Ok, I’m going to share a great little mixture with you guys today. I call it the Pigeon Mega Mix and it works like a charm. For this you will need the following -
2kg of Pigeon conditioner (available from pet shops all over the country) £1.80
1kg of Hemp Seed (also available from pet shops all over the country) £1.00
1kg of Sugar £0.80
2kg bag of method mix (I like to use Van Den Eynde Hi-Pro Carp mix) £5.40
5 litre bottle of distilled water (something like Volvic) £0.99
1 can of Sweetcorn £0.88
Start off by preparing your particles, add the hemp and Pigeon conditioner to a large plastic heat proof container and then boil and add the distilled water until the mix is just covered. (never use water straight from the tap, it is full of chlorine and other chemicals). Give the particles a good stir. The boiling water helps to split the seeds, which allows all the natural flavours and oils to be released.
Once the mix has begun to soak, take the 1kg bag of sugar and 1 litre of water. Add them both to a medium sized pan, then bring to pan to the boil and stir the mix with a whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved and your left with a thick sticky liquid.
Add the boiling sugar water to the container with the Pigeon conditioner and Hemp seed, then stir vigorously for a minute or two, (a good mix is essential). Then cover the container and leave the mix for 48 hours. Return to the container every 8 hours and give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon. Make sure you keep a tight seal on the container.
After 48 hours, return to the container and using a colender or sieve, separate the liquid from the particles.
Add the particles to large pan, then fill the pan with your sugar water and boil the mix for 30 minutes. Keep your excess liquids, you’ll need them later.
Once you have boiled your particles for 30 minutes, separate the liquids from the particles again and put the particles into your large container and keep the liquids to 1 side.
Then take roughly 1 third of the mix, put it into a food processor and liquefy it. This will release all the natural flavours and oils into the mix. All these natural oils drive the carp crazy and stimulate their feeding triggers.
Mix the liquified particles back into the container with the boiled particles and begin slowly adding your method mix.
Stir the mix with a strong wooden spoon or hands if you don’t mind getting them dirty. Be sure you get right to the bottom of the container and pull the mix to the top to maintain the same consistency throughout.
Finally, add your can of sweetcorn and give it one final going over with your hands or spoon until the sweetcorn is evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Use the remainder of your liquids to help bind the method mix and particles together until you find a good consistency. This mix will weight 6.5kg and give you between 60-80 tennis ball sized portions. That should be enough method mix to last you 48 hours and at a cost of less than £10. 
The Pigeon conditioner has an aniseed smell to it, that along with the sugar and additives from the Van Den Eynde Hi-Pro Carp mix simply drive the carp crazy.
The fist time I used this mix, I netted seven carp in a 24 hour session. I hope it brings you similar results.
