[Big Rik]

I once fished an overstocked, dug out farm pond too and managed to catch on a bare hook, so does that make nothing a good bait?

 

[tony70]

no i guess its all trial and error to find what they want

 

[Frothey]

they wont have seen it before rik

 

[tony70]

I have heard prawns are a good carp bait.. the only problem with them is, if youre using defrosted ones, its almost impossible to fish them at range with a pva bag, cuz the dampness of the prawn just desolves the bag quicker than you can cast it.. it might be worth a go float fishing them perhaps.. or at range, if you can overcome the problem..

 

[Merv Harrison]

Okay if used in a prawn 'cocktail'.

 

[Frothey]

just put some dry groundbait in the bag with them. or let them dry out first!

I used them once but just kept catching eels or getting a single bleep and something stripped them off the hair.

I beleve Rod Hutchinson had a few out of savay on them but couldnt put up with the stink in his van.

 

[Frothey]

thats redmire you're thinking of.....and he only caught eels
