Alex Dockerty’s Top Five Groundbaits for Skimmers<\/h1>\n

When the temperatures drop many anglers turn their attentions to targeting skimmers thanks to their ability to feed well in the cold. One of the best ways to draw skimmers into your swim is to use groundbait, but what are the best groundbaits to use? To help you make the right choice, w<\/b>e’ve enlisted top Commercial matchman Alex Dockerty to share his five favourite mixes that help him bank bags of skimmers, time and time again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black Swim Stim<\/h3>\n

First up in my list of groundbaits for skimmers is the Black Swim Stim<\/a>. A cult groundbait that’s hugely versatile and for me it’s the perfect base mix when I\u2019m looking to use a fishmeal based groundbait for skimmers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it be a commercial or a more natural venue, it can be used over wet and cupped in as stodgy balls or used much drier to create a more active mix. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the dark colour, it blends in well with the lake bed and doesn’t spook the skimmers off. Because of the colour, I also like to fish a bright hookbait over the top of this like a single red maggot, double pinky or corn. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
