You arrive at a venue, a lake in this instance, knowing the lake to have previously been full prior to you arrival.
You know nothing of the bait that has gone in, and you rather suspect a lot has gone in the day before you arrive.
How would you approach it?
Personally, I would watch the water very carefully looking for signs of fish showing or feeding (the usual stuff), but bearing in mind a lot of bait could have gone in, I would be very wary of over-doing it!
So, for the first 24hrs, I would probably fish single hookbaits, with perhaps just a pva bag of pellet and/or stick mix with a couple of boilies crumbed into the mix on one rod.
On another rod, I would go very light again, with perhaps a stringer.
On the third, I might have a fluro pop-up - maybe off the lead, and use this to cast to showing fish (if they are indeed showing).
If I am then succesful, on either of the above methods, I may put more bait in to keep them in front of me. Then fish accordingly.
So, I'll ask again:
