I tried my hand at boilies, I'm planning on using them tomorrow.......Not sure where though....any ideas near Arlington?

Curt and I fished Bowman Springs Park Thursday. I caught on Boilies. It's not a great spot for big fish, but it's really easy to fish, and fish are usually there.

Let me know when you're going (and where) and I'll see if I can swing by.

I was actually thinking of heading to bowman springs, it's just so easy to fish.....it will be around 9 am..gotta drop the kids off at school first

Cool. PM Me when you are confirmed on your way.

Chad

Will do

I may join you guys to do a little fishing. RG, I will be in a red Toyota pickup..

Look for the black ford focus with a receiver hitch

Change of plans, gotta watch the kids while the wife goes to the doctor. So Tuesday is the day.

Tuesday works for me too. I will try to get out Monday evening and put out some bait...

What is the best to "chum" with?

Boilies or range cubes seem to be the most used. I use range cubes. Corn/maize is right up there too.

Good luck on your 1st attempt at boilies.

The way boilies are conventionally used, boilies ARE your chum, and you're putting out lots of them. Here in the US, completely different than the UK, we use boilies mostly as hookbaits only and put different stuff out, partly because preparing large amounts of boilies is time consuming or buying them is expensive. I don't do this all that much just because of the "match the hatch" idea. If you're feeding out maize or range cubes which have maize in them, why not fish something similar or the same as what is out there on the rigs than go completely different with a boilie?

Or, you can remedy this by adding boilies to whatever you put out

I hope they work, I used a simple recipe........corn meal, sugar, tiny bit of oil and a few eggs.....tossed in some strawberry kookaide mix for color and extra flavor...

Went out this evening and baited up. I will be there by around 8.

I should be there shortly after that
