Switching to worm, I started getting 'one a chuck' up to the point that I was getting just a bit bored. Out of idle curiosity I left the worm on the hook after catching a crucian, and promptly caught another on the same piece of worm. There's not much that I can say about methods for Bonds lake. It's pole or feeder to the island. If fishing the pole, the fish will feed up in the water as the day wears on, provided that you are feeding regularly.
Baits are maggot, meat or pellet, feeding maggot or pellet.
