Catch Reports
Top Marks Fudgy!
Posted in Catch Reports on 11th July 2007Ageing carper Dave (Fudgy) Fuidge from Bristol has recently managed to bank himself a couple of whackers from a notoriously difficult low stocked Berkshire venue – so he tells us! Dave managed to spot a few carp showing in a different area of the lake and broke the habit of a lifetime by moving swims and putting himself in pole position!
A couple of kilo’s of Shellfish B5 boilies and matching B5 pellets were then presented over a silty patch at the edge of a big weed bed at 60 yards range. Just three DVD’s later and Fudgy was slipping the net under this awesome 38lb 8oz mirror, shortly followed by a cracking 31lb 4oz common. Good angling old fella!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait can simply be mixed together with water, but by adding a liquid food as well, you will be increasing the food signals coming from the bait. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
