Hi all,
Can anyone help please?
I am fishing an 8.5 acre lake in gloucestershire, it is heavily fished in summer months but there have been some nice fish caught, at least 5 thirty's and quite a few 20's.
I am not going out to catch big fish but if one comes along all the better. I have been fishing this water since june this year every weekend, sat morning till sun afternoon.
and so far have caught 1 tench.
I have spent several afternoon's with a feature finder in different swim's finding depth's clear patches etc, etc.
But to no avail, I have blanked every session and cant understand why.
TACKLE: I am using 15lb braid mainline atached to 25lb leadcore leader,fox safety rig, to a 6inch hooklink (suffix stealth) size 4 hook's 14mm boilie's (homemade) pva bag filled with pellet & broken boilie's fished over hemp & pellet's. (fishing pop up's & bottom bait's)
BAIT: 3oz c.l.o., 20z semolina, 3oz Soya Flour, 2oz Vitamealo, 2oz 90 mesh Rennet Casein, 2oz 90 mesh Acid Casein, 1oz Whey Protein Conc, 1oz Egg Albumen, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 30ml sunflower oil,
15 ml salmon oil, 15ml liquid mollasses, 5ml liquid betaine, 1 drop gerainium oil, 7 eggs.
so i cant understand why i am blanking all the time.
can anyone help please?
