Hi Kev matey .
Not seen you for ages 🙁
carp lake is fishing well , probably need ton to win as long as it dont go too cold next couple of nights.
I was there last week for a practise on feeder fishing , fished tight to island with small 30g method feeder loaded with 50 / 50 mix of sonu method mix and soaked 2mm pellet and fished a 6mm hard pellet in a band on hair rig , caught loads mate .
pole in margins works , but water is low so they dont stay long . best to fish 4 – 6 m just off the slope in deeper water , or 11 – 14 m in the real deep water . i would fish pellet or paste on hook , but if its hard , feed and fish maggot .
any more info , feel free to pm me mate .
Keith
