Hello,
With the close season in effect, I have been looking for still water venues to fish. I have access to a small pool (more of a pond really), that contains slivers and carp. My experience fishing still waters is limited and could use some advice.
I have decided to use a method/pellet feeder. Its not something that I have done much of and I have a few questions.
1. Rod position. How should I have it set up, straight forward? to my left/right? I don't have a box, so I shall be using bank sticks.
2. Where to fish too. This pond is small and has no obvious features. How should I approach this? Cast around and try and find the fish? Just pick a spot and build up a swim?
3. Wind. No, not a side effect of my curry last night. ha. But this pool is a bit exposed. How does the wind effect the fishing? Should I be casting in sheltered areas or do the fish follow the wind?
4. Feed/bait. How much feed should I be chucking in at this time of year? I was thinking 4mm pellets on the feeder with a banded 8mm?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
