The water from cooked hempseed is excellent for this or simply use lake water. By leaving the baits to soak up the liquid before baiting up they won\u2019t be able to take so much of the silt\/sludge smell thus retaining more of their own original smell and taste.<\/p>\n<p>I usually fish around a bit though and try and find the areas the silt doesn\u2019t smell so strong, you will usually find the carp prefer to feed in the less smelly areas. Slightly shallower areas should be less silty as the deeper areas act like a sump and collect the old leaves etc.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this helps.<\/p>\n<p>Best fishes,\u00a0Shaun Harrison<br \/>\n<em>This article first appeared on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.questbaits.com\" target=\"_blank\">Quest Baits<\/a>\u00a0Blog &amp; is reproduced with kind permission<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Shaun!
