Markcw rightly jokes and takes me to task about the amount and variety of bait I take with me. I am like the fish I try to catch, gullible and swallow the bait!
I now have a take away container full of assorted pellets, boilies, wafters, pop ups etc etc which I replenish from a hoard from time to time. The last couple of trips produced lots of different fish but not those I sought. Maggots are finè and will catch almost anything that swims but I wanted tench. I tried the full range from the container and eventually procured a bite on an 8mm sonubaits pineapple boilie put on a hair. In two trips these boilies have produced over a dozen carp when all else failed. I have no idea why!
This must be a common occurrence and brings me back to Whitty's post in HDYGO about all the conditions being right save fôr the fîsh. Do fish simply want a change because I have never consistently caught using one bait save for maggot.
Is that why it's called fishing and not catching.
