Has anyone else done similar things with there hemp,i love the stuff and think its good enough as it is, i just fancy a change! any ideas?? Good fishing Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Paul Williams Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Doc, I honestly believe that we would do more harm than good by messing with hemp.....they love it as it is!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mike_pk_Waters Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Teaspoon of salt and teaspoon of sugar per lb (or should that be 2.2 teaspoons per kilo). Salt is a known appetite stimulator and everything that swims (except pike,perch or zander) seems to have a sweet tooth (can that be right) ------------------ Life is not a dress rehearsal, enjoy it [This message has been edited by Mike_pk_Waters (edited 11 June 2001).] Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andy Thatcher Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I have used it at 15ml per kilo with a handful of Activ8 Response Pellets and 3 handfuls of trout pellets. Had a nice catch of tench fishing 10ml Activ8 boilies over it. Give it a go ! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Grubby_Fisherman Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Doc, Personally I think that Pauls advice is best. Why mess with one of the best natural baits there is. Only thing I do is usually add some sweetcorn to my hemp. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest lyn Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 I put some vanilla essence in with mine when I cooked some to go in my groundbait for the fish in at the Viaduct. They just loved it. Going to give it a try on the river just to see how it goes. lyn Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Graham E Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Last year for carp I used an old cheesepaste trick and squeezed hemp around my pellet pastes. Fooled em. Add a pinch of bicarb of soda to your hemp to blacken it and try adding a d/spoon of golden syrup for tench/carp Link to post Share on other sites
