Super black and grey leam as the binder for chopped worm fishing with a few flouro pinkies added was my go to winter mix for the Bridgewater and Trent and Mersey Canals back in the day
Brilliant info very infornative for fishing when its really tough got match this weekend on canal will be taking your advise on board Reg l very little feed content and scents Would you fish bread crumb rather than liquidised?
Hi Gary, Thank you :-). Just sat down with a brew. For me I don't like to use liquidised bread on a canal, I don't think it's fine enough. Yes I know you can bulk it out with crumb but no it's not for me. On a river carry extra water if I'm pleasure fishing for chub and the like absolutey liquidised bread. I suppose the question is why. Bread crumb is so fine that you can get it to do all maner of things in the water, like a nice visual cloud with lots of little particles falling though the water, that then lay on the bottom. Fingers crossed there are fish about, with the particles being so small hopefully they'll sift through the crumb trying to find that bigger bit. That bit needs to be your hook bait not a bit of liquised bread. I also think theres a strong chance that liquidised will bloat fish as well bit like it does us. Half the time we're fishing for blades on a canal even more so in the cold conditions. Another thought is a fishes sence of smell is effectively taste so they suck in anything they think is food. Hopefully they suck in the fine particles of crumb and realise Oh this is food i need food to survive. I need more where is it. Big subject that really fastenates me, need to do a video on this don't I. Final note. Going back to visual / smell / taste The chip shop, we can smell a chippy from miles away that smell on the air makes you hungry. Same for fish :-) Water soluable scents / flavours. Oh one final thing Bread crumb in coloured waters yes 100%. Can't understand why some people say (ooh can't use bread today with the water like tea! what the ....) Have a good un at weekend :-) Scott
