Itching to get out on the bank but cant because of the snow and ice? Are thoughts of carp increasingly filling you daydreams?………..ME TOO!
Well you can keep yourself focused and sane by preparing some of your baits for spring right now. I like to begin glugging/and oiling my pellets now ready for when those temperatures rise. This way when spring does arrive they are full of attractant, will have a longer breakdown time releasing flavor for longer and will have that extra edge when trying to draw fish into the swim. In addition to this when fish do enter the swim and start feeding the oil from the pellets will be disturbed, and the surface of the water will develop flat spots as the oil rises to the subsurface water layers. This is a great watercraft tip as you know fish are in the swim and feeding near your bait.
Many of the USA water I fish have a big head of crayfish and crabs. These nuisance creatures can easily take boilies off the hair without you even knowing about it. By soaking up your bottom baits in liquid attractants it will make the baits rock hard, and hopefully keep a bait on the rig if crayfish are present.
Now go get some bait and liquid attractant and get your hands messy. Spring is only a couple of months away!!!
