hi, im looking for a protein mix/meal for adding to groundbait something cheap and effective, i know i could use ground pellets which i do sometimes but get plagued by bream! any ideas? thanks.

Cat or dog food either the dry stuff or the wet stuff out of a tin....

thanks paul sounds good

I've had good results adding fishmeal and calf milk replacer to groundbaits and stick mixes but they are a bit more pricey than dog food. A bit of belacan grated into the mix helps a bit too

hi i do use fishmeal and calf milk replacer but again bream, i pump belachan into my expanders in the summer great bait

How big are the Bream you are catching? I ask because bream feeding over your bait is not automatically a bad thing. Have you thought of running with the bream activity and trying alternative/bigger hook baits?

up until this cold spell last few days bream of around 5to6lb yes i could try bigger baits i suppose and see what happens thanks

I'd certainly be using geet big rock hard donkey chokers if bream (or eels) were a major problem.

our not even putting your rods out and wait for them to fook off lol

spread your bait more bream luv a easy feed !! if you want a good protein just go supermarket now they will be selling body building drinks cheap bash a heap of that in a 1KG mix

LOL in my defense there is not a lot you can do to deter 12lb bream. I did start to wade through them but several hours of catching them in monsoon conditions middle of the night and the white flag came out.

You know me Joe I catch em on my terms. If that means winding in so I can get a kip so be it. Rather be happy and blanking than miserable and catching.

It was for the best, you know as well as anybody what a grumpy fu*k I am if I am woken up.
