2. Three Day Coconut
Ingredients: 1 kg grated coconut; 2 kg fine rice bran (preferably from new rice or jasmine rice); 1 kg breadcrumbs (fine crumbs); soya bean meal; 1 carton of soya milk 300ml
Preparation: Mix the coconut, bread and bran (sieve the bran first). Once well mixed add soya bean meal and soya milk, continuing to mix them together by hand until a nice consistency is obtained, not too dry and not too moist. Adding the milk a little at a time is best rather than dumping it all in and praying. Put the dough in a plastic bag and seal (just tie it off to keep it airtight). Keep for three days and it will be ready for use.
Method of use: Check the bait to make sure it is ready (don't ask). It should simply look ready and smell ready. Fish using a spring feeder rig. Can also be used as ground bait.
Types of fish: All kinds of scaled fish.

That looks a nice specimen. Your post represents the first third party confirmation of a bait working, which is greatly appreciated.

As it has worked for you, I may give it a try myself. I have used similar baits in the past but not this particular one. Unfortunately, I have not been out with rod and reel very often over the past year or two, so getting rusty.

This thread is not only deserving of a bump but it should be stickied, very useful. Thanks Garry
