An angler's opinion

Does bait for catching crucian carp in the spring work on a feeder?
In my case, the bait worked in 2 cases out of 10, so I am extremely skeptical about it. Bait by itself will not help to achieve success, but it will help to draw the crucian carp's attention to the hook and nozzle.
What is the main factor in catching crucian carp in the spring on a feeder?
An important factor is to actively look for it. At the expense of the feeder, you can actively look for crucian carp and "under your nose" throw a bait - this will be successful.
Does the wind affect the activity of crucian carp in spring?
Exactly when the waves from the wind appear, it activates the underwater inhabitants. According to one of the versions, the wind saturates the water with oxygen, plus washes food for fish to the bottom and locally concentrates fish in separate areas, and this stimulates fish to actively feed.
