WK by the way it is already happening only difference is that Aniseed oil is used with chokka baits.

I am definitely going to start experimenting more. In April I had a bit of vanilla essence and I was pulling out Blacktail after Blacktail and got a small cracker as well before it ran out, so it does work!

apparently the latest craze is coffee extract,bass fisherman are using it and some carp anglers.

Really? To be honest with you I think the baits work well enough!

@ WJ - Nothing "wrong" with using additives i guess but its not allowed in competitions.

@ WK - Maybe my grammar sucks but it would assume you talking about all competitve anglers in your initial statement.

Dont mean to stir but its quite a statement to make esp if its in our constitutional rules that we cannot use additives of any nature.

I can see how it comes across now, but I was just referring to some anglers I know and not everyone... Sorry about that.

I had no idea that you were not allowed to use additives in comps though

Walks bru the additives debate has raged for ages now. Personally I don't understand it, if you add some sard guts to a chokka bait its ok but anchovy oil apparently isn't? I don't see the difference since both are natural baits. With the aniseed oil perhaps you have "disinfected" your bait board with some aniseed extract and it got on your bait

luckily I'm not a competitive angler or I'd be seriously unpopular

True HP, but it could be regarded as unfair though!

Unfair to who, the fish or the anglers? The way I see it is that you use everything at your disposal, as long as it is legal, to win comp. With legal I mean something like aniseed oil not dagga or tik.

Is it then not unfair for one angler to use a better rod than the guy next to him because it helps him cast further?

WalkersKiller · « **Reply #34 on:** July 06, 2012, 01:35:35 PM »

Im not sure other people might perceive it as unfair

Great article.
It looks like I have raid the kitchen before I go on my next outing.
Have you guys ever considered using food colouring to make your bait more visible? I was thinking of adding some red food colouring to my Shad baits.

I have tried a mix of red floroscene , Aniseed essence and Anchovy oil . With not even one bit over 3 different trips in KZN , EC and WC

I am stating to question where you fish when you come to KZN

Next time you here give me a shout will make a plan to take you to a spot where you catch these things at night

Howzit WK... took my 6 year old son for his first proper deepsea trip 2 weeks ago. His first saltwater fish (other than bait) was a nice little Bronze Bream caught on chokka!!!

.... will tell him to bring his carp dips next time we go out
