How much bait to use on a day session?

[Jordan+Lauren 1]

Hi,

just wondering if anybody could help us on this sticky situation, we have been fishing a lake for 4 months and we’ve had nothing apart from bites but no runs, it’s a very weedy lake we’ve put bait in multiple spots, we’ve even baited up a week prior to our next fishing trip but nothing seems to be working It’s a big lake too! could somebody please help us on this situation thanks.

Can you expand a little. If you're  getting bites but no runs means you're doing something right, hopefully a little tweak here or there will convert bites in to fish. So What bait are you using (boilies, particles, pellets etc), what rigs are you using, size of bait? Do you know how many fish are in this lake and how big are the fish?

You need to expand on this. Imo a bite and run are the same thing.

First things first - have you been on fish (i.e. have you been seeing carp activity on your spots while you've been fishing)?

We’ve tried bottom baits,dna milky melts pop ups on a multi rig,Ronnie rig and a zig rig, there’s about 40-50 fish in here we’ve used boillies and pellets too nothing seems to work it’s a 22 acre lake

Yes we’ve been seeing the fish on our spots, at the moment it’s too weedy

Maybe a presentation issue? What are the spots like? Clear of weed?

Are other anglers catching?

On top of what the other guys have said have you been pre baiting with boilies ?, do you know what type of weed it is and how deep it runs eg, bottom to surface.
