Over the last few years it has really become noticable that bait application has a big impact on the fish, their behaviour and how the lake fishes. An ever increasing input from the angler gives the fish lots of choice and different nutrition but there is a different angle to consider. Too much bait eventually leads to the fish picking and choosing when and where they feed, and they will obviously avoid the areas where there is the slightest sign of danger, a line, rig or even a fresh bed of bait can be enough to send the fish elsewhere to feast on last weeks offerings. An accumulation of heavy baiting can be very detrimental to both the fish and the fishing, leaving anglers scratching their heads wondering why they are not getting any action! Its simple, the fish sometimes have too much choice and have eaten too much bait. If you are the unfortunate angler that happens to drop on after someone has thrown in 20kg or so in your swim then it speaks for itself, you will probably struggle.
For 2009 on Juvigny and Vraux there is a 15kg per person total bait limit. This in theory could be made up of 5kg boilies, 5kg pellet, 5kg particle. In certain circumstances when the fish are clearly competitively feeding and multiple catches are on the agenda more bait will be permitted. Anyone seen to be dissregarding the bait limit will be asked to leave! All serious anglers will understand this decision is aimed at everybodys good interest and I am sure will lead to more productive fishing throughout the season.
All our bait ranges are sourced from the best suppliers, we do not buy cheap inferior products in order to give you the best chance of success and to provide good nutritional value to our prime concern, the Carp.
BOILIES – MARNE VALLEY MATRIX
We only use tried and tested baits which work at the lakes and on the river. For 2008 a new bait has been designed especially for the lakes by one of the leading bait manufacturers. Great results have already been achieved through testing during the 2007 season. MARNE VALLEY MATRIX is set to be a winner and you are strongly recommended to be using it in order to maximise your chance of success. It’s sold in 5kg bags and is air dried without chemical preservation. We recommend you rehydrate the bait with our bait soak on arrival to give it maximum pulling power. You can also consider using tiger nut slime, hemp oil and any other liquid additive. The juices out of our freshly prepared particles are another favourite.
- Boilies per 5kg = 60€
- Pots of pop-ups = 10€ per pot
- Extra hard hookers = 10€ per pot
PARTICLES
All our particles are prepared the day before you arrive so you are always assured freshness. If you need more bait during your stay it will be with you next day at the latest.
