Definitely one for the experts
This coming Tuesday, I’ll be fishing a nine acre syndicate lake. There’s about 80-100 carp. Majority are mid doubles, about 15 twenty’s and about 6 thirty’s. There are double figure bream and double figure tench. The venue has 40 members of which half rarely fish it but just wish to keep their syndicate membership open. There is a fair amount of weed about half an acre and mostly in the margins but some in the middle. It has an average depth of about 5 feet, but with the sonar I’ve found a hole that drops to 7 feet. The sonar showed up many fishing holing up here on Tuesday this week. (you’ll know the temperature on Tuesday).
The members that do fish it do not spod (through fear of upsetting other anglers) and the lake has never seen a baitboat, although I’m allowed to use mine. Many of the fish have come out on tigers although many come out on boilies. There is oodles of natural food from shrimp to bloodworm.
I’m confident with my rigs and my baits in which I’ll use two boilies on the bottom and change accordingly through the day. I’ll be using pellet and blended particles (pigeon conditioner, maize, peanut, tigers and hemp all soaked and blended) that I’ll take out on the boat with a few loose fed boilies.
Question to experts such as Rik and Andrew is, this lake has never seen a baiting campaign due to lack of anglers and fear of spodding and no baitboats etc, is this a perfect opportunity to take advantage of this? How would you go about this? I don’t mean fill-em up with boilies, more like pile in the pellet that will dissolve and pile in the blended particles?
Your thoughts and approach are appreciated.
