Stef Horak - Bait and wait.

[Jim Brook]

How much is a pint of casters these days? I know I've gone through a bag of source boilies in a 5 hour session

My trips are getting expensive

£4 a pint my way! Blooming exspensive bait and wait!

I'll stick to source boilies

Bit of a rum bugger Stef Horak and used to enjoy his writings in CAT (the last great fishing mag available at the news agents). Surprised he got away with writing some of it, including once doing something very rude with a sock, and after a curry, tiling a very small room, which was fitted with a smoke alarm. His guts were so bad that he set the smoke alarm off!

I think he told the sock story at a Barbel Society meeting, he didn’t notice two youngsters sat at the back...whoops!

 

[Joe Winstanley]

Does he still fish with smaller baits when the Barbel scene is now full of boilies and bigger pellets?

Yes.

When everyone else is using boilies and pellets, that is when the hemp and caster/maggot approach really comes into its own.

 

[Barry Peck]

Given the choice between a kilo of 'The Source' or 2 pints of casters and 4 pints of hemp .....
I'd take the hemp and casters every time . Especially of stretches that have been battered by pellets and boilies . Once Berbel start to feed on hemp and caster they become voracious

I was at a Regional Meeting where he told that story too, Phil Smith was doing a talk with him. I think he was trying to explain to how to master bait and waiting!
