pet, was there any carp on the top ? when there is a strong current on the water if i was you i would go to the shallower end if you know what i meen and fish on the float on fake corn and 2 pinkies.
The reason i say this is because i saw it on a matt hayes dvd lol
it worked forhim it may for you he landed a 7lb tench, a small carp about 5lb, a 11lb 4oz, and a 19lb grassie and also a 25lb grassie thats quite unbelievable lol if he can do it i dont see why we cant lol.
im heading down there this weekend hopefully but ive got a feeling i might just take a stalking rod and a mixer. whens the next time anyone else is up there will be good to get some info on how its fishing when i get up there corn and maggits forme then and mixer tight lines
ive never written this much before lol
