whats is the most unusual bait

[danfisher]

Im going to try apple cubes next time i go to the lakes and i had a thought "whats the most unusual bait people have used and caught with"

[beanz]

id have to say unflavoured rig foam or fake/glow corn

[danfisher]

one guy told me a haribo sweet because he run out of bait

[russ_29]

i really have caught on a haribo im not claiming it to be a good bait but like i said it was a well stocked pool and fish were feedin amazin where we were fishing

[nostopping]

last summer i used jelly babies but found red one,s where the best, also only worked in summer

I tried a price of almost dry dog poop and the fish seemed to like it as I had 2 runs on it

I have also used an apple for carp feeding. I used the meat punch instead of cubes..did net two carp with the apple in a days session.

Well, I guess poo and runs do go together

Boilies made of skittles, and it never fails to amaze me catching on a bit of cork glued to the hook!

Poop is a very serious bait – occasionally.

 

If your lake has geese on it, and they have a favourite spot on the bank where they embark/disembark, this is the spot that simply MUST be fished in summer immediately after heavy rain. The rain washes goose poop into the lake margins and it is one of the most powerful attractors for carp – but only under these conditions.

 

Fish this spot and you will haul, especially if you use goose poop on the hook.

 

But it only works under these conditions.

 

Not a wind-up

Is that air dried or shelf life??

[bobstains]

a piece of plastic has caught fish in the shape of fake corn

 

Ive heard of matchmen using crisps.

Sounds great. I would of went for that . Can u get sweet and sour boilies? and noodles could look like worms.

[joe_mcmullan]

[newmarket]

I can believe that.....I've seen carp take discarded dog-ends off the top! My favourite used to be sugar puffs and hubba-bubba gum can score no problem.

[russ_29]

fag buts crazy iv seen articles about lake owners moaning about the amount of fag butts on the bank because they can poison the water

[elmovillan]

I'm sure the carp only take some of these things out of curiosity. Using one on a hook is taking it just too far IMO.

How did u make these boilies?

[gnorty]

One sweltering afternoon the carp were all sitting in the top layer, and I had no floating bait with me

 

so I went to the on-site shop to see what flaoting baits they sold, and they had nothing either

 

so, next best was anything that floats, so I picked up a pack of rainbow drops (those sugary puffed rice multicoloured sweets) and the carp loved them! very hard to keep on the hook, as they went soggy immediately, but I got some sport from an otherwise dead session

[chillinuts]

My son gave me a green bouncy ball to use for fishing. I trimmed it down to look like a dog biscuit. It floats great using it with the controller float and i have caught around 10 carp on that and i plan to catch more.

This guy must have talked on the hook.

The ice skating rink in telford has a small lake there not sure if you can fish it, we went on a school trip when i was about 11 and the carp were going mad for clump/marshmellows and orange tango poured into the lake, mad. Dan
