I am planning a fishing trip to Chelmsford dam (outside newcastle) in the next few weeks. I want to catch some bigger ones and I was thinking of making a voerplek with maybe some cooked whole millies and a block of cattle lick that has molasses in it. What I need to know is should I just put it in the fishing spot the day before? And any other advice would be appreciated.

I usually make voerplek 3 days before fishing but hte problem with whole boiled mielies and beeslek of molasse blokke they tend to call a lot of smaller fish.
But then you keep busy! Beeslek is better if you only have a day before you start fishing. just remember to tie it to a rock and put a plastic bottle there for a marker so you can cast in its area...

Lekker visvang!

Well it isn't just me fishing so if everyone is busy catching then it is just as good. What do you usually make your voerplek with? And do you think I should just leave the miellies?

Thanks.

I cook crushed mielies for about 2-3 hours and occasionally a molasses block always catch a lot of fish. I put the cooked mielies in orange bags so the fish cant help themselves to quickly and remember to put a rock or something in the bag so the bag doesn't drift away if there's a storm or something. I usually do this 3 days before we go fishing and also use some of the cooked mielies for my bom.

Awesome, how many kg of mielies do you usually cook?

about 15-20kg it gets swollen and really heavy if you boil it.... like mieliepap...

Thanks for the advice, I think I will try and flavour it slightly as well.

Something good to spice it up with that i always use in Dusk and Dawn and Bunspice for carp.. Caramel is also very good
