Lumeymorris Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi guys that time of year again and the french trip is in a few days time and after all your help last year thought I’ll ask again! As this time around it’s going to be different as the lake is going to be full this time around and no sharing a double swim so was wondering how you guys would approach a french venue that is fully booked(I say fully booked but there will be two swims left) I mean it’s the same lake so I’ll stick with the same bait and rigs but wasn’t sure if there were somethings I could do different to keep to bites coming as it’s going to be a bit like man vs angler more than man vs fish if you get my drift and after how well I did last year most people are going with the same bait as me which is a bit of a worry! dont get me wrong I could be worrying about nothing but is how my brain works I question everything I do so apologies if I sound like a broken record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just fish for a bite at a time that’s all I used to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtaylor Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 More often than not more anglers means less areas for them to hide away from the lines and you all have a chance of catching as they move about the lake with no sanctuary. Maybe having two baited areas could mean that the fish bounce to your other spot after catching off the other and via versa - instead of them moving into someone else's water after your first bite of the day. Fish almost always retreat from angling pressure so you could be better off this way - good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Personally I wouldn't be in a rush to set up , once you've all sorted out who's fishing where , let everybody else crash about finding spots & start fishing . Hang back leave you water line free & you might just find a few fish start turning up . It's worked for me in the past . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumeymorris Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Chilli the only problem with doing what you said is a lot of the others I'm going with do this already they get themselves set up and sit back with a few beers and no rods in the water but can't remember if they got the marker rod out and found their spot before sitting back. But say they do this again and get all set up without finding spots or any rods out would you still sit back? as I get what your getting at by letting them make the disturbance and push all the fish out of their swims into yours as there is no angling pressure but would it still work the same if everyone else is doing the same? As last time I used my deeper pro and found a few spots and put a rod on them without leading around and caught on the first night while everyone else was sitting back. But properly more down to luck as I didn't get anything else off them spots apart from that one fish so I found others and did much better catching off the two new spots. You see I would just go and attack it like I did last time but I was sharing a double swim so I used 2 rods as suggested by a member on here (i think it was yonny!)and managed to do really well. But I was getting a bite here and there when I felt I could of caught more not in a over confident way but from what I saw across the lake as everyone else was fishing 3rods on 1 or 2 spots, when the fish moved in they were getting more consistent runs where mine were more spaced apart which is why I'm thinking if I was using 3 rods I could of had 2rods on one spot without having to rest my other spot as the bite times moving the third rod from spot to spot because one spot was quite unpredictable times but more in the day, where the other would go off at the same time every morning/afternoon. But yeah I think I've worked out what I'm going to do now after reading your replies its got the brain going and help me come up with a plan so thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
