Try cutting some aluminium foil with the scissors you want to sharpen. Repeat until sharp enough. Usually does for me.

I had a wander round last year with a mate. We did actually drive up to the house, turn around in the yard, back to the car park and then wait around to see if anyone would 'apprehend' us so we could ask if it was ok to look first, but after waiting for some 20minutes with no-one around, had a wander anyway. Our choice was to go elsewhere as we couldn't see anything that interested us. It looks a nice set of lakes, some bubbling, tree surrounded, but no showing fish on the surface at the time. I know my mate Big Dave has fished it in the past, and he never caught anything much bigger than doubles, I think his biggest was around 15.

hey guys, my current lake doesnt allow floating baits, zigs are fine but no floating pellets, that kind of thing. the lake has become more pressured over the last couple of years. 99% of people i see there are bottom bait fishing weather it be particle, pop ups, wafters ect. ive seen a few spodding but very few. in my tackle box ive got a korda controller float and im itching to give it a go. on my last trip i tried zigging for the first time, had a run from it so will be dedicating a lot more time to that. but im wondering if there is a presentation/bait i could use using a carp float that would work, but obviously without using a floating bait. ive been looking at the nash critters thinking that could work, but as for size/pattern of hook i have no idea. while this may be an obvious answer i have never attempted anything like this. and yes, maggots have obviously crossed my mind but this venue is plagued by smaller species.
