Any time now till june for spawning. Waters got to be around 17 degrees for a little while before they kick off I think.

I was afraid I might be jumping the gun a bit to early.i pre baited last year early to i went for the may bank holiday weekend and had a serious day filled the net,I normaly always started the middle or close to the end of may

Get out there give it a crack man! Keep baiting and fishing the same spot, wont be long before they`ve polished the bottom. Eating machines when they`re on it... Normally when your fishing for something else My best is 9lb14oZ. Caught it carp fishing. They probably go much bigger over there?

Not really bud, Ive never really set out after them. Pellet always pulled them down. Could get expensive if your looking to put big beds down regular. Pigeon conditioner was always a good one too. You can add bits of your intended hookbait to it. and once all the big particles have been munched, theres always the tiny seeds theyve pushed into the silt to hold them longer.

Ah fuk that's 9 years ago dts sum fish but.i don't go to mad on the pocket I usually spend to nights before hand feeding brown crumb maggot castor sweet corn pinkies worm and my key ingredient is strawberry mix and 7 up.

Just use particle=hemp/ pigeon conditioner/ red band ,great for getting beds of bait on the bottom cheaply , I fish for carp, but on some lakes you can't use the above, if you do your plagued with very large bream/ tench.

 

bream also love small fishmeal boilies

My father fished Loch Muckno for bream the other day and only got some small roach. He said that there were pike in large numbers spawning in the shallows, some of them huge.

So if the pike are spawning now it's not usually for another few weeks before the bream will start.

Water temp far to low for spawning.

This pigeon condioner is new to me slip lead il have to look into it see where I can get my hands on a bag of it,it sounds good and I like to try and get a good bed of bait down to hold the bream in my swim.
