4 Easy Baiting Techniques To Improve Your CATCH RATE

Описание: I’m going to share 4 baiting tactics that I use during a week session using particle, pellets and boilies.

This is my second spring fishing session at Beausoleil and in this video, I’m going to talk about how I apply bait to catch carp. There are many different baiting techniques and the trick is to know what technique to use when. Your first baiting tactic should always be to start with small traps of bait to get the first bite. The next tactic to use is what I call Pacman baiting where you dot your baits in a line, 10 baits one way, 10 baits the other way, to force the carp to move from bait to bait. It’s a very effective technique to target carp in the margins. Then you can start applying particle. I use a mix of whole wheat and cracked corn (maïs concassé), with salt, spices and garlic. When you use particle for baiting, it’s really useful to know whether the carp are eating it or not, how much and where. In a clear lake, that’s relatively easy to do but on a cloudy lake like Beausoleil, it’s much harder. I’ve developed my own technique to check whether the carp have eaten or not. I use a 4 ft piece of tube and I use it to suck up the lake bottom and I can see whether there are any bits of particle left.

It’s actually the first time in 10 years I’m fishing with particle at Beausoleil and it’s been very successful. I think that’s partly down to rigs. A supple braided double bottom bait rig like the one I use when boilie fishing isn’t the best. The mono D rig and the multi rig popup have done very well over particle because they are robust, they can be kicked around by the carp and they can re-set.

Time of year for particle fishing is an important factor. We’re in April right now, the oxygen levels in the lake are very good. Oxygen levels decrease as water temperatures increase so in the summer, the oxygen levels are lower so it’s not a good idea to pile a lot of bait in the lake.

The objective of the baiting strategy is to get the carp to make a mistake. A great tactic for doing that is what I call a multi trap. You can do it with a bait boat or rowing boat and with boilies, pellets or particle. You take a scoop of your mix and pour it off on your spot, and do it again 4,5 or even 10 times. They’re all identical traps and in one of them, you’re going to place your rig. The carp are going to come along, discover a trap at a time, move to the next one. With this baiting strategy, you build the carp’s confidence step by step. Fishing with particle en masse is a very effective strategy, but don’t think it’s the magic bullet to catch loads of carp. If you can’t catch them over small traps or a spread of baits, piling a lot of particle is not going to help.

For Beausoleil, I am going to continue to recommend using boilie and pellets for your baiting strategy, especially if it’s your first trip to the venue.
