Try something new?

[Michaela]

Hi all.. I will be going float fishing this week and i want to try something different! I want to catch something quite big, carp especially i have used maggots (never fail) pellets and i even tried out some tinned boilies (strawberry) and that landed me quite a nice fish... any other ideas or even flavours etc..What groundbait to use etc..PLEASE give me some more ideas THANK YOU :confused:

Sweetcorn and luncheon meat will both tempt carp and are easy to get hold of to. A coarse mix groundbait will also help.

tinned chickpeas or pepperami for carp. if there are tench where you fish, then black pudding or cockles are always worth a try

Don't forget good old bread!

 

Carp are suckers for both a floating crust, and a slow sinking lump of flake

feed pellets and ground up lucheon meat then use sweetcorn on the hook had loads of double figure carp like that

believe it or not, elderberries or prawns can produce good fish. they're different but berries are mainly good for roach and rudd. I caught a small roach on elderberries once.

 

Or cheese works well for carp.

[jeepster]

any kind of berry (all the better if it occurs naturally at your venue) will work, i go on the idea that if i like it, the fish will like it too!!! works with black pudding, cockles, peperami, luncheon meat, sweetcorn, hemp etc etc

Bread with treacle, greatly underated bait.
