPS:

	TIP 1: Get up at first light to look for showing fish TIP 2: Always keep as mobile as possible, and if you see fish then move onto them TIP 3: Keep the disturbance to a minimum

	WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?

	Hopefully I will be able to put some time in for the back end of the winter and the spring, I would really love a few of the chunks from the syndicate I am fishing, fingers crossed!
