PHASE 1..Method feeder with dampened dynamite green pellets around the feeder with hair rigged 8mm pellet is dominating at the moment.
PHASE 2 + 3..Take one or two loaves of bread if you like fishing bread on the surface..dab a piece of bread on the surface on a length of line from your pole tip over to the islands/reeds,keep feeding a few free offerings to keep the fish interested.
If you dont want to do that then conventional float rigs feeding riddled luncheon meat with either meat or cat meat on the hook will catch.
Be warned though,if the fish are on/near the surface on phases 2 + 3 you might struggle to catch anything on the deck.
