Prawns , Meat.

fish the margins for them about 2-3 foot of the bank.

Also zig rigs are good for the carp or surface baits , but your not ment to use them. but the owner doesnt mind as long as your sensible and dont spoil it.

and the far end of the lake is better or on the tree's in the middle acing the man in the water

tight lines mate

Luncheon meat/ Cat meat on the float rod, don't need to take your carp rods, float rod and 5lb line...alot more fun! I had 2 out biggest 9lb when i went last, in the margins like critch said, closest end to the house in the little bay.

Boilies

[Critch]

if your going to use boilies then be careful as they are also banned. but you can use them as long as youdont pile the bait in!

they got banned because of some muppet piling in loads of boilies which leaded to a fish kill in the lake hence the reason they are banned.

yes mate think your right, remember one lad saying he had 6 of them, then mark (bailiff) looked at his pics and said its the same one amazingly, apparantly they have a habit of going back to the baited area they were caught from, but 6 times, he must be a bit dippy. lol
