2024 is now underway, the fish and anglers in some cases are now waking up from the slumber. This said, the bait making and testing hasn't stopped since the cold set in last year. Not the whole team but, a small handful of us crazy cold weather fools were on the bank testing some new test baits that we will consider at this time to be fast leaking hook baits for very cold water. We had a couple of results, which was good but now they are once again on the back burner until the end of the year when the cold sets in so we can test them again in their new form - they would break down way too fast for warm water, a factor they are not intended for specifically. I myself am glad, as they absolutely stank to hi-hell during the rolling process, bringing me to a mouth watering place I'd only rather go after a few too many beers - nuff said really on that matter.
the site payment issue is now fixed, both card and paypal can be used - its all been tested this end by several volunteers (yes we did refund them LOL)
This not a scientific article, purely my insights, findings and light ‘ish’ opinions as a bait maker. I do not have 30 - 40 year experience of carp angling or bait making. This in itself, doesn’t make me incorrect either, so I’ll keep it all as light and easy as possible, the way I like it to be. Most anglers generally buy their bait as a given and wont give two pub chucks about what I’m talking about and probably wont read past this first paragraph. But either way, I wanted to pose possible bait theories and how you choose to apply/use it for your next session and also seed possibilities to your mind as well. And, above everything else, I wont be giving you a magic ingredient for a bait mix, to the ultimate bait, as there just isnt one.
The gaffer had finally broken his streak of bad luck this weekend in mid-April, taking a well-deserved break from the rolling tables and machines to fish at a members-only lake near HQ. This lake, along with another he had been visiting since the end of summer last year, had yielded zero results for him in terms of carp, save for a measly roach and a handful of liners.
