Catch Reports
Man On A Mission!
Posted in Catch Reports on 04th July 2006Martin Finan from Glos was another Essential user that enjoyed tremendous success on a consistent basis throughout the year. We’ve lost count of how many big fish Martin caught, but during one spell he managed to bank seven different thirties in just 12 days!
Martin used the ever consistent Shellfish B5 boilies and all his fish were caught from a difficult low stocked gravel pit. We shudder to think how many fish he would have caught on a more heavily stocked venue!
Boilie Glugs
The use of boilie Dips/Glugs to increase attraction levels can be extremely effective, particularly on short sessions or for using single hook baits when you want to boost the food signals.
For 'glugging up' your baits, just pour approx 20ml of your chosen liquid into a 1kg bag of boilies and shake well to ensure even distribution. This can be done before placing them into the freezer or after they’ve been taken out. If applying the liquid after the boilies have been taken out, it’s best to let them thaw out first before adding the liquid. It's also advisable to add the liquid to the boilies a few hours before you hit the bank, thus allowing a little time for the boilies to soak it up, although this isn't imperative.
For boosting your hook baits only, one useful ploy is to leave them permanently soaking within the solution and this will really ‘kick out’ the attraction. Bear in mind that pop-ups are likely to loose a little buoyancy if doing this for long periods. Alternatively you can just pour 10ml of the liquid solution into a jar of pop-ups and shake well. This will give them an extra boost without effecting buoyancy levels too much.
