Well said mate. This year i will be using 6 different baits. 1, Corn 2 Maggotts 3 Hemp 4 Luncheon Meat 5 Bread 6 Chum Mixers. The Hemp is only to attract dome fish so 5 hookbaits only. I have sold my bivvy and my buzzers and am gonna fish short half day sessions and start having fun again. Bit of pole fishing bit of surface fishing and some margin fishing for the big carp. No leads no leadcore no chods no blowback anti eject boll##ks. Plain old fishing from now on. Unless of course i start blanking then i might get all technical again lol!
