Three smart tips for your summer feeding tactics

When summer arrives, carp behavior changes. How can you ensure you catch more carp with a good feeding strategy? Below, we share three tips for summer feeding!

Carp baiting behavior in summer

Due to the higher water temperatures, carp are quite active in summer. A good feeding strategy is therefore crucial for success! With one of the tactics below, you'll get the most out of your summer fishing.

Easily digestible boilies

In summer, carp tend to eat more. Therefore, it's important to use easily digestible bait that's absorbed quickly. For example, choose boilies with a higher fishmeal content that are easily digested.

These nutrients will quickly attract carp to your swim and keep them hanging around longer. The longer they stay, the greater your chances of catching them and keeping your feeding area productive!

Varying with diameters

Because there's a large supply of (natural) food in summer, carp can become more selective when it comes to bait choice. They may prefer smaller bait particles like 12mm or 15mm boilies . Smaller baits are also generally less susceptible to dressing.

Small bait is therefore a good option in summer, but it can also be detrimental when there are a lot of whitefish on a water. The best approach for feeding in summer is to mix with diameters. This creates a varied food supply that arouses the carp's curiosity and quickly encourages them to feed.

In addition, a feeding area with different diameters seems a lot more natural and therefore safer for the fish.

Give feed mix extra attraction

A final tip to attract more carp to your swim is to give your bait mix a (liquid) boost. The easiest way is to add a liquid bait booster . This releases an extra strong scent underwater, making your bait even more attractive.

You can also add small and/or crushed food particles to your mix, such as ground hemp, crushed tiger nuts or boilie crumb.

Keep the carp busy

When carp fishing in the summer, it's also important to regularly re-bait your feeding areas to keep the fish occupied. Do this based on bites: if you get a bite quickly, you can safely add more bait. If it takes a long time (more than two hours) for a bite, be a little more cautious with your bait.

The sooner you get a new bite, the more you can feed. Constantly adjust your bait to match bites and get the most out of your summer fishing!

Good luck ;-)
