Best results in the past have come from fishing for one fish at a time. Depending on weather conditions up to 1 kg of bait around each rod. Baiting for the carp a mixture of boilies, pellets and particle.
Best results for catfish are my pellets, just a hand full spread out and 1 fished on my pellet lasso rig. Live baits caught from here also work.How hard is the fishing?
The carp and cat fishing can be easy to moderate depending on how they are feeding and also your choice of bait and tactics.
