Hi Kevin
At the moment I'm using a mix of Van den Eynde Hi Pro Carp and Dynamite Baits Swim Stim Amino Black. 1/3 Amino Black to 2/3 Hi Pro. To be honest I use the Hi Pro cos its cheap and nicely sticky so any reasonably priced method mix will do. The Amino Black makes the mix nice and dark and gives it a good whiff.
I'm using corn tipped with red worm on the hook at the moment with 10mm Source boilies as a change bait on the other rod. Add a few samples of the hook bait to your mix.
Another good bait to try is dead maggots. Clean fresh maggots, add some flavour (I like the Source)and put them in a bag in the freezer for 12 hours.
Hope that helps

Skev, do you use boiling water to mix the Vitalin or just cold lake water?

Coarse Fisherman - June - Page 92 - picture of a load of groundbaits.
Nashbaits Coarse Method - does anyone else think this is simply Vitalin? Well, I could be wrong.

Just found a price for Nashbaits Coarse Method Mix groundbait - ?4.99 for 2 kilos. Ouch!
Vitalin is less than ?10 for 15 kilos at our local supplier. - If it's the same, but it's what I would use anyway. Spice it up with a good dollop of molasses from the horse shop - ?5 for 4 litres.

Add some fishmeal as well to smelly it up a bit, again quite cheap if you buy in bulk!

Not much else, that I've seen.
My dogs food is Autarky Summer, about ?15 per 15 kilos, but it would probably need scalding or grinding down a bit first. Full of herbs and spices though.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner Sean, had to get an early night. This is the way i prepare vitalin. Just put your vitalin in a bucket and add enough boiling water to cover it completely. Then leave it to soak for about half an hour. After that you can then add pretty much anything you like. To be honest i don't know whether you can use cold water or not, i've never tried it.

If your going to use Vitalin buy a cheap bottle of liquid molasses from a farm supply shop (about ?4.99 for 3 litres)and add agood dose to sweeeten it up, tench, bream and carp love the stuff.

Going on a prebaiting spree now going to mix the lot in the bath and take a wheelbarrow full down to my chosen swims .
