Something for you, bream tend to feed and vacuum an area, everything on it, so pellets, particles, groundbait, natural food, bream stay on the area until its gone, or until its daylight, then they start feeding again.

Just a single bait, PVA bag, mesh or stringer worth is enough to get a take from carp.

Quite often if you don't want bream, don't put much bait in.

Please note that first paragraph, on a couple of waters I have fished, bream only fed at night, during the day they were still on the area just hanging.
Yet on some lakes they will feed nonstop, or until a fish is hooked and lost, then move.

I don't mean for loosing fish, but for eliminating bream.

Not really a snowman but I once had a 27lb carp on 5 x 20mm halibut pellets fished as a bunch.

It wasn't intentional either, I'd cast out a hookbait with a 4 bait stringer attached to it, only I'd tied the stringer with floss instead of PVA, so the stringer didn't dissolve as intended, the fish had 3 of the 5 baits in its mouth!

I'd got to the lake before first light in the winter (I know Halibut pellets in the winter, what was I doing!?) and tied it up in my half awake state, obviously only realised what I'd done when I caught!

When I was a kid, before I had buzzers I would reel my pike baits in and put the baited rig under my rod tips in the edge for the night, my god what was I doing,
Enyway 2 or 3 times in the morning the rod tip would be moving and there would be a carp on the end, mad,
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
