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??
DEPTH
_____
As with a few earlier ops, I can’t really tell you about rivers, but the idea behind it all is generally the same.
The depth will give ... ...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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
