lol. maybe thats why blanks happen. and why so few fish get caught. lol

prep being, knowing the venue and spots you going to fish, getting as much info on the venue as you can, deciding on your game plan (how you going to take on the venue), getting your baiting stratergy in place, deciding what bait presintation you going to use,deciding what bait you going to use, getting rigs/traces ready, getting all your gear ready, prepearing your feed, cheacking the weather and recent catches, etc.

just my 2cents

Valid points Puma!

Lucky for me a fish quite alot and I have to keep my gear and rigs sorted all the time. I have a basic game-plan that I follow and all my gear is set up to fall in with this game-plan. I rarely go with a boat as I am a club bank angler, so feature finding is not high on my priority list. Seeing as Aqua-Via isn't very wide, we should be able to find the fish in that area we will be fishing.

I am however glad you will be joining us to show us more on this as I want to learn for when I go camping seriously later on this winter.

Naruto im gonna do a trip in july with bruggie you are more then welcome to join.

i always use a boat as feature finding is number 1 on my list. i dont mind using the marker float etc but the boat is much easier and way more accurate.

a good game plan and good prep can make all the diff.
those who fail to plan, plan to fail.

I know what bait I will be using... Dough on one rod and mielies on the other. Plain feed. Distance depends on where I find the fish, but I reckon 120m should hit the river bed nicely for a depth of about 8-10m. Don't think I will be using a lot of dips.
