hello to everyone here, i have recently started fishing again i used to go all the time in my teens but lost contact with all the people i used to go with and have recently re-took it up again
this year i have found a local lake that is new to me and is quite large and have seen and heard of alot of people bagging up on there
the lake as some really big bream, roach, carp, grass carp, pike, orfe/ide, and tench and perch
but all i have managed to catch so far this year is roach up to just under 1lb a few crucian carp the odd bream but nothing to write home about most sessions i only manage to catch small roach and perch
i have tried fishing maggots and corn over bread crumbs and trout pellets just off the bottom i have tried fishing away from the bank and also in next to the weeds but so far have not managed to produce the catches other people are getting in the lake
can anyone suggest anything i could do or something i am doing wrong?
cheers
mike
