Pre season? Yesterday?
We are mid season here. Carp are all surface feeding.

I noticed that my bait boxes have quite strong aroma to them and so left
them soaking overnight, which seems to have done bugger all to alleviate
things...
Do you not use bicarb of soda?
Do you not use Tumeric to cover the maggots?

Any suggestions??
Wash using bicarb of soda & use a small amount of tumeric in your
maggots.
