    @Higham1987 I have a few pots of they're baits, mainly waters

    buchuberry wafter(no luck), bloodworm wafter, krill active wafter, krill pop-up, manilla pop-ups, wafter and spray, signatures pop-ups. 

    I used outlaw pro the most. Either natural (buttery smell) or squid & octopus.

    If I can I like to find out what the local tackle shops are selling and then buy something totally different so I'm not on the same baits as everyone else on the lake.

    Is that your secret ingredients in the blue drum lol

    Tricky Baits No.1 for me.

    Blue Drum are Aller Aqua 8m for feeding

    Also Had some Munch Baits Bio Marine for another lake campaign, but that didn't take off either (Sopd all My Gear since)

    How long was you on the manilla fella.

    I'd love to catch a sturgeon.

    About 4/5yrs, and i would start straight back with it.

    The Sturgeon was on a White Manlla wafter about 1 rod length from bank in margin.

    I've done okay on the manilla active. It helped me break my pb twice in a week on a difficult water but never had much luck with the pop-ups or wafters

    The only bait i use/did use, got my carp pb from park lake and biggest fish (sturgeon) in another lake.

    How do you prefer to fish. 

    Do you put all 3 rigs on the same spot with the same baits.

    I have never fished like this. I always put my rods(2 or 3 depending on rules) in different places with one rod fishing a different bait and method.

    For example 2 on boilies n 1 on a pop-up or wafter but all different parts of the swim or lake if I have it to myself 

    I only have/had a 2 rod setup, so was always 1 in either margin and 1 to open water or a feature...both using the same baits though, Sticky Manilla.

    Try running around Linear fisheries in padded salopettes, jacket wellies and carrying two buckets to hopefully find two decent swims 😏…but joking aside fair play to you for keeping fit 👍

    Felt like it abit, the amount of sweat pumping 🤣🤣....also done some conditioning training...Jog 20m, Sprint 20m repeat each segment until failure 😩😩😩

    I think you mean when 😏

    Time is the main thing now, 100%.....6 days a week i have someting fully taking up the days, only Saturdays were we chill as a family(if we can), 2 mates who i usually went with - 1 has been given some lung n liver bad news, 1 has had 2 heart attacks and told to retire from mwork and rest, main exercise is to walk nothing more, my Uncle seems to be going more n more with his mate now......but....IF...i was to regain all my Gear, it would probably be have to see what the outcome of my work claim will be and possibly spend about 2K on a decent 2nd hand setup.
