Have had real fun this season stalking fish with a bit of success... however, its nearly always been with fish that I've seen before putting any bait in. However, I'm interested in some advice on drawing fish into swims/spots from nearby snags/deeper holes...
I would normally feed a few pellets (maybe a dozen) into an area (usually by hand), then leave the swim and come back to see if fish have moved in. There is a large head of chub in both the rivers that I fish this way so the pellets do draw them in very quickly... I'm wondering if I should feed more and wait for longer for the Barbel to move in? How long/how much feed do others use? Any other thoughts/advice appreciated...
Thanks
