Hi All,

Is there actually much point going to lengths of crumbing up boilie especially as there are lots of roach / rudd and bream in the lake?

I see guys doing it but the lakes has loads of smaller fish so I just imagine half of it has gone before it even hits the bottom!

Also would a dedicated groundbait to match the boilie not be a better option anyway?

So over the past 3 or 4 years I've basically put the rods away about now and not fished again until March. I've missed out on so much fishing this year due to work (I'm lucky to have kept my job and been busy) in these unprecedented times.

So this this I need to make the effort to get out...

Any tips for fishing at this time of year and into winter when the long nights start. I'm probably not going going to be able to do many work overnighters due to having to pack up so early but intend to try over the next month or so after that I will switch to days only I think. My syndicate lake is rock hard in winter only didn't do a fish for over three months last season so it won't be for the faint hearted I don't think.

Any tips to keep prepared and comfortable etc?

Do you still put a lot of bait in this time of year? I know when I was younger it seemed to be a big feeding time but doesn't always seem like that these days

Thanks all

One guy did three days and three nights and blanked... he reckons he put in 30KG+

Some of the others had 3 between them over 4 days I think. So I'd hardly say the fish were 'having it'

It's probably because I've never been a big baiter I guess I was surprised.

It seems like on our syndicate the amount of bait going in at the moment is pretty mind blowing... and the lake is fishing slow.

For example, last week I went down to speak to a few people and they freely told me they had put in between 10 and 15 kilos boilies each over three days. This was just three guys and baring in mind there are probably only 50 to 60 carp present that seemed mad...

The lake has been busy so on average there has between 5 and 7 on most days even during the week so I dread to think how much bait is going in. To me they seem preoccupied on naturals at the moment and gone are they days when fishing over 5 kilos on there produced a few fish...

Is anyone else facing this situation?

Does anyone know what happened to this firm? Can't see the website for bait anymore!

Morning,

Has anyone used these baits? I was looking at his Krill bait in particular

Thanks
