WHEAT THE Top particle feed

Wheat.jpg blogSoak your wheat in boiling water for 48 hours (in a cooler box). Wheat is cheap, it keeps (can be frozen) and is one of the best particle feeds especially for pre baiting. We have used it successfully in Canada for carp and Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Ireland for all coarse species. A £12 back is equivalent to around £400 (volume) of casters. You should use around one 20kg bag per two anglers in a week. Buy it, prepare it, USE IT…

IRELAND for great coarse fishing

Wild fish in wild unspoilt waters. Baz Smith is our angling ace now living in Ireland. He is a top match angler and develops our top venues. Swim preparation, regular and accurate feeding using plenty of particle are the key points.

7 nights at McGuires Cottages Drumshanbo in October cost around £146 pp each of 4. This is a dog friendly centre. Located close to town on Acres Lake. We have a wide range of properties close to excellent fishing._DSC0003.jpg blog

BIG WATER LAKES by Baz Smith in Ireland

Big stillwaters like Lough Derg can be daunting but with the right weather conditions and approach catches can be huge. I have had many 100 to 200 pound plus catches in May, June and September on waters like this. Yes you need stable weather, ideally with a slight breeze and not too bright. But even in conditions like these I have enjoyed some great fishing for quality hybrids, roach and some bream (bream are naturally low light feeders).

Getting plenty of particle into the swim is critical (wheat is my bulk feed) with some added maggots, casters and chopped worm. You have to feed accurately, my killing zone is invariably 40 metres out into around 10 feet of depth, feeding and catching in around 5 square metres.!!! Clipping up on the feeder is essential. Derg usually requires boat access to the more remote deeper water swims. I never use a keep net if i want to fish the same swim on consecutive days.I only use one for my last day for the camera.!!!_DSC0055.jpg blog
