Try Van Den Eynde World Champion, its very sticky so will hold together and skimmers love it. If you want it to break down as soon as it hits bottom (called opening by the top boys) because the bottom isn't flat, add some damp leam. You'll need to experiment at home to see the proportions and time how long it takes to open.
If you prefer to use Sensas or Dynamite, use one of the river mixes, they are designed to hold together to get down before they open.

If you do decide to add damp leam then mix your groundbait as normal, leave for 20 minutes, riddle it....only now should leam be added, the best way is to riddle in a bit at a time giving it a good whisk round between adding it.


Never add water after you have added the leam.

Smallangler i used to fish a venue near wolverhampton called patshull park it is a silver fish venue were the main target was large skimmers, it was fished with the slider and pinky in small balls of groundbait. It is upto 26 ft deep in places so the groundbait had to be just right to get it to the bottem in one piece but then break up once there. For this i used VDE turbo black (the continental 2 kilo bag) and VDE secret mixed the night befor and then riddled again on the bank. I won a fair few matches on this venue once i had got the ratio's right so its not a bad mix for deep lakes or fast rivers.
