Wandering around Morrisons last week looking for something different to try as a bait and I came across Dolly Mixtures at 39p a bag.....
Went out this morning for a few hours and as it was quiet on the normal baits I baited up with two of the little yellow jobbies on a hair(the colour eventually disappears!)and in 15 mins hooked and landed a 17.5lb mirror carp in very nice condition.Despite trying for several hours using the other various coloured shapes I failed to get another bite.......(maybe a better summer bait??)
The smell is quite strong-something similar to vanilla-and they are very sweet-I tried one-so they seem to have a lot to offer as a bait.....
Definitely not new as a bait but worth a try if all else fails..........................
Out of interest I checked the water temperature and found a rise of 6 degrees F since last Wednesday-same spot and same depth......(now 54 degrees!)
