Top man, I thought as much, thank you

Would you recommend using mono or fluorocarbon snag leaders?

As long as its strong, you'll do fine..
Imo these fish arent as pressured as in the UK, so no need to camouflage..
Seen people catch fish on yellow flourencend braid.

Good tactic btw for not picking up youre line with your motor.
As you have good sight on them...
Friends of mine are on 47 from the 20th of august.
Dont know when youre on in august, but its likely they will come after you.

My advice for leads would be to take a full range from 3oz to 12oz and remember that occasionally you could easily be casting to your markers...it's not always about boat work,etc. Also if you are fishing distance don't get pissed off if the pike anglers, etc etc pick up your lines,..it is extremely annoying BUT by rights we shouldn't be fishing in excess of 100 metres...although we all are guilty of doing it.

I'm in post 47, a friend of mine has fished it a lot and said that time of year some of the spots are no more than 20 yards.
I'm well used to the pike anglers, jet skis, boats etc as fished plenty of other public waters.... Found out the hard way once, was on Lac Amance on Bastille Day 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Probably sick of all my questions on this thread lol, but about to place a bait order. Obviously taking tigers, but Is it worth avoiding fishmeals and oils because of the cats?
And presumably crayfish?

The crays werent a problem last week, we had 3 cats all one meatbased baits.
Doesnt mather wich bait u use, the cats will have m.
Just use what your comfortable with.
Weather is more important, no wind is no carp.
Just had one carp last week, not even bad as there were only 2 carp caught the whole week on the main bassin.
30 degrees and no wind, than u can better stay at home..
The mozzies were also from hell, couldnt stay outside after 7 p.m.
