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!
