It is a lovely place with ducks, swallows and an ornamental pier but no fish. I tried feeding the area with bread crumbs and garlic spray from BCF. I add water to the mixture until it just clumps into golf ball size bits and throw them on top of my float every 5 minutes or so. The garlic spray really stinks and that made me think, perhaps it turns the fish off? And perhaps the berley itself will only attract lots of small fish. On this occassion nothing whatsoever happended and that got me thinking, was my ground bait turning the fish off? To answer the question I will now use a different ground bait approach.
Start by using no ground bait just in case there are some big fish around you already. Adding ground bait could simply attract loads of tiddlers who will steel your bait. If there are no signs of fish after 10 minutes then add some ground bait but start with plain old bread crumbs. Then after 5 minutes spice up the mizture by mixing in some Ultrabite. Then after a further 5 minutes add in the stinky garlic spray/chilly powder/crazy concotion you have read about on the English coarse fishing forums. This seems like a much more sensible, strutured approach and it can do no harm.
