Tourist Boilies Nail Oz Twenties
I was overjoyed to hear from Jeff Maskell this week from Victoria, with the fantastic news of his capture of an Aussie twenty. Not only was I very pleased to hear of Jeff’s success, knowing he’s gone through some lean times of late. But, the fact that the carp had fallen to a boilie recipe of mine, made the news even sweeter, with the good old Tourist Boilie coming up trumps yet again. This lovely looking common came to his right hand rod after only an hour into a four hour session on Tuesday. Twenty minutes later the left hander was away on a screamer, but regrettably the hook pulled after a short fight.
After this success, and having caught a 17lb’er from the same swim on the same bait a week earlier, he had no hesitation to get down for another crack at the water the following evening with Hadleigh Shaw.
Tourist Boilie Caught 21lb 2oz Aussie Common
Second Twenty To TB's At 21lb 6oz
16lb
15lb 6oz
Jeff fished the same swim Wednesday night with both rods on the Tourist Boilies again, over some pellet. He had five takes in four hours and landed four more commons, which included a second twenty of 21lb 6oz plus three other doubles: 16lb, 15lb 6oz, and one of about 10lb. They were certainly having it on the boilies, which are a very simple yet highly effective bait. Well done mate, back to back twenties – that is an awesome result, I’m well jealous!
For those of you that missed the recipe the first time I posted a blog about it, here it is again:
For a 6 egg mix:
500 grams of finely ground Purina One Salmon and Tuna cat food
125 grams approx of polenta (maize meal)
125 grams approx of fine semolina
6 large eggs
8 – 10ls Solar Squid and Octopus Koi Rearer flavour
1 – 2mls Solar Liquid Candy sweetener
Boil for around two and a half minutes, or until they float in the pan. From this mix I get approximately 150 x 20mm dia boilies, nothing super technical, but they work well.
Happy hippo hunting
