Breadpunch my way by Derek Skinner

[daskin]

Take a look at Aldi thick slice, village loaf. Wouldn't eat it though, you'd need a sponsorship with Andrex



50p, - every bit as good as Warburtons at the moment, stops on the hook better.



Some of the 'regular' bread has gone lady lumps up.

Ive found Warburtons feels good but melts off the hook in seconds.

Hovis soft white medium or thick are the best ive found.

but any bread has to be fresh--make sure it has no less than 5 days on the use by date, anything less just isnt fresh

sometimes they have 6 days.

The reason i dont microwave and roll mine is cos if I do it sticks in my punches and once that has happened the punch is F***** for the day.

Something interesting has happened to the Hovis soft white, which now says on the packet--"New softer loaf" and its dead right,, I still get it as fresh as possible--but no need to panic if you cant--the "new " stuff is still ok after a few days, I used some that was 5 days old last week and had 205 fish in 3.5 hrs and it stayed on the hook perfectly.

As there is so much rubbish talked about Punch Fishing -which to be honest annoys me..I decided to make a couple of videos ( very amateur I hasten to add) To back up my original article on Punch Fishing---one video on the way I prepare my crumb, and also of a pleasure session on the Steeping--which I have had to up load onto youtube in 5 parts. my upload speed is so slow--each part took about 8 hrs to upload-so to do it in one Video i would have left it up loading for two days or more-and that just isnt practical.
For anyone that wants to watch them either pm me on here for the link--or put my name in the search box on Youtube .
Hope someone will find this useful

I've now been studying and putting theory into practice for some time now on yer techniques of punch n Liccy prepreation in conjunction with the 5 mtr whip as this is now one of me preferred tactics as regards to roach and have now found meself seriously addicted to this style of fishing
