    I started this lake 2days ago with silt hooks 8, 10, 12 and surprisingly I've caught 17/19 boss some multiple times with this setup. The only 2 I'm missing are both Rudd I've caught around 50 with 0 boss.

    Only caught Gartholemew once with IQ D 8 and Niteglow Sweetcorn.

    Yes 30lb line, After tryiing your tips for Rudd boss I somehow landed Gartholemew again Stiff Rig 12 with Yellow Maggots.

    Tried a few setups, catching decent amount of boss just not Rudd.

    Edit: Just caught Dorry on the same setup!, 1 down thanks for the tip.
