Prussian carp groundbait for cold water (winter / early spring)

Ingredients

• 500 g fine brown breadcrumb
• 300 g molehill soil or “terre de rivière” groundbait
• 50 g biscuits
• maggots or bloodworm as particles
• a little water; no strong sweet flavours

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the breadcrumb with the soil and biscuits; dampen it just enough to hold in a small feeder.

2. 2

   Feed sparingly: 4-5 feeders at the start, then only when bites are rare.

3. 3

   Small bait: 1-2 maggots, size 16-18 hook, a long 0.08-0.10 mm hooklength (80-100 cm).

Tips

• In winter, look for the deepest water and the warmest hours (11-15).
