Simple Cheap & Effective as title said!Today i went and tested this on canal while cage feeder fishing i am amazed had few carps roach bream and carassios for january just amazing thank you for sharing this with us!I wont be buying groundbait anytime sooner :)
Congratulations on the 10k subs well deserved. Den you got to be doing something right mate to keep us all happy 😉 Iv always put Tumerick on my maggots in the winter months. The way prices are going up this is a timely vid 👍
Hi Den, congrats on the 10k subs, you're absolutely right about the turmeric ground bait, it really does work. It's the only ground bait I use ever since mentioned it way back in your early videos, why change something that works, like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Keep up the good work Den, here's to the next 10k.👍
i think garlic and coriander will be a winner for sure Den but as i say fine cous cous is a great loose feed keeps them scratching about and curry powder nice to test them out good luck and have a great summer
@@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES I've got the opposite. All my spots are either in flood or chocolate brown. Even the ponds. I almost got stuck in my 4WD this morning.
Been subbed ages. Love this video! I recently joined a dead man's shoes pond in the village where I live and its got me addicted to crucian fishing rather than big King carp. Thanks for your advice mate too and congratulations on the 10K subs 🎣🎣🎣
Hi Rye. Thanks for your comments mate. Much appreciated. I would love to catch Crucians again too. When I was a kid, our school had a small pond which was full of them. I spent more time at school in the holidays than I did during term time.😁👍
Looks a very good mix Den.great to see it working.I’m going to give it a try and maybe add a bit of colouring and for the feeder add some crushed ginger biscuit to make it a bit stickier like you said.MAGIC.🤩🤩🧨
Very useful Den, I have also tried brioche (one of our local shops sells loaves of it) I bake it dry in a low oven and add it, ground up, to my ground bait. It's yellow and sweeter than bread and possibly a bit more sticky ( so I don't add too much). I have had some good bream when using it as an addition
Hi Ray. I freeze it all the time mate. Just make sure you don't leave sweetcorn in it from the previous session because the sweetcorn will float after freezing.
Hi Den, please do excuse me as I am a 100% total beginner, I have now made this up, and will be trying out later this week, is this an ALL-year-round method feeder ground bait? Do you freeze it in powder form or mixed with water? Thanks again Den (keep those great wonderful informative videos coming) Regards Ray
Hi Ray. You don't need to freeze the mix when its in powder form. I have kept it in those clip seal plastic bags for months like that. You only need to freeze it after it is mixed with water if you want it to last for a long time. After mixing, it will also last for a few days in the fridge. You will know if it has gone off by the change in smell. I hope that helps mate.
Hi Den, can I ask where you fish, I'm not after your spots but I'm in Queensland and finding it hard to locate a decent carp fishery. Keep up the good work.
Hi Pete. I'm in NSW and I just fish local public venues, plus some private ones where I have obtained permission from the owners. As I understand it, there are far fewer spots in Queensland for Carp due to their distribution getting more sparse as you go further North. Try joining Aussie Carp Fishos on Facebook. There are some other anglers there who have asked similar questions in the past. You may be able to get more info that way.
Hi Den. I used this for the first time at the weekend on my local pond. Had decent results & hooked into a good number of carp on the method feeder. I did though lose 5 fish in weeds close to the bank. Any suggestions on how I can stop losing these fish & get them in the net?? Thanks for the videos- I’m definitely benefiting from your expertise
Hi. Thanks for your comments. Without seeing exactly what you are experiencing, it's a little difficult to provide advice, but here goes: 1. Tighten the drag down as the fish gets closer, so it cannot take line. 2. Use a heavier rod, reel and line so you can bully the fish out. You might even be able to stop them getting into the weeds in the first place. 3. Hold your rod up high as they go into the weeds. If they are growing vertically (like bullrushes), you stand a better chance of getting them out. 3. Move slightly further down the bank, so you have more room to manoeuvre the fish away from the weeds. 4. Give up, go home, pour a large glass of Red Wine and put your feet up while you cogitate upon your failings. 😁😁👍👍
Great video as usual Den. Are fish farm pellets available in aus to put through your grinder?plenty of manual varieties online available too. Saves on electricity that way.
Thanks Scott. if you mean the hard Trout Pellets, the answer is yes. The powder I showed on the video was ground down through the grinder for the video. One point I must mention though, is that I rarely use fish based products down here. It simply fills your swim with Turtles and Eels.
If the guy on the next peg from you is catching more and you ask him what is in his ground bait …never believe what they tell you ! It’s their secret and they will tell you something totally different
I use Vitalin Original dry dog food, which is cereal and flaked maze, instead of bread crumbs as the main base. In the UK you can get 15 Kgs for £20. It can be mixed with just water, course with flavouring or put through a blender to a power, excellent and a cheap alternative to all of the flavoured manufactured ground baits in the UK.
10k Den !! Thats what well refer to you know i think. Ha ha. What would be the approxamate cost of this batch of groundbait. Iv gone to pva net putting pellet in it as my groundbait is either always a bit goldilocks. Bit too wet or a bit too dry. Jus cant get the consistancy right. Hence the reason i use pva bags now. Cant think i make many freinds on the bank showering my neighboring pegs with grounbait mortar bombs. Quite embarrasing.
Hi Gavin. The cost would really depend on whether you bought the breadcrumbs in small bags like me or bought sacks of it from the bakery. Of course, if you used left over slices of bread, the cost would be even lower. I've never actually calculated how many batches I get out of a sack of Chicken Layer Pellets either, so I'm afraid I can't really answer your question. As a guess, if a bag of breadcrumbs costs £1.35, I reckon the rest would probably total up to £2 to £2.50.
I think people complicate feed too much. It use to be just boil corn or wheat, and go with worms, maggots or bugs on hook. And now we put spices like its michelin kitchen 🤦. There is no need to do that, especialy when we have plastic rockets, disolvable bags... If the fish is there, they will eat any bait.
I've been adding ground-up dried mealworm to great effect
All the best from Scotland and good luck with your channel tightlines.
Simple but effective, thanks Den
Had great results from using cheap supermarket muslie .....just add white crumb to bind .....Great for tench,bream nd carp 😉👍
Yep, I grind up bread cheap weetabix & old biscuits, bit of curry powder, Bob's yer uncle.
Definitely going to give this a go, kinda like the idea of using homemade ground bait 👏🏴
well done Den, keep em coming

Congratulations on the 10k subs well deserved. Den you got to be doing something right mate to keep us all happy 😉 Iv always put Tumerick on my maggots in the winter months. The way prices are going up this is a timely vid 👍
Thanks Geoff mate. 👍
Put tumeric on my flouro pinkies in the winter , definitely peps them up and roach love it .

i think garlic and coriander will be a winner for sure Den but as i say fine cous cous is a great loose feed keeps them scratching about and curry powder nice to test them out good luck and have a great summer
Thanks mate. You too.
@@FishingwithDen fishing in to winter here looking brown and drab
@@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES I've got the opposite. All my spots are either in flood or chocolate brown. Even the ponds. I almost got stuck in my 4WD this morning.
@@FishingwithDen yes iv seen rain in the region is bad at the moment
Currently on the bank fishing the method feeder with punched bread
interesting video pal, may look into making my own ground bait mix
👍👍well done !🐟🐟👋
Thanks Danny.
it breaks up really great Dan, awesome thanks for advice. In fact I tried 70 biscuit + 30 bread crumb and it is too sticky, will add some fibber to it
I haven’t used it myself Den, but a lot of the groundbaits have coriander in them. Not sure what it’s being used for, but very popular
Coriander is often used as an additive for Roach James. I don't know how effective it will be for Carp, but I'll find out later in the year.

No worries Clive. Everyone will have their own take on things, so feel free to experiment and let me know how you go.
Congratulations on the 10K subs Den
Thanks Barbara. It's nice to think that people find my videos interesting and informative enough to watch regularly.
Hi Den loving your informative videos, do you have any ideas for a perch ground bait please? Cheers.
Thanks Ian. Unfortunately not, there are no Perch around where I live, so I haven't had to come up with one.
Very useful Den, I have also tried brioche (one of our local shops sells loaves of it) I bake it dry in a low oven and add it, ground up, to my ground bait. It's yellow and sweeter than bread and possibly a bit more sticky ( so I don't add too much). I have had some good bream when using it as an addition
Interesting idea William. I had never considered that before.
Hi Den, love your videos and keep em coming, do you think this ground bait be frozen?
Hi Ray. I freeze it all the time mate. Just make sure you don't leave sweetcorn in it from the previous session because the sweetcorn will float after freezing.
Thank you Den, keep your great amazing videos coming matey, they are so informative....
Hi Den, hope your well. Is it chicken Layer pellets you use?
Congrats mate👌
Thanks Brett.

Did you have any issues with the oil content whilst milling the hemp Den?
In Europe I used sweet paprika it's a ausum additive for summer months
Try adding glucose it will blow your mind.
@@Loyalist-ul6qm thank you
I add coffee grounds to my powdered bread to break it up and a bit of sand to make it sink !
Does it not go mouldy with it having breadcrumb in it ?
The breadcrumb is dry during storage Paul, so it can be kept for months. After mixing, if I don't use it, I just put it in the freezer.
Any tips on groundbait for rivers?
I use this groundbait on rivers all the time Stephen.
@@FishingwithDen great thanks. I'll give it a try.
hello friend, can you tell me a recipe for BREAM fish
Great video as usual Den. Are fish farm pellets available in aus to put through your grinder?plenty of manual varieties online available too. Saves on electricity that way.

Hi Den, great mix that. But, if you're in the UK DON'T USE TAP WATER, full of chlorine & fish don't like it. Tightest lines🐟🪱🎣👍
