Any method really but in situations where you can see them, work out their routes and hatch a plan. For me the excitement is off the scale, I give it my all, creeping about, up trees - one rod stalking off the top or in the edge setting little traps - you can't beat it. On the right water I'd rather do several day sessions, mobile roving than camp in one place. Stalking would be my favourite no doubt

I used something like that, actually a mix of a Multi-rig, Hinge and a 360 with Gardner Stiff Link. The boom section was Kryston Snakeskin, but instead of the hinge or multi section being tied to the mini swivel, it went through the ring doubled over with a counterweight held in place under the swivel with the link being knotted and lighter tagged. It produced a couple of uncaught fish from spots by the edge of the weed with bright pink pop-ups early season. I'll try to find a pic, but John Claridge was using something similar.

That sounds a little more than a multi rig Kev, got me Intrigued, I've tied some chods like that before and I did like the way they sat, I might have a play with that when I get some spare time, what sort of knot are you using to connect the coated braid to the mouth trap?

Thanks Kev , Nick , and Elmo . That's lots of very useful information for me to think about , much more than I was hoping for . Many thanks . 😃

Got a few 👍 Catching my 1st ever park lake Carp & PB from my local HARD park lake, Sept 2020 Catching 1 of only 10 stocked Fish in a local lake, Feb 2022 1st ever overnighter with my Son & Pooch, my lad playing/Catching his 1st ever Carp June 2020 A 48hr and only having 1 bite and Catching the biggest fish in the lake, Sturgeon 31lb, July 2021 There have been 1 or 2 evening sessions were I've caught 20+ fish in about 4hrs but nothing massive.

Think you were unlucky with your bed. As has been said the solar range are top notch in my opinion. I've had several beds from different manufacturers (fox, Nash sleep system plus others) but my solar bed is head and shoulders above anything I've had before in my opinion. I sleep better on that than I do my bed at home 🤣.
