Perhaps could be a bit rough weather wise Tuesday especially for pole fishing, a more settled day may be better.

Well....the weather was rough...very wet and extremely windy. ...managed a couple of hours and had a couple of perch near the 1lb mark and lovely roach of 8oz and 3 carp to 5lb...all on maggot...did have some paste and hookable pellets but neither would stay on the hook long..any ideas on how to keep them on?
