Catch Reports
A Common Assault!
Posted in Catch Reports on 09th May 2012Many anglers up and down the country have reported numerous personal bests and massive changes to their catch rates since switching over to Essential Baits but few more so than Giles Butt who recently had a dream session to remember, which included breaking his pb common twice and catching his first ever forty - all in just a single day's fishing!!
Giles recently switched over to our Shellfish B5 freezer baits and started to catch consistently from day one. Last week he visited the tricky venue for a short day session and managed to bank a couple of nice 20's, but applied a couple of kilo's of B5 in anticipation of a return visit just 4-days later, but judging by what he caught, it looks like the carp were also eagerly awaiting his return!!
Giles arrived shortly after first light for a day only session, but despite limited time he soon found himself getting amongst the action and during the course of the day managed to bank eight carp, which included commons of 24lb 8oz, 27lb 12oz, 36lb 14oz and a stunning 42lb 4oz specimen! Now that's what we call a bloody good day's hauling by anyone's standard!!
One again the awesome B5 has 'blitzed' another venue and proved that even during short session fishing, it has the capability of turning dreams into reality! Well done Giles, congratulations for everyone at essential and top B5 bombing....
Footnote: Giles has just returned from another short session and banked a lovely 33-pounder...you can't keep a good man down - keep 'em coming Giles...
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!
