The Champions Method Mussel Green Groundbait has quickly become one of my favourites and I have found it equally effective when used for bream as it is for carp. Like most Method groundbaits, it has quite a high fishmeal content, but also contains mussel additives that fish really love. Let’s take a look at how I mix it to the perfect consistency every time. It’s a good idea to make mixing groundbaoit the first thing you do when you arrive at your peg – by the time you’ve sorted everything else out it should have soaked up enough water and will be ready to fish with.
Whilst you can combine this groundbait with others, I find it works great on its own. A bag of groundbait is ideal for a days Method fishing.

Add lake water slowly to the dry groundbait. As with all groundbaits, don’t be tempted to use too much water all at once.
Keep the groundbait moving and mixing all of the time, this will help avoid lumps.
Once you are happy with the consistency of the groundbait leave it for a minimum of ten minutes and then pour it onto a maggot riddle.
Riddle the groundbait to help break down any lumps and also to further mix the groundbait to a finished consistency.
The finished groundbait binds well, ideal for the Method feeder, and breaks down quickly, releasing those fish-attracting flavours.
