Catch Reports
Incredible success!
Posted in Catch Reports on 01st July 2011We've had loads of big common reports lately but Matt Davies has recently taken the carp world by storm and wins our 'Top Catch Competition' hands down. Shortly after catching 'The Mother' from Elstow at 46lb 14oz, (not on Essential Baits) Matt decided to open up his account on Bundy's pit using a mixture of B5 boilies and pellets and on June 16th he banked a new lake record in the shape of this awesome 46lb 6oz common!! This topped an eight fish catch, which also included mirrors of 37lb 10oz and 35lb 4oz - top B5 bombing!!
As if all the above wasn't enough, Matt returned to the pit the following week for a short overnighter and banked anover massive common! This one went 43lb 12oz and was a fish that hadn't seen the bank for 2-years! Once again, the incredible B5 doing the business.
Well done Matt from all at Essential. That really is a hectic spell of big fish action...
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!
