Creaming It!
Posted in Catch Reports on 11th August 2006During November Colin Hunt from Bristol decided to turn his attention to a tricky Wilts venue that contained a stunning looking linear that had a reputation of being ‘quite elusive’! After two quick pre-bating sessions where he introduced 1kg of Cream-CSM barrels on each visit, he returned to the venue to set his traps for a ‘day only’ session.
After introducing 30 free offerings over each rod, It wasn’t long before Colin experienced a frenzied period of fish feeding activity and went on to bank fish of 23lb 4oz, 27lb 14oz, 26lb 8oz and 25lb 12oz, followed by the big linear at 36lb 2oz…….all by mid-morning!!! Not a bad bait that CSM!!
The use of Food Oils
Richard Kelly is certainly no stranger to big carp, but that's because he understands the importance of a well balanced nutritional food bait. It's paid dividends for him on numerous occasions, as proved again here with another UK forty.
We firmly believe that a well balanced nutritional food bait will completely out fish baits with little or no real food value, and the inclusion of a food oil will help to provide the essential fatty acids required for the carp’s dietary requirements. Further to this, the inclusion of a lipid source will also have a sparing effect on the proteins used within the bait, thus allowing the carp to assimilate the available proteins far more efficiently. In short, food oils will increase nutritional values and provide an extra source of attraction to the finished bait. In short, the fish love them, they increase nutritional values and to cap it all off, they make the bait easier to roll!
Top tip
If making your own baits, reduce the oil content by 50% during the colder months and add a nutritional emulsifier.
