Afternoon All.
Went to one of my local lakes yesterday, and as per usual, I fished luncheon meat.
As I was there all day, I thought about feeding a few swims up with corn and pellets.
For information - Pellets and groundbait can only be used when bought from the club house.
So, after feeding all day (a few pieces of corn and about 10 pellets (mini)) on each cast, I still stuggled to attract the fish into the areas I was fishing (margins, lillies and overhanging tree).
At the end of the day, I started getting rid of the luncheon meat I wasnt going to keep, and throwing 4-5 cubes in (ran out of corn, and kept the pellets) with the first few casts.
After about 5-10 minutes, I was getting a bite with every cast, waiting no longer than 1-2 minutes before I got a bite. The fish just seemed glued to the spot (a different sport compared to those where I had fed up all day - although I did fish the spot before I started throwing in meat).
So the question is, should I be feeding meat if fishing meat?
Would corn distract from the meat on mhy hook?
Is there anything else I could thrown in to draw in the fish?
Main species is carp (although there are skimmers, ide, tench and the odd barbel).
Thanks for your help.
