I haven't managed a fish out of the syndicate yet, although I'm learning the lake.
Last trip I noticed a lovely spot between the trees, although it is only 4ft deep. I had a good check, and although a difficult cast it is manageable, and you have to be on the money not to be in the weed.
It might be ignored by other members as the bank is high and precarious.
Bream love pellets and groundbait, and I found even using tiger nuts, if you have any groundbait in the swim, they will take them.
Just keep working and learning.
