Post Spawning Edge
I originally developed this product whilst fishing a difficult pit where the carp would follow the bream shoals around after spawning simply gorging themselves on spawn.
It became very difficult to get a take whilst the fish appeared to be preoccupied on spawn so I set about trying to mimic it but at the same time make it stand out much more than the natural spawn already there. After all you could wait a long while to get a take from a cow on a blade of grass couldn't you?
Customised Hook-Baits
Last week I posted a catch report to our website and mentioned that I had caught the fish on an ultra light aerodynamic home made long range pop-up.
This has caused a fair bit of interest with anglers asking me how they can make their own. So here goes…
Everything I used apart from the eggs are available in the Quest Baits range.
20 mm Boilies in the Winter.
It isn't just small tiny baits you will catch on during the cold winter months. During a time when many scale their baits down, it can be a lovely little edge going the opposite way.
Pineapple Crush still proving its worth as a Anti Poisson Chat bait!
Here is yet another message I have received confirming that Poisson Chat really do not like the ingredients we use in our ANTI POISSON CHAT BAIT Pineapple Crush.

Winter Bait Choice is Critical
There was a comment on facebook the other day that I responded to and thought I should add it here too.
Someone asked how important I think bait is.
Bonus Perch Between Carp Feeding Times
Why not have a cast with a lighter rod out of the main feeding times to see what else lurks in the water you are carp fishing? I did and was amazed at my results.
Pre-baiting for barbel and chub
Question:
Hi Shaun,
I fish a small river in Berkshire which holds some very big Chub and Barbel.
Earlier this year I brought several kgs of Rahja Spice 10 mm to feed and some 15 mm as hook baits, I also purchased a few pots of you paste and dip.
The question is Shaun, what is the best way to approach barbel with this type of bait?
I have pre-baited a couple of kilos in three swims, should I be using pellet as well?
One thing I have noticed is the paste is a bit dry, how can i make it a bit more tacky, I think the chub love and just pulling it off how ever i mount it.
Cheers
Steve
Shaun’s Diary – Part 4 Another Bank Holiday – Spent on the Bank!

Saturday 30th April – Another Bank Holiday week-end.
At one time Bank Holidays meant only one thing for me – get out on the bank! This bank holiday had an extra day tagged onto it for the Royal wedding giving us from the Thursday to the following Tuesday with most factories closed here in the U.K.
This morning I rose at ‘silly o’clock’ and drove my way back over to Grenville. I really do have the bug for it at the moment despite knowing it was going to be busy but with a few due to leave this morning I would at least get the option of somewhere to angle.
