hi guys thanks for all the replies, if you didnt reed the 1st post, i wanted to find some1 to go fishing with as my mate who i go with normally is losing interest yes losing interest strange i no but hey. anyway im now arranging a 48h session with a top lad/ coops-northants. one of the moderaters of the site. hopefully learn a bit from each other to, oh hes also invited me on a france trip next may which brings me to my question does everybody take kilos of boileys to france if so why or if you've not took loads of bait and kept it simple how have you got on???

I think that is a hard question to answer as it depends on the lake and the time of year, the one thing I can say is if the lake you go to does not have bait to purchase then it may be hard to find depending on where you are. If you do go just cover all bases because if there is not a problem in how much you can take ie weight/size you can always take it home again. If you got there and the fish were taking say pellet well and you only had boilies you would be gutted. Also it is always nice to try other things as they dont get used much these days ie meat in the margins etc. These old fashioned methods can produce well and if it is quite give it a go you have nothing to lose.

yh i suppose m8 im very concerned that ill spook fish constantley baiting not only that but its not my style will that work against me? my style is to use small pva sticks with 10mm boileys or plastic corn i think the main thing to do is not allow the carp to no your ther, ive had loads of big fish in the uk useing those methods. not to say baitings rong its just that ive never done it,

I think you are dead right once you put the bait in you cant take it out, I have always used a small amount of bait and that has always worked for me to , but I do like to try all sorts of baits on one rod from prawns to sausage close in and alot of the time freeline, it works for me and it will not spook the fish with freeline. Most carp anglers will say that is madness but hey it works so what can I say.

its just strange. every 1 i no that goes france takes loads of boileys the lad im goin with used loads of bait last yr and took loads of fish out fair play. but i dont do that day to day when i go so will that work against me if it doesnt affect the fish the way i think it will it will defo affect me if im not catchin for a day or two

Take a sack of vitalin and a couple of tubs of prepared hemp, then you could spod out a bed of particles and fish your hook bait on it, just an idea
