Whatever you find out about the venue make sure you find out whether it responds to big beds of bait in winter . On a new unfamiliar venue i would be very wary of planning a baiting strategy such as you have aired in your post , especially this time of year when a lot of known cold water venues respond well to single hookbaits or similar . Hope you get the info you require and best of luck Quote
welder Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 bc69, I agree with everything that Tim (Newmarket) posted above. It may be one of those fairly rare waters which responds well to beds of bait in winter but don't be disappointed if it's not I know it's a corny old cliché ..... you can always add bait but you can't take it out.

boliecrazy69 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 fully agree with what you said. the approach from looking online is now a maggot clip rig with a small pva off maggots and sweet corn. and the other rod on a kd rig with the korda i.b fake corn on it with a small pva of sweetcorn and maggots very light baiting if any at all but will see when I go.. cant wait as this is my first session in a good couple of years Quote
ianain Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Bear in mind, the pva will take some time to disolve this time of year (winter) around 20 - 30 minutes. Also remember that sweetcorn can melt the pva, not a problem at the moment I know; but will soon be spring, the sun will shine longer, the birds will tweet, cm might stop being grumpy and your pva might melt within a few seconds.

ianain Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Can't find The PVA Company on ebay, found their web site which is still under construction. Found some of the stone carp bags on the bay, but nothing else? Quote
newmarket Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Can't find The PVA Company on ebay, found their web site which is still under construction. Found some of the stone carp bags on the bay, but nothing else? They have a different username on the bay mate . Im a bit pushed for time at the mo but there is a very recent thread about 'em . Try a pva search with my username and see what pops up Quote

Try a pva search with my username and see what pops up I did try to find that but couldn't, probably because I was using "The PVA Company" :doh!: Quote

albionchez Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Be interested to hear how the session went. I'm not too far from the lake either and have looked around it and it does look lovely. Quote
