That's insane... if this will become common for all anglers at your lakes it will not be good. Salt isn't something you can take out

No, they don't need additional salt in winter above that already dissolved in the water.
As for the other three seasons, well that's a different matter!

As Frothey has already mentioned the baitworks podcast. They have also done on video on YouTube showing Carps reaction to Salt in a tank test.. Barely a raised Fin.. The jury's out for me on Salt and its attractiveness to Carp..

He does specifically state “not for attraction purposes” which is what has been spoken about on this thread. Salt isn't a feeding stimulant, it's an essential mineral for their bodily functions. Also note the fish didn't move far from the Column of water the salt solution was dropped in.

Agree. Mineral deficiency and then having an abundance could stimulate some interest. People can put far to much in to it, think about a fishes basic needs
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
