If anyone can offer any words of wisdom on how to approach the specimen lake at Wood Lane I'd appreciate it.
I've been a few times but only the match lake, and did OK on the pellet waggler a couple of months ago when it was warmer. Nothing amazing, a few of the hard fighting F1's, some skimmers and bigger bream, roach and the odd common around 6lb.
I'd like to try the specimen lake this week and was planning on having a go with a micro cage feeder, (micro pellet/groundbait) but a little unsure on hook-bait this time of year. By the way I don't have a pole.
Would the above feeder approach for bigger carp be a good idea, perhaps use larger pellet or perhaps a brighter hookbait such as single corn. I've used real and fake before on the match lake with success.
I know it's not the best but the fishery is quite near to me and convenient.
thanks
