yea but what can provoke that sort of behaviour in carp. no normal natural additive liquid bait is doing that, its completely unnormal the hits these boys have compared to others. Hope I am proven wrong and it is some super natural harmless additive that none else knows about that they have figured out.
But lets be realistic its not is it

You're just speculating. You've decided he's guilty and not afraid to slate him about it.
He's one of the best anglers around. He catches more than most, always has.
If it turns out to be true I'm with you, until then you'll not see me condemn him.

The fish will readily take hook baits when aroused but not actually partaking so to say, which is what seems to be implied here with regards possible hormones and their effects on the fish.
I had fast repeated action many years ago fishing away from the main spawning area but on a shallow patrol route with a blatant pop-up, seemed the fish rather than swim around it just tried to eat it in their aroused state, it's not something I ever repeated.
I do hope the rumours are not true as I think it's a step too far.

It was Hassan's questioning on the podcast that really made me wonder. They clearly felt that something unusual had happened as part of the haul on Bluebell and Church lake, something beyond simply good angling.
I still haven't got any idea what's going on and still hope and pray that it was all down to good angling and a special (non dodgy!) bait edge. From what I recall from the Nash podcast he did flat out deny using hormones so we have to take that at face value.

Also praying it's all BS mate because lets face it, if it's true and this product becomes widely used it's a justifiable reason to ban angling.

Have to agree mate, really hope it's all a load of over exaggerated rubbish. Got a bad feeling about it all though.

No single person is going to admit it, there is no governing body, no dope test😂
Can someone prove it?
Im sure I could probably travel abroad and pick it up at a vets without much trouble
The dust will settle , everyone will know who and what
Im not picking on an single angler, but when good anglers are catching nothing and someone's
catching one after the other , moving to the next water and doing it again and again 🤭

TBH the damage has been done anyway now, whether they did it or not!
Just think about it, unless this gets cleared up the guys mentioned will have all of their catches totally discredited. That seems unfair to me in the absence of proof.

completley agree - I think the damage has most certainly already been done - Hearsay, gossip and rumours have spread like wildfire - whether through agendas or a genuine interest in the welfare of angling.

The stuff needs to be named and banned before people start buying and using all sorts of dangerous gear trying to find out what it is..
