Where Have All The Fish Gone?

[Chris_010292]

Hi again, now I have a question on general silver fish. The story is that I have not had one of these for too long now I understand that I would not really catch any during the winter but as last week had been really hot I would of thought that I would be able to catch lots of silver fish but the truth is I only had 1 little Roach yesterday and that was using Red Maggots for bait, does anyone know whether I need to use any other types of bait such as White Maggots etc as I thought that silver fish were the easiest to catch, thanks so much for all your help here, I appreciate it so much and I badly want to start catching in this weather! Cheers,

Chris.

most of the fish are spawning my friend, so there not really intrested in feeding, well apart from the barbel at cudmore, went there yesterday and fished the arena pool, the same pool were the fishomaina final is on, had a great day, had 2 nice carp, 2 crucians, 1 bream and about 40 bloody barbel.

bait is correct but as warrior says it is difficult at the moment due to breeding & spawning
sometimes you can use a smaller hook & use finer line

I am finding at the moment that I am catching loads of little silvers at my local lake. Just using red maggots. It has not failed for the last few weeks. Am using a very small rig with fine line and putting some maggots around the float occasionally. Taking lots of roach, rudd and skimmers. Tried sweetcorn and other standard stuff when doing "little fish" fishing but they're not interested. As soon as the reds go in they jump on the hook!!

The fish in our local canal have totally come back on the feed now, perch bream roach and about a trillion gudgeon!
