Obsessed

Margins do well on day sessions there, out in the middle on overnighters. I’m right down the road in Eaton Ford, so it’s very close. I’m fishing at Gingerbread a lot now since I got the syndicate/night ticket there.

I haven't fished there since I got my syndicate ticket last June. That said, I was getting one to two bites per 24 hour session, and occasionally some people would get decent hits 5-6. Don't know how it's been lately though.

I'm not sure about all bait companies, but the spray from the company I use is exactly the same liquid they use to flavor their pop-ups and wafters. I just spray the whole tub of baits once or twice at the beginning of each session, then if I re-use a bait I spray it and let it soak for a minute or two and re-cast. It's especially useful in stinky silt

It gets moderately weedy, but not overgrown. There are clear spots in most swims, like the fish, you just gotta find 'em. I always keep at least one rod in the margin and look for a clear spot for the other rod. The pair of swans there will be on your bait in the margins, so be subtle.

I fish Wyboston quite often, there's a good amount of options there and it's close to my house. I'm some sort of cursed on North House though, can't seem to get on them. But I know a good deal about the lake. Terry the bailiff is an outstanding guy and a big character, he is there several times a day and will give you good starting tips. Margins are key there, lots of snags and a good amount of weed.

I had those rods at one time, used them once and bought new rods immediately. For a newer angler, 50 yards sounds about right for keeping it accurate. You definitely can cast them further, but the rod is not stable enough to keep it very accurate.
