TIPS:
GROUND BAIT: Take your chosen groundbait, (there are many to choose from,  just check the shelves in your local tackle shop), add it to a round bowl, use a round bowl as it has no corners and easier to mix. Slowly add water from the lake or waters you intend to fish. Make the mix a stiff mix not wet, add as part of the mix any flavouring of your choosing, dry or liquid.  The bait after mixing should be just damp enough to hold together when squeezed together but, break apart when slightly rubbed. Add casters and or 2-3mm mini pellets. You can of course add Maggot or chopped worm if you prefer, but this could stop the bait binding.
That's the bait prepared!  Now pack the mix tightly into your your chosen feeder or lob balls of bait out to float fish over or you can combine the two methods. Give it a Go!

What ever you decide to do over the next week Stay Safe and Stay Well. 🎣🐟🎏
