sheff 13 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I haven't been for years either Gaz but I always used to fish the neck end road side at the end of what we called the plantation. At this time of year I allways used to fish a small maggot feeder but that was before ground bait was allowed, I now would fish a small cage feeder with worm & a pinch of caster held in with a bit of fish meal ground bait, Fish as light a hook length as I could with a 18s hook with a small piece of worm as a starter, then see how it goes from there. Try to keep your casting tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to keep your casting tight. i would echo sheff 13's advice but i would also take a few maggots as a stand by hookbait if you're struggling. the pike fishing has been hard this season, i've had one fish in four visits. a friend has put 72 hours in without a fish as yet!
