Try tigers, the carp love em' bream hate em' crays wont munch em' Also, grab some cat or dog food, punch a few holes in the tin, tie it to a rope, hand it over the bank 10-20yrds down the towpath and let it attract the crays. Do not use trout or halibut pellets..............crays adore them..... Catch a bunch of the clawed beasts........eat em!!! nom nom nom nom!

androoooo Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I fish a water with them in and the general advice I can give is. Fish stiff hook links - they'll leave braid tangled with their activity. Corkballs soaked in neat flavours as pop ups. Artificial baits Tigers Anything hard that they can't whittle down works. If you want to fish a soft bait tip with an artificial corn and add a shot to your hook link, so if they remove the soft bait the pop up corn doesnt start fishing 8 inch up in the water or however long your hook link is. Don't use lead putty they love it. I'm happy to fish over pellet and particle with the above. Yes it brings them in but their activity I think can bring the fish in. If you hook one and it's a signal cray which I'm guessing they are. Take the tail off and fish with it, can be very effective.
