I sometimes buy the flavoured luncheon meat from the fish shops, Hallibutt flavour works great.

A fight better than a carp, they jump out the water lol, had to go past 3 fishermen on the bank to land it because my £100 pole was not strong enough to drag it back and the elastic was fully stretched, the fishermen werent happy bringing all there gear in haha.
