Big moon - big fish?

We need the peanut master back that man could fill pages on angling with peanuts, alright guy as well put me on the nene valley i very nearly joined castle ashby this year.

Moved to another peg now tho where I seen the fish activity last night and this morning

I'll be adding a handful or two of tigers to my mix on Tuesday... just so there's an extra option for a change bait...

Those dynamite jar/tins are a complete rip-off though so I'd recommend buying your peanuts from an online bait distributor. For example; 500ml of Dynamite Frenzied Peanuts (a significant portion being liquid rather than actual peanuts) - £5 5kg of prepared peanuts from AA Baits (other distributors are available) - £12

If I run out of the good oil I use what ever is in the kitchen normally Sainsbury’s sunflower oil I use a little to coat my mixers helps to give them a flat spot if theirs a ripple on the water easier to see them and a little in the spod mix which gives a flat spot when fish are feeding over the mix … But I only use the oil in the warmer months.

Thanks Greekskii , and Emmcee . As you say , whatever I decide use Peanuts sparingly . On one lake all nuts and pulses are banned , but on another I occasionally fish you are allowed to use properly prepared particles ; I just better not use them where they are banned if it leaves an oil slick like the Torrey Canyon ! . 😁

Hi Carpbell I guess you couldn't make it to The Northern Carp Show where there were probably Bivvies on display ? . Angling Direct usually have the space to display , but not necessarily the brands you are interested in 😔.

They used to do these years ago and they were so oily. So for me personally I'd wait for the water to warm up a bit first. First time I used the dynamite peanuts was on an 11 acre lake on a windy spring day. I was on the back of the wind and my 2 handfuls of nuts literally flattend the entire lake due to the oil. Once the fish get on them though they can be devastating.

The good hemp oil is good. I’ve used it in the past. If my memory serves me correctly the sticky hemp oil has a green tinge to it and you get a bit of “gunk” in the bottom. Whereas the good hemp doesn’t have either. Hence they are two different qualities entirely. Not sure if the fish will ever know the difference but for me personally the one produced for humans is cheaper. There’s a few more out there, pain to find on Google as you get hits for CBD oil mostly and they mainly are more expensive than sticky hemp oil tbh.

You can use them now. Use them sparingly. Might be worth getting yourself some peanut granules or crushed peanuts so you can fish over mainly crushed and a few whole, but like most tend to do with tigers. the dynamite jars are fairly pricey so you don’t want to be using a handful around each rod every time. I’ve got a few handfuls and some crushed in my baiting mix at the moment. Prepared myself I may add to keep costs down.

Pimped my old match platform for the trip and turned it into a 3 wheeler so I can load everything for 1 trip

Don't pay carp tax mate, Good hemp oil 500ml Tesco's £6.00.👍
