Catch Reports

B5 blitz in Norfolk!

Posted in Catch Reports on 19th June 2011

We've had another impressive report from a group of lads in Norfolk that have been catching very consistently on the B5. The latest report was sent in by Dave Yarham and includes a tally of fish up to 36lb 4oz.

This group started off with a bang back in February when Ian Dowe banked the first fity of the year just hours after first using the B5!! Since then the B5 has totally dominated the lakes they have been fishing. We would like to thank Dave and Caroline for supplying the pictures and off course the guys on the bank for doing what they do best by using the best!!

 


Bag 'n' Stick Mixes

Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.

Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.

In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
