I was fishing a club stillwater yesterday,the water was gin clear at about 8/9 mts.
so i fished at around 12/13mts in approx 5ft of water, because the water was clear i decided to loose feed caster and hemp alternating hook bait of casters,mags, bread and 4mm pellet,not feeding any g/bait at all, main fish i was after were silvers, started to catch after around 30 minutes,all small roach on caster and mag,none of the better stamp of roach seemed to want to know, after a couple of hours the bites stopped, i'm pretty sure i hadn't over fed,i had another 30minutes bites, altering depth etc,then decided to give them some g/bait [sensas roach] within 20 minutes or so i was hooking a much better stamp of fish, all these years i have not fed g/bait in clear water thinking it would spook anything in my swim,
Do any of you guys regularly feed g/bait in clear conditions
