nice reply.....thanx a lot.......got a marker float and all that.....and
i always fish the margins at night wherever i am.....shame you can't go
for a stalk though.....i'll probably be fishing particles with a
stringer of B2 boilies over the top.....do you reckon i should put a
fair bed of bait in or play safe for a bit and see what happens?

In general large beds of bait don't work at catch 22 and the advice from the
bailiff is to avoid this tactic. I have witnessed and heard of those that
ignored this advice and most seem to do badly.

....i'm
thinking they'll be a few fish up in the water with it warming up a
bit.....i saw on a website that the carp in there average 20lb but i
don't know how true it is(my record is 13lb 8oz).

Probably do now, Ime _2 years ago_ if you caught a carp it would be 15+lbs.

.but hopefully i'll get
into a few fish...i'll be there for 5 days so it'll be a bit grim if i
don't...anyway thanks again for the advice.

It won't matter how long you are there if you fish it badly ..... I spoke to
one guy who had spent about £350+ on day tickets and was still waiting for
his first carp. We had a chat to him and that night he got 3 .....
co-incidence I guess ;o)
