B5 now nails lake record common!
Posted in Catch Reports on 28th July 2008Having been responsible for catching the lake record mirror from a difficult southern gravel pit earlier this year, the incredible Shellfish B5 has now gone and nailed a new lake record common from the very same venue!
The big fish fell to long term Essential Bait user Mikey Edgeworth and pulled the scales around to 42lb 12oz. Mikey is no stranger to big fish having caught an enviable amount of ‘forty pounders’ in recent years, and this latest big fish emphasises that a combination of a good bait and good angling will always produce the goods.
Advantages of Liquid Foods
Long time carper Dave Gawthorn proudly displays a stunning 40lb+ mirror. Dave often uses Essential's Liquid Foods to his advantage.
Liquid food additives are undoubtedly an important part of the carp angers bait armoury. Their main function is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig or your baited area. Stick Mixes or groundbaits 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, which in turn is far more likely to lead to a quicker rate of investigation and more frenzied fish activity.
Coating pellets with a Liquid Food will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched in the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from boosting the attraction properties with a Liquid Food. They can be particularly beneficial for short session use when you need to maximise attraction in the minimum amount of time. They are also beneficial for coldwater use when we need to send extra messages of food through the water column in an attempt to arouse those otherwise lethargic carp. Ignore them at your peril!
