Hi.
I know there is always the advice of fishing fruity flavours when warm and strong when cold. But just to throw a spanner in those works,I fished a club comp this weekend. It was very hot at the dam and I was using,garlic and tcp,and fishing only one hook as there was too much grass in the water too fish with two,and I ended 3rd.
So,in my opinion,there is never a certain 'situation' where one can say this or that will work.
Its quite difficult because one day one thing will work and the next something else,its all about trial and error.
I'm not saying the advice giving by the mags is incorrect,on the contrary I praise them for giving out those 'secrets', but you should never follow blindly,my advice is use it as a guideline and don't be afraid to try something new!!
