Birkenhead Park Upper lake

Dave has arranged a match at the venue for Sunday 25th July.
 Briefly, the lake has been drained, desilted, and restocked. Average depths are round 4 feet. You will be fishing for tench, mainly around 6 oz, but up to a pound, crucians, roach and skimmers in 4/8oz bracket, and occasional small barbel. There are NO carp (maybe a stray one stocked illegally). 
Best bait will probably be pellet, 4 or 6mm, over micro feed, and possibly maggot. I have also caught on meat, but caster did not catch, and neither did corn. Things may be different for you.
I would envisage a winning weight of 25-30lb (fingers crossed). See you there, and best of luck.
