doc0374 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 what do you do when the state law will not allow you to bait the swim and the use of corn is illegal. Any advice about my situation. It has me frustrated in Colorado springs the fish are here but the law allows limits my rods to a maximum of two with a rod stamp. doc0374 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leggs007 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Don't get caught you could use ground bait round a method feeder and just cast often to get a bed of bait down,if no one watching you could also catapult it in,are you allowed to use bait boats?

buzzbomb Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 No means no! Ha ha no pva no catty no frozen icecubes with particle frozen in them. What I'd try is asking a warden if you can use a feeder cage with holes too small for anything to get through. Then you aren't leaving anything in the water and you still may attract fish with the scent of whatever bait you put inside, (luncheon meat, sardines, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairwig Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would use boilies or pellets on the hair and large, pungent method on a feeder. Honestly though, who would know your baiting up or what your doing? Be happy they let you fish with two rods as we can only use one here unless it's on a boat, Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobleyn Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Buzzbomb- Just got back from BC and I'm surprised if anyone pre-baits at all over there- jeez- talk about expensive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggs007 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 You could try some Korda goo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I take it you can only have the bait on your hook? If that's the case, try using various paste mixtures starting with a crumb type bait (fast break down) then try something stiffer on the hook. By fishing one day using a fast break-down bait for a couple of hours to see what is what Then maybe try something stiffer on a hair, but be careful because the hair can sometimes act like a cheeswire and pull out of the bait. Bread can be used in a variety of ways; liquidised it can be formed into a ball and put on the hook; the only trouble is it breaks down quite quickly Fishing with two rods means that you can fish something on the hook that you know will be there and use the other rod wih a bait that might not last very long near to it , that way you know you will have a working bait.

garysj01 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Try a blend of luncheon meat, cornflour and marmite, for a paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggs007 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 you could also glug some artificial baits,worms,prawns cockles etc,if your not allowed to bait up i think worms would be my first choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillfactor Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Don't get caught This would be my approach I must admit... get there early bait the swim then fish over the top of it for the day. make sure you chuck it all in so if you get checked you only have your hookbait on you. I should think you would only have to do it a hand full of times to bring fish to your chosen area then fade it out and become a law abiding citizen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garysj01 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 you could soak your leads, braided hooklink material in a liquid attractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Possibilities are everywhere - drill holes in a pill bottle (+ 2 small ones in cap and bottom to thread your line through) and enclose a dense piece of sponge with some sort of attractant in it. Fish with that inline above your rig and you might be allright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 The one i have seen is using the fabric plasters moulded round a lead then soaked in what ever you want, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfinney Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 hi Doc, I fish and live here locally in the Colorado Springs area. I use a packbait of panko/creamed corn etc, around the hookbait - sometimes around the lead - works well here. Yes, the no chumming law frustrating - just have to find alternate ways of getting your bait & attractant out there ! I know some who follow the "don't get caught" approach - works for them.

ianain Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Does the same restriction apply to ducks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnfinney Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The other week I was down at Prospect Lake, Memorial Park, downtown here in Colorado Springs. There are many signs posted around the perimeter of the lake requesting people not to feed the ducks & geese. A family was sitting by one sign, with a huge flock of ducks, geese, as they fed them merrily by the sign - hell, they even took a picture of themselves next to lake, sign nearby !!!

gmubeach Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Its funny the law is there to protect the trout and other fish.... We have a season where chumming isn't allowed ....My advice is to do what we do. Have you seen when you make the popcorn lines for christmas... well use corn and mono at the end put a hook.
