Some Secrets of Sausage Meat Baits

Searching for cheap but well proven big fish protein baits is very important and homemade sausage meat baits and ground baits are excellent baits for many reasons. Luncheon meats and Pepperoni are popular and effective also but these prove to be extremely expensive as fishing baits. So let’s see how you can make your own big fish sausage meat baits and save a small fortune!

If you use sausage meat as a base for bait this is a bit more ethical than using valuable marine resources, but it can be used to bulk-up certain fish or shellfish bait mixes to cut costs and create different nutritional profiles, tastes effects etc. Sausage meat fresh or frozen fresh can be found easily. Fresh meat is best though catfish are know for being attracted to baits just souring, Some people prefer to use this effect with blood based baits and not pork. Often the biggest fish in your waters will take a new safe bait pretty quickly and sausage meat based baits are not trendy and can really give you many competitive edges!

Sausage meat is simple and easy to use. You can either mince it up or buy the minced product. The nutritional value of pork sausage meat is a stimulant to both carp and catfish and it has a fair proportion of the important fish stimulators such as amino acids and oils. Pork sausage meat is often made with bread crumbs and it is very simple to make a bait by simply mixing it with eggs and very cheap wheat flour, though other more nutritional binding flours and meals are very numerous, and will help bind bait into a dough.

Making one of the cheapest protein based homemade baits is simple, fast and very easy to do

For example, get half a pound of minced sausage meat, mix in a bowl with about 3 to 4 large eggs and around 2 table spoons of ordinary cheap wheat flour (use more if required) and kneed this into a stiff pliable dough. This can be used as fishing bait immediately as paste, baged up in using a tie to make the bag air tight, store in the fridge or freeze it for use next time. This bait is pretty much right on target with most carp and catfish waters even though various meat brands and grades may vary results and basic and simple will produce lots of fish.

Like most carp and catfish baits, the best way to start fishing with it is to prefeed perhaps 2 to 6 pounds or more of it into your swim, ahead of your fishing trip. (This is not necessary however!) You might for instance, over a period of 3 days prior to fishing, start prefeeding paste pieces about an inch in diameter just by pulling them off your balls of dough you have made.
Pre-baiting will make the fish be far more prepared to eat your bait with even more enthusiasm when you start actually fishing; so grab a tight hold onto your rod! Sausage meat in this form also makes fantastic ground baits too. Fishing paste balls has always been extremely effective, but these days you might prefer to make your baits more resilient to smaller fish (by par-boiling,) to help keep them intact when the bigger fish arrive; but add some dough to your bait or hook or PVA bag anyway too!

Boil your baits for anything from a minute to 5 minutes; be aware, the longer boiling makes them harder, but it loses more attraction in the process. To help attraction there are so many choices to add to your bait, or just to keep results coming. As a suggestion, you could add sea salt at about a teaspoon per 2 eggs worth of bait mixed, or add curry powder at a heaped teaspoonful per egg used in the mix or more depending on the form of curry powder used.

You might just add a teaspoon of black pepper powder per egg used. Other examples of well proven kitchen favorites are yeast extract products like Marmite or Vegemite; add at a heaped tablespoon per egg, or even Parmesan or blue cheese powder which is ideal in sausage meat baits. You can simply add some Minamino or proprietary fishing liquid amino acids supplement like Nutramino to boost feeding stimulation and nutritional profile of your bait; or add fish meal, keratin, or poultry meal, or ground bird foods and lecithins for more digestible baits in winter, for example…

If you use the proven fish feeding triggers and proven fish attractors with a nutritional or other beneficial physiological effects, they will pay for themselves for sure. Even supermarket oil based citrus flavours can be very effective. Homemade sausage meat baits do compete even with the latest enzyme-active commercial baits and catch big carp and catfish at a fraction of the cost of very many popular baits. Being different is one of the top edges in fishing even just using the bait ideas here to adapt, will add an unusual bait paste moulded round your readymade bait is going to get you thinking about more productive possibilities in the future; and the more you know the more valuable cheaper edges you have and thee more fish you will net.!

When your catches are not as you wish there are many tricks to try; and improving the pulling-power of your hook baits is just one of these but it is a massively important one! Carp can be very difficult to tempt when previously hooked before on any bait, so aiming to make your hook baits unique can really pay-off. Liquid bait soaks have always been successful but you can make you own homemade ones very easily…

You can make homemade dips using many house-hold food items including oils and juices from tinned fruits and canned fish. Pastes and pastes are very under-used items and mix with various liquids to make effective nutritional cheap dips. It is cheaper to make homemade boilies but steam them instead of boiling them for better catches!

Coating your baits in even simple paste or dough bait certainly increases catches. Because most of the stimuli which incite fish feeding are water soluble, it is sensible to get many soluble attractors in your paste for best effect! There are many feeding triggers in fish and using mashed tinned fish like tuna, anchovy or salmon to make paste to go around your hook baits is easy; just mix with eggs and wheat flour or with ground dog mixers to bind!

If you use readymade baits like boilies and pellets or even prepared particle baits like nuts or seeds or tinned meats, you will get more takes by altering the surface coating. Make it irregular shaped as if other fish have already been chewing at the bait. This helps release the baits intrinsic attractive substances too. Another trick when using boilies is to poke them with a knife point or baiting needle to go deep inside the bait to release attraction - it really works and changes the bait surface into a very unusual and irregular texture too with all its advantages!

Try coating your baits with a dough or paste. This does not have to correspond to the hook bait you use at all; it could be you use a red fish meal boilie coated with a yellow bird food paste mix. Or tiger nut coated in shrimp paste, or luncheon meat coated with aniseed flavoured ground bait based paste.

Making the leap of faith and trying coating pop-up buoyant baits with paste is a very good edge indeed and extremely well proven! The pop-up or semi-buoyant hook bait has no need to be like the paste around it and in fact the more alternative your paste is the better. Coating pop-up baits with paste is a great edge which is little-used by the majority of carp anglers and as you can see, these things just take a little lateral thinking utilising what we are already using.

Many big fish can tell which baits are hook baits by their behaviour in the water and their weight and buoyancy. Using a more buoyant hook bait can seriously fool these fish where blank sessions could well occur on mere conventional bottom baits! It might come as a surprise but you can easily make pastes from scalded pellets and other baits too.

It is a commonly held angling myth that fish do not learn, but in truth very many species can be conditioned by angling activities, bait introduction etc and even koi carp can be trained to take baits from out of a keepers hands and be in a particular place in advance of feeding time! If you think carp do not learn just consider that over time when repeatedly hooked by anglers, they do not get easier to catch but harder! It’s just the same with hunting of other kinds. For this reason alone it is definitely in your best interests to find out as much as possible how to maximise the impact and effects of your hook baits and free baits because a trap is only as good as the bait!
