Blanked here last week ( except for a few lovely roach ) - tactics were big method feeder to likely spots or fishing to somewhere I could cast accurately ( ie under arm lob out ) and fish a feeder full of pellets and cast every 3 minutes trying to build up a bed of bait.
Fished it the same a couple of years ago and My lad had about 5 carp out - maybe they have had a flood again and the carp have p***d off ( it wasnt till late afternoon that we say any sign of carp activity )
We were thinking of getting a 24 hour pass - this is our plan
depending on which way the wind is blowing fish into the wind
lay a carpet of bait out either by handballing it in , using a spod , or using a 13M pole with a cup on it ( both to put the bait out and place the feeder [ is that mad ? ] )
use flouro hooklengths as they are a bit stiffer than shop bought ones
try and find a way to mount a prawn on a hair rig ( think the perch keep having them )
All suggestions welcome hope the pic is the right way round
