Best Bait For Tong Norton

[carsaleschris]

Can anyone let me know who is part of the wulac what bait would be best for the carp as i'm going to fish there for the first time tommorrow.

Most baits are banned and the bailiffs are pretty strict so be careful, with the night fishing now banned catching the carp will be a very difficult job as it was mega hard before that. I would go in on maize and corn but be prepared for the Bream and a lot of time in chasing the carp.

I was part of wulac last year. I will tell you a bit about all three pools...

 

swan pit- lots of carp in here. luncheon meat, maggots, corn and halibut pellets pellets all catch carp here. To avoid roach and skimmers luncheon meat or pellets should be used. Sunflower oil is also great here, try meat or halibut pellet soaked in it..

 

Church pool- best fishing is from may- mid july (too many lillies in august). luncheon meat produces best results.

 

Tong norton mere- maggots used regular on this venue, pellets soaked in some kind of mussel or similar additive. Good results can be had if you put the time in here. Fish towards the end of the mere by the reeds and cast over to the other side. Carp seem to go there.

Thanks for some info, I joined two weeks ago and will only be fishing the mere

The mere is great. Good luck to you. A 31lb carp came out of there last year just incase you didn't know, think there might be bigger ones though....

[ward2k70]

I hope there are bigger in there but a thirty will do nicely

 

I believe three 30's came out last year.

[smithy11]

Didn't realise that, I only heard of one coming out.

 

Have you fished there yet?

 

Keep me posted on how you get on throughout the year because I may join again next year.

 

Thanks Smithy

Hi lads, I’ve recently joined WULAC and have been fishing the mere. I’m just wondering whether any of you still fish the lake? I’m just after some information really as I’ve been struggling, I had one take on my second session on there but it bumped pretty much as soon as I lifted in to it. Any tips or pointers would be great. Tight lines.
