How do you prepare goat mix? Do you soak it in anything?

Spices and salt or sugar and honey because as they soak they draw water in
Had success with the carnation caramel tins from Asda and coconut milk had my PB canal carp on this method

you can use dry, but you will find a bit of it floats, so i just add water about an hour before use

Just look for what's commonly called Pigeon Conditioner.
It's a variation of seeds and usually has an aniseed smell.
Easy to prepare by just placing in a container with a resealable lid (bucket or cool box etc.)
Just add boiling water at around 3 times the volume of the Pigeon Conditioner put lid on and leave for around 12 hours. If you want to bulk your particle mix out further i would probably add Maize.

50 or so boilies broken in to pieces, flicked into likely looking places 2 or 3 times a week is all you need, and if the lakes busy and you are being watched 3 or 4 handfuls of pea gravel in unlikely looking spots 😉

Liquidised bread mixed with micronised maize, takes on flavour and dye really well, everything comes to the dinner table.
