This recipe is simple and had a good bite response on it�s very first outing including a 22 pounder from the Chicago River. I use the small 13 ounce coffee can and the measurements don�t have to be exact.
- 1/2 coffee can of cooked feed corn that has been ground in a food processor*
- 1/2 coffee can of Frosted Oat Cereal that has been powdered in a food processor
- 1/6 coffee can of semolina flour
- 2 eggs
- enough water or milk to make paste (1 or 2 tablespoons)
- 4 tablespoons of canola oil

Mix all ingredients together to make a thick paste, but solid enough to handle. Let the dough ball rest for around 10 to 15 minutes. Add a little more moisture if you need it. If dough is too wet add the flour - cornmeal mixture to stiffen it up. Roll into sausages and then into balls and boil for around 4 minutes. Spray over with flavor and dry over night or prepare flavor bath (small amount of flavor, sweetener, and color with enough water to cover the baits) and soak over night.
* Be careful with the food processor, already burned up one.

Birdseed Boilie Mix

This has also caught on the river. I tipped the boilie with corn and popped it up. It actually is like a particle boilie and it had a lot action even on the first outing.
- 1/2 coffee can* of cooked feed corn ground in a food processor
- 1/2 coffee can of Frosted Oat Puffs ground in a food processor
- 1/4 coffee can of birdseed Ground to a flour
- 1/2 cup of powdered milk
- 1/6 coffee can of semolina flour
- 2 eggs
- enough water or milk to make a paste (1 or 2 tablespoons)
- 4 tablespoons of canola oil

Mix all ingredients together to make a thick paste, but solid enough to handle. Let the dough ball rest for around 10 to 15 minutes. Add a little more moisture if you need it. If dough is too wet add the flour to stiffen it up. Roll into sausages and with a boilie roller, roll into balls and boil for around 4 minutes. They may not float when done. Air dry on a screen rack. Spray over with flavor or prepare flavor bath (small amount of flavor, sweetener and color) and soak over night. My favorite flavor bath for this one is: Richworth's aniseed, Hutchinson's intense sweet and yellow food color with enough water to cover the baits.
*I use the small, 13 ounce coffee can and my measurements are never exact.

River Boilie Mix

This simple basic recipe works well in rivers or lakes and is simple and easy to make. It is easy to add more or less flavor. I like strawberry or almost any fruti flavor, the flavors can be Koolaide, cake flavors or even specailly made European style carp bait flavors.

Equal parts corn meal, semolina and soy flour
Enough eggs to make it into a dough
Any bait flavor including Koolaide, cake flavors or carp bait flavors, just enough to be able to smell it in the dough
A little artificial sweetner like Equal
A few drops of food coloring
1/4 tablespoon of vegetable oil for each egg

Mix eggs, flavor, sweetner and food coloring. Add premixed flour to make a stiff dough. Let sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Roll into sausages and roll into balls or flatten to about 1/2 inch thick and cut into cubes. Boil for about 1 - 2 minutes depending on how big the balls are, about 2 minutes for 20mm boilies, less for smaller ones. Remember to write down everything in your recipe!! If you catch a BFC you will want to be able to recreate your bait again!!
