Rudd in my case so ok lol

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

BoldBear,

 

An odd attractant for grassies is noise on a submersible speaker. The noise is supposed to mimic the crunch of hydrilla. Seems to work although I have no explaination. Sounds like static to me??

 

Bait - I almost always use a grape tomato and just let it bob about near the weed line. This is one of those cases you've seen me mention where I use ice cubes with holes in the center for casting distance if needed.

Hopefully a proper camo carp bucket and not just a galvanised one?

The bell noise has been replaced by an APP ,just $1.99 a month and in many variations incase the fish get elusive

Phone, if I knew anyone who liked him and owned one I would use an underwater speaker to play a Max Bygraves record. The fish would then be jumping straight out into my landing net :)

Last time out I conducted a very short and unscientific experiment using fake corn and real corn fished on the feeder and the float. The result was 0 - 8 I gave up on the fake variant. Further fish were caught on real corn @nd real maggots .

All,

 

I love this debate but learned LONG ago opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. On this side of the pond it is generally accepted that natural bait is for feeding the fish, artificial bait is for catching fish. That philosophy is somewhat based on the notion it is more "sporting" to catch on artificial offerings.

 

As I have said, probably to many times, North America is truly blessed with an abundance of nature. If it was hard to catch fish I suspect we would have a more balanced attitude toward natural.

 

Having said that, I contend fish are really really stupid. A side by side with a record of 8 - 0 using baits that are extremely similar in appearance and texture would not be possible on this side of the pond - especially for carp.

I must try this method.

 

 

 

How do you post a YouTube link? I tried the one featuring Russ Abbot swinging a loudspeaker into the river playing Des O'Connor.
