Thanks for the comments so far.
As brian suggested i often try to fish several lines on the theory that i can rotate and pick a few fish off here and there. However, the successful anglers generally feed a 11-13m line and fish it all day, just trying down the edge occasionally but rarely catching anything there. I find it hard to stick to one line but this seems to be the way people are getting results, like when the fish do arrive you have to be there and have them concentrated in one area so you dont miss them.
The sliver fish are not worth targeting. Not enough of a good stamp.
I have considered fishing the feeder all day- I usually give it a couple of chucks and pick up an occasional fish, or sometimes none at all. Maybe if i stuck to it and concentrated fish further out than the others (everyone fishes the pole) then this would work in the long run. Oh its about 45 meters across the lake id say, pegged both sides. The feeder will sometimes produce like a run of 2 or 3 fish, but take about 10 minutes per bite, and then completley die. So its hardly reliable.
When i talk about fishing the inside, the fish do not build up there if you keep feeding it all day. I usually feed a top 4 either side of my platform and slightly infront where you catch loads pleasure fishing, and its literally like a canal in that you can nick a couple of early fish if they happen to be sitting there, but if you feed it all day you wont get a touch over it. Same for my slightly longer margin line often to a spare platform- fed for 2 hours or more before trying, then fed religiously all day, and not a touch.
