How to bait up effectively?

[S34MH1]

I use a bait boat to locate my swim and save the position as Spot A. I set up my rod pod with the three-point alignment method: rod pod, bait boat and a marker on the opposite bank. I put the largest quantity of bait at Spot A, and place one rod on each side of the rod pod with only a small amount of supplementary bait. What is the reasonable range for this whole setup? Are there any improvements I can make to my current baiting method?

 

My bait boat has significant GPS error, and waves also stop it from staying in a fixed position. Should I use line stops to precisely control the line length from my reel? I’ve noticed some anglers use rangefinders and laser pointers to get accurate distance and angle for the bait boat. Is it necessary for me to buy these tools?

Hello mate,

From a previous post of yours :

I'm from Asia, and our holy grail is landing giant common carp, grass carp, and black carp

Not sure why you keep posting on here with so many questions? sorry mods.

Maybe you can share some of your actual fishing experiences so far that you need so much advice? 😂👍

Is that not what a forum is for?

Of course it is it, obviously, but..... what next? What hook size, what bait? 

Think it might be more interesting if this guy actually explained the waters he is actually fishing tho tbh!

Sadly no info on any of that, just more questions that seem to be a bit boring, doesn't give any details of anywhere that is being fished, that's my problem.

If he is really in Asia, could probably share some good information on fishing there.....

I suspect not though ☹️

Hopefully proved wrong 🤞

The guy has given us a paragraph explaining what he's doing and is asking for advice to improve. Give him a break. It's no wonder this place is dead when newbies get jumped on for no reason whatsoever. If you can help him, do so. If you can't, just move on.

Just as well he didn't post on 'another' forum, suspect his treatment would have been very much harsher than my probing msg for information 😂

If you think this place is 'Dead' why are you still here btw?

As for 'Newbie'

Dosn't sound like someone who is actually new to carp fishing to me if it's true?! 😂

Sorry, English isn’t my first language, so I try my best to learn your fishing tactics by asking questions, since I can’t express myself freely in English.
 
I often fish at unfamiliar venues hundreds of kilometres away from home, which is why I had to buy a bait boat fitted with sonar. Even so, I frequently draw a blank. Take today’s spot for example: the average depth here is 4 metres, with the deepest points hitting 6–7 metres, while the bank-side water is only 2 metres deep. I chose the transition zone between the 2-metre shallow shelf and the 4-metre channel drop-off.

Sounds like you @OldBoyare the one who would be more at home on the other forum

As yonny said, if you've not got anything constructive to say, then its probably best you dont in future???

Thanks in advance
