An attractive primer is the key to success
The equipment for the carnivorous is ready, and a promising post is not far. The only thing we are missing is live fish. Roach and similar prey are scarce at this time of the year, so bleak are the easiest to catch.
Choosing an attractive leader for these nervous little whites is the key to catching them quickly. It is very important that the bait bursts on the surface of the water to form an attractive cloud that stays in the top layer of water for a long time.
Two different preparations
A commercially available groundbait that fits best is the 3,000 surface from Sensas. Personally, for baits numbed by cold water, I add a teaspoon per kilo of Concentrix Vanilla flavoring of the same brand. Then, I have two possibilities to prepare the mixture. The first is to add a large amount of water to achieve an almost liquid consistency, but which nevertheless allows the mixture to be picked up in the hand and thrown on the post. The advantage of this preparation is a primer that immediately forms clouds in the water. However, the accuracy of the cast is quite rough for an inexperienced angler.
The alternative is a classic preparation with a limited amount of water to allow the making of small balls of groundbait with three fingers of one hand. It is then important to sift the mixture well to eliminate lumps that prevent the primer from dissolving quickly in the water.
As soon as the bait is ready, the bleak are brought to the station. To hold them, it is essential to recall continuously with small quantities of bait. With the help of a rod equipped with a floating line with long banner, it is then possible to catch a good number of bleak in a short time. When you also bait a few pinkies and maggots on the spot, you can achieve a fast fishing rhythm.
Finally, one more tip. In turbid waters, you should dye the leader with a red dye. This color makes the leader very visible and the bleak will have no trouble noticing it and finding it./p>
A three-step preparation
Ingredients: 2 kilos of Sensas 3,000 surface bait, 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Concentrix.
For inexperienced anglers, add a small amount of water to the groundbait first and mix well to obtain a homogeneous consistency that allows the making of small balls of groundbait.
Then sift the starter to remove lumps and check for consistency. Add more water if you feel it is missing.
For experienced anglers, mix the groundbait with a large amount of water to obtain a sort of puree that still allows hand casting. Then run this mixture through your hands to remove any lumps. When this mixture becomes too thick, add more water.
