Tactics & Tips

Feeder Fishing - Ideal for targeting bream, carp, and tench at distance. Use a cage or method feeder packed with groundbait and maggots or corn. Cast near features or open water and wait for positive bites. Float Fishing - Perfect for margin and mid-water fishing. Try a waggler or pole float with maggots, casters, or sweetcorn. Keep loose feeding little and often to draw fish into your swim. Pole Fishing - Excellent for precision and speed, especially when targeting silverfish or carp close in. Use soft pellets, worms, or expanders on the hook and adjust your depth to find feeding fish.
