Frank, I haven't fished it for a couple of years but, from memory there are some very big fish in there.(big doubles) Corn in the margin was a popular tactic, and also catmeat was very successful (not sure if its still allowed). The best end was always the shallow end nearest the big island, and I once won a match there fishing up in the water with meat off permanent peg 48. The early pegs are also good fishing close in. Peg 19 also used to do well in our matches, with a big reed bed to the left but everyone used to catch against the plain bank to the right, no features but the fish used to come in really close.
We stopped going there because we had a couple of hard matches. I would start slowly and not put too much bait in to begin with. Also some of the guys did ok on worm.
Hope that helps,
Royst

There's a pickie of the rule board in this months Midlands Angler -
Barbless max size 10 (and they were checked during our match on Charlies a week ago)
No floating baits
Baits allowed are :-
Prawns
Luncheon meat
Maggots
Corn
Casters
Bread
Worms
Cat meat
It also says if its not on the list it's not allowed - but no mention of their feed and hookers that you buy from the cafe bar
There's also a pinned on note saying 'No liquidised baits, cat meat and luncheon Meat cut in cubes only'

If you draw the tree - cube up a few tins of meat mix with corn and stick in a feeder. That is also worth a try if there is bugger all happening on your pole line. I would start on feeder or straight lead for 1st hour or two whilst building the pole line up as if i remember rightly they do not tend to come on too quickly
