  1. Any tips ,guys & gals to using a swim feeder. I used one the weekend for the first time , fishing for carp. The venue has lots of bait restrictions and end tackle rule's too, so no method feeders, but will allow open end feeders as long as no ground bait is used. I went with a hemp/corn/soaked pellets mix in the feeder. I had the feeder threaded direct onto the main line with and bead to a swivel , then 5in hook lenght. Every time I reeled in the hook lenght was wrapped around the feeder. Even tried a anti tangle tube on the end of the hook lenght but still no joy. We still caught on the day but wasn't confident on the rig at the end of the day. Any help pleeeeeeese

  2. Munkie , the brickies has some quality fish ,taking dog biscuits off the top is the way but I'm affraid like many waters the scally's from the estate over looking the lake are a problem . Even getting shot at with air rifles from the end of the lake by the car park. I imagine with the kids breaking up for summer you'd need more than camoflarge, you'd need riot helmet and flak jacket :wink:
