I usually pre- bait with just boilies<br />
during the winter months, the<br />
main reason being that <strong>Nash</strong><br />
boilies are designed to ‘gas<br />
up’ and float to the surface if<br />
for some reason they don’t get<br />
eaten. This rarely happens in<br />
the summer but mid winter it’s<br />
so easy to get baiting levels<br />
wrong and I don’t want to<br />
ruin a potential hot spot with<br />
WINTER BAITING<br />
rotten uneaten bait. With water<br />
temperatures at a seasonal low,<br />
freezer bait probably won’t pop<br />
up for a week or so, shelf lifes<br />
could sit on the bottom longer.<br />
So my raked and prepared spots<br />
should stay clean and attractive<br />
all winter. A while back on one<br />
particular lake I discovered a<br />
couple of margin spots that had<br />
been filled in with some kind<br />
In the mix -<br />
of particle and pellet mix. Very<br />
little if any of that bait has since<br />
been eaten and it has now gone<br />
seriously off, just out of interest<br />
recently I scooped out some<br />
weed, silt and bait residue from<br />
the area and it smelt absolutely<br />
rancid! The spots are being<br />
regularly fished but I doubt if any<br />
carp will be visiting and feeding<br />
on them – food for thought.<br />
