More short session success for Rick
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th April 2009Following Rick Golder’s success last month, the Berkshire based fish catching machine has been at it again! His latest success resulted in this cracking 37lb linear (top right) and a 41lb 1oz mirror (below right) during another one of his ‘overnight assault missions’. Rick’s overnight sessions are usually proceeded by a day’s work but we often wonder how he manages to keep his eyes open following such sleepless nights, and like his mate ‘Big George’ says, “He ain’t no spring chicken either”!
Rick has only done 7-nights fishing since his return to the bank after a short break, but during this time has already managed to accumulate a 25, three 37’s and a 41. Although last month Rick was doing the damage on the Creamseed, now temperatures have warmed up he’s switched back to the B5 and has proved what most anglers already know……… when it comes to nailing the big fish week after week, there isn’t anything out there that comes even close to the B5.
Nutritional Base Mixes
Rob Fielding knows the importance of using a high quality food bait and as soon as he switched over to using Essential Baits, it completely transformed his fishing.
It almost goes without saying just how important I believe a good quality nutritional base mix is when it comes to catching carp on a consistent basis. You’ve only got to look at the success of the B5, year after year, to understand that a good quality food source will completely out-fish baits with lower nutritional values.
One of the most important things to remember is that carp have the ability to search out and recognise food signals prior to consumption. In other words, a good quality food source will spell the word FOOD as it releases ‘attractor signals’ into the surrounding water.
Baits constructed with little or no food value are unable to do this, and once any added attractors have been dispersed into the surrounding water, there will be no more food signals coming from the bait. In short, a good quality food bait will continue to send messages of food long after other baits have stopped working, and will continue to prove more successful, both short term and long term.
