Still haven't got this pellet fishing sorted, I’m missing a couple of vital fish in order to more me into a frame place!   Last couple of matches I have struggled to maintain a steady stream of fish.........

• I'm unsure if to feed one line, gets exhausted more start another fresh line, then move onto another.
• Rotating between two lines, feed one and then fish other and rotate, this gives the fish time to settle (have been doing this and feel this isn't 100% correct)
• How much to feed?  To each bite or fish? 
• Do you feed ten, fifteen, twenty, etc 4mm pellets? 
• Is micro’s better for these new stocky fish? 
• "Pinging pellets on top" (fish coming to noise, but can bring them up-in-the-water and you can over do it i.e. feed too much)

Generally speaking more positive feeding will result in more carp, Manor has a large head of carp, but today I only had one.  Also speaking to other anglers not many carp fed today.  Micro’s did result in a few missed bites once the carp was feeding on Middle's match on Saturday, but I felt that the micro bought more small F1's into the peg or encouraged them to feed, but when the carp feed I missed a couple of bites, and therefore only fed 4mm's and began to connect with the bites.  But them missed bites maybe have cost me section win.
