Another Bread Thread Fred

Calling all Bread Heads.

So the carp don’t want any feed thrown at them in the Winter? Yet the fish on my local lake are still happy to slurp slices of bread down off the top at the end of the match when the customary chuck your excess bait in the lake session starts. We have seen them bully the ducks away. And this is after a frosty start and a max of 4 degrees in the day.

You can catch on popped up bread, but its a waiting game. Same on waggler and punched bread pellets. Was won shallow on the pole at 16m on bread last week – but he only caught for an hour spell. But as soon as the bread starts hitting the surface at the end they’re up.

My question is prompted by Paul Newell and the now legendary and obviously very controversial slop method. I’m trying to adapt this method to fishing the waggler at distance.
I want to introduce small cherry tomato size balls of slop at 30/40m, but not likky, larger particles preferably. It needs to hold together in the air and disintegrate on impact and obviously sink to avoid floating bait ban.
Any ideas on how I might prepare a mix for the job? I’ have tried punching hundreds of discs and then soaking and balling, but they tend not to hold together unless squeezed too tight to break up on impact. Mash tends to be a bit too lumpy for the job.
Anyone tried this?

Give me a call I can help to some degree with that . What a fantastic method if you pull it off !!!

Craig have you tried adding Horlicks or sticky mag to the bread mix for catapulting out? powdered wheat gluten may bind it together enough has to be worth a try of coarse there is the old river trick 50% white crumb and 50% punch crumb with a bit of gravel added to fire it out

Try making a very small bagging waggler type float. Wetted down but not sloppy rough liquidiesed bread would hold together with a careful cast but would expload as the float hits the water.
