Because these fish must be feeding mostly by smell would corn have enough scent to attract them in? I'd been debating putting some hemp or pellets in there because of the oil contents.

I did debate using worms down there but was concerned about the visibility.

There were what I'd consider alot of carp in there for its size maybe they are stirring it up. All the ones I saw were at least low doubles so they would cause a fair bit of sediments to be mixed up when feeding on the bottom.

Hi all,

Im looking for some advice fishing a relatively small farm pond that I believe has never been fished.

Whilst it was hot a couple of weeks ago I saw at least 10 carp cruising the surface so spoke to the farmer and got permission to fish there.

The water visibility is pretty poor due to the clay bottom so you can see at most a foot deep.

I've thrown some bread onto the surface and sweetcorn into a couple of margin spots over the last week or so but never seen any activity there afterwards.

Because these fish have probably never seen a bait I wanted to know what the best strategy would be to get them feeding.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
