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.
Liquid Flavours
A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
