elmoputney Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Better to have too much than too little, it might be best to get a lot in now as everything is going up, bait will probably follow ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started driving like a Doris, I was getting 47 mpg before, I'm currently hovering about 58 mpg, I feel dirty driving so steadily but if I get an extra 100 miles out of a tank it's probably worth it 😬 salokcinnodrog, kevtaylor and greekskii 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when I see pots of this and that, bags of this and that from every known bait company, that's when in my opinion its too much. Just stick to one bait, maybe a few different colours of hookbait but that's it.

Carpbell_ll Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 just getting a bait order sorted, going to hold off rolling the JB for now and just get out for next week hopefully, was going to give the mad cow a go but Whacker stop doing them in feb, so i'm going for their peach and pepper in the 5 k deal 2 k pellets and a liquid plus pop ups , also get some matching P&P wafters they are doing them in a cork dust said to be a proper wafter and a litre of their beta stim liquid. other than that i have some JB kit the bio fish and plum his tm1 and the cream, that's more for the summer though i plan on doing my own by then.

elmoputney Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I've done well, I am on my 3rd year using the same bait company now only used 2 baits 😉, i used to change every few kg, I still occasionally look at other deals and torture myself but so far I've not strayed, this year for a change I am going to use both those baits together 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm on Sticky Krill & Sticky Manilla... I use 1 bait on each rod, I've never mixed together 🤔... I've mixed liquids and Goos, but I'm sort of going off the Krill, that's why I've not topped it up as much. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the title, Can you have too much bait?? I'm sure you can. I have wandered around and gone up my own backside; on pop-ups alone at one point I had 12 different types, and only caught on a few of them. I was getting pellets like no tomorrow, bloodworm, Green Lipped Mussel, Betaine, various sizes of koi and some trout pellets. I watched the fish over the Betaine, GLM and Betaine pellets and realised they were an 'oversprayed' basic pellet. There was not a great deal of difference in the interest from the koi pellet. Groundbait, I figured Vitalin pretty much serves all my carp, bream and tench fishing needs, although I can change the mix with those koi pellets, worms, casters, maggots, sweetcorn or a few shaves of papers in or luncheon meat. I have a few boilies 5kg of freezer Rod Hutchinson Infusion 7.5kg (roughly) of Shelf Life Infusion 1 tub of Ballistic B pop-ups in white 1 tub of KMG pop-ups in natural 1 tub of Aniseed and bunspice pop-ups in yellow (to match the maize or corn in Vitalin) 1 tub of Monster Crab in purple to match the Infusion colour or as flavour topper on snowman rigs. 5 hours ago, elmoputney said: I've started driving like a Doris, I was getting 47 mpg before, I'm currently hovering about 58 mpg, I feel dirty driving so steadily but if I get an extra 100 miles out of a tank it's probably worth it 😬 Mate, I know how you feel. The E10 doesn't help, my MPG dropped when that took over from E5. I would normally drive the A14 at around 80 according to my speedometer. Now I'm sticking to 65mph. In 2020 it was 99.9p a litre, now we are up at £1.65 in East Anglia at Supermarkets, higher in Branded stations. £1.69 at Esso last night. I do think I get a few mpg more from branded petrol though which is why I used it, well as well as Nectar points... elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouchthathurt Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I’ve been using the same base mixes and additives for the last 15yrs and the same basemix with different additives since 1997. The flavours haven’t changed much in that time either, started with rod Hutchinson mixed herbs flavour, then richworth blue cheese, then richworth ham (boiled?) then smoked ham flavour from nutrabaits. They work, I’ve massive confidence in my mix, so I don’t see a need to change finchey, emmcee, salokcinnodrog and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nick I was told by a garage to use brands like Esso with their own refineries , rather than supermarkets as the garage said I would get better mpg . Also the supermarkets get their petrol from overseas which has been hot filled into the ships . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year will also be a spodding start for me, I've always got liquids / Goos in my bates... Liquids n powders to pimp freebies, Goos to boost my hookbaits. dalej2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
