Dr Paul Garner's 10-minute make | Sweetened pellets and bulk groundbait

The combination of sweet additives and fishmeal-based baits has revolutionised bream fishing, and both these can be incorporated into all your baits.

A couple of days before a bream session, put your pellets into a bait bucket and add two tablespoonfuls of molasses to each kilo of pellets. The sweet, sticky liquid will infuse the pellets, boosting their appeal.

Make up a 50:50 mix of brown crumb and fishmeal Method mix. Add a teaspoonful of salt per kilo.

Mix using water with two tablespoonfuls of molasses added to each pint of liquid.

Mix large amounts of groundbait in a sizeable bucket. A groundbait whisk speeds up the process.

Add boilie flake, corn and pellets. Chopped worm and dead maggots are useful additions too. The baits added to the mix will alter the consistency, so add them only when you are ready to introduce your feed.
