All-round feeder groundbait (bream, Prussian carp)

Ingredients

• 1 kg breadcrumb (ground biscuit / dry bread)
• 300 g fine cornmeal
• 200 g sunflower meal or seed cake
• 100 g ground sweet biscuits
• 50 g milk powder (optional, clouds the water)
• enough water to bind it lightly
• summer: sweet flavour (vanilla, honey); winter: neutral/salty, with a little garlic

Steps

1. 1

   Mix all the dry ingredients in a bucket.

2. 2

   Add water little by little, stirring; stop when a squeezed handful holds as a ball but crumbles when pressed.

3. 3

   Leave for 10-15 minutes to absorb the water, then pass it through a 4 mm riddle for an even mix.

4. 4

   At the bank, add chopped maggots, sweetcorn or pellets to the portion for the feeder, not to the whole bucket.

Tips

• In current, make the mix wetter and stickier (more cornmeal); in still water, fluffier.
• In winter, small quantities and dark groundbait (molehill soil).
