Wading and Bait Placement.

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

There are many options for accurate baiting and bait presentation. Probably one of the most neglected is wading out your baits to give you that perfect presentation. On 90% of waters this will not be possible, due to depth, silt or wading restrictions, but if it is possible then why not give it a try.23lb 8oz mirror caught on a 20mil shelf life Rahja Spice bait, placed over 6 individual frre offering of the same.

 

On a local lake that I the depths of the waters quantify the use of chest waders. With depths of around 3 to 3 ½ feet, getting in the water in chesties is not a problem.

Prior to this I would have already have done my plumbing work with a marker float to ensure that wading is possible.

Care still has to be taken as there a some large areas of deep silt and weed. I initially take out my landing net handle to use as a prod to ensure that I am not walking into a silt hole or walking off or onto a ledge..

Now there may be some of you that are horrified that that I am disturbing the from the margins and scattering them to the far end of the lake. Most lakes, as with the one that I am talking about, are used to graze cattle etc.

31lbs PB commonIf I were to ask you to come up with the ‘ultimate’ test for a new bait - like Shaun’s B8 - what would it look like? Maybe you would that on one rod alongside your other baits and compare your captures? Maybe you could compare your results with other anglers using other brands of on the lakes you ? Maybe you could it on a lake that had never seen that particular and see what your catch rate was like. All well and good but what about the ultimate test? (more…)

Is bigger always better?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

by Pat Gillett
In today’s modern day (especially and barbel ) there seems to be an ever-growing acceptance that ‘biggest is best’. By this I mean that everything seems to be measured purely by how heavy a weighs and the heavier a weighs the more meritorious the is deemed to be. It is human that we all want to catch the biggest we can but I believe that you should try and put all your into context and not necessarily believe that ‘the biggest is the best’. By doing this you will continue to get more from your and not get blinded by ‘numbers on a scale’. (more…)
