TIP OF THE MONTH



	Double Cubed Meat

	When there is a lot of fish in your peg and they are feeding hard on meat, a double cube will sort out the biggest fish increasing the overall average and therefore the weight. To create the double cube I unscrew the last wire on the end nearest the lip and cut it off, then when you push your meat through as normal, because of the increased gap, you end up with your normal sized cubes and some double sizes cubed hookbaits. Give it a go when the fish are feeding hard to select the bigger fish.

		Sonubaits F1 Sonubaits F1 is fast becoming my favourite groundbait mix. Its sweet smelling aroma can only be described as highly addictive. A magical flavour that as an angler you know as soon as you open the bag that it is going to catch fish. This is a perfect mix, which is ideally suited to fishing for summer species such as Tench, Bream and Crucians. I like to mix the groundbait the evening before and always add a healthy helping of F1 flavour several times during the mixing process, which has two main advantages. The first giving the groundbait an extra sweet smelling kick, helping to attract fish into the swim to feed. The second being when fish disturb the groundbait as they feed flat spots will appear on the surface of the water showing you exactly where to position your hook bait. I like to use Sonubaits S-Pellets in these situations, which often produce immediate action. [ VIEW LARGER IMAGE >> ]


		Sonubaits Supercrush Green is tops when targeting tench and Crucian carp The months of June and July are great months for targeting summer species such as tench and Crucian carp. These species often visit the margins and I have recently been using a method that is beating traditional float fishing techniques time and time again. Shown to me by big fish man Duncan Charman it involves using a small one and half ounce in line lead combined with a short 4 inch fluorocarbon hook length. Groundbait is molded around the lead, my favourite being Sonubaits Supercrush Green. This is an awesome mix for fishing in this way. After mixing I like to sieve the ground bait removing any lumps. I don’t add any freebees or hook bait samples to the mix as this groundbait has immense pulling power and will pull fish from far and wide. Hook baits are either corn or Sonubaits 8mm S-Pellet hair rigged to a size 16 hook. The trick is to mould the gorundbait around the lead and swing to the bottom of the marginal shelf. Recasting every 30 minutes will help build up a bed of bait that tench and Crucians will find hard to resist. [ VIEW LARGER IMAGE >> ]


		PVA bags on the Hair - Duncan Charman This little trick was noticed whilst working with Colin Davidson last winter. If there is anyone out there that can fool a clued up carp then this guy is up there with the best, and unbeknown to him every little trick he had up his sleeve was noted and placed in the back of my brain, ready to be used when the time seemed right. Any lake that’s pressure has to be approached with total confidence when it comes to rigs and bait and Cemex Frimley is one such place. These carp have seen it all so concealing your end tackle is crucial if you want to get a result. Frimley’s carp are very visual so l knew that l needed a tactic where l could cast at showing fish. The answer was to make up tiny PVA bags of Sonubaits Stick Mix and thread these onto my hair before securing a small 14mm boilie. Making the bags are easy but if you make these bags really tight then you will be left with a very long hair. I love long hairs but on pressured water it’s always in the back of my mind that a fish can inspect a bait without getting pricked. So in order to keep the hair fairly short l made the bags up so l could compress them in the centre with my fingers allowing them to be placed on the hair followed by my hookbait but still managing to keep the hair quite short. Testing the presentation in the margins created a perfect concealed area around the small Korum S3 size 14 hook. I matched the lakes bottom with 10lb Gardner Sly Skin in camo brown, used a small running lead plus a short leadcore leader, which pinned everything down and certainly outwitted this clued up carp.

		Prawns in PVA If you want to place moist items within a PVA bag like prawns, corn, fish pieces or even worms then the best way to do this is to give each offering a good dusting of dry groundbait. Not only does this dry the bait off allowing a few more seconds to cast out but also introduces loads of extra fish meal attractants around your bait. Its also worth dusting your hookbait as its this that normally will dissolve your bag as it hangs next to it. I like to use a fine groundbait, Sonubaits Supercrush Green is perfect for bait dusting.
