Its-grim-up-north Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I did well on a silty lake in York, I just chucked multi rigs on heli set ups at showing fish, then I’d bait up with boilie chops rather than hole boilies because I imagined they’d flutter down through the water and settle on top of the silt rather than a hole boilie which I imagined would be buried further into it out of view.

Ark79 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Leadcore isn’t allowed on this venue buddy, probably every venue in scotyland…. thought about the naked chod, and will probably give this a go 👍🏻 also thinking of a simple heli rig , only thing am struggling with what hooklink to use 🤷🏼♂️ Semi stiff ? Or stiff ? Or supple ? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its-grim-up-north Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 My preferred hooklink is esp tungsten loaded in semi stiff, it’s on the supple side for a semi stiff which I prefer. I also like Gardner ultra skin in stiff if the bottom is clean enough for me to use it Ark79 and ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Another thing to try if fishing in silt is use a mesh bag attached to the hook and put a couple of floaters in it with some normal pellets, this will make your rig land slower as it won't settle til the bag melts, meaning it should sit on top of the silt, I would also use liquids to stop your baits taking on the silty odours as fast Edited August 9, 2021 by elmoputney Ark79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
