Groovy Baby


Continuing with the weird carp baits, and as I said I would, I hit the pond armed with a packet of Bassetts Jelly Babies - none of that supermarket own brand stuff, I’m taking it seriously!


And they worked - was there ever a doubt? But what colours you might ask? Red 1 carp, orange 1 carp, green 1 carp, yellow 0 carp and black 0 carp. It’s like science (only dafter).


And as this is science I also fished a second rod with a more conventional bait of halibut pellets as a control - Jelly Babies 3 carp, pellets 9 carp... And I’m wondering what to try next...

    Come on now, let's take this science stuff seriously, did they prefer boy or girl jelly babies?

      No more variables! The Jelly Baby test is on the books :-)

    I'm sure it's illegal to stick baiting needles into babies.

      They didn’t like it, but I promised them a swim afterwards!! Reminds me I’ve got to clean Jelly Baby guts out of my baiting needle...

      So do sausage rolls, my version of fishing a pop-up!
