Matt6900 is the bloke what he doesn't now about this place ain't worth knowing

matt6900

on the pole fish 4mm hookers, feed 3mm carp pellets, fish 0.11mm line 18hooks, floats anywhere from 4x12-4x16 depending on wind conditions, depth anywhere from 7-13ft, pegs in the late 20's and 30's are the deeper pegs, you dont want be fishing 11m min, fish as long as you can comfortably, if its tightly pegged the longer the better, as for the amount to feed kinder cup from the start about a dozen pellets then feed after every fish, elastics white hydo or similar, thats bout it for the pole

fish a maggot feeder towards the island, 0.13mm hooklength 18hooks are fine fish double red maggot,(also dead reds). some pegs you need to chuck closer to the island than others, if you draw around pegs 8-13 you dont have the island to throw to so just a gentle chuck around 30metres should be fine!

Cheers for that,how do you shot your rigs? also do u fish over depth ?

just a simple bulk about 12inch from hook, i always fish just touching bottom and dot the float right down and lift at every movement, also keep lifting and droping you rig regularly

What lake was that on?

It was on island pool, and the bites were very hard to hit at first ,so i dotted it so only 10mm was showing and fished a short line from pole to float about a foot.
