Welcome to the site iawnski... would like to find a venue where I could catch on the seed at this time of year! Might be getting a little cold for that at this time of year.

You can catch on hemp all year on quite a lot of venues I know. May not be until the last hour but they will certainly have it.

How much hemp do you have to put in, to get them to feed in this (last hour)

rive t · 30th November 2006, 05:01 PM

Do you have to feed for four hours,and have a look now and again, or just start to feed your hemp line in last hour

Feed a cup at the start and then feed it little and often throughout the session and have a look every now and then. When they do start taking it then the fish are often a larger stamp than those on other baits. You could start catching wiothin an hour, in which case you'll be on for a good day.

Also try fishing a squatt or pinkie over the top as the hemp oil will attract fish even if they are not actually feeding on it.
