Carp Fishing in France and the UK

The recipe produced around a kilo of bait. I've made "mis-shapes" rather than rounds. The pic shows about half of what was produced. a. cos it was easier b. the irregular shape will catch me more fish Really please with the outcome, however crushing the hemp by hand took some time - I might process it through a coffee or pepper grinder next time. Right - on to trying it out on a new lake I've joined for the year. Gardners Pool in Frampton. Wish me luck!

Having purchased 10kg of Dynamic Source base mix and some glug recipe No.1 will be (approx) 4 eggs 250g base mix 100g maize flour 50g desiccated coconut 50g 1mm response pellet 50g crushed hemp 25ml of dynamite source glug Will let you know how I get on!

No excuses this time. Plenty of freezer space. And a bigger kitchen. I'm making boilies myself this year - woohoo! As I loved them when I first started carp fishing I've gone for the Dynamite Source base mix plus some of my own surprises. I'll let you know how I get on....

Tactics this time was Mr Snowman featuring a Pineapple nugget bottom bait popped up with a pineapple popup. This fished over a bed of mixed pellet and particle. Anyway, here's my catch report: 1.
