Doing a weekend on Sandhurst in Sept.Any tips re:bait,swims tactics etc would be greatly appreciated.

Went there on the social this year, And if i went back i would go to the same swim or as near as didn't have any but the fish were there,Just bad angling on my part i think.

 

Swims that did well the island, Pipes and carpark swim.

Rig and bait wise, Use white maggots on a maggot clip micro mesh stick filled with maggot on a 5inch, Simple size 8 hook rig?

 

Didnt like the state of the swims but i WILL be back.

 

hope that helps

Scaling down is the way to go. Size 10 hooks, 10mm boilies, maggots etc. Nothing too complicated although i am not fan of fishing maggots on maggot clips. Make a D rig out of your hooklink material, i prefer IQ soft for this, and put the maggots onto a piece of dental floss via sewing needle,try not to burst them. Tie a grinner knot and slide it down to the maggots and tie the dental floss to the ring of your rig. A bit of tubing over the eye helps it to flip. Spod maggots and 10mm boilies over the top, don't go mad though little and often seems to work there.

 

Cheers
