Went to LEWDEN SPRINGS in barnsley monday fished peg 31 pleasuring.used pellet on deck ,up in water,also corn on deck up in water, and maggot nothing was biting..i heard this place was a winner but found it was very hard work even in margins and at distance..is there a specific technique to get the fish biting and where to fish ?.or is it that it would have been matched up all weekend and fish are overfed.anyone know ?

our match was won on the right hand bank in the middle of the first island mate honestly u need a kilo of worm and 3-5 pints of caster if its mild though i would look at maggot shalla and on the drop the place is black like i said it was the first time i bbeen drew very poor and managed 4th in the 20 pegger so not a bad result

ok pal,thanks will try worm and castor when i go or maggot if mild...thanks

Maggot shallow or on deck but feed well you may need upto 5 pints, catching well on meat last year as the small carp were up for it, tench in margins also, hope that helps.

ok thanks..do yoo know if to fish on deck with worm and castor or up in water.

I fished on deck with worm and caster, if you can get the ide going shallow you will be fine, i simply set my pole rest up and had the float just hanging not actually quite sat on the water keep flicking a few maggots at the end of your pole and the ide hooked themselves, good luck.
