This is one of the ways I make my homemade trout dough bait. Works great! I've had a lot of success from this recipe, I also have more recipes I'll be posting soon that work great as well.
My own secret: Instead of the oatmeal, buy a jar of goldfish flakes. Crush them up and add that in. Not only does it add scent, but it binds well, too.
Thanks for the video, I loved it! Now I'm watching it once again to write down all the measurements. I can't wait to try it out this week...thanks again!
thanks I'm gonna try this. I hate paying for a little power bait that's $5 when I can make myself. I usually buy power bait and just add garlic powder to it. I guess you can just add garlic powder after its boiled too
I didn't have any flour, so I used pancake mix instead... it all went great until I tried to boil them and they disintegrated... Upon a second effort I didn't boil them. But I experimented with microwaving them. I found that 7 seconds was the perfect amount of time to microwave them. 5 seconds too short and 10 too long. Then I seared some garlic in olive oil, strained it, let it cool, and dipped the 7 second microwaved dough balls in it and microwaved them all another 10 seconds and then chilled them in the fridge... and at the start I through in some orange glitter... I think these babies are perfect... will see how they fish. Going to test them in a glass of water once they are chilled, see if the disintegrating in water thing goes away.
I like that recipe it's a great recipe a easy one to follow and I'm sure that it'll work great now what you recommend to put a little bit more garlic in it so the garlic stays a little longer and gets more intense let's say trigger the fish to bite
theres a rainbow trout farm down the road from where i live which pretty much means an abundance of escaped rainbow, i was thinking of throwing some of that fish feed they use into a food processor and adding it your recipe and maybe throw some of the freshly cooked dough balls into a bag of fish feed powder to make sort like a shake and bake style bait
so i made some just like u did in the video and i went fishing this past sunday and got nothing with this bait at all but i will try again this weekend fishing in new mexico albuquerque for rainbow trout
I am going trout fishing this weekend. Is this good for brook, brown, and rainbow? Also I have a size 6 hook. Will doe fit on the hook, if not what size hook do u recommend?
Preferred fishing dough put in plastic bag and ties with rubber band boiled the package for 40 minutes so the ingredients flavour remain. Ready for fishing.
I think that the balls he made are a bit too big if you have ever seen the power bate nibblet things I think it should be like that size maybe a little bigger
I remember that when we were young and my family did not have to dimes to rub together we always used these type of dough as bait. We caught mostly catfish and carp. We never caught a trout. It does not float at all, it's too dense. but maybe it will work for trout for you?
go on amazon and buy bouancy powder....its a kit,,easy instructions..actually,,making the bait using their instructions,,is great!!and it will outfish berkley powerbait 10 to 1!!!!the trout go nuts for this stuff
So far, makes a DAMN good carp bait, esp when I’ve tried everything in the past but fishing for trout and catching carp like their willingly sacrificing themselves on an alter.🤷🏽
If it does not float it will just be sitting at/near the bottom the whole time if you are not setup right and trout are rarely in that area (they usually prefer to be near the top to hunt for bugs). Carp on the other hand love staying near the bottom. To use bait that does not float you will need to float it off of the top of the water using a bobber or something similar.
