Possibly readymades?

In addition to small fish everything else in the lake will be having a go at it too

Fair point Russ. Eventually it'll break down and just form the silt.

I wouldn't be very surprised if silt was analysed and it contained a lot of 'food' particles.

Ready made baits don't break down as easily, some better than others due to the preservatives and other ingredients within them.

Good quality bait will brake down in a matter of days, try putting a bait into a pint glass with water and leave it a few days you will find that the bait will be a mush, this applies to freezer baits as for ready mades that could be another story.

I don't think I have met any welly members that use readymades yet......not that there is anything wrong with them

after they baited up the teams of coots were picking up plenty of boilies in a few areas, between the fish and birds most of the bait will go'

I remember reading that gary baines designned his bait to rise and float away so it didn't taint the spot, something to do with egg album!! giving teh bait a harder skin so the gasses make it rise. That was when he was on fen and a massive baiting campain, Proper cleaver even taking them fine details into account

I've heard about increasing the amount of egg albumin to give baits harder skins, therefore protecting them from crayfish, poisson chat, bream and other nuisance species, but never to make them rise. Interesting concept.

Just look at how bait has evolved over the years. From reading various websites that were written as journals in the '80s and published in the .com boom it's amazing to see what has developed. Back then they used boiled potatoes and other weird and wonderful arrays of household food items.

Don't you want cooler temperatures to increase the levels of dissolved oxygen in the water anyway? Hence why most lakes, if not all stock fish either before or after winter?
