Thinking of going here for a social and catch up.

Never been before and wanted a few tips/tactics to show my mates up who have been before, I hear it's an easy venue where a hook in the water will catch, but I want to haul them and out fish my mates.

He who spods more catches more on there

Spodding over zigs.......just keep going until they turn up....then keep going until you go home. Always carnage

I used 30kg of particle in 36 hours.
caught 59 carp to 24lb

keep spodding, then spod again, then land a fish and carry on spodding..........

Chinese take away is banging on there I must add.

its a res mate so bottom is rock hard.
just fill it in with bait.
zigs or bottom baits it don't matter. don't overthink it just feed them and they will come.

I went a couple of weeks back and it had been very quiet that week and even some of the regulars were struggling.

As in actually blanking.

Were they using hooks?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
