Pole Fishing For Carp Using Pellet - Sloppy Pellet

For this latest episode we took the cameras down to Cobbleacre Lakes in Norfolk for a short session after work. Opting to fish one of the match lakes on the complex, we were hoping for a few fish on the pole.

With only a limited amount of time we wanted a method which would work very quickly and after a think and a little deliberation we picked out a method/bait that is known as 'sloppy pellet', which is a take on the already popular method of ground bait and worm.

'Sloppy Pellet' was a method that we had stumbled across whilst fishing the method feeder, after forgetting to drain our soaking pellets we were left with a sloppy mush, which we quickly discarded in the margins.



Forgetting about this ‘slop’ we carried on fishing the feeder as planned, only to stop half way through the session and notice a large number of tails and feeding fish over the slop we had deposited earlier.

Always striving for new methods baits and techniques we went home and started to think about how this slop could be used in our angling armoury. It didn't take long and soon we were using it and most importantly catching fish on it!

In this video we try to explain a little more about the method and technique, so if you'd like to know more then watch on...!
