					<description><![CDATA[Nice post Paul and a tactic I use a lot, and vary according to the time of year.  I generally go to France in April, May, July and October.  On my trips in the early season, when the nights can be very cold, I rarely fish nights and therefore &quot;rest&quot; the swim when the carp are at their least active. 

In the summer, it would generally be the other way round and I will fish nights and rest the swim during the day.  However, if I&#039;ve had a good catch during the day then I wont bother to fish the night and therefore I am fresh for the next days session and I find that I fish better that way rather than just 24/7.  

I believe this adds to my total catch rate rather than decreasing it and has the added bonus of an evening social :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It certainly is yet another tip out of the bag. Some may try it but possibly will not persevere with it.. Once I have made the decision to try this method, I generally stick it out and get the results. 
The only problem that you can get is on a really spooky water where the fish tend to move to other parts of the lake after a couple of occurrences on the rods. Pat and I found this on a 25 care lake a few years ago and I think that we ended up moving around 5 times on a 7 day session. It worked for both of us as we had carp most days, and biggies. We baited up lightly during the day following a move, and only fished at night, but obviously on a different swim each time. Again it is being able to read the water and knowing what is happening beneath the water surface, in other words &quot;water craft&quot;.

					<description><![CDATA[its a tactic I&#039;ve used with some success on shallow clear waters where lines are so obvious in daylight. I&#039;ve watched and while the lines were out the carp never ventured into the area. Bait your spots, cast to them, clip up your fishing rods then wind them in during the day. At times the carp reappear in minutes. Like Paul I leave the swim and go stalking returning in the evening to recast to the clip. Often the action starts quickly with a fish feeding confidently and there are carp in the net before bedtime.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good read Paul and something i whole heartedly agree with. This is definately a case where sometimes &#039;less is more&quot;. ie less hours the lines are in the water can often mean more carp. Has you say for years we never fished at night on our french trips and our catch rates never suffered and in fact were probably improved. 

This is something i have used on my last couple of trips. Once the feeding / quiet times were established, i would draw my rods in during the quiet times and rest the swim until a couple of hours before the feeding time was due to start. Then rods and bait would be put back out leaving plenty of time for the swim to settle down again before the feeding time started.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great Blog Paul and a method kept on the quiet list by many. If you have the willpower to do this it is one of the best things you can do - get the lines out of the way and give them a free feed.

For those of you who can&#039;t bare to wind in then keep an area baited well away from your lines and keep your eye on it. When the fish get on it let them and don&#039;t be tempted to cast. One good safe meal and being left to sit around without the disturbance of leads and lines and they will definitely be back visiting with even more confidence. The longer you can do this the bigger the hit of fish you should have.

All it is really is pre-baiting a swim - training the carp that it is totally safe.]]></description>
