No harm in that. I would have quite a few options of bait to try though so you can swap if it isn’t working.

Because of the cold over night, it’s definitely lower food value and low protein baits to use. In fact it’s still a little early to hit the high protein baits. Even though the weather has warmed up over the last week or so, it is still a little cold over night and therefore the water is a bit colder.

Hope that helps a bit. Not wanting to patronise you if I’m telling you stuff you already know.

it is a good idea to feed a number of lines if you are fishing a large open water. it is all too easy to over feed in small waters, especially if it is narrow. as already said it is still early in the year and the nights are cold. remember land warms up quicker then water and the larger the water the longer it takes to warm up. think about what you do and why you are doing it, if your logic is right you won’t go far wrong.

i made the classic mistake of putting too much in today! trouble is you cant take it back out..
had my hat nailed on by the next peg, he fed probs a handfull of micros
DOH!
if your in a tightly pegged area cut the feed right down and feel your way into the match, youll soon know if they want it or not!

There are no right or wrong number of lines to feed. Better to feed a few swims correctly than feed lots of swims and never get things right. Little but often is normally the key! That means being willing to feed your other swims regularly when many anglers either ignore or cannot be bothered to keep topping up the extra swims for later in the day.

As a basic guide. I normally feed both margins and the top 2 plus 2 swim on almost every venue i fish even if i dont expect to catch much in those swims. It only takes a few seconds to flick a few pellets or meat/corn in to those swims. Amazing how many fish i,ve caught on the 2 + 2 line over the last 3 years.

Depending on the venue. I would then look to feed 1-3 main swims. On a canal. 2 swims tight over and one just a little shorter is often my choice. On some canal type venues i also feed down the track.

In open water. 2 swims. 1 left and 1 right at simliar distanceses is often a good way to attack. I always aim to fish as comfortably as possible. So, its not often that i go past 14 meters if i can help it. 10-12 meters is often my choice of distance. Im a great believer in letting the fish back off and not chasing them out. When, they decide that its time to feed. I often then get the bennifits with confident feeding fish Then, there is the feeder/bomb/waggler line. Just a case of picking up a catty and putting a bit of feed in when i dont have the pole in my hands.

As for baits. I believe in keeping it simple. Pellets, crushd pellet for ground bait and paste, hemp and either meat or corn. A few dead red maggots for the hook on the method. In winter a few slices of bread. That covers 95% of my bait for commercials.

You can make things as simple or as difficult as you want.
