Nice fishing, I'm a newbie at carp fishing what is a swim?

 

 

swim means a specific spot you like to fish...

 

when most of the info you read or see comes from the uk you pick up some of the phrases and slang...lol

Mike hit the nail on the head!

 

 

Swim = spot

Venue = lake or river

Bivvy = tent

Boilie = chunk of dough or corn meal

Inline pear = big sinker

Gutted = upset I lost my fish

Chuffed to bits = Happy I got my fish

Maize = corn

Method mix = a bunch of oats and cream corn that can form a ball to bring fish in

Baitrunner = reel that can switch to free spool (loose drag)

 

 

Ex, I was in my bivvy at the local venue, in my favourite swim, fishing an inline pear with some method mix and maize with a single boilie when a proper common took my rig and the baitrunner wasnt clicked on............ my rod went in the swim and I was gutted but I grabbed it quickly and landed the fish and I was chuffed to bits!

 

That should get you started - the rest is downhill lol...... ps remember.... until you get a baitrunner....... loosen your drag or so say goodbye to your rod when you grab a sandwich, take a leak, check your phone, or have a nap!

Ya, I'm planing on going. Sounds like a fun social with a bit of competition thrown in! I've never participated in a carp fish-in before.
