Catch Reports
And yet another huge UK common!
Posted in Catch Reports on 08th November 2011What is it about the amount of huge commons that the B5 and Black Snail seem to attract? Matt Davies has recently banked commons of 46lb and 46lb 6oz on the B5 and now, long term Essential Bait user Charlie Goult has gone and banked this massive 46lb 4oz monster on the Black Snail!! Further proof that 'big elusive carp' can't resist a high quality food bait.
Charlie has had a break from fishing for the past 11-months but soon made up for lost time when he caught the mahoosive pb common from a Nene Valley pit during a session to celebrate his 28th birthday. Happy birthday mate!!!
Mike on Bag 'n' Stick Liquids
The main function of liquids is to boost food signals in and around your baited rig and increase the chances of fish being pulled into the area. Stick Mixes, Method Mixes and Ground bait 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. On many occasions I’ve witnessed carp being pulled down from the upper layers on to the baited spot, and I have no doubt that this has been due to the liquids sending out attractive food messages through the water column.
Of course these liquids can be used for a number of other useful applications as well. For example, coating pellets with these liquids will disperse quicker/better messages of food than pellets used on their own, and a single Pop-Up launched out into the middle of nowhere will undoubtedly benefit from being soaked in a liquid for a few hours first.
I can honestly say that these Bag ‘n’ Stick Liquids have caught me a number of ‘bonus fish’ when I’ve been pretty much convinced that I would have struggled without using them. There will be a time and a place to use them, but ignore them at your peril!
