So why do barbel seem to like boilies and such, flavoured with sea fish flavours? , for instance sardine and anchovy , monster crab , mussel squid cod liver oil etc ? Also how predatory are barbel I know they do eat other fish , well I have been told that anyway never actually seen it , and if so how much of their diet is live fish , % wise , I suppose conditions may influence certain areas on different rivers , but how reliant are they on this type of food?
If you could get a readily supply of freshwater fish,like they do from the sea would you catch on minnow and roach flavoured boilies if you catch my drift .
Just curious if anybody has answers cheers Rick.
