In response to ManiacJoe29's post, I dug out this catch report link:

When fishing the match lakes, as he said, I do tend to go one rod, and avoid boilies. I think pellets, groundbait, hemp and sweetcorn work better and produce a lot more fish.
Fish luncheon meat, peperami or sweetcorn on the hook, changing bait if the fish switch off.
For the Traditional, I fish more over pellets, with a more boilie and pellet approach.
The main problem on all the lakes when floater fishing is no freebies. This rule is put in place to protect the ducks and swans who can come in and get tangled up, so it's fair enough.
