ground pellet based ground bait including ground hemp and micro pellets.

Carp might feed better in coloured water. You could try sloppy groundbait mixed with mud to cloud the water up and keep introducing it. How to do this without disturbing them I'll leave to your ingenuity. Something to try if the maggots don't work.

Try some maggots Kevin, alive and dead in various sizes, flavoured and coloured might be good and a gallon should be enough.

The odd pinkie and squatt with some chopped worm and 3 casters should suffice.

Don't forget hemp and various pellet ground baits.

Hope this clears things up for you !!!

mind you
even if only half of stu is being serious it's the equivalent of about 3 normal people.

Cakey - can't agree with this mate. Me and a mate of mine use similar tactics to the above to draw carp OUT of swims that we want to bream fish.
