How to use deadbaits for pike
Deadbait fishing for pike is an artform in itself, and when done successfully it can lead to catching the bigger pike in the lake, river or canal.
Jan Porter is a big fan of fishing deadbaits, and can't wait until the leaves turn brown and fall gracefully to the floor as that marks the perfect time to get armed with frozen and fresh baits and head out to catch a few big pike.
We caught up with Jan on the banks of a vast stillwater to find out how best to approach deadbait fishing for pike, what tackle is required, the bite indication necessary and the type of baits that work best.
And on top of that, Jan's alarms screamed and he managed to bank a few doubles too!

How to feed groundbait
One way to attract masses of carp, bream, tench and roach when fishing is to ball it in and feed with many balls of groundbait. This term is commonly known as 'balling in'.
Getting it right is absolutely imperative because once you've thrown that groundbait and feed in, you can't take it out again!
Here - in part three of Gofishing's exclusive video series - Iain Toombs explains why you should ball in at the start of a fishing session and exactly how to do it correctly.
There's tips on throwing the balls of groundbait, accuracy, how tightly packed you should feed, when to feed, how to add your loosefeed and, above all, how to make sure you catch loads more fish after 'balling in' your groundbait.

How to catch big carp on maggots from a commercial
Andy Kidd has been taking his local commercial snake lake apart catching masses of carp using pints of mixed maggots.
The lake contains a huge amount of smaller fish, such as roach, but his feeding technique ensures that the roach don't really get a look in and each time the float goes under, it's another carp on the end.
The venue he's been fishing is The Oaks in North Yorkshire, where pellets are the principle bait for big carp weights. But as the season changes another bait has to be found to keep the carp's interest.
How to use sloppy groundbait
An angler who has bagged four match wins in a fortnight and landed almost 600lb in the process has revealed that feeding a deadly sloppy groundbait mix whips the carp shoals into a feeding frenzy.
Leigh Tackle and Bait ace Chris Weeder Jnr has dominated events at Blundells Fishery since he devised the cunning approach, so to find out more Angling Times met up with him on Trio Pool at the Cheshire complex.
An even blend of Sonubaits Tiger Fish and Ringers Dark was introduced into a large bowl and whisked together with plenty of water to create the perfect sloppy groundbait that carp love.
Chris revealed his techniques for fishing with slop here in the video below.
