hi guys just want to pick your brains see what your opinions are,
i used to do a fair bit of match fishing back in the day (you know the usual teenage testosterone fuelled need to compete) and i always found a good way to aproach the river bait wise was the use large amounts of loosefed maggots or hemp caster (not sure of the modern term but involved feeding a pouch of maggotts every 30 seconds for half hour get the fish really sharking on the bait before fishing for them) it used to work well for big bags of roach chub n barbel. so my ques is this, has or does anyone fish like this anymore? does it still work? do barbel on the ba spook on hemp as some have told me? what would be your preference hemp n caster or straight maggot, im out on the avon at bathampton weir tuesday and avoncliffe thurs and was going to try either, any bait advice or tactics for those stretches? (cant help but get the feeling that as ive had a few seasons off im seriously off the money when it comes to bait tactics etc) also anyone got any idea who controls fishing on the frome at freshford (confluence with avon)
cheers in advance guys, pm me if you have advice you dont want being public.
