Carp Fishing Bait – Pre-Baiting For Maximum Results
For the next week, I am going to see how effective pre-baiting a swim can be. First off I need a good location to test this theory and put it into practice. I’m going to my local canal, a notoriously difficult water to catch on. I and many others have blanked this venue many many times. But we continue to fish it because it holds some absolute monsters. The canal is over 120 years old and has not had a boat on it for over 50 of them. Its really long, the stretch I’m fishing is about 4 miles before it breaks, so the fish can be anywhere. This is a great opportunity to test the pulling power of a regular baiting cycle.
Having walked this canal many times in the past, I already have a good idea of where I want to fish, but its a nice day so I’m going to walk the whole length and see if I can see any areas that are holding the carp naturally. An obvious choice would be where the canal breaks, but its over fished here and I cant guarantee that a peg will be available come …show more content…
To help with the piggy bank, I got 10kg of Cell Basemix and added 1kg of crushed Hemp seed to give me 11kg of the sweetest smelling boilies available. Click here for a guide on how to make your own boilies.
The baiting plan will be 2 tennis ball sized lumps of High Impact Groundbait and 100 boilies each day for 1 week. The boilies will range in size from 10-18mm, with the majority being larger. I always like to use a few small baits to get the smaller carp interested, this will make the larger carp feel more secure when feeding.
The timing will play a crucial part in this. There is not much point turning up at different times during the day, carp wont sit and wait for food, they will actively seek out food as part of their daily routine. So I’m going to turn up 1 hour before sunset each day and introduce my freebies to the same
