Hi all
I'm down on the south coast and the last week has been noticeably colder at night.
I have 72 hours booked from tomorrow and I'm undecided as to weather I should put down a good bed of particles or boilies?
My syndicate is a hard lake all year round and this is my main session for this year due to work so would like a few out.
Iv seen a few posts on fb over the bank holiday about lots of lakes blanking and people putting it down the pressures.
Any advice would be appreciated

I was in the colne valley sat and Sunday night i dont think any one had anything over the weekend so done sat night on singles and nothing so put a good spread of boilies down Sunday night and had one on Monday that's pretty much my approach when doing 48hours as you cant take it out once in.

Difficult to answer without any knowledge of the water, do all you can to get on the fish and take it from there.
Weather wise we had a change down south to North Westerlies on Friday with some lovely low pressure throughout the week but it's now gone back to the normal South, South West, West and the air pressure is fairly stable, Thursday looking the best for me with a stronger wind also.
The nights are cooler and change in light levels.
Have a think how the above may effect the fish on there.
Take enough bait for any eventuality, you never know how things might turn out.
Best of luck and enjoy it.

You really need to bait in accordance with the levels of activity mate. No point putting a good bed of anything down if they aint having it. You'll kill it before you've begun.

I would tend to step up the amount of ground baiting as the 'dog days' of summers are behind us. Its not for nowt that the daily feed ration increases on the carp farm as the temperatures fall into a much more suitable range. External stresses linked to higher temperatures decrease too.

I was a postie for 22 years and wore shorts all year round. Didn't mean it was always summer

Cold nights/mornings at this time of year will do little to the water temp. If anything it will reduce it slightly into a reasonable feeding range.
The pit I fish is average 12ft and unless we get a beast from the east I'll be using a decent amount of bait until early December
