I'll pop over later and try and find out how the knock out match went last night and how it's fishing.
If I get nothing, I'd consider worm over caster on the pole, as light as the conditions will let you get away with, absolute minimal feed, done often.
Worth baiting the margins for later, particularly if you have a vacant peg next to you.
The 'method' to the island, hard pellet into softened micro-pellet on the frame, clipped up tight, and don't do it to feed. The splashes will drive them out. Chuck it and be patient.
Don't forget your brolly
July, huh?
Griddle turned on by 0730 hrs.
Good Luck, everyone. I hope you have a great day.
Those of you fishing Harris could do worse than fish the near margin quietly with a soft hooklink ( flat braid?) to some small shot or a swivel under a pole float! A sort of supple and super light bolt rig, just enough to set the hook after you've tempted them with your light end gear.
Or not. These ARE crucians
