Summer - meaty marine groundbait, crushed hemp, pellets, boilie crumb and either salmon oil or a fish protien.

Winter - Groundbait (white crumb or something) few pellets, boilie crumb and a dip like greenbeast or pineapple etc.

i got bored 1 time and made 1 up put absulotley evrything in it, a tin of mackrell mashed up in a coffee grinder amoungst other things, pellets, bread,cereal,hemp and some krill and oyster dip, clouded up really well and released oils, some bits hung in mid water,worked a treat! fished wallnut tree and had 5 fish on the rod with the stick mix and 2 fish on the rod with a bag of pellets.

Summer - Groundbait, with crushed hemp, chopped peanut and a good glug of oil just before casting out, a nice visual patch of bait for those kippers, with the added attraction of the oil...

Winter - Stringers, or bags of pellet and chopped boilie

hey nige just out of interest have you not found that the oil in winter conjeals a bit or even slows the break down rate of you stick / bag ....??? ive tended to stay away from oils over the colder month ???

Sorry, got that one the wrong way round.

I'll just edit that post....

Although in winter I tend to relax the flavours/attractants used and if anything just add a slight amount of maple cream flavour, and fish a bright pop-up over a small patch, but tend to fish singles, small bags or stringers in winter.

I must say though that the winter PVA is much better than sticking with normal stuff, that can be wound in after a matter of minutes, still in tact
