chub problems

hi, im going to my local pond tomorow and the day after saturday and sunday about 11:00 till dark each day and i have a little idea how im going to fish for them but have never caught one before and by the way im going to use 4lb line. has anyone got any tips on winter baits and rig ect..

4lb line should be ok mate, how big are the chub? a few good winter baits bread crust, breadflake. Cheese paste and luncheon meat paste, These are usually used in coloured water. maggots, worm and slugs. float or ledger should do the trick. hope this helps.

If you're using slugs look for the ones with the orange frill around them they seem to work best

they dont get much bigger than 41/2lbs i wouldn't imagen, and thanks for the advice. ive been told liquidised bread in a cage feeder before with a lump of bread on the hook, is this another good method or not?

how did you get on with the chub fishing then mate?

good fun fishing for chub in ponds and lakes, some have escaped from the river trent into the gravelpits soo, i sometimes go for them, mostly waggler and maggots and sometimes worms, perch normally get their first though

theres quite a few chub in my local commercial (aswell as barbel, which isnt right) i think that the best way to catch 'em is on the waggler with luncheon meat, then again, i can never break the 2lb mark.
