14-fish B5 haul!

Posted in Catch Reports on 07th July 2013

Richard Kelly has recently had a fantastic result on his syndicate water with a 14-fish haul topped by this cracking 40lb 12oz common. After catching that many fish during a single session, most would be forgiven for thinking that it's an easy water, but this couldn't be further from the truth, and if you caught that many during the whole season it would be considered as being a successful one!!

Richard and his fishing partner Andy Waller have had phenomenal success from the venue since they started using the B5 and have had repeat captures of most of the big fish on several occasions. 

Top B5 Bombing once again!


Powdered Additives and Extracts

Long time Essential Baits consultant Rick Golder with a stunning '48' from a mega difficult venue. Rick knows the importance of a good food bait combined with the correct ingredients to trigger a feeding response. His results prove this year after year. 

The inclusion of powdered additives and extracts within a boilie recipe will undoubtedly make a massive difference in terms of attraction and palatability. Used at the correct inclusion levels, they will trigger a feeding response and lead to prolonged feeding. They can also be hugely beneficial at repelling nasty sediment odours from 'tainting' the bait. The FF6 found within the B5 is a classic example of this and will always make sure your baits smell 'sweet', even when fishing amongst horrible black silt. 

Many of these products are used extensively within the aquaculture industry to promote feeding, so it goes to show that these ingredients will play a huge part within the inclusion of a successful bait recipe, both short and long term.

Top tip

Betaine is an excellent ingredient for triggering the carp's receptors. If you want an 'instant' feeding response for short session fishing, just pour 20ml Boilie Glug or Liquid Food over 1 kilo of boilies and sprinkle one level tsp of betaine over the top before shaking vigourously.
