Some records being broken both in catch rates and numbers of anglers this week with all having a great time fishing and great numbers and quality of fish caught.
Feed little and often to get fish into your swim and don’t overfeed once in just feed enough to keep you catching however it is worth keeping another swim fed in case fish dry up in the one swim.
Some excellent fishing on all lakes and best bait has been feeder with angel soaked pellets with added fishmeal and pellet banded or hair rigged. Using top 3 on pole or using float tight in margins just of reeds at first shelf has anglers catching high numbers of fish in excess of 50 carp in half-day sessions, plus great numbers of silvers.
Paste now working as is pellet, maggots, worm cocktail is better than just worm, luncheon meat cubed or punched is working well. Several season ticket holders coming in at 5 am or evenings have bagged some quality specimen fish.
