I thought it was normal to educate ourselves before fishing a new water but yes I'll be whipping the marker rod out on arrival
I'm not sure on the stock either but have been told 1 or 2 30s

Pre 🎫 ticket Research, do your homework.
Whatever people call it, Nowadays is it Educate, or have it put on a plate....
Any water, total stock is X, certain target ‘chunk' ‘scaley banger' of choice 20/30/40/50lb, yeah fish this swim, this many wraps, cast to tall tree... personally it sort of takes the shine off it for me.
How did people ever suss out a new/unknown water before social media, eh ?
Just fish it blind. Bigger buzz. Work it out as you go. Just enjoy. Walk, look, listen, and savour the learning curve & mistakes first hand.
Good luck James

Blimey I used to fish this lake over 50 years ago as a kid, my dream was one day to fish the 'Main Bank' where the older and far wiser anglers fished, alas it was not meant to be as moved on to mopeds as I became of age to fish it

My biggest tip is major on the Summer months.
Plenty of scantily clad titty walking through the park when it's sunny. After dark, not so good..........

Which scenario would you get more personal satisfaction from?
Scenario 1:
Get recommended a bait, told to use the latest fandango rig, told there's a gravel spot at 52 yards from swim X where the biggun gets caught every spring - catch the biggun within an hour of casitng out on your first session.
Scenario 2:
Spend a few weeks learning the lake. Getting up early and watching the water, figuring out where they like to be, walking the lake a couple of times a week, perhaps getting some bait going on a couple of likely looking spots. Racking up a few blanks as you go, but slowly start to unpick the puzzle and improve your catch rate, catching the odd biggun along the way.
I know which I would choose
