Andy banks another stunner!
Posted in Catch Reports on 14th August 2011This magnificent looking 36lb 4oz linear fell to the rods of consistent angler Andy Windmill who always seems to be getting amongst the bigguns. His latest stunner fell to the ever consistent Black Snail but Andy has been using both the Black Snail and the B5 with some very interesting results. Those big 30's certainly seem to love 'The Snail'!!!! Well done Andy and keep those stunners coming...
In his own words and said..... "Over the past three months I've been fishing two gravel pits (one in Berks one in Northants depending on work) mixing it up between B5 and the Black Snail and although the B5 is king in the numbers game the Black Snail is way out ahead on the quality stakes with nothing under 30 so far on the snail!!"
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.
