Baiting Tips
This lake has a pressured time during the season. It sees a lot of different styles of fishing and many different presentations of bait and as you can imagine, some good some not so good! I am at the lake every day and see many, many fish being caught and generally it always seems to fall to the same tactics… KEEPING IT SIMPLE.

One of the best methods that constantly will put a fish on the bank during the warmer months is the …”little and often approach” which as it says means you add very little bait but at regular intervals.

First, find a spot you feel is a good place. Either a nice clear gravel patch or a little plateau. Then cast to that spot and mark your line so that you know the next time you are right on the spot. You can mark your line with power gum or even electrical tape so you get the distance right every time.

The following baits and combinations seem to work well on Bill's Lake 1.

• Chops and Hemp
• Small PVA Bag and Paste
• Tigers
