Ricky has no Fear!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th May 2012Somerset angler Ricky 'Fear' Thomas has once again shown how to combine good angling skills with what many believe to be the very best carp bait ever produced by smashing his syndicate water to pieces and catching the most carp ever caught during a single 24-hour session!
Rick used the ever consistent B5 boilies to bank no less than 23 carp during the hectic 24-hour stint! Fourteen of these were over 20lbs up to 29lb 13oz with the biggest of the session weighing in at 32lb 5oz! Now that's what we call a dream session for any young angler - well done Rick...
Footnote:- In just three 24-hour sessions using the incredible B5, Rick has now landed 20 doubles, over 20 different 20's and four 30's!
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!
