Making Home made Carp Baits Addictive To Fish!

By Tim Richardson

Many anglers fish without ever knowing how their baits actually induce fish to behave the way they do; in taking bait and hook into their mouths. But if you knew better how to achieve this effect in practice, and how to manipulate it more appropriately at times, do you think this would increase your chances of bites and fish landed? If so, then read on!

Most anglers use readymade carp baits because they have become conditioned to because of easy availability, but confidence form slick advertising and advertorials etc are most often the bait that hooks such anglers and certainly not first-hand experience. Often the catches on new baits are made by the best, sharpest and most aware anglers using the edge of a new bait, and most anglers over-look this. If you have not used a bait before and not only do not know what it is made with nor how it works in detail, then my friend, you are fishing on blind faith not confidence.

Why would you care of you knew anything more about bait anyway; after all you catch fish right, and you have confidence in your baits? The difference between you running against an Olympic champion and expecting to win is you can try hard as you can with the amount you already have or know, but the Olympic champion has prepared in as many ways as fully as possible for a very long time; and that is why he is the best; talent at the top is not enough! In many ways use of flavours is like a race, where so many are simple taste or flavour carriers and mere attractors, (not feeding triggers) but others are like live rocket fuel by comparison, but you could spend your life missing out by not finding out; because most anglers keep secrets to themselves...

It may be remembered that bait substances get diluted in water and many chemicals occur in air which are not the same compounds when released into water. What if I suggested that it was not necessarily the familiar smell of garlic we humans recognise in air that produces its effects on carp for its success? What about the significance of the fact that when in water, certain pungent garlic compounds given off in air, including that distinctive garlic smell are not produced?

Carp are turned-on by far more than a vanilla or strawberry flavour combination and in fact often these will provide no response at all as they are not true feeding triggers as such, but some bait substances compensate for this by affecting carp in far more profound ways internally! Science is hard right; well I did an easy test on carp baits today by eating wheat-free biscuits and a wheat free doughnut; all done in interests of science and in the best possible taste! Sometimes there are substances used in foods and baits which are naturally there or added deliberately which induce you brain create the sensation of pleasure so you enjoy them more...

On eating the wheat-free foods I did not want to keep eating them and certainly Homer Simpson would have a shock if his doughnuts were wheat-free as there is something internally potent missing in them! Beyond all the flavours, sweeteners, enhancers and other goodies already added to those biscuits and doughnut (I say doughnut as I could only eat one,) something vital was missing. That missing substance that in wheat for example causes the release of feel-good hormones in the wheat-free foods was gone, and I really missed it!

If you apply this to fishing, it is like using a bait with a flavour and sweetener, and fishing next to it a bait with the same ingredients exactly, but with that extra vital brain chemical releasing impact. Which food or bait will catch more fish and which might you go for preferentially?! As it is your brain the makes the decision for your body you may have no choice and you may have noticed that so many people over-eat wheat-based foods and store-up fat as a result despite this being far from a healthy thing to do; it's natural drug-induced behaviour for sure, even though certain emotions are frequently still involved!

In fact many of the same ingredients are in so many foods that in bulk are definitely harmful to the body, but induce people to buy them. Any carp angler knows that tiger nuts and peanuts for instance also have substances that also lead to this type of behaviour. Whether you term this induced habit-forming or addictive behaviour, it is just as profoundly significant, applicable and powerful when it comes to getting a bait edge over your carp and over other competing baits... This fishing bait secrets ebooks author has many more fishing and bait edges - just one might well impact very significantly on your big fish catches!

Vacation Destinations

By Gary Pearson

The five day work week can get a little old. I wonder who came up with this. I think we all have a few choice words for the guy. Come on, only a two day break in between. Luckily we have vacations to sooth our overworked minds and bodies. Those two weeks out of the year to simply relax and soak up the good side of life. When that time rolls around for the big trip, you want to know where the ideal spots are. With the help of the Internet you can check out some of the greatest vacation destinations.

It is really amazing how great the Internet is for finding the perfect vacation destination. There are entire websites devoted to vacations and forums where travelers can post their thoughts on what the loved or hated about where they travelled. View advisories on where not to travel and get information on travel immunizations. If you choose a non-English speaking country you can even use the Internet to learn the native language.

If you have small children, don't despair as there are many resorts that cater to your family type. Some resorts and cruises will take the kids off you hands each day and organize great activities for them while you sit by the adult pool and relax. Or if you have trouble letting go of your little one you can find a resort that lets you join in the activities with your child.

There are fabulous travel deals on the Internet as well. Travel agencies save big on not having offices everywhere, so they pass the savings on to you. Compare similar packages across different travel sites so you know you are getting the best deal. Choosing to travel during off peak seasons will save you even more, as long as you are prepared for a potential rainstorm or two. There is no limit to the type of vacation you can plan, only your own imagination.

If you're in need of that break from the mundane work-week, take a trip through cyberspace and locate those ideal vacation destinations for you and your family. The all-inclusive package deals will help you decide which is the perfect one. This way you will have all expenses taken care of before traveling, and little stress while enjoying your vacation.
