Hello Michael,

Welcome to Fishing Magic.

Particle baits are baits like, Sweetcrom, Maize, Hemp Seed, Tiger Nuts etc etc.

Most should be easily sourced from Tackle shops, and sweetcorn is easily accessibe from Shops and Supermarkets.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They band together in chains to form the stuff from which your life is born. Think of amino acids as Legos for your life.

It's a two-step process: Amino acids get together and form peptides or polypeptides. It is from these groupings that proteins are made. And there's not just one kind of amino acid.

A total of 20 different kinds of amino acids form proteins. The kinds of amino acids determine the shape of the proteins formed. Commonly recognized amino acids include glutamine, glycine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Three of those — phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine — are essential amino acids for humans; the others are isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, and threonine. The essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body; instead, they must be ingested through food.

One of the best-known essential amino acids is tryptophan, which performs several critical functions for people. Tryptophan helps induce normal sleep; helps reduce anxiety, depression, and artery spasm risk; and helps produce a stronger immune system. Tryptophan is perhaps most well-known for its role in producing serotonin, which is what gets all the press at Thanksgiving time for putting you to sleep after the big holiday feast.

Amino acids make up 75% of the human body. They are essential to nearly every bodily function. Every chemical reaction that takes place in your body depends on amino acids and the proteins that they build.

The essential amino acids must be ingested every day. Failure to get enough of even one of the 10 essential amino acids can result in protein degradation. The human body simply does not store amino acids for later use, as it does with fats and starches. You can find amino acids many places in nature. In fact, more than 300 have been found in the natural world, from such diverse sources as microorganisms and meteorites.


Why a water would ban the use of Amino Acids is beyond me.
Perhaps you could ask the Club Chairman as to why they are banned, and then show him this explanation as to Amino Acids, they might just change there minds.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The formation of protein can result in dehydration because water molecules are lost as amino acids combine to form more complex molecules. The body requires 20 different amino acids of which 8 are referred to as essential amino acids which cannot be synthesized by the human body. Animals and plants manufacture proteins which contain these essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids can be synthesized by body but this does not mean they are unimportant, they are, it is just that the body is capable of producing sufficient to meet the demands for growth and tissue repair. It is therefore important that our diet contains appropriate levels of protein.
Essential Amino Acids

There are 8 essential amino acids. These are the amino acids that the body must obtain on a daily basis through the foods we eat. The essential Amino Acids are:
  • lsoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylaianine, Threonine, Tryptophan and Valine
Nonessential Amino Acids

There are 14 nonessential amino acids. These are the amino acids that the body produces itself in the liver through a process known as transamination. Being called nonessential does not mean that these amino acids are unimportant. They form from compounds that are already in the body at a rate that meets the needs of normal growth and tissue repair. The non-essential Amino Acids are:
  • Alanine, Arginine, Asparagine, Aspartic acid, Cysteine, Clutamic acid, Clutamine, Glycine, Histidine*, Proline, Serine and Tyrosine.
*Histidine is essential for babies but not for adults.

That, is without doubt, the funniest ban I have ever heard of, in my life!

You need to go to the next AGM and tell them they are talking absolute cobblers, they should either clarify the rule, or do a bit of research in order to find out what a load of tripe they are talking!

Surely some wires have been crossed somewhere?

Knock up a paste of sugar, salt and starch, then get everybody else flung off for using baits with amino acids in ... a lake to yourself till the AGM!

Whether fish like starch pastes is quite another matter...

unfortunately there are traces of amino acids all over your skin so unless you where gloves all the time it will most likely be still breaking the rules!

I think they are more bothered about high concentrations of amino acids and synthetic amino acids.

some synthetic amino acids can cause problems if digested. although they are called acids they of a relatively neutral and harmless pH.

I love the idea of a great big van with a gas chromatogram/ mass spectrometry lab in the back, trundling round a fishery, analysing samples of everyone's bait.
Anyone need a retired lab tech?

This is unheard of.
That means that you can't use lobworms or any other worms. The americans have made some studies and found that worms have plenty aminoacids, actualy they are full of them.

Michael,

Are you sure you're not being wound up by fellow club members?

If not your club commitee really need a milky drink and a long nap!
