Pre bait is the way to go i think, go to a big pet food store and get some vitalin and bird seed its dead cheep, prepare properly and put about a 5 leter bucket full in every 2 to 3 days and a few boiles, I did this this time last year on the Bridgewater canel and banked 6 carp and lost about 4 in a over night session

pre bait for several weeks, but bait up several areas because fish move and they could be anywhere. take less kit and be mobile"

You are in the best Canal Carping area bar none mate. Take a look around a few marinas, they go to big 30's. Tring is just down the road (M1) and the whole stretch has numerous Carp well into 30s.

Big Tip: Find where the people on Sundays feed the ducks whilst walking with the grandkids. The Three Locks springs to mind, right outside the pub.

Morning Paul,

From experience I can tell you that the section near the Giffard Park Pub is worth a crack. Theres a couple of low twenties commons that are partial to a mixer off the top near an overhanging willow on the far side. Thers also another Marina a bit further South near Bolbeck Park where I believe a few good fish have come out.
