If you are the only one fishing at present you can afford to put a little bit in I would say, I heard today the 25 acre lake I fish is 10 degrees in places at the moment, so find the bit where the sun hits most and bait that, if it doesn't go cold again its not a bad time to start pre baiting a bit I don't think, I will be as soon as i form a plan π
if it isn't going far you just need to be gentle with it, think finesse lol delicate, smooth and easy like a Sunday morning ππππ
