Ok, first op in a new section so I’d better make it good right?? I’m not sure really what to say at this point, as the section could be open to literally hundreds of entries, each one highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of certain mixes. I’ll start off though with ... Read review

Pigeon Pooh And Dope

Advantages: attrractive to fish, sometimes smells yummy to me too, texture can be altered easily with the addition of different amounts of water.
Disadvantages: sometimes the 1kg bag doesn't last too long.

...making a choice in continental groundbaits it is a good idea to think about the following:

~~ Depth of water you’ll be fishing in.
~~ Type and size of fish you want to catch.
~~ The amount of fish you’re expecting to catch (and other factors).
~~ What bait will you be using with it??

As with a few earlier ops, I can’t really tell you ...
...usually less active and rich groundbaits can easily over feed them. This will then cause them to switch off the feed, simply because they’ll make themselves sick if they eat anymore. For situations like this (like now – beginning of March), 'Match Blend' is perfect. Not so sweet as ‘Lake’, it's dark in colour and much slower in action. This makes it a good choice for winter and difficult waters. As a base it's ideal for mixing ... more

A Perfect Grounding.

Advantages: cheaper and more effective than commercial groundbaits.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage I find, is that you have to make it your self.

...plenty of good ready made groundbaits available, I personally like to make my own. I would like to share some of my own, home made groundbait recipes which I have found to be very effective. My favourite winter groundbait mix, for fishing using the pole for small silver fish. Take.. 1Kilo of Mole Hill Soil, which has been dried to a powder and sieved. 4 Table spoons of turmeric. 1 Table spoon of caster sugar. 1 Tea spoon of table salt. 100g ...
...200g of ground trout pellets. 1 Tea spoon of ground ginger. 3 Table spoons of chocolate powder or coco powder. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, buy adding the water to the mixture not mixture to the water. This will give you a less lumpy mix. I find using a water spray bottle, rather than just pouring the water in, is a much better way of doing it. You could also add some Joker and Blood worm to the mix, if so leave out the ...

Groundbaiting in the sea... surely not

Advantages: Cheap to do when done correctly, good results.
Disadvantages: FEAR FACTOR - You will look silly if you do it without results. Difficult to carry a large amount.

Whoever heard of groundbaiting in the sea? Surely there's plenty there already, don't need anymore! Besides, Sea Angling bait is a bit expensive to just throw into the ocean. Whilst browsing in Weymouth library one day, I came across an old angling book that contained an entire chapter on groundbaiting in the sea. So I gave it a go, why not? The mixture was bread, Oatmeal and a bit of fish oil (I used co-liver oil). The entire mixture only cost ...
...bucket I use for live-baiting (Look out for this article coming soon!.)and chucked a handful in every 15 minutes. Everything was quiet for about an hour, I was beginning to think about bagging up and heading off to the fishmongers for super when my rod literally bent in half. After a 20 minute struggle I reeled in my record Bass, a 18lb specimen. I ground bait whenever I fish off Weymouth's Stone Pier now, and the results are always better that ...

Worms - are they good for anything else

Advantages: Cheap (free), versatile
Disadvantages: can't catch every type of fish

the whole thing near some reeds and hang on!! Worms always have been and always will be the king of baits. No other bait is so versatile - you can use it whole, chop it up, mix with bread for an excellent groundbait, use a few at once. There are also many types of worm - earthworm, red worm, joker - they're all good. The other idea is to catch a perch on worm, then use it as a deadbait for pike. It all works, because of the beauty of the worm. ...

Review of Worms

My Friend Mr Pellethead

Advantages: The plain stuff is very cheap. As a whole, this is a brilliant bait!!!!!
Disadvantages: Fattens fish so they look funny sometimes, can get overfed which fishery owners don't like. In fact they are banned on a fair few venues these days.

, but the pellet is full of oils which are supposed to be good for the fish. They spread quickly through the water and attract the fish quickly. Most of you are probably still thinking about what I’m on about. I’ll start again, but in the middle. A pellet, is just that. A small pellet of protein packed oily ‘stuff’. They’re normally dark brown in colour and can be bought in many different sizes. Hey range from those of about 1mm across, up to about 12mm I think. The 1mm ones are best used for adding to groundbait, or as a feed for small fish, while the bigger ones are best for Carp etc. The good thing about pellet is that is probably one of the few baits that is actually best as a feed rather than a hook bait. When feeding it you can use any bait you want with it. It really never seems to ...

Review of Pellet

Big Sorrys To Clanmac4 and Moose

Advantages: Smelly for fish cos they're full of nice juices. Cheap too
Disadvantages: Crualty to worms???????

a massive size range. You might want a worm that was 5mm long, or you might want one that’s 20cm long. You can always find one of exactly the right size for what you’re fishing for. If you’re not using them on the hook, they make an excellent attractant. Either added to groundbait or fed pure and chopped up in to squillions of pieces (the sick bit!! More of that to come). They catch lots of fishies. Particularly Bream, Carp and Perch. But this opinion would surely be incomplete without fatty Bennys “Stuff You Just Didn’t Wanna Know” (said with expression and severe over-acting!! Like I’m a game show host or something and you’re introducing me at the beginning of the program). Ok, the idea of the game is to read ...
