Fishing at a local lake recently I had a little success on the first afternoon without too much to mumble about, however as the light faded the fry came out. Now, initially they were rather amusing and attacked anything on the surface with such frenzy that they were almost coming out of the water.
It was only has I prepared to settle in for the night and re-cast my rods with new baits and PVA bags that I suspected that the fry were eating all of the feed that I had put in. It did not dawn on me until about 4a.m that these little pests were in fact eating my hook baits. When I reeled in two of my three rods were without hook bait. From that moment on I felt that I had to check my hook baits every hour or so ? good job too, no baits each time. This continued till lunchtime when out of frustration I packed up.
So I have two questions
1. Are there any baits that would avoid this happening?
2. Are there any ways to prevent fry eating your hook baits?
