Catfish And Carp Fishing Secrets Of Outstandingly Productive Big Fish Baits!

Particulate feeding: Many fish naturally filter feed. Carp are an excellent example that use this method and are even termed slow suction feeders, adjusting their gill rakers to most efficiently sieve the most abundant and nutritious natural food items like blood worms and water fleas etc. In the case of smaller hook baits and ground baits which consist of smaller items of ingredients such as crushed dried shrimps and fly larvae, small seeds and crushed nuts etc, fish can be easier to catch using these. The use of micro sized pellets or mixed sizes of pellets or crushed boilies mimic in many ways natural food carp feed on most efficiently for much of the time.

Bait alkalinity or acidity: A bait can be manipulated so that when mixed with water to form a solution the solution it creates is more acid or alkaline. There are very many questions regarding exactly how acidity of a flavour for instance genuinely impacts upon the fish receptor cells. This involves numerous forms of chemical and bioelectrical receptors, proteins and specialised channels and nerves connecting and leading to the brain. Flavours work; if they did not we would not be able to detect roast beef or Tutti Fruitti ice cream and feel hungry as biofeedback kick in, and fish in water are the same! Flavours have various levels of impacts and very few substances have no inherent flavour at all; even plastic and rubber baits contain substances that fish can detect down to 1 part in many millions if not over a billion...

Bait component reactivity: This might sound a bit complicated but it basically means that putting one ingredient or substance with another in your bait will lead to a reaction which will benefit your baits performance. Very well proven examples are enzymes used to break down protein ingredients in baits converting them to fish stimulating peptides and amino acids for instance, and various carbonate substances, some of which are used to create activity within the bait and even producing bubbles which disperse the baits attraction further quicker and more efficiently than a standard bait. This is a very interesting and stimulating subject and can be applied to both hook baits ground baits very powerfully!

Bait bioactivity: If you find out enough about bait ingredients in relation to fish themselves you will see that very many of the most successful ingredients affect the fish in potent ways that the fish cannot fail to notice in association with your bait. Many have potent antioxidant properties; in fact it gets to the stage where finding a very successful ingredient which does not have antioxidant properties is comparatively rare. From natural concentrated cranberry, blueberry and strawberry flavours for example, milk extracts, marine and vegetable oils, herbs like mint and spices like black pepper; the list goes on and on...

Bait nutritional biological availability versus flavour attractors: Many anglers see baits that work in terms of how much protein it contains or if it incorporates flavours to make it work. The funny thing is that when Richworth first introduced readymade frozen boilies to the carp fishing anglers, they used flavours such as Tutti Fruitti, Honey Yucatan, and Salmon Supreme. These labels became associated with the bait to the point that the main question was what flavour are you on.

In the case of Richworth at least, many of these flavours are very far from mere labels and do indeed have bioactive properties. However, flavours do not constitute nutritional significance in baits but the bulk ingredients certainly do! Suffice to say, you can eat something but it does not mean you can digest it and actually use it as food! Best nutritional bait design is about bait with as near 100 percent digestibility within the fish, basically to get the maximum impact upon fish internally for repeated successful consumption of bait which leads to higher chances of takes on such a bait.

Thermogenic ingredients and substances: You might have heard about these in regards to dieting or body-building. These are foods which require as much (if not more) energy to digest as the energy they actually provide as food. In effect these ingredients will affect the inner systems of the fish so that when it eats your bait it is stimulated into eating more and there are many ingredients which supplement this effect including taste enhancing feed stimulants and growth stimulants etc. This whole subject is very significant and exploiting it can lead to really great bait edges indeed in terms of ground baits and hook baits of many forms. Spices are a perfect example of very potent but very economical ingredients for homemade baits and ground baits etc.

Bait component olfactory potential impacts on fish and chemoreception: Having mentioned a bit about what baits do to effect fish to make them want to eat your bait or mouth it at least this might be of use. One of the greatest advantages you can have is to glean which substances naturally trigger fish feeding in your chosen fish and to find out exactly how to use them in a bait. If you can team this up with other senses stimulation such as sound, sight or leverage of subtle fish electrical detection and orientation in water you will be far better equipped to exploit and even repeatedly create many more intensive feeding situations than other anglers!

Fish feeding triggers compared to fish attractors: This is linked to the above regarding exploiting fish olfaction and chemoreception, it is the use of fish feeding trigger which have very much more likelihood of stimulating true fish feeding than artificial attractors like many flavours for instance.

Essential nutritional bait ingredient tastes and smells versus artificial flavour tastes and smells: There is no reason why you need to use flavours in some situations, especially if you know a bit more about the inherent flavours produced by you bait ingredients and additives themselves. You might be surprised to find that many of the chemicals producing a characteristic odor in water in bread or milk for example, can also be found in many artificial flavours...

Stimulation of all interrelated fish senses to leverage maximum response to bait: This is about looking at all the senses a fish has and incorporating the means to exploit them together in your bait and rig. It makes logical sense that one great way to induce the most takes for an average skilled angler is to exploit the natural senses of the fish sought. All the senses are naturally used together and the stimuli is processed in the brain to make instinctive and learnt decisions to consume your bait or flee from it! This is just a sample of how you can obtain more control over your baits performance and your resulting fish catching success, and although some areas appear complex it is easy for anyone to use these things with just a little more know-how!

18 Homemade Carp Bait Fishing Ingredients For Big Fish Catches!

Big fish come to those who wait, but those who fully prepare catch the most! Here is a formula which includes a few things many fishermen overlook and it may well make the difference between big fish success and utter disaster! By a guy who hooked a previous world record carp.

1. Fish location is not for the lazy! It’s a vital fishing ‘must do’ especially for big fish and is the universal fishing rule number one; you will not catch any fish where there aren’t any!

2. Always use a sharp hook of suitable size for your fish, and bait! A sharp hook has always caught more big fish than that old blunt beast of an old pattern hook you find in the bottom of the tackle box even if it was your favourite 5 years ago!

3. A bait that still tempts the fish you are hunting and has not already lost its ‘edge’ through previous over-use which actually repels wary fish instead! Do your own thing; homemade baits are the closest thing to a sure-fire bet of a bait; readymade baits are often a lottery in actual effectiveness; the ones you choose may already have been ‘hammered’ without your knowledge! When it comes to baits, flavors and rigs, adaptability and creativity is the name of the game. Being prepared to take risks and do new things always pays-off big-time in the end! The best baits are the ones that catch on the day after all!

4. Lady luck always helps no matter how much you prepare for your fishing! You might hook the one fish you desire within just 5 minutes of your first cast; or it might take you 10 years!

5. You will need other tackle to enable you to land the big fish you’re after including an adequate rod, reel, line and hook link and a strong enough hook not to open-out when the real pressure during the fight reaches its peak, generally on the first run or at the landing net!

6. You will need equipment to deal with the fish once hooked. You will need a big enough landing net for a start. It’s no good using a normal 42 inch carp landing net for a 6 or 7 foot long catfish, unless you are particularly skilled at ‘folding’ such beasts into such a net in the dark, on your own at night, in the rain, on a slippery wet bank! (The secret is drilled rehearsal!)

7. If you are a responsible fishermen and care for the future of your sport, then you will realise that the fish are the future. Remember, smaller fish will be the personal best fish in the future. So if you care for your fish and intend replacing it back into the water it lives in (and not cooking it for tea,) then a protective mat big enough to completely remove any danger of damage from contact with the ground is an excellent and essential bit of kit.

8. Suitable unhooking forceps are necessary (as are sharp scissors!) Often unhooking a well hooked fish with your fingers is difficult without causing undue damage due to difficult angles with a barbed hook which potentially might cause damage. Practicing your forceps skills can make hook removal simple and clean so keep them easily accessible. I’ve seen far too many so-called anglers rushing and fumbling when unhooking fish virtually ripping the hook out of them. This is completely irresponsible and utterly unnecessary and can produce wounds which last for the life of the fish! Just calm the fish down by de-stressing it with plenty of water and wet hands, being efficient, confident and quick. It’s like the old dentist joke:

“You what – you want 200 dollars for just 2 minutes work to remove my tooth; that’s a joke!” The dentist responds by asking: “Would you rather I took an hour instead!?

9. Use of fish care kits with swabs and antiseptic solution are very responsible too in helping heal the hook wound and any scale damage or fresh scrapes, or previous wounds on the skin etc. It is very possible by doing this you will enable the fish to recover from capture much faster, even put on more weight quicker in the future owing to less stress and even potentially save a fish’s life!

10. You need a venue containing the species and size of fish you are hunting; it’s no good fishing for salmon in a river devoid of them for the past 30 years or for a 30 pound carp where the biggest is 19 pounds!

11. Have all your camera equipment ready for use! When you catch your personal best fish of a life-time, you want the photos to reliably come out right; there’s nothing worse when they don’t! (No problem; just catch the same fish twice!)

12. If you fish at night take at least 2 torches and always have plenty of spare batteries. Its ‘sod’s law’ that the one night or session when the fish feed like mad is the one you find your torch packs up. (Bulbs blow too!) Head torches are very popular and cheap these days and I also use ‘glow-in the dark’ pencil torches to find my torches (and glasses) at night. I hang one on the bite alarms to indicate the position of the rods on dark nights. The dim light of a pencil torch is enough for landing big fish in the dark without spooking them off at the last minute at the net and losing them because you have a thousand candle-power lantern on the bank or have a 100 light-emitting diode torch on your head! (On some carp lakes in the UK, constant use of such torches make the banks at night look like a scene from close encounters of the third kind or club laser show rather than a natural lake-side environment; expect to see a ‘ufo’ any minute!)

13. If you fish in the heat you need water and loads more of it than you think! You ‘feel’ hydrated long after your body has become dehydrated. Most people in an out of doors setting are amazed how dehydrated they get but this is because they do not realise just how much more active we have to be outside. Everything takes effort, exertion and energy to get things done and just breathing a lot more loses you much more water and not just in hot conditions. Remember you will usually dehydrate yourself looking around and locating fish, getting yourself and your fishing gear to your swim and having set-up your tents, rods and baiting-up with ground bait if desired. From personal experience; you’re not much good as a fisherman with a heat stroke and a dehydration headache; playing a big fish with a bad headache is most un-cool!

14. Please be aware that fish when first caught come from water that is generally cooler than the air at the height of summer and they will need constantly cooling down with generous amounts of water. Fish skin and delicate vulnerable tissues as in the gills in such conditions can dry out very quickly and be damaged. So be efficient in unhooking fish and very quick with pictures, and keep fish wet! (Wetting your hands before touching your fish really reduces the heat sensitivity shock on them and covering their eyes with a wet sling or sack is very sensible and can help a fish ‘settle’ on your unhooking mat and de-stress it which is very important! I usually take at least 2 big bottles of water just for one night, so you might imagine how much I take for a 3 or 4 days and night session.

15. A bit more about fish recovery and handling. If it is very hot, keep the fish out of the sun and in the water until the last second while everything on the bank is prepared so the fish is out of the water the minimum time possible. When handling, touch the fish as little as you can to avoid stressing it and utilise your wet unhooking mat to carry it back to the water. It may take some minutes if not hours to get a big hard-fighting fish to recover from a spirited fight. During this time make sure you choose a conveniently shaded cooler margin for the fish’s and your own comfort; and be persistent! You may have to artificially work the gills of the fish and wave fresh oxygenated water into its mouth for its energy and metabolism in order for it to recover, which might take an hour or more in very hot conditions!

16. Polarising sunglasses are one of your key bits of kit because they can make you look cool when standing on the bank like an idiot, even though you might have caught no fish, be sweating gallons and look like the morning after your stag night and your gear might have been almost totally destroyed in a freak storm that the previous night! ‘Shades’ are also good for looking for signs of fish such as cleaned feeding spots and impersonating celebrities. In combination with a hat, they even shade your eyes from harmful rays direct from the sun and reflected back off the water, which can easily avoid you a nice headache after a day watching the water, or a tiny little float!

17. If you fish in the winter you will always need more warm dry windproof and waterproof clothing than you think! When your rain or snow-proof stuff gets wet and it’s raining or snowing, if you have no way to dry out; you’ll slowly freeze! A windproof fishing shelter or ‘bivvy’ with a door with zips that really work all the way down to the ground, can literally be a life-saver just as much as a life-jacket when using a boat! Comfortable anglers catch more big fish because they can focus on catching fish instead of just staying warm! (In any country, when you spend the night outside in a strong northerly wind with a minus degrees Celsius wind chill factor, clothes are not just about comfort, but avoiding hypothermia, so beware!

18. It takes practice to do anything in life consistently successfully. ‘Beginners luck’ is one not so ‘weird’ phenomenon. It is easily explained; often a new fisherman on a water with different baits and rigs, fishing unusual or less popular spots (because he is not familiar with the ‘popular’ ones,) will hit the biggest fish first. (No big surprise there; so be prepared!)

So there you have it; it’s easy, there’s nothing to catching big fish! When ‘opportunity meets preparation,’ big things will happen! This fishing bait secrets books author has many more fishing and bait edges. Just one could impact on your catches!

Carp Fishing: Business or Pleasure?

By: Steve Beaton

According to the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), nearly half the fish consumed worldwide are raised on fish farms, rather than caught in the wild. In 1980 just 9% of human fish consumption came from aquaculture; today, that figure exceeds 43% - over 45 million tonnes a year.

Globally, consumer demand for fish continues to climb, especially in affluent, developed nations, whilst capture levels of wild fish have remained roughly stable since the mid-1980s. There is, according to the FAO, very little chance of significant increase beyond current catch levels; indeed, with almost three quarters of the world's fisheries either fully or over exploited, catch levels could easily fall. It is therefore inevitable that aquaculture will be called on to meet a significant proportion of our rapidly rising demands.

It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that fish farming is the world's fastest growing food sector, with many countries focusing on high-value carnivorous fish such salmon or trout. However, the farming of these species can produce significant environmental impacts as they often depend on wild caught fish as a food source. This, in turn, presents an additional threat to wild stocks.

A possible alternative is to grow omnivorous species that occupy lower levels of the food chain and which might therefore require lower energy inputs to produce fish protein. One such species is the Common or European carp (Cyprinus carpio). In fact more carp are farmed worldwide than any other group of fish, with the bulk of this economic activity taking place in Asia and Europe.

Of all our aquaculture systems, carp farming has the longest history. The knowledge gained over centuries of traditional pond culture has largely provided the basis for commercial fish production, and the energy efficiency of this sector has recently been examined by researches at the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA) (please visit "www.cifa.in" for full details of their research.

The principal raw material of modern intensive agriculture is fossil fuel, and, with international fuel prices rising unpredictably, increasing attention being paid to the energy input costs associated with different food production systems, and particular attention is being paid to aquaculture.

CIFA examined a wide range of carp farming techniques and considered how much energy was required to produce one gram of finished product. They then examined how the energy efficiency of these carp farming systems compared to the most ruthlessly efficient (in energy terms) of our intensive live-stocking systems, i.e. large-scale commercial egg production.

Their results showed that the simplest, most sustainable carp production systems (artificial ponds with additional energy inputs largely limited to the addition of natural fertilizers) required between 109 and 132 Kilo Joules of energy input for every gram of protein output (KJ/g).

Where carp production was intensified by the addition of large amounts of artificial fertilizer and commercial feed, the subsequent energy requirements ranged from 205 KJ/g to 418 KJ/g, with most of the variation being caused by the levels of supplementary feeding being applied and the high energy costs associated with the production of high protein commercial fish food.

Where high protein feed was supplemented with artificial aeration (to allow greater stocking densities) energy costs climbed to around 470KJ/g, but this still compares favourably with the energy requirements of intensive egg and poultry production that, typically, will have energy inputs starting at around 552 KJ for 1 g of protein.

So, can large-scale carp aquaculture deliver? Well, the jury is still out, according to FAO. Aquaculture has the potential to cover the gap between supply and demand, but there are also significant forces that could pull production in the opposite direction.

Aquaculture has been experiencing a global boom since the mid-1980s, sustaining a growth rate of around 8% per year (with the notable exception of sub-Saharan Africa). However, the FAO is concerned that momentum could taper off if governments and development agencies don't adjust their policies to respond to challenges that threaten to dampen the sector's future growth. One such bottleneck, argue CIFA, is a lack of investment capital for producers in the developing world. However, the greatest restraints are likely to be a shortage of land and, in particular, a shortage of reliable freshwater supplies.

Despite these problems, the farming of carp (and other omnivorous fish species) is likely to continue its expansion, and many of us who might previously have considered this species in terms of sport rather than food may soon be revising that opinion.
