3. How do I prevent bycatch in the fall?
Not at all!
Well, this myth of "big bait big fish" is buzzing around again and again.
In our opinion, this is only partially true.
We really talk to carp anglers a lot and so far nobody has said that they only caught big carp with big baits and had no bycatches.
Finally, when a bream wants to eat the bait, it usually succeeds!
If not, she'll play with it until the hook gets caught somewhere on the side!
The fact is, if you fish a body of water that simply has a lot of white fish such as bream, chub, tench and so on, you will simply have to catch them too :-)
