Homemade Carp Bait Boilies and Chops

With the ice storm we've been experiencing today accompanied by rain and temperatures in the 30's, I decided to make some baits so they are ready when spring finally arrives in Southeast Michigan. It's a late spring this year and it's really eating into my carp fishing exploits. Hopefully the preparations I have been making while waiting for better weather will pay off.

I made some for hook baits and some for pre-baiting

Can you imagine a bed of those on the lake bed?
Those hungry carp won't be able to resist them.

Basic Recipe for Boilies

• Semolina
• Soya
• Protein meal
• Wheat germ
• Bird seed
• Whey
• Cayenne
• Garlic powder
• 6 eggs

I used equal parts Semolina and Soya with 1 1/2 parts protein meal added. Example: 200 grams Semolina, 200 grams Soya and 300 grams Protein meal.

You can experiment with different amounts, but I've had success with equal parts Semolina and Soya. In my experience the bolies form up better that way.
