    Hey guys I've been fishing for carp mostly in canals and rivers..and I want to try a lake, there is one buy my house..can anyone give me tips on any household foods or grocery foods I can use for chumming..I have boilies but limited I need to stock up on some so I don't want to chum those..I went for a little bit today and mixed oats with cream style and chilli powder rolled them into golf size balls and chinned every 1h and I had no hit..and also I'm using a cage feeder but my mix won't come off the feeder even after the rod has been in the water for a few hours any ideas of it breaking down faster?...

    I used to fish the des planes, then I stopped and I started back up again..problem I'm having is the current keeps taking my line out constantly..idk if I'm using the wrong setup or rigs but to describe what I'm using now is a wire feeder (medium) a 2oz pear weight and a standard hair rig..every time I cast out after about 20min my spool is letting line out...is there anytime of tackle or setup I can use to avoid snags or current?

    I went out yesterday and mixed oats..creamstyle corn..and a little bit of chilli powder but for sone reason it took me forever to get it to the right consistency because when I poured te cream style in ..i might have put to much because I wish mixing for a good 20-25 min before I can put it on my feeder...it works thought got a nice 15.3lb :)

    Method Mix Help

    Isint chilli powder better in the winter because of it's spices? but either way both cinnamon and chilli powder can be good attractors.. and let's say I use a 15m pop up pineapple boilie, I can just pour pineapple flavoring on my method mix? Would that affect anything since the mix has it's own scent?

    Method Mix Help

    I been using a method mix that I made my self and I'm having trouble with it because it dosent break down fast enough and other times i would cover my hook bait into the feeder and after 2 hours I reeled in to rebait and the hook was still molded on the feeder and the method mix did not break down at all.

    Here's my ingredients...

    Into a blender..

    Quick Oats

    Corn Grits

    Corn Flakes

    Is there any other ingredients I can add to make it more attractive? And how can I make it to break down after 5 min?

    Thanks

    see I would have a helicopter rig with a fox paste bomb but I think the current would just pull my method mix off the paste bomb once it hit the bottom so I'm thinking of using just a caged feeder maybe that would help

    No Luck :(

    I fish the ship and sanitary canal in willow springs 95% of my time and I fished it all June & July..I've used pips, pineapple boiles tutti frutti hemp seed corn and nothing..is there something I'm doing wrong or do I need to chum..with chumming thou I think it's pointless because there is alot of boat traffic and it will all stir up underwater..any suggestions ???
