hi all,
looking for some thoughts on pre-baiting, i know of a stretch of river that has a good head of barbel, but, gets very little or no attention from serious barbel anglers, so i assume they don't see a lot of pellets/boilies, now i intend to give this stretch some serious attention this coming season and have been feeding approx. 5-6 handfuls of pellets per week, in 6 different areas for about 5 weeks and will continue to do so until the magical 16th, will this be enough to get the barbel looking for them or do i need to feed more or more regularly? or should i just fish meat and sod the pre-baiting? there is quite a good head of chub and silvers too so no doubt even if the barbel are not eating them they will not be going to waste. any thoughts???
cheers, leon
