Me personally would loose feed first an see how u get on.If you don't catch you can always add the ground bait later.Up here in the north its little an often becouse it's still freezing cold,and the fish just haven't switched on yet. good luck with your fishing and tight lines.

If you're fishing 'on the drop' I'd suggest a small number of maggots every now and then, if you're fishing on the bottom then groundbait with a few maggots included....

Don't forget there is a third alternative, which is especially useful if it's windy, or at a distance where throwing accuracy is a problem. That is to put maggots in with a swimfeeder, with or without a hook attached! As you can mark the line you know that every load is going in at exactly the same distance, even if not quite on the same line.

Good point Colin. And if you find a tree or other feature to aim at you sgould get both line and length sorted.
