Catch Reports
Linch Hill Stunner!
Posted in Catch Reports on 05th June 2013Long time carper and team Essential member Shaun Jarvis recently visited Linch Hill in Oxfordshire to pit his wits against some of the lovely carp that reside on the complex and was handsomely rewarded with this lovely dark 'looker' of 35lb 2oz.
Once again, B5 freezer boilies doing the damage for Shaun and with fish like that swimming around we've got a feeling it won't be long before shaun is heading back there again - with a few bags of B5 of course!!! Nice one Shaun...
Bag 'n' Stick Mixes
Team Essential member Wayne Lindsey with one of two 40lb+ commons caught within a week by increasing attraction levels in his baited area.
Since the publication of numerous articles on PVA stick mix presentations, the use of dedicated mixes to facilitate for this style of fishing have become very popular indeed. The main principle behind this type of presentation is being able to place your hook bait smack bang in the middle of a concentrated parcel of food.
In many ways, it's the perfect way to achieve absolute pin point bait presentation around your baited rig, and there are times when it can be an absolutely deadly method. This type of presentation can often lead to an extra bite or two when perhaps single hook baits or stringers fail to achieve the desired results. The extra attraction of tiny particles breaking down around your hook bait will send out a cloud of food that will not only provide a bigger visual target for the fish to see, but will also send out effective food signals into the surrounding water.
