bigsexydoug Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Pedigree chum mixers, do em the night before, these always come out perfect for and easy to do, fill the kettle and set it boiling, now put as many as you want in a sieve, pour the entire kettle full over the biccies as even as possible, now turn on the cold tap and rinse them again all over so they cool down, now place in a sandwich/food bag in the fridge overnight, they should be perfect the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullEnglish Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 If you see any Carp on top try feeding a few at a time see if the Carp are having it, dont ignore floating crust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its warm and sunny chances are they'll be on top, if not try fishing at different depths till you start catching. Locate em first then try to get em feeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheff 13 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Just ping a few mixers into swims to see if they want them, if you get a reaction to start fishing for them straight away is a mistake, let the fish get confident then they take surface hook baits more readily.

spankysufc Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 The majority of the canal surface fishing is casting to visual fish, a mobile approach works a lot better than a static approach, be prepared to put the miles in. I used to start at bernard rd at the back of the bin place and work my way all way up to the plumpers stretch and sometimes back again, it can be really rewarding fishing if the conditions are right. I would just take a loaf of bread and a few dog biscuits!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
