Not having much experience of fishing with bread, I have been researching old threads on this forum and have found lots of great information.
So my first step has been to make my own liccy bread. I bought a loaf of cheap white sliced, dried it for 10 days till it was rock hard and then liquidised it with the crusts.It is now a beautiful soft,dry and very fine powder.
So some questions;
1. To me this looks like regular crumb that you use for groundbait.Is there a difference to how it behaves and feed value ?
2.My mix will not bind at all when dry .It seems that some of you liquidise fresh bread , and the resulting mix can bind by hand. If I use my dry mix, shall I add water on the bank to it in the same way I add water to dry crumb or crumb/layers mash?
3. Everyone seems to freeze liquidised bread after making it. I don’t freeze crumb, so should I freeze my liccy bread ? It seems dry enough that it will keep fresh for ages.
I plan on fishing punch for small roach and skimmers in 7-8 feet of water in a week or 2 when it warms up. I will be bottom fishing a gravel pit which is far from prolific but has a fair head of silvers.So some tips on feeding please, for fishing in winter.
I’m on furlough with time on my hands, so I’m happy to experiment with different formulas etc, and I can store the results. I have a dry garage and a freezer.
Thanks gents
