Krill Luncheon Meat - A BAIT HACK!

Everyone has their own variation when it comes to preparing meat for fishing but this how I often like to do it.

 
Crucians are my target tomorrow, and preferring relatively small cuts for this, I have diced my meat into 6mm and 8mm cubes. You can go as small as you want, even passing the meat through a cutter twice to produce random size off cuts, but with other species about tomorrow I want to avoid in the pursuit of my target, I prefer my meat to be around 8mm.

The next step is to put your diced meat in a riddle or sieve and either pour a kettle over it, or as I do, run under a boiling water tap. The purpose of this is to wash out the meat and remove excess fat enabling the meat to sink more consistently and it also makes it a much less messy bait to fish with.

I then like to add a slight glug of Krill Liquid, you don't need much and can use whatever flavour you want. Give the bag a good shake to spread evenly across the meat. 

Finally, take some groundbait, again of your choice, but in this instance I use Krill Swim Stim. Sprinkle a little groundbait over the meat and you get a neat looking little meat bonbon coated in attractant that will flake off the meat and provide instant added attraction you your bait.

The Kamasan B560 - A Versatile Hook

Image
 In an age where hook technology seems to improve by the day, it's easy to forget about more classic tried and tested patterns. One of the few Kamasan hooks I still use is the B560. With a relatively fine wire and wide gape, micro barbed, swept point, it's a versatile hook with deceptive strength but delicate enough to make a great silverfish hook. It's equally at home with maggots or tares, but what I like most about it is the reliable hook holds I get with these hooks.

Severn Matches vs Pleasure

Image
 I often read along the lines that matches on the Severn produce such big weights, often of Barbel, compared to pleasure anglers, that the match anglers must have some magic ability. Although you could say, I haven't been fishing the Severn for all that long, and don't as yet match fish it, I feel like sharing my thoughts on the matter. Firstly, I have heard it said you can catch Barbel on any peg on the Severn. I don't believe this to be true, and the fish will be where they want to be on the river given certain conditions. There will be flyer pegs on matches. This leads me to my next point, it's also said that there's more pressure on the river in matches, and as a result, the feat of match men is even greater. This is not always true. Often when there's no match on, the river will be just as busy, if not busier on some stretches. Going back to my first point, this fish will hole up in certain spots based on the conditions of the river, and it's not unusua...

I AM EXCITED... about the MAP 15' Parabolix Black Edition Float Rod

Image
 ... and it ain't even my rod! I'm collecting for a friend tomorrow for a great brand new second hand price. As mentioned previously, I have the 13' Light Float. All impressions lead me to believe this is one of the top rods on the market, surpassing the Drennan Acolyte. I'm so enamoured by my Light rod, I'm looking to get a Medium to go with it. Stay tuned for more impressions of the 15' tomorrow. NB. The thing about Acolytes, and I currently own just a 15', is although they're feather light in weight, they're softer in the mid section resulting in a floppier action and slower recovery. We are hoping to go to a section of the Severn near Worcester on Saturday to use said rods side by side.
