What is the best bait to use over silt, a pop-up or a bottom bait, and what is a good particle mix to fish in conjunction with your hookbait? What is the most effective method for fishing the hookbait and particle mix?
Question 2
I am currently fishing a 22-acre pit which, due to a nearby river, is constantly changing in depth as a result of flooding. This results in some swims being unfishable. Will the carp investigate these ‘new’ areas which were previously grassy areas of bank or bushes above the water line prior to flooding, and are these fish catchable in these areas?
Question 3
When tying a Hair, what factors determine the length of the Hair? I am concerned that I could be getting it all wrong and it could be costing me fish.
Question 4
I have been fishing exactly the same margin spot, but from two different swims either side of it. In one swim I get lots of aborted takes, but in the other I get near enough unmissable runs. What do you think the reason could be, and is there a solution, because I cannot always get in the best swim?
