What are your views on the use of particle baits and them being banned by some fisheries? By particles, I mean (obviously) seeds, nuts and pulses!
I been to waters where nuts and pulses (chick peas on this occasion)have been banned, yet seed swere ok?? Is it to do with the biodegradable effect - or lack of it?
With carp in particular, I know they will readily 'suck up' huge quantities of seed and its not going to be left on the bed!! But surely the same would apply to the others? Pulses, I would have thought, would dissolve (is that the correct term?)more quickly than the others, but then why ban them?
Personally, and I don't mean any disrespect to those making the decision, I think its the same old story - that once a particular bait proves successful - it is banned.
Could it be that the people managing said fisheries are limited in their own understanding of the use of such baits? Who knows? I certainly don't!
