Thanks Bill.
Depth is around 4-5ft and flow is not strong.
I was in the tackle shop today and can't buy Brasem locally so I got the Bream groundbait which contains Brasem.
This combined with the brown crumb would be the basis. The other GB is PV1 but I didn't know whether using it would be an advantage.
Would there be any benefit in adding fish meal to the mix?
What about adding sweetcorn to the Gb as I was thinking of using it on the hook. A bait that has worked for me in the past is two grains of sweetcorn on a hair with a bunch of maggots on the hook.
Another particle which has been recommended is stewed wheat, which I have.
Is it a good idea to put in a selection of particles or to be more selective?
Lastly, I did hope to get some Dendros but the shop only had one tub of lobworms.
As I said, it is not a common style of fishing here.

Going to honest here, if its not the first time she has done it it will probably not be the last, if you love someone and that same person loves you then the thought of cheating should not enter their head.

If it was me, and I say me she would have been gone now and so would the bloke who she had cheated with, I would definitely be serving time for it.

Top weight today 180, 2nd 158. Everyone I asked caught on expander.

I had 55lb, 15 fish, peg 39. Most taken at 2+2 with 1g float set 3 inches over, 4 mil expander over sparsely fed micros. Struggled until last hour or so when the fish seemed to turn up.

2nd was on peg 43 and caught most of his fish on pellet from the deep hole immediately to the right of the platform.

with more people taking our fish from our rivers/lakes I suspect people are being secretive in order to protect our stocks.
I've just been dropshoting on the Thames this afternoon, 4 anglers present, all of us predator fishing, two of them we very chatty and we exchanged info, the 3rd was not a native english man and either didn't want to or couldn't talk. Caught a few perch so I'm happy (easily pleased!).

we have never fished the Vecht, when we have been as always been told it needs a flow on it to catch, and never been many reports recent to when we have been over there. Did you fish the feeder on the Vecht? Whereabouts do you fish?

i think the idea behind it is to demonstrate that there is a persistent and growing problem with cormorants
If anglers don't take part in this repeat survey then who on earth is going to take our complaints seriously

Also - does anyone really think that its the angling trusts role to go round shooting cormorants ??

Poor Fishing after Stocking ?

$

Hi All,

I fished a lake I know well at a local commie today, and despite the water level being down about 3Ft and very clear, I thought given the warm weather overnight the fishing would be good. First time I have ever blanked there. Tried different baits single/two red maggots live & dead. Sweetcorn with/without maggot. hard/soft pellet, Sounubaits Bandum pineapple/krill even freshwater mussels over hemp. Varying depths/over-depth, various areas. Not a single bite/indication from a mix of roach/bream/perch or carp.

Didn't feel to bad for myself, but I had taken 14 year old son of a family friend, who was really looking forward to it and neither of us had a sniff of a bite. No other anglers on the lake to compare with.

Speaking to the owner he did say that the lake had just been stocked with 200+ skimmers. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar after stocking had taken place.

One good thing - at least it didn't rain !
