Guys,
Here is one to get your juices flowing, I am currently fishig a 2 actre pond with an average depth of 9 foot with 150 plus low doubles in it and 4 known 20+ fish and one of these may be 30 lb. I have had one of the big boys this year.
Really my plea is for some help with how to go about catching the biggies. With the amount of fish in the pond you would expect it to be classed as a runs water but blanks here are not uncommon either, my point is that the carp in this water are very very parnoid.
Also finding fish is made difficult by the colour of the water and they do not show themselves.
I had orginally thought that the approach i need to take is to fish until i have caught everything and eventually a big'un will come my way but im trying to hone an approach to even the odds a little.
My current strategy is to feed a few spots at least twice a week, one at the end of my session and the other mid week. I am feeding triple 12 mm bollies with a piece of dry spaghetti to bind them. This is to give the bigger fish a chance to find my bait. My bait is ultra-plex and seems to have a malt choco / fishy flavour to it and its smell isnt disimlar to EXPO groundbait, so guess what i will be using for a bag mix
Also for the size of the water there is usually at least 4 anglers on it at the weekend.
I know i should hit the water mid week but i have a mortagage to pay and a wife to keep happy.
Any comments would be helpful.
Cheers Chog
