Tree123 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Got a ticket for a days only very silty canal. It doesn't see a lot of angling pressure so I was planning on prebaiting with mainly maize but throwing in a few tigers and boilies (so I can use them as hookbaits) and the fishing simple stiff d or multi rig on helicopters I've never really done a days only venue any advice?

Does it have much flow and boat traffic? What sort of depth and profile is it? By that I mean does it have a ledge both sides, any overhanging trees? Are there any locks? Any permanently moored boats? Boat traffic can move your bait around, especially in shallower water. It may pay to add some Vitalin in your baiting. Permanently moored boats can be worth fishing as they give cover, as do trees. The carp in canals and rivers can be almost constantly on the move.

greekskii Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Most importantly, are there any carp in it? Find them and fish for them where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max about 4ft-5ft seem to be straight drop off the edge (well the spots I've checked anyway) no boats very little if any flow. there is a few over hanging trees 1 hour ago, greekskii said: Most importantly, are there any carp in it? Find them and fish for them where they are. Yes I've seen them and heard them when I've been walking my dog there. Will be spending a few morning down looking before I put any bait in Edited February 20, 2019 by Tree123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
