Hi Maicol Totally agree with the above . I use liquid foods (liver,krill,bloodworm,spleen) avoiding flavours and mixes i make my own from grounded seeds , vegetables etc here in my country (Greece) the latest years and i am satisfied.

After a hot day ( 93°F) results : manage to get in the net 3 fish all early in the morning. Sadly 2 carps after a ferocious run got tangled in the underwater trees. Very difficult water but plenty of fish splashing with scaring sounds in the middle of the lake leaving large circles. Bait: snowman fishmeal(lt94/herring meal/Robin red/salts/Black pepper) with corn on one rod and greek red saffron corn boilies on the second rod . Prebaited the area with 1 kilo of boilies and 2 kilos of particles. The weather will get worse the following days making the lake road inaccessible. Hope next spring to arrive at this water with more bright ideas.

First attempt to this water with limited time cause the owner gave permission until dark .

Bread glugged with corn steep liquor revealed magical moments with carps feeding on the surface. Awairing permission from the owner to put rods in this hell.

Lake Aoos near Ioannina (carp, sturgeon,trout) Lake pamvotis at Ioannina (grass carp,common carp) Lake Plastiras near Karditsa (carp,catfish,big barbel) Lake Yliki near Athens (carp) Lake Kastoria at Kastoria city (carp) Lake aliakmonas at Kozani city (carp,big catfish) Lake Ladonas near Tripoli city (carp) Lake Pinios near Hleia (carp) and so on.... There are a lot of big lakes in Greece holding good amounts of fish , especcially carps.

I will go prebaiting on sweet corn for the beggining near the margins and braid as well but i am almost sure that the big guys are scrolling near the trees. And If by luck one get hooked will reach those trees in seconds. I estimate (from what i saw and the age of the lake) that the biggest fish are around 50-60 lbs. Anyway because here is raining 2 days now and the dirt road to the lake consists of clay it will draw back my plans for a while. I'll keep you informed about my results. regards Manos

Hi i am from Greece and recently i visited a small lake in a private property with only carps. The lake was build at 1994 and after 2 years 30.000 small carps were introduced in the 16 meters deep waters. The owner uses the water for his farm and no one has ever fished there. This was obvious as i saw carps of different sizes passing very near the margins.Also the owner told me that he sees occasionally fish splashing on the surface at enormous sizes, I didnt even think to fish as the underwater trees pevented the whole idea. Scattered a few baits on the surface but there was no acticity. With my portable fish sonar i discovered 2 clear spots with a perimeter about 20 meters. Any thoughts about how to fish this lake will be very very usefull.
