I love how you give the fish healthy stuff.

One of my great joys of fishing is finding things in the supermarket to try. I made boilies at a fraction if the cost that work on the waters I fish. It also add another dimension to my hobbies where I don't necessarily have to be bankside to enjoy my fishing.

Brilliant little video joe ! it's got me thinking i've probably got lazy with my fishing. We used to use a sprinkle of vanilla and red food dye in our groundbait. Turmeric in maggots like you've suggested, this actually came about due to the bronze additive getting banned because of negative health effects. Digestive biscuits crushed and mixed in with groundbait. Thanks for another thought-provoking video 👍🐟🐟🐟

What's intriguing about additives is whether or not they last in water or just get washed off, which begs the question just how acute is the olfactory system of fish. Well, supposedly eels and sharks can detect minute amounts of blood in water, so maybe we over do the additives, 'coz it smells good to us humans? Would worm extract, for example, not be the best as it is so much more natural to fish? Bloodworm additives too would make a lot of sense. Probably, the thing to research in terms or liquids and sprays is to find ones that can be proven to cling to the bait in water? When it comes to chub fishing Joe, I can recommend garlic sausage, and meat in general, as they have the flavour 'built in' so to speak...oh and cheese paste too! Tight lines buddy! You've come a long way since that first feature we did together many moons ago.

Good morning Joe. another interesting and enjoyable film and I really look forward to your films appearing.Can I ask you a question please?.I fish theTrent a bit for Barbel but your chub films have inspired me to try to beat my best chub of 5ib 8oz. i used your new cheesepaste mix on Monday but unfortunately never had a bite but only the first trip.I also made the cake mix not to avoid weed but more to balance the weight of the hook. I found on the retrieve that the cake was still on a size 6 hook but the cheesepaste had come off.Do you think was just the flow as the mix is about right I feel. Also I had decieded not to add garlic could I thaw the cheesepaste and add garlic now.? Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated thanks Mark. PS I also fish a syndicate carp water for big roach 2ib and upwards if you ever fancy a try?

@MatchFishingFilms

5 ай бұрын

Great to hear you’re giving it a try. It has been mild so the cheese will naturally melt slightly in the water. If you retrieve carefully you should feel it come off. That’s how it should be so you miss less bites 👍🏻 I wouldn’t worry too much about the garlic I’ve given it a miss on this years recipe and caught plenty. I do find cheese paste works much better in colder coloured water and it’s been exceptionally mild of late. I much prefer boilies when it goes mild these days.
