I fished a new venue on Sunday, a commercial as opposed to my usual natural club lakes.
I caught loads of fish, a few carp and dozens of small roach and perch, fishing red maggot and sweet corn with a bit of ground bait balled in and topped up with a toss pot.
I’ve decided to go back again this weekend, as I need to put some hours in with my new pole ( very limited pole/float experience thus far. It’s full of fish so should me a good opportunity to practice.
ideally I’d like to try to target the bigger fish in the lake, by this I mean anything other than the really small roach/perch etc
for bait I’m thinking bigger than maggot, so more sweet corn, 6/8mm hard pellet, expanders maybe, and worm.
I should hopefully have received the missing section for my new pole by the weekend, as well as the cups for the cupping kit (long story....), so should be able to feed and fish up to 13m, although I’ll probably limit myself to 11m or so to start with.
so my question is are there any other bait suggestions that you would have to try to filter out the really small fish? Also any suggestions for a ground bait mix would be gratefully received ( ground bait is banned at my club lakes so I have had very little exposure to it thus far.
thanks in advance ?
