Commercial Fishing Tips | How to fish meat in shallow water - Pete Upperton

I’ve had lots of success using meat ‘slop’ in shallow water. In deeper swims, standard cubes will be better due to their heavier weight.

What I like about slop is it creates a cloud and gives me more pieces of feed for the relatively small amount that I’m putting in. By that, I mean that if I fed just eight 8mm cubes, one carp could eat the lot and swim off.

By using slop, there are hundreds of pieces in the swim and that makes the fish stay in the peg longer. I use a meat grinder to put the luncheon meat through, which makes slop much quicker than trying to force it through a riddle.

It will catch you plenty of carp - give it a go!
