Dear All,
If you use groundbait, method feeder whatever, here's a cheap and simple little number for all you DIY'ers.
Buy a 15 kilo bag of Vitalin complete dog food. This costs around ?9 and is available at all good local pet food stores.
Now obtain 7 kilo's of fish meal. I buy Provomi because its available at animal feed suppliers and its of very good quality and cheap. For 20 kilo's its around ?20.
Then obtain 6 kilo's of crushed hemp. You can buy this in bulk or in smaller quantities from good tackle shops. In bulk from Haiths of Cleathorpes.
Now then. Put the whole bag of Vitalin through a food blender in stages unless you have the biggest blender in the world. This process takes about half an hour. Blend until the Vitalin is chopped down quite well. Trial and error here to obtain the right consistency.
Tip into a plastic dustbin or similar large container. Add the Fish Meal and Crushed Hemp. Using either ones hands, or a plastic scoop, mix the lot in together.
The Vitalin contains freeze dried or rolled, Oats, Wheat, Sweetcorn, Soya Beans, Dried Meat Juices and Dried Marrowbone with vitamins and minerals. Once blended down, it has its own natural binders. On its own, it attracts all feeding fish. The Fish Meal makes it even more attractive and the Crushed Hemp gives it its fizzing quality.
I make mine up ready for use before leaving home using tap water. To this water I add before mixing the following to mix arond 3 kilo's of groundbait;
Three quarters of a pint of water. To this I add;
3 Teaspoons of Shrimp Paste available from Tesco's for around ?1.60 a tub.
2 Dessertspoons of "Blue Draggon" Fish Source for around ?1.50 a bottle.
Both from Tesco's in the oriental cooking section. These products are concentrated and once in the finished groundbait pong somewhat.
There you have it. A brilliant groundbait for all sorts of applications that work equally well for both Summer and Winter fishing for all species alike.
But there's more.
If one is long range fishing for say carp or bream, try this tip.
Mix up the groundbait as described. Fill a bait gun and compress. The groundbait will not come out if a small nozzle is fitted. Once compressed, screw off the nozzle head and squeeze ot the compressed sausage. Now cut into large pellet sized pieces. These are then ready to catapult out increadible distances.
Bang on.
Regards,
Lee.
