[Preparing dog biscuits]

I finally got around to buying some dog biscuits as the next venue I'm going off to is supposed to do well off the top, but how do I prepare these dog biscuits. I bought the pedigree mixer biscuits.

Take 1 1/2 lb of mixers and place in a large plastic bag,mix 150ml 0f warm water with 10ml of fish oil,add this to the mixers ,blow the bag up(not literally!) and shake until the side of the bag is clear of water and leave overnight.

This will leave soft rubbery mixers that will last on the hook,but as mentioned above ,a cork hookbait dipped in fish oil will last all day.

could it not just be the fact that ther was no fish feeding on the spot with the other baits????? and could the fish just not of fancied the other baits cos they have been hammered on it in the past.....baits blow jus take tigers used to be awesom but can sit for months on lake beds now cos fish been caught on them so often...also bit pricey don't you think??? good bait companys normally do a deal for bulk orders........we only pay 5.50 a kilo wen we buy 10k or more

I think tigers "blow" because people use them by the bucket full rather than by the handfull.

I've fished on plenty of lakes were the tigernut boys have been,the fish just won't feed on anything for weeks after.
