14-fish B5 haul!
Posted in Catch Reports on 07th July 2013Richard 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!
Liquid Flavours

A cracking forty-plus caught from a pressured venue on the B5 with Shellfish Plum flavour. Bait choice was a key factor to a very succesful campaign on this venue.
Liquid flavours play an important roll within the creation of a successful long term bait recipe for a number of reasons. They will not only help to give the finished bait it’s own unique taste profile, but also give it a distinctive ‘label’ that the carp will come to recognise through association. In other words, you will be educating them to eat the bait and recognise the 'taste' and 'smell' over a period of time.
Be careful not to get flavours confused with attractors though, because in terms of nutritional value, unlike liquid foods, they have little or no food value, however, for the reasons outlined above, they are a very important addition to any successful recipe.
