Cheers for the help guys.
Yeah I deffo think a good look round will do the world of good.
As for bait, i'm gonna take a big selction with me, there'll be 3 of us going, so pretty well spread out around the lake. Any baits that do well should show up over a 24hr session if we're all using something different.
Then again I dont want to be getting too stuck down with constantly changing baits.
Oh well, hopefully i'll find a talkative chap/chapette on the banks when i visit and he/she will tell me everything i need to know
