In my opinion there is no better way of achieving both attraction and a feeding response than using carefully prepared groundbait – or ‘carpet feed’ as it seems to get called these days.
This is a completely different scenario to what I see the vast majority of anglers doing. I still loose feed boilies and fish with boilies as hookbaits as usual – but I believe baiting up with groundbait as well gives me a massive edge.
I guess many of us are lazy by inclination, if you offer us an easy option then we tend to take it and nowhere is this more obvious in the way many people approach baiting up.
Take a bag of boilies with you, shelf-life or frozen, out goes the marker float, out go the freebies with a catapult and out goes the rig. Buzzers on, you sit back, maybe open a can of liquid refreshment and wait.
Sounds familiar?
But this is a baiting scenario carp are presented with time and time again. Hey, don’t get me wrong I’ve done this too and I’ve caught but I’ll tell you one thing for definite, if you can be bothered to make the effort and work harder at baiting up and being different to everyone else you will catch much more and you will catch bigger fish too.
