alternatives to boilies?

[ohterry]

i,m fishing a new lake this weekend. and ive been told the carp are not over fond of boilies.

what other alternatives could you recommend i try.

i had thought of meat, and worm n s,corn.

 

thanks in advance terry

wen u say new lake, do you mean to you or new in general? A big old stinky worm or corn i would reccomend anyway

half a brazil nut, what a bait, however depends on how long your fishing? short stay then forget my recommendation

pepperami(green wrapper)and halibut pellets.

[Peter Sharpe]

A large halibut pellet or chick peas (soaked overnight and then boiled until you can just about squash them between your fingers).

I wouldn't believe the stories about boilies though. Trigga would be my first choice.

I agree with Peter, they will soon move onto boilies!

[Chris the Fish]

id go for the ground up boilie paste wrapped round a 10mm pop up, with a small bag of boilie crumb with some broken bits, flavour of your choice.

 

or luncheon meat punched with an apple corer.

 

these two seem to be working for me at the mo.

[RUDD]

Halibut pellets, maple peas, pastes, bread, corn, meat baits, maize, worms, chum mixers,

 

there are so many baits and particles its mind boggling.

 

The hardest part is gaining confidence with a bait when you first use it.

 

I never thought I would get takes on multiple maple peas and ended up taking a water apart with them after slowly introducing them into tactical areas. The same happended with halibut pellets.

 

I am now going to try Nutrabits csl and trigga hooker pellets.

i always find that gound up trout pellets and the make up in a paste always make a good carp bait instead of boilles
