As title, is it ?... Temperatures for up North are reaching 31oC by Sunday....I'm.not out now until my week off work (8th August)....hopefully cooled down by then.... But is it worth fishing full days in this heat, surely 1st thing in morning, late evening would be prime moments now ?

Oo ah....not half... Weekend session for me was got there about dinner(ish)...setup but fished the margins to start, and was in a corner peg...had a small en, but died then until 7pm...didn't even see a fish on the surface, it was weird....got the deeper out and they were all about 2ft off bottom in 6fy water. when I moved pegs, about 4 down to my left, 1 down from mate I was with, then it was like a dolphin show.... Don't do fishing really in red got heat, was home for 11 day after...

Good in the winter though lol

Can’t say I have Milady 😊

It's all about building up the fishes confidence. The longer they feed freely and without anything untoward happening, the more confident they become and the more the larger fish will bully their way to the front of the feeding queue. I've witnessed it happening in clear rivers and it does take several hours of baiting and waiting until you can achieve that. I used to bait about 6 spots and visit and watch them over a few hours and then normally a large smelly bait placed in the swim on dark could result in an instant bite and with a high average size. Baiting in the margins will allow you to lower a bait dropper and your bait into the swim with minimal disturbance and less bait will be washed out of the swim by the current.
