chillfactor 3,241 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Stuck much bait out spr ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spr1985 1,149 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't think so, about 20 to 30 baits over two rods out at the same distance a couple of rod lengths apart and five crushed boilies a handful of pellet and a couple of spoonfuls of hemp and corn over a margin spot.......thoughts?

spr1985 1,149 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Short session mate, over night and half the day tomorrow I'll probably head home around 13:00 to 14:00 ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never fished the lake mate as you know ,so it's difficult to give any decent advice ..... but I did look at a few catch reports & read a few bits on my fb feed when you & Neil were struggling on there . I think you need to up the baiting mate keep a little bit going in , there be on the feed come morning & there's plenty in there. Me I wouldn't mess about minimum of a kilo on each rod probably more tbh. Get out the bag & get baiting spr1985 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillfactor 3,241 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Truck load of salt cm .... still got your pmt then. For that venue & the stock levels it wouldn't kill anything. If you listen to carpmachine your be fishing 8ft short of your spot, but he knows best apparently & we are all out our depth ! Condescending as usual. Spr I wish you luck mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chillfactor 3,241 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Never said I was an expert, we leave that to big heads like you . Just think of all those fish you would of caught over all those years if you would of actually been fishing where you thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crusian 1,135 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Off fishing myself in a moment . Tight lines Spr ! . I don't think CM is condecending , he strikes me as a straight up and down guy . It's a shame CM and Chill bicker they've both been very helpful to me .

nigewoodcock 1,728 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I had one, yeah! To be fair, I've not had a bad winter, catching consistently and all following a similar pattern. Bait up with a few spods, have a fish or two early (sometimes even before I've got the second rod out). Not many other fish out over the winter, even though people have been fishing it. Maybe it's the boilie I use???? Lol the last session I had was my first fish of the season on a zig. The bites slowed up on the bait and a switch to the zigs scored. It's as good be been trying to get across over the last few threads - if your a one trick pony, your results will suffer. Time and place and all that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spr1985 1,149 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've just chucked a zig out for the first time just to see if anything occurs, fingers crossed 🤞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was fishing a pop up over the bed of bait for the whole of winter as it was producing. As soon as the results slowed, I've switched to zigs, fishing them where I have observed fish moving through. I have still had one rod over a baited spot (losing one the other day off it). looks like you just miss read my previous post. I have also known lakes where people say that they can't be caught on floaters, beds of boilie, pop ups, zigs etc etc. Nothing like proving them wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do you explain catching on zigs throughout the night then steve? The fish don't just sit on the bottom when the sun hides behind a cloud!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nigewoodcock 1,728 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 The bottom of a lake is different to the upper layers in the amount of available light. Also a zig is not backdropped by the bottom of the lake like a bait fished on the deck would be. You just have to open your mind and think logically about things.

nigewoodcock 1,728 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Again mate, you are trying to compare two completely different things in zig fishing and bait fishing. There isn't just one answer!!! By the way, my zigs are 'flavoured'!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nigewoodcock 1,728 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Unflavoured ones will still catch, a little soaking or spray will only add to your success. It's the same old thing, where you put them, that makes the most difference. Like I say though, a completely different situation to baiting and fishing on the deck.
