Due to go out to the venue this year for the first time. Just wondering how much bait I should be taking with me? I did see a post which I can't find anymore someone saying they were putting in 5kg a day?

When I fished it used 40 kilos by the Wednesday landing about 35 fish then cut back on the bait as I was running low and landed only about 10 more all week after that so if there on you then you'll use loads but if there not then obviously you'll need less.

Depends on if the fish are having it.
I would take 20 kilos and buy the rest out there!
we made the mistake of taking 80killos and didn't use it 2 yrs ago.
Im due last week in sept this year. Been a few times before!
Think last year I used about 65kilos of boiilies and particles in August for 15 fish.

I was thinking of taking 50kg of boiliie can always bring it back if I don't use it. If it really kicked off I can get extra particle whilst I'm there

I've been a few times over the years and caught well as have others setting traps for a bite at a time. It's not only pile it in stuff.

They defiantly responded to spombing when I was there. Literally 10 mins after spombing the rod would go.
And certain times of the day it would kick off the same time every day, pretty mad as it was 38 degrees in the shade when we were there!
But the year previous we couldn't buy a bite over bait. Tiny pva balls of sweet corn hooked on the hook proved best.
I guess its best to be well prepared with bait and like said you can always take it home.

Gutted! Still don't understand why Tony's shut it for the whole year?
I guess he has his reasons. Hopefully can get back on in the future!

Can´t be just because of the virus warning, can it?

I went in April a few years back and only used 20kg Cell all week. Had fish on me but just fed 2/3kg a day as i dont think they were feeding really hard it was still abit cold at night. I just chopped my 18mm baits in half so got more for my money if you know what i mean. All bites came at night and had 12 fish 5x40s 7x30s

Came from a 5 day January session... Took advantage of them being opened this winter and practically no anglers on
because of restrictions...had 13 fish to 63lb... Very impressed by the stock in the lake.

Rather than start a new thread i thought i'd resurrect this one. Any regulars have any info/advice on Swim 2 at beginning of May? I know the swim can do big hits but any advice re baiting, areas etc would be much appreciated
