THE EXPERT’S VIEW

HARRY WAYE-BARKER

RECENTLY I’ve had success with a couple of tricks to enhance and activate my free offerings before fishing. Any extra edge during the summer will help to put a few more fish on the bank.

I’ve always been a big fan of getting my freezer baits out of the freezer a couple of days before a session. That way, all the active ingredients in the bait are working fully by the time I reach the lake. As the baits are thawing out, I like to use that old-time favourite ‘LO30’. However, now I use the brilliant Tuna LO30 from CC Moore.

This complements my Pacific Tuna freezer bait perfectly and builds on the already powerful food signals the bait gives off.

I keep the fish guessing by using lots of different size boilies (10mm, 15mm and 18mm) as I feel this can cause enough confusion to get you a bite. Picking up the different shapes and sizes means that the fish don’t become accustomed to the weight and feel of any particular free offering.

Give it a try, I’m a big believer!

While the freezer baits are thawing out I add some of the new CC Moore Tuna LO30 for added attraction.

Mixing up 10mm, 15mm and 18mm boilies means the fish don’t associate any one size with danger, and will happily browse over them all.
