Not sure what depth you will be fishing at but try a carrier bag with the
weight through the bottom and rubber banded closed.
Fill with whatever turns your stomach and lightly rubber band the top shut.
Lower away and when it reaches bottom a few hard tugs should turn the bag
inside out and hey presto - pounds of ground bait on the bottom

I've been considering groundbaiting for a while trouble is when the tide is
running in about half an hour it will be a mile or more away what seems to
be needed is a slow release maybe a nice oily pile of mackie guts and bits
in a hessian type bag on the anchor rope to give a stream of
appetising smells for a longer period?

Make your ground bait up in advance & freeze it it ice cream tubs,lower it
on a rope or down the anchor line in a weighted onion sack & it will release
as it thaws.Depends on depth & tide run how affective it is,also try a film
canister just above your trace with bait ,bran & fish oil to attract to the
hook,refill as you rebait.

Leave a tin of cat food out in the sun for a bit then smack holes in it
with a screw driver and chuck it in still water - it works :-)

I was in my local tackle shop this AM and they have some wierd and womderful
feeders for carp fishing - I think as part of "The Method".
Seems like a largee frame which you pack with geround bait. Also seems to
act as a weight while it is loaded.
Check it out.

[thanks guys for all input and useful info]

Hi keith,
thanks alot, im definatly gonna look into that, i have a freshwater tackle
shop nearby, im gonna go there and see what carp feeders they have and
browse about, if not i think i will have to make one and tie it to the rig,
one post was about the film canister idea, i have heard of this, but the
canister seems a bit small for boat fishing. Worth ago though, seems perfect
for shore casting etc cos of size and im defintaly gonna make one for shore.
The other anchor idea seems excellent, i have also heard of dropping ball
sized groundbait all around the boat in order to pull the fish in.

Gonna give the carp feeders alook at first, wanna pull the fish to my bait
first, rather than the entire boat ;)

thanks guys
