That are said to have crucian carp.

It`s been 40 years but here is my tip-Birds custard powder and plain flour mixed to a paste.

I wonder-and I was only 15-but I`m going to try it again

I believe it was Peter Stone that used to swear by mashed bread and custard powder for big roach, still works well today. Good luck with the crucians.

The secret to secret baits is

Tell me-in the 70`s I used to go out with some folk who considered themselves `specimen hunters`

As dawn broke I might have had the odd chub,barbel or even a carp and eel depending where we were fishing.

Some nets were empty-so secret were their baits no fish had ever heard of them/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

Another secret bait for Crunchie,s from the 80,s me and my mates used at Cusworth park near Donny was Cheese triangles,it is super soft so as you can guess was only fished under the rod tip.

A small lump broken off with <u>WET</u> fingers and a 14 hook pushed in was gently swung out and fished at dead depth absolutely deadly.

sounds just like how paste anglers use paste nowadays

My sons not so secret bait last year was maltesers, he reckons the carp were fighting to get them.

Ive used Maltesers before and there great pop ups for the first 20 mins then the water gets inside and they turn into a slow sinking bait that eventually turns into a hollow ball of chocolate. They are great for fishing over silt.

My son was using them on the top, and were taken in preference to Chum mixers
