Another very interesting read Christian. Don't you use a roller on the microwaved bread prior to placing in a plastic bag?

I don't Jerry, but it sounds like a refinement... cheers bud! Microwaving certainly improves the texture. I have a few slices of decent white bread in the freezer for a boxing day session for roach. I hope it is ok for punching when it defrosts
I hope the microwave does its buisiness! I shall roll a slice to compare for good measure!

I think it's probably a matter of preference Christian, I've always rolled mine and believe it makes the bread better, some of my friends believe the opposite - so long as we all catch..........

PS I'm not sure that I would venture out in such freezing conditions too many times these days, in the words of Fred J 'I'll be pleased when I'm too old for this ******* lark' (or similar)

Odd isn't it...I've never done anything to my punch bread. I prefer a very fresh loaf & change each slice when it start to dry out. I've never felt the need to do anything different...though I did like a bit of ****ie Carrs "Draw" Roach Attractor [remember that & him] in the crumb.

Great article. Almost (but not quite) inspired me to brave the elements myself, but its chucking it down here. Brrrr. Good advice about core temperature though

Your right there Skip, the bread flake hook bait has more than an enough apeal...... Its the bread crumb I like to add the roach additive - its one by vanden eynde, either roach or aniseed. Both are probably the same thing and I suspect contain a high proportion of ground fennel seeds! Probaly very similar to ****ie Carrs 'Draw' roach attractor.

"Draw" was a liquid whch [to me] smelled of strawberries. Whether it made a blind bit of difference I dont know but I felt more confident with it...if only that it masked any nasty smells on my hands. I'm never happier than when I've got a bit of bread on. Catch you anything.

"I have always found that if you can maintain a stable core body temperature, the rest of your body will stay far more comfortable. In fact, if you get it right, I have been known to regularly fish for hours on end in nothing more than a pair of shorts with little or no discomfort in heavy snow storms."
