Grits Baits
Man I love these baits too. This is truly your cool weather baits. Just like all other pack baits your imagination is your limitation. As long as you have an open mind you can do anything with grits and other pack baits. That is the beauty of them.
Watch them close when you are making them for they are easy to mass up fast. I have had a lot of great fishing trips using them over the years. Got the biggest carp that I ever couth with them also the most hours that I ever won in a signal duby.
With grits you can pack them like a rock too. You have to watch this close with them for if pack to much they will not break up for a long time. Even hours at a time if you don't watch what you are doing with packing them. They are good to use from the winter to the spring. But carp start to turn off of them at the start of hot weather.
Part 2 the making of grits.
Grits are really simple to make. The one thing that you have got to watch is the liquid. For that is what will make you are break you when it comes to making them. Because the teacher said too anytime that you make then start with just half of the liquid that you are going to use. If you miss them you can make them pack to where you can get them out. But I would just get rid of them and start a new batch.
I have miss a lot of batches over the years and tried to save them but just ended up wasting a lot of great fishing time as to where if I had just made a new batch. I would have come out a lot better at catching fish. Be sure to test them as you make them you want to keep a good eye on them and how that they are doing. Things that you need to know for you might have to change the way that you pack them from one batch to another. They do change too as they dry out. That is another thing that you have to keep a good eye on. When they do this just wet your hand a little and shake it over the grits and don’t get too much on them. You can mass then up fast doing this step.
Now if you are adding flavoring, Jell-O or Kool-Aid to them add it to the corn first and let it dissolve for at least 15 minutes before mixing them. I like a good 45 minutes to an hour stirring real good about every 15 minutes or so before I add mine to the grits. Remember we talk about this before in making other baits. A good rule to stay with if you can remember to do so. This really needs to be done if you are using Jell-O or Kool-Aid. Now for a few baits to get you started making grits.
Work all grits real good make sure that they are mix well. Add a little of the liquid about half mix well. The other half with the flavoring in it, if any is use mix well. Let set 20 to 30 minutes and test. This is good for baits 1, 2 and 3.
BAIT 1
2lbs instant grits
1lb plain grits
14oz ketchup
16oz cream corn (1975)
Work all grits real good. Add a little of the liquid about half mix well. Then add the other half mixing well as you add it. Let set 20 to 30 minutes and then test it.
BAIT 2
2lbs instant grits
1lb plain grits
28oz ketchup
8oz cream corn
1oz butternut flavoring (1980)
Work all grits real good. Add a little of the liquid about half mix well. Then add the other half mixing well as you add it. Let set 20 to 30 minutes and then test it.
BAIT 3
CARROTS GRITS
1LB PLAIN GRITT
2LB INSTANT GRITS
1LB INSTANT POTATOES
28OZ HUNTS KETCHUP
8OZ CARROT BABY FOOD
10Z PURE VANILLA
Mix Ketchup, carrots and vanilla together in bowl stirring every 15 minutes for an hour. Take your grits and Potatoes and put in bucket mixing real well. Now pour half of the ketchup and stuff on them and mix in well and do the other half. The reason that you don't do all the wet stuff at one time is, that it will get the grits to wet to work with. Wait an hour and stir in 30 minutes put lid back on and go fishing.
18 oz instant
9 oz quick
1 can cream corn.
Mix and let stand for 30 mins and it packs hard as a rock and breaks in about
2mins. Keep the lid on the bucket and it will last for about 10 hrs before it
starts to lay down on you. After 16-18 hrs depending on the heat it will just
go away. If it lasts that long your in trouble anyway. This is the best way to
make it and go fishing. You can make it on the bank like this and you don't
have the waste that you have with a big batch.
