poleaxe21 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 The islands are the most obvious feature (kinda hard to miss in fact ) but don't ignore them just because you might feel that they are pressured areas. Plenty of carp do still get caught from there. Leave the Marker Rod at home. You won't need it and Chad is so small and intimate that using one will ruin your chances. Feel the lead down on the cast, and aim your casts at showing fish, signs of activity, or visible features. Any bait works really, but don't discount maggots. Theres very little in the way of nuisance species in Chad (all were meant to be removed but obviously there is the odd one...) The best advice i could give you would be to remain as stealthy as possible, and keep end tackle as unobtrusive as possible. It's "bits" fishing to be honest. Tiny PVA bags, single hookbaits, hand feeding, small hooks, small leads that sort of thing. Hope that is of some help to you. Chris Quote
