What can decades of carp fishing experience teach us about bait?
Welcome back to Trakker Talk EP.16, the second part of our three-part series with legendary UK carp angler Dave Moore.
This time, Dave and Adam Johnston dive deep into carp fishing bait, covering the evolution of boilies, bait science, bait application, heavy baiting, pre-baiting, natural baits, bait size and carp feeding behaviour.
Dave also shares some of the lessons that changed his approach to bait, including his experiences at Baston, and explains why one of his simplest pieces of advice remains so effective: “Match the hatch.”
If you're interested in UK carp fishing, big carp, boilies, baiting tactics, bait science and carp fishing history, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Always gave great advice and a very likeable angler , one of the old time classic carp anglers with a fantastic mind.
Wish he’d write a book !
v jealous of being able to sit down & chat with Dave for a few hours. huge amount of respect for what he says. no nonsense, no bullshit & a photo album to back it up.
I think Rod Hutchinson bought the recipe from them.
