wilf, thats what i usually fish with....either that or meat but the little fish take any corn before it has sunk to the bottom. even with a big plummet on they still swim down to pick it up. same with the meat. they keep picking away at it till theres only a small peice left on the hook and so ye still catch one! boilies and big pellets seem the only things they dont touch.

i use dog biscuits, bread, very very rare to use a boilie, it just doesnt feel quite right, but aghh just thought that might be why my biggest is 12lb!!

I`m NO crafty carper, but i do well in the places i fish, if you drop me a PM about the type of place your fishing and the time of year, i will have a look back and scout through my mix book, let you know what worked for me

only just re read this thread, sorry.

 

 

to make a 2lb mix this is what i use as a BASE MIX.

 

3/4lb soya flour costs about 60p

3/4lb milk powder costs about 90p

just under 1/2lb of semilina costs about 50p

4 good size table spoons of egg albumin (powered egg) costs about 30p

4 good sized eggs

1/8 pint of milk

 

 

all your have to do then is add your flavours, you dont need to buy the expensive shop bought ones. look in places like bakers, tescos jst be willing to try differant things and give the fish time to get on to eating them.

 

my best cheap allteritive is to make up the above mix but replace the semolina for ground up trout pellet, makes a very good fishmeal boilie. its all about trying things and as long as there safe for the fish wheres the harm? As for tiger nuts, well they have been the death of many a carp round this way because they wernt prepared properly and caused the fish to die, as did peanuts so be respecfull of the fish at all times.

 

the ones I had good succes on in the past was home made chocolait and caramel cream with a hint of curry
