There are alot of great fish bait recipes on the net. From what I can tell it really depends on what type of fish you are trying to catch as to what kind of bait you would want to make. Here are some great links to fish bait recipes:associatedcontent.com/article/49870/how_... .

Bread with finely chopped luncheon meats such as spam. When I first began carp fishing over 35 years ago I used the most common form of ground bait, which was bread crumbs made from old loaves. For years I used this effectively.

I might add finely chopped luncheon meats and spam each with different fat and meat content and various rates of oil release and solubility’s in water. Then sweetcorn and liquidized sweetcorn were added. Hemp with aniseed oil, or maggots, yeast extract, spices and herbs, condiments and sweeteners from the larder, were added over time to add to the effect.

Each new bit of information gleaned from other anglers or new ingredient found in the kitchen or supermarket was put to good use! I did notice that fish would certainly linger for longer, feed more intensively and competitively and less cautiously the more ground bait I regularly introduced. Most often, the amount of ground bait I could afford for a days fishing was the actual limiting factor in the number of fish I could catch in a day.In those days Where I lived in Essex had few big carp waters and anyway, it was great fun getting great keep nets of fish of many species and learning “the trade” as it were.

The is not much difference between fishing for smaller carp in the double figures and single figures and for fish over 70 pounds as certain waters I’ve fished. Although you can always use tiny dissoluble bags or nets of ground bait next to your hook or even just use over-flavored “single hook baits,” the fact is that huge bags of fish have always been captured due to constant application of the most suitable ground bait for the venue, swim and fishing situation in question. There have been times when baiting with trout pellets and pet food pastes were the only method used.

Others when boilies where used solely. These days carp get to learn all about the free food we anglers provide and are very skilled at isolating hook baits and rigs. Sometimes it seems like once one big fish sorts out the “bad bait,” the rest seem to know by “telepathy,” avoiding hook baits without even testing them!

But I’m sure some of this is to do with their body language, movements in a swim and excretion of pheromones and substances and behaviors we have yet to discover. One big point to make here is that the chemical nature of your bait can be discerned by fish from the dissolved substances impacting upon all its’ receptors as well as by more obvious senses like sight, sound, feel etc.This means that fish can avoid your bait and know if they regard it as having “dangerous previous associations” without ever touching the bait. This has great implications in terms of using new or alternative flavours substances and bait and ground bait ingredients.

(Why keep flogging a “dead or nearly dead horse” when you can find a “race winner” with a little research!? )When fishing for big catfish I do not fish live baits as that’s for sadists. There are so many diverse species of catfish with different feeding habits and quite a number reach 40 or 50 pounds or far more.

The use of ground baits in cat fishing cannot be underestimated! If your species of catfish spend their time in the top layers of water ambushing their prey, why not exploit ground baits to concentrate their prey in your swim? Soon you will have the pick of the biggest catfish in the lake!

You can even adapt your ground baits so they pull into your swim specific species like roach and rudd, tench, small carp and so on. An easy hint here is that many fish seem more able to detect certain bait flavors with a different pH and are even labeled as such like “Bream Attractor” or “Roach Attractor” etc. Hemp with aniseed oil has always been a favorite, although if you want carp, then fennel oil is even more effective and little used. Flavoring and dying sweetcorn and tiger nuts for instance is only the start of what you can do with these legendary baits.

1 There used to be some really experienced fishermen and women in AV. I suspect you could get some good answers to your Q. But, I would recommend next time using the "Fishing" topic for your Q.

2 dcnr.state.pa.us/stateParks/parks/keysto... The 78-acre Keystone Lake has warm water and cold water fishing, with trout stockings throughout the year. Warm-water fish are largemouth bass, tiger muskellunge, northern pike, black crappie, yellow perch, carp and brown bullhead catfish. A fishing area by the spillway is ADA accessible.

Fishing is prohibited at the beach, and boat launching and mooring areas. Abandoned mine drainage limits the fishing quality in the stream below the breast of the dam. Keystone Lake is a Big Bass Lake and special regulations apply.

All Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission rules and regulations apply. Fishing licenses are available at nearby issuing agents. For complete information on fishing rules and regulations in Pennsylvania, visit the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Web site.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have never fished this lake. I fish in a big deep lake further north. I enjoy fishing for bass with lures.My fishing buddy uses a fly rod.

He also uses bait lines with nightcrawlers, minnows and hellgrammites (I'm too chicken to fish with the latter). We catch perch, northern pike, and a few other species too. I have never gone fishing for lake trout in the deeper water.

Have a great time, whatever you decide to "cook up". Personally, if you and I were going out fishing, I'd prefer to stick to the traditional bait options and suggest your focus on homemade recipes turn more to chocolate chip cookie recipes than to bait... :) .

It seems impossible to catch them. They just grab the bait and run. " "An odd question and sorry if I sound like an idiot for asking, but do gummy worms really work for fishing bait?" "What kind of rod is best for Lake Fishing?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
