Hi all
I will be the first to admit to being a bit of a warm weather angler, with my gear going into hibernation by October and not normally seeing the light of day until April at the earliest, and the older I get and the more arthritic I get the worse I get.
I have now gone and spent out on some warm and waterproof gear and fancied giving winter fishing a go, but need a few tips on baits and presentation.
I only fish commercials and 90% of that is mini method with 2mm pellets on the feeder and 6mm boilies or pellets as hook bait.
What's the best approach for winter, I was thinking of giving the old standby of liquified bread in a small cage feeder and bread on the hook, does that sound like a plan or has anyone got any other advice.
I will obviously not doing long sessions but would like to help my chances of catching a few to make the cold nose and fingers worth it.
Thanks for any help and tips.
Paul
