1. TARGET BIGGER CARP WITH BAIT - A Discussion Extract:
April 11, 2007


Here’s a great bait suggestion. Bait is such a wide spectrum of opinions, and most baits success hinge upon the fact that fish have not been hooked on them before, to give them a maximum edge; that of being ‘different.’ See how to here! Even where carp keep eating baits where they get their energy supply from carbohydrate based baits containing semolina, rice flour, maize meal, soya flour and the like, they perhaps are homing in on the fact that so much of it is being used rather than looking specifically for it to supplement their natural diet. So much depends on variables like wat... (read more)

2. HOW to MAKE BETTER CARP BAITS - Exploit Great Bait Edges
April 11, 2007


You might find that as in the case of intensively fished waters where a great quantity of one dominant bait is being fed, that it becomes difficult to catch fish on other baits, for a variety of reasons. For instance, in carp match fishing in the UK, there are waters dominated by ‘Dynamite Baits’ halibut pellets. In such a situation you are looking at ‘topping’ this bait somehow. I will go further into this below. You might prefer to go the easy route of using a bait made from exactly the same pellet only crushed and made into boilie form like those of ‘Dynamite’s halibut boilies. O... (read more)

3. BEST HOMEMADE CATFISH BAITS - Introduction to Great Beginner Ingredients
April 11, 2007


I’ve caught cats to over 110 pounds on homemade baits and over 25 above 60 pounds here in the UK so I know these baits work! Making your own homemade baits has massive advantages and I find the similarities between catfish and homemade big carp bait design has many very effective similarities. You have full control over just how unique and potentially powerfully attracting these baits can be. These baits may be very simple or complicated, but they all catch to varying degrees of success, some perhaps catching you more larger catfish! Catfish are very fast growing fish and are especi...

4. MAKING POWERFUL CATFISH and CARP GROUND BAITS
April 11, 2007


Ground bait is extremely important to actually turning fish from wary natural creatures into ravenous hunters looking for food to satisfy their specific nutritional cravings for food. It makes catching them so much easier! It’s wise to use as a ground bait base, something which is proven to be a very effective feeding trigger. For example, cayenne peppers, hot peppers, red peppers, and lots of other types of useful peppers are excellent carp feeding triggers. Soaking hemp in spices and peppers is a great edge! I would add these additives before soaking hemp and after soaking it too -... (read more)

April 11, 2007


Diabetic food ingredients are brilliant and massively proven carp attactors! I am going to introduce a new theory I have about very many effective carp bait ingredients in a way that you can easily relate to, in your own diet and how those exact same foods can make you feel and strongly affect your health and energy availability. It’s very interesting to see how many similarities so called ‘health foods’ have in common with highly effective carp baits. This piece appears angled towards the importance of carbohydrates and sugars in our diet, but this is just part of the story. Being a... (read more)

A STINGRAY TALE The head of Queen Charlotte Sounds are tidal. The tide range is not huge, but the water being as shallow as it is, low tide reveals a great expanse of brownness. Ringed by lush native bush to the waterline, this little corner of Marlborough is paradise to a small boy. That great area of exposed mud, littered with stranded puddles of left behind sea, pockmarked with crab holes and their scuttling tenants, dark seaweed smell everywhere, draws like a magnet. Large holes left by monster snapper excavating for succulent molluscs with their bone crushing jaws, floated tremulou... (read more)

8. COOL CARP BOILIE BAIT FLAVOURS - The Age Of Confidence In A Bottle
February 20, 2007


This is rapidly becoming the age of the ‘bait sponsored angler.’ Commercial pressures and marketing demand that many more ordinary anglers are having to compete with those ‘sponsored’ individuals. These fortunate are able to 'free-feed' huge quantities of top quality boilies, pellets and ground baits, supplied to them either for free, or at 'knock-down' discount prices. Everyone knows that using bait supplied in large enough, regular quantities, will directly affect the movement, feeding behaviour and location of carp, in a water. Generally, carp fishing has become more competitive ... (read more)

9. COOL CARP CATCHES - A Very Successful 6 Months Cold Water Carp Catching
February 20, 2007


Although I have winter fished regularly for years I wanted a much ‘bigger picture’ of winter carp fishing and see all the changes in carp behaviours, test winter baits, fishing conditions and catch results at this time. 5 years ago I chose to spend 4 days out of 7 (on average,) carp fishing. I did this from late October, right through to the end of March and on into the beginning of April. (Unfortunately this was a very cold winter too!) The lake I chose was small with a deep ‘half’ of around 20 feet in depth and an average depth of 6 to 9 feet, working up to a shallow end of ar... (read more)

12. Exceptional Carp Baits And Rigs -- Milk Protein Bait And Rig Methods
February 08, 2007


* Using milk proteins as pastes instead of boilies, is the most efficient method of delivering these type of baits' “carp come and eat me” signals! There is no damaging heating of the proteins in the boiling process and no coagulated protein barrier on the surface of dough or paste baits to affect and slow down attractors, smells and carp feeding triggering amino acids leaking-off. This affects all coagulated egg skinned ‘boilies!’ There are many ways to avoid or reduce this effect. (Like using a binder other than ‘conventional’ eggs.) Or like ‘skinning’ the baits for e.g. a maxim... (read more)

February 08, 2007


* Do you want ‘a shot of confidence’ when other baits have let you down? Here is are some truly powerful weapons to add to your homemade carp baits! ‘Milk proteins’ are extracts of whole milk by using various processes, e.g. some use acids, and others, using physical means, use grading screens and ‘ultra filtration’ etc. Some of these milk derivatives retain certain nutritional qualities that are better for bait making purposes and unique carp attraction, and offer different qualities in a bait. The caseins are measured in ‘mesh grades’, and vary widely in quality and solubility an... (read more)

February 08, 2007


* Top carp fishing baits are rarely made from ‘purely’ milk protein ingredients these days. But there are many very attractive reasons to make your own very unique and powerful homemade baits using them. * It is rare to find any of your ‘competing’ fishermen using these and so they really do offer a massive and ‘different edge.’ Carp really love them and these baits will often ‘select’ bigger fish too… One of the most successful homemade baits of the 1970s and early 1980’s era, in the UK, was what was termed, ‘the four milks’. This consisted of equal amounts of casein, lactalbumin, ... (read more)

15. Exciting Big Carp Bait -- Exploiting Greed And Pecking Order
February 07, 2007


* It has been shown by scientists that chilids (the ‘perch-like fish,’) establish a life-long feeding, mating and territorial ‘pecking-order,’ by actually observing the fights and competitive feeding activities of their peers. This is ‘mirrored’ in carp, and it is especially interesting for us, in big carp; so why not truly exploit this natural behaviour and achieve some exceptional catches! To specifically target those biggest carp, you can really leverage bait and baiting techniques. You can induce a ‘competitive’ escalation of ‘bait excited fish activity’ in your swim, right up throu... (read more)

Is your bait pulling in every big fish for miles? If your chum or ground bait is not you are seriously missing out and really need to exploit this vital element of successful fishing far more! The act of feeding bait into your swim while fishing or indeed before going fishing as in ‘pre-baiting,’ is a cornerstone in effective angling. If you cannot pull fish into your swim and hold them there looking for food for any length of time, then there are very vital things going wrong for you. * If your fish do not become stimulated by your bait, they may not even ‘realise’ that even your h...

February 05, 2007


Many fishermen swear by chum or ‘ground baits’ that really stink! But what makes them ‘stink’ and work so well? They may have their own secret family recipe, or just buy it ready-made. Either way, they work! The question possibly to ask is, why? And what are ideal ingredients for such baits? Well surprisingly, perhaps the answer lies in the way some ‘pest control’ traps work! In gardens, slugs are a problem eating plants and doing damage to vegetables. One proven method is to gather them up in a jar full of beer!

* You may not have considered making your own successful ‘homemade’ fishing bait, before – but there is a very simple and easy ‘short-cut’ that ANYONE can use! * Many fishing bait companies especially here in the UK, supply proprietary bait ‘base mixes.’ These are just a combination of dry powders that by testing and fishing trials have been proven to catch fish very well and consistently. When mixed with simply water or eggs, they will bind together and roll into bait balls well, and are designed to make highly productive boilies too. These ‘base mixes’ are absolutely ideal for a ...
