Winter Carp Fishing in Crazy Weather! 29lb Mirror & 25lb Common from the Margins 🎣

Trip 3 Carp Fishing - 2026The weather threw everything at me this week — rain, frost, bright sunshine, and strong easterly winds — making it a real challenge to pick the right three days for a winter session.In this video, I head back to a swim I’ve been wanting to properly test after spotting carp there on a previous trip. With light rain moving in Sunday afternoon and an overnight frost forecast, I felt there was a narrow feeding window to capitalise on.The margins proved their worth once again, producing a stunning 29lb 6oz mirror in torrential rain, followed by a hard-fighting 25lb 6oz common at first light. I also worked hard to crack an open-water baited area using small PVA mesh bags and subtle presentations — resulting in additional action and valuable information for future sessions.Not every night went to plan, and the carp reminded me who’s really in charge, but three fish from four bites in tough, fluctuating winter conditions is a result I’m more than happy with.This session was all about:Reading changing weather patternsAdjusting to strong easterly windsMargin fishing tactics in cold waterUsing small PVA bags for precisionObserving fish movement before committing to spotsWinter carp fishing can be brutal, but when it comes together, it makes every damp, cold hour worthwhile.Until next time,Richard
