Just wondered how much bait you take for a week away.
Obviously I appreciate its stock and lake dependent but just interested what you all take?

In the summer I'd take 2kg per day not necessarily going to use it all but just In case.
Edit. Just realised this is a foreign venue thread. I was talking about fishing a week in the U.K.. Never fished abroad so can't comment on that. Sorry for my error.

As much as i can afford/fit
Have gone through 100kilo of boilie and 50kg of particle more than once. I can always bring home what i dont use but very rarely come back with anything especially on a water with a lot of fish or where you can use a boat

20-25kg normally. Buy 20kg each of particles and pellets at the lake and extra boilies if needed. I never bring any bait home.

At least 50kg of bait for me generally. Very few times i have come back with less.
Always go with a ample amount as i have been on a trip when it kicked right off on first night and stayed like that all week... was sticking in 10kg a day and was lucky a mate who was with us lent me another 20kg

Lot of rich people on here then, wait until you get to my age, you will be counting the number of boilies you take with you and that you can afford. Never ever taken more than 10 kgs for a trip to France in over 30 years and never used a baitboat, always preferred old school methods and too late now to change the way I fish! Unless venues restrict the amount of bait that anglers can use which personally I think is a good rule, each angler to their own method, not convinced that the rewards are worthwhile though if you bait excessively.

They certainly can be! My last france trip i had more than the other 4 on our trip combined. Once the fish turned up on me, i was able to basically keep them there for 3 days. You wont do that with 3 or 4 kilos a day

Spot on Dave. Baitboats and excessive baiting are essentially anti social and hugely expensive. Stick to rod craft and bait sensibly. He ducks .......

Anti social? Bit of an exaggeration!

Not as expensive as going all the way to france and blanking because you haven't taken enough bait with you
