This is purely out of curiosity as I don’t generally pre-bait as a rule in this context, mainly because the type of fishing I do just doesn’t require it.
I’ve just been watching Paul Young (I know, don’t hold it against me I was desperate mg in Ireland and they pre-baited a swim for a bream session the following day… Now I know Ireland has a long history of huge bream and roach shoals especially on the Erne system where they were filming but I counted at least five bags of groundbait, what looked like around four pints of casters, maggots, a good half a kilo of dendras and some vanilla flavoured corn.
In other words the thick end of fifty quids worth of bait, if not a little more and there must have been nearly half as much again for use during the session the following day.
I will sometimes spend a little over twenty quid for a session and feel like I’ve blown my brains out when I leave the tackle shop, sometimes just the cost of a farmhouse loaf or tin of meat from the supermarket but those sorts of figures are way out of my league.
For the guys that pre-bait what do you reckon is the cost of what you’re chucking in?
