| Groundbaiting for pike Hi has anyone tried groundbaiting for pike. Reason I'masking is that I have been fishing a midlands park lake for a couple of months now with some success but the going has been slow. then a couple of sessions ago I tried a groundbait mix and caught my biggest pike (15lb7oz) from the pool and also the most fish in a session (5) Repeating the experiment on my next session resulted in a blank but that doesnt prove much as conditions had deteriorated. I shall continue the experiment over the rest of the winter but wondered if any other pikers had tried anything similar. I will post my results later in the new year but would welcome any information from other anglers All the best Chris     |

| Re: Groundbaiting for pike Yes ive done it and it makes sense as if you get more bait fish in your swim then surely the pike will switch on to the feed ? __________________ Richard|Sea Fishing |Carp Fishing| Spud Gun | Zander fishing | Fishing Reports | Hunting Reports |

| Re: Groundbaiting for pike When I was a kid an old guy who used to fish for perch on the Wey always tossed the odd ripped up slice of Mothers Pride into the swim to get the minnows and bleak out of bed! ...the perch were not far behind he'd say |

| Re: Groundbaiting for pike using groundbait is a good method a nice oily fish and crumb small bait fish will be attracted which along with the scent will attract the pike have seen pike groundbait used with a method feeder |

| Re: Groundbaiting for pike Have used it before and can't say it made any real difference... Had 18 pike using it in one session... Next session a week later i had 25 fish and a new PB, so as you can see it didnt really help at all! ... So I guess it all depends on the venue and conditions, but it's well worth a go!...
