SPICY BAIT - fishing with curried maggots

It's an unseasonal scorcher for this May visit to the famous Yateley East fishing complex. Not ideal fishing conditions for mature gravel pits with clear water, but I spice things up by using a classic old bait additive - curried maggots - and manage to land a couple of nice fish from the beautiful Summer Pit, owned by Farnham Angling Society.
Feeder fishing was the plan but I end up doing best in a weedy and snaggy bay, using stepped up float tactics with the spiced up bait. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Another great video John.. Shame about the lost fish, but hey, that's why it's called the 'Magic of fishing' 😉

[@themagicoffishing]

Totally! What would fishing be without the one that got away? 😄🎣

Hello Jon, as is becoming the norm, this video is very calming. No bells and whistles, just then fishing, come rain or sun. Another standout observation is that watching you material is a nice escape from adverts in fishing disguise, you know like preston or diawa and so on. That's what is likeable about TA fishing. Your book got here a few days ago, and so I'll email you shortly for an address to post it for signing, but not just yet, other things to do first/ Thank you again for sharing you angling with us. Take care John. TTFN

Thanks 🙏 Means a lot and happy to sign soon…

No complaints here John, like you I'm happy to catch. Last Friday was almost a blank one, first thing on was a freshwater mussel😅 followed by 2 decent bream & a couple of hybrids. Happy days. Tightest of lines sir. Keep the quality over quantity coming. Nearly finished your book. Keeping it with me should we meet for a signature 🤔

[@themagicoffishing]

Thanks! Not had a freshwater mussel for ages!! Used to get them on the Trent - pulled the tip right round 😄

[@Multi_Species_Fishing]

Might try this out

[@themagicoffishing]

It can be deadly on its day. Good on rivers too.

A couple of nice carp there John,I have tried curry in the groundbait and been quite succesfull on the feeder with a homemade curried boilie

[@themagicoffishing]

Curried boilies! I eat at your restaurant any day 😋

[@BlackBottomFloats]

Nice vid John! Mmmmm. Curried maggots... do you want rice or chips with that? 😂

[@themagicoffishing]

😂🙊

[@cliveeariss880]

Hello Jon, great vid mate, I hate currey, so those maggots would make me er not feel to good, lol anyway very relaxing and enjoyable.

[@themagicoffishing]

Thanks very much! Shame about the curry aversion but the fish like it 😋🐟

[@stevenmoses5807]

Can I suggest mixing chilli powder with krill n tuna groundbait or with poloni groundbait.. or just red maggots use chilli powder..tench n carp love it

[@themagicoffishing]

You surely can! Thanks 🎣👌

[@neilwayte517]

Oh dear more carp fishing. Another couple weeks and I'll be along to show you how not to play a fishing like a fairy with a wand. Might go to the bream pit tomorrow but fear it may be a bit bright plus its friday so the crap anglers will be turning up and getting upset with me quiver tipping in their carp swims lol

[@themagicoffishing]

Don’t worry, Paul - this is Neil who featured in one of my videos at Marsh Farm. He’s an old hand (and an angling author) who has recently had a hip operation and must be EXTRA grumpy 😂 Seriously though, he used to be a big carp man but - like you - now dedicates himself to silvers 🎣 He’s pulling my leg. Appreciated the sentiment though ✊ 😊

[@themagicoffishing]

Haha, very amusing, Neil. I DID go for tench but it was far too bright for them to play ball 🎣 Not too long off the river season now….

[@neilwayte517]

@@Paulforsilvers not being rude Paul I’m just pulling Johns leg.

[@Paulforsilvers]

@@neilwayte517yes, he did explain. Thanks. Theres so many on youtube just willing to knock someone trying to entertain us, just gets to me. Tight lines mate😊

[@neilwayte517]

Agreed Paul but you should hear us when we are fishing side. Constant mickey taking. Wait till the next video and hopefully you will hear the fairy with a wand comment. The trouble is he comes from the wrong side of the Thames and talks funny. Hopefully I’ll be out with him soon and he’ll give me another whipping on the waggler.
