Lakeview fishery Melton Mowbray

Hi all, I'm off to Lakeview tomorrow for a full day of fun! I've fished there 2 or 3 times but never in the winter, and am hoping for tench and carp. Does anyone have any tips for bait and methods for this time of year? I'll be using a quiver tip and carp rod, (I don't do poles!) Any advice would be much appreciated, even which lakes are fishing as there seem to be dozens there!

Cheers

Good luck Chappa. Always find a bit of sweetcorn goes down well at this time of year

pork pie meat? ( just a thought)

I agree with Geejayy. Maybe add a touch of pickle LOL. Seriously though, sweetcorn or luncheon meat are probably a good bet for the smaller carp. A single flouro pop-up boilie might sort out the better fish.

Cheers all!

I had about 10 fish- very small roach on maggot and caster, and common carp to about 1.5lb, on a running ledger, (hair rigged tripple corn on a size 10 hook!) They must be feeding well to take a hook that big? Anyhow I thoroughly enjoyed myself, after all the blanking and single fish days of the last few months!

Roll on Angel of the North on Monday
