dougmoon Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 hi chaps my buddy and i are doing 48hrs at sandhurst sun/mon and i need some advice. (as i haven't got 20 of you there to help this time ) with the weather warming up as it has im not sure how much bait i need to be using. (i dont normally get to fish this time of year). i cant decide between my usual large spread of boilies, or to bait and fish on a baited "spot" saying that im not sure how much bait you can get away with this time of year any thoughts welcome how would you fish it ? doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmcee Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 personally i would fish for a bite this time of year,if you get action then think about putting a bit of bait in.if you fail to find the fish on your arrival,then i would head for the pipe swim,second pipes or the car park swims they have a good track record at this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iambunn Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Although I had a few beeps on the maggot rod, my two Carp actualy came to a simple hi-viz, as did another rather large resident of sandhurst to Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Although I had a few beeps on the maggot rod, my two Carp actualy came to a simple hi-viz, as did another rather large resident of sandhurst to Nige Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke, as it goes. Really looking forward to the upcoming social. I do hope it stays dry. I'd got the start of webbed feet when I got home from the last one. Oh, and if Jez offers to lead the way with his Satnav, don't do it! I started off from home following him yet got there 10 minutes before him. I'd got a low-tech map.

welder Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'd got a low-tech map. Yeah, you followed me Hey, when I asked you which way you'd travelled to get to my house you had no idea. "I followed the Satnav". And you used satnav to get to Merrington. For your fourth visit It's 15 miles from your home. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is, i wouldn't attempt a 5th visit without the Tomtom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
